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...

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

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...

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...

And when Allah eradicates his trouble, the human then boasts it and credits it to his mastery and starts denying the establishment of Doomsday. And even if he believes in its establishment, he wishfully thinks to possess Allah’s blessings there too.  • The chapter ends with the declaration of the truthfulness of the Holy Quran • Surah Shura: Sura means advice or consultation.  • This chapter says that the people of Allah settle their important matters and issues by seeking advice and consultations.  • Th...

Rest all were razed to ground. •       Below are the reasons for the destruction of other people: 1.   Firawn and his people: Political power and riches made Firawn and his people go astray; they called Sayyiduna Musa (alaihissalam) sorcerer and insane (astaghfirullah). 2.   The people of Aad had forgotten Allah, and rather than thanking Allah for the...

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.

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...
