Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI


•        Surah Anfal continues in this Juz and talks about the spoils of war and its distributive methods.

•        The Battle of Badr is mentioned once again.

•        In this battlefield, the land on which the polytheists of Makkah had had stationed was a smooth plain. They also had water at their end. In contrast, the land where the Muslims had camped was very sandy, which posed difficulty to walk on; availability of water was scarce too. Despite these foundational difficulties, Allah granted victory to Muslims, so that the Muslims at and the polytheists at Badr who fought the war, and the rest of the world till the end of times can adjudge who was on the right path. 

•        Following are the Quranic principles of gaining Allah’s support are being mentioned, they are:

1.        Steadfastness.

2.        Abundant remembrance (dhikr) of Allah.

3.        Refrainment from internal conflicts.

4.        Observation of patience during inconvenient times against the enemy.

•        The Divine Rule: The defeat at Badr brought disgrace to the Quraishi polytheists of Makkah. If any nation slips into disobedience rather than thankfulness, and injustice rather than obedience (of Allah), then it has been Allah’s rule to also change the situation of that community and involve it into calamities so that they can retrospect.

•        The secret of any nation’s rise or fall: Then the indisputable rule of nations’ rise and fall is being mentioned: Allah does not bring downfall to any nation unless it degrades itself (in terms of everything: manners, justice, political system, trade & commerce, economics, etc.).

•        Shaytan’s escape from Badr: Shaytan was present in human form at Badr during the combat, in the form of Suraqah bin Maalik. He was provoking the disbelievers to fight. But when he saw Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihissalam) descend with 3000 (three thousand) angels, he started to escape. When the disbelievers asked him, he said: “I see what you cannot see. I am afraid of Allah, and His grip is very intensely tough.”

•        Allah asked to deal strictly with those people who break agreements. 

•        Muslims were advised to prepare for Badr on these lines:

1.        Materially (through wealth etc.)

2.        Militarily

3.        Spiritually

•        Verse 72 talks about maintaining hearty relations with those who love Allah and believe in Him.

•        Surah Taubah: This chapter talks about the acceptance of the Taubah (repentance) of those three sincerely companions who did not come forward in a Ghazwah.

•        The Basmalah is not read before reciting this Surah.

•        It declares that Prophet Muhammed ﷺ gave his due right by introducing Allah’s commands (Islam) to humanity.

•        This Surah also exposed the true character of the then hypocrites who were soft deniers of Zakah and combats for defending Islam.

•        Allah the Exalted advised Muslims to love Allah, His Prophet ﷺ, and the struggle in the way of Allah, more than the love of materialistic things of this world.

•        It is being mentioned that Muslims, since the beginning, despite being few in numbers, struggled in the way of Allah through persistence and by seeking Allah’s help.

•        However, in Hunain the Muslims outnumbered the disbelievers. Somehow, they felt superior. But the archers of the opponents scattered them. It was due to the persistence of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ that they all assembled again.

•        Verse 40 talks about the virtue of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra), for his sacrifice and proactive support for Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.

•        The chieftain of hypocrites Abdullah bin Ubayy was involved in deep enmity with Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. But when he died, Prophet Muhammed ﷺ didn’t take even a second’s time to lead his funeral prayer. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (ra) kept on questioning Prophet Muhammed ﷺ, as if he didn’t want our prophet ﷺ to lead the funeral prayers. 


Allah revealed the verse which said that even if the prophet ﷺ prayed for Abdullah bin Ubayy for 70 times, he will not be forgiven. Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said about this revelation to Sayyiduna Umar (ra), but also said told him that if Allah were to forgive Ibn Ubayy if he prayed for the 71st time, he would still pray for his forgiveness. (Allahu Akbar!)

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...

# The Invisible Foundation: How Islamic Scholarship Built the Modern West:

 - The history of "Western" knowledge is often told as a straight line from Ancient Greece to the European Renaissance. However, modern scholarship reveals that this narrative has a massive "missing middle."  For over five hundred years, the Islamic Golden Age did not just "preserve" ancient knowledge—it revolutionized it, creating the very empirical and logical tools the West uses today. ## 1. Beyond Preservation: The Birth of Experimentation While the Greeks excelled in deductive reasoning (thinking from general principles), Islamic scholars introduced the **inductive, experimental method**. The most prominent figure was **Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)**. In his *Kitab al-Manazir* (Book of Optics), he rejected the Greek theory that the eye emits light. More importantly, he established that theories must be proven through controlled, repeatable experiments (Piniés, n.d.). This methodological shift is now recognized as the foundational root of the modern scient...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A web-app that could assist the elderly with their namaz:

 Assalamu Alaikum! I made a web-app for the elderly. Backstory: my Nani used to be very punctual with her prayers but suddenly she stopped praying. My mom promptly noticed this change and asked her why she wasn’t praying and she said that it’s because she forgets the ayat, or what to say, or even the rakat. So my mom would sit with her and basically pray the whole namaz with her. Now years later my mom asked me to make an app that could assist the elderly with their namaz. So I made this web-app. If you guys know anyone that’s at an age where they’re starting to forget things and you think this could benefit them. Just let them know about it and let me get that sawab.  Thanks, Sherry Click to open: https://www.salahcompanion.us Source: the above information is recieved through whatsapp

Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem - Summary

 Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW •        Surah Fatiha: Fatiha means opener. It comes first as per the sequence in the Quran, but fifth in terms of revelation. •        As per a hadith in Tirmidhi, the likes of Surah Fatiha doesn’t exist in the previously revealed books. •        Fatiha miraculously accumulates all the 5 topics that the entire Quran deals with. They are: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) & Risalah (prophethood), Hereafter, Shariah rules, beautiful ending of the followers of the Qur’anic world order, and the dreadful end to the opposers of it! Hence the reason we’re obliged to recite the essence of Quran – Surah Fatiha in every Ruku of the prayers. •        It also has other names like Surah Kanz, Al-Hamd, Munajaat, Al-Sawal etc. •        Surah Baqarah: Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said that Sahytan doesn’t enter the h...
