Summary

•        At the start of this Juz, Allah talks about two types of characters:

1.        The first is that of the one who lies about Allah and denies the truth. Such will enter Hell.

2.        The second is that of the one who always speaks truth about Allah, and whenever he encounters truth, he not just accepts it but supports it. Such a person is a Muttaqi (Godfearing); Allah will forgive all of his sins and everything that he craved will be presented to him in Heaven. 

•        Allah calls slumber as temporary death; though He says that He takes away the souls during sleep and death, this action is prolonged on the ones who die. A lesson can thus be learnt by those who ponder. 

•        Verses 49 onwards talk about the human tendencies wherein a person calls Allah while in pain and suffering but forgets thanking Him while attaining blessings from Him. All those who did so in the past were punished, and all those who do or will do so will also be punished. 

•        Allah’s special offer for disbelievers and sinners: Verse 53 states that Allah keeps His doors of mercy open for disbelievers & sinners, and calls them to repent and turn toward Himself. So, they should always be optimistic with regards to their feelings and approach toward Allah.

•        Similarly, Allah also promised forgiveness to Muslims who repent sincerely after going astray. 

•        Surah Mu’min/Ghafir: This chapter talks about the truthfulness and fearless voice of a person, and one of the attributes of Allah which is to forgive sins. 

•        The start of the chapter speaks about the Holy Quran as a miracle of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ, which still is a witness to his messengership despite centuries passing by. 

•        Verse 7 states that the angels which hold the Throne, and are around it, glorify Allah, and pray for the forgiveness of those who repent. 

•        The next few verses talk about the disbelievers and their abode in the hereafter. 

•        Then the episode takes us back to the times of Sayyiduna Musa (a.s.) whose opposers said that they opposed him due to him changing people’s religion, and creating corruption on earth (astaghfirullah)!

•        During this time, when Sayyiduna Musa (a.s.) prayed to Allah for help, one of the most influential men from Firawn’s family rose up, accepted Islam secretly, and declared his open support to Sayyiduna Musa by ignoring all the national, social, and political protocols, and said: “Are you willing to kill a person who calls you toward Allah and has clear signs and miracles?” But Firawn didn’t heed. He remained firm on his verdict to kill Sayyiduna Musa (a.s.). If we take a look at today’s dictators, they act similarly. They deem their words to be the final statement. We also have such imposers ruling over the Muslim lands today, who do not even consider consulting Islamic scholars on any matter. 

•        The defender of Sayyiduna Musa (a.s.) said: “O my people! Think over this – you rule over these lands today, but if Allah’s torment comes on us, then who will save us from it?” Finally, he said this in a sad tone: “You’re not heeding me today, but a day will come when you’ll recall my words, but repentance at that time will not benefit you. I leave everything on Allah.”

•        However, Allah saved him and destroyed Firawn and his army.

•        Then the Quran talks about the mutual fight amongst the sinners. They will seek at least a day’s parole from Hell, but their request will be turned down.

•        It is sufficient for a human to consider his own creation to know Allah. Every human goes through multiple phases as an embryo. And when he is born, he is utmost weak, with no sense of anything. Then Allah strengthens him and gives him wisdom and understanding during adulthood, then Allah returns him to old age which brings to him weaknesses again. Then death takes him over, but that is not it. He is given life again so that he can undergo the remaining stages in the hereafter. 

•        Surah Fussilat/Sajdah: The start of the chapter mentions different sarcastic reasons the disbelievers give to not accept Islam.

•        Allah mentions that a few nations still do not believe in Him despite seeing the nature that He created, which has hidden signs of Him. 

•        Next verses again talk about the nations of Aad and Thamood. (These nations are being mentioned in the Quran again and again so as to keep a human alert again and again and he doesn’t follow their footsteps of disobedience).

•        Verses 19 onwards talk about the time on the Day of Judgement when the body parts of the deniers of Allah will give statements against them to Allah. It also narrates the dialogue between them and their body parts. (Refer to the Quran for more).

•        Good news for the believers: Glad tidings are being given to the believers when they die. Their spirit will ascent upon heavens only to be welcomed by angels who will tell the spirits neither to worry nor to be sorrowful of anything. The spirits will then be told that Allah has arranged a feast for them in Heavens, and everything that they will wish for will be present right away. 

•        A unique advice from Allah: Verse 24 says that good and evil cannot be equal. Allah advised us to try to return evil with goodness. Thus, a time will come when the opponents become close friends and supporters. 

•        Allah said in the verse 39 that the celestial bodies like sun and the moon are the signs of Allah. So He asked us to look into it as a sign, rather than being taken as gods.

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

 - # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Allah talks about those Christians who cannot control their tears when they listen to the Qur’anic recitation. This was especially in context to Najashi Ash’amah, the Christian King of Habsha who had accepted Islam. • From Verses 87 of Surah Maidah the topics like Halal & Haram and extremism are discussed. • Islam is a religion of balance. It neither calls for abstention of permissible items (for drinking, eating, wearing etc.) as piety, nor does it abolish the distinction between Halal & Haram. • Verse 89 talks about oaths (qasm/aqd). The penalty of breaking the oath is to either feed 10 poor and needy, twice, with an average food of his/her usual intake (cost wise), or to clothe them, or to free a slave. If someone cannot do it, he/she should fast on three days. Allah also advices to be true on oaths to be safe from getting penalized. • If a person takes an oath of...

Don’t fall into being from those who are unjust and falsely assume:

 - ASSUME GOOD OF PEOPLE: 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A girl willingly jumps into a car after the male driver who sees her walking in the streets tells her to get in. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A man walks into a mosque while everyone is praying to wash his hands and leaves it without joining the prayer. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A teenage boy is greeted by a passerby but doesn’t return the Salam. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 - 1st scenario: the driver was the girl’s brother - 2nd scenario: the man had already prayed in a mosque nearby which finished earlier - 3rd scenario: the teenage boy is deaf 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 Many people will fall into this trap of assuming bad of others. How can a girl ever agree to ride with her guy friend, how can a man dare to enter a mosque and leave without joining in on prayer and how can young boy not have respect and answer back the greeting. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸 A scholar once said: “If I see my brother and his beard is dripping alcohol...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon):

 - The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered His ﷺ last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat. His ﷺ words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. After praising, and thanking Allah He ﷺ said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds.  AL...

We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more:

 - August-04-2021. Today's learning: **Money controlling efforts:*   *Introduction:*  Islam has always reminded us to address the human problems by continuously checking and balancing the wealth, instead of remaining in the hands of few.So, the method of rotation must keep going on, in order to allow the free flow of money between all the people. No matter what, ultimately even after our great efforts to hoard it, one day or the other it's going to leave us eventually.  *Hard earned money:* Islam says that hard earned money's value is more loved by Allah subhanahu wa taala as was earned by Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him).Allah made the iron smooth for him to turn it into different shapes and make it a useful commodity/good. Once Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about the best job, and he replied by saying. "A job that is done by one's own hand,and every decent trade. Hadith Imam Ahmed (16628).  *Methods of utilising:* One could spe...

Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing):

 - "The intelligent person is the one who takes account of himself (subjugates his soul) and works for what comes after death. And the helpless person is the one who follows his desires and then entertains baseless hopes in Allah." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2459; Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 4260) In an era dominated by hyper-connectivity and endless external noise, the human mind is rarely granted the space to simply pause. While modern psychology heavily promotes mindfulness as an antidote to this existential fatigue, Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing).  Far from being a vague, abstract concept, classical Islamic scholars treated self-reflection as an active, daily operational framework—a psychological necessity for purifying the heart and mastering the ego. By exploring the practical models left behind by giants like Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn al-Qayyim , we uncover a time...

Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen):

*Raising children* Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen). This is really beautiful. Women expecting children would ensure every morsel going into their mouths was halal. Breastfeeding mothers would repeatedly recite Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas and du'as of protection over their babies. When a child first began to speak it would be taught to say: رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبّاً، وبِالإِسْلامِ دِيناً، و بسيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيَّاً ورَسُولاً ‘I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with our Master Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet and Messenger.’ Parents would teach their children the importance of making good intentions and what intentions to make just as they would teach them how to recite Surat al-Fatiha. Parents would teach their children to call upon Allah in every situation. If a child asked for something, his parents would tell him to perform wudu, pray two rak'ats and then ask Allah to fulfil his...

Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...
