•        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!)

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama - Summary:

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Surah Hijr: This Juz starts with Surah Hijr (the chapter’s first verse is in Juz 13 though), which talks about the people living in the Valley of Hijr (Hegra) i.e. the Tribe of Thamud.  • This brief chapter is uniquely themed at the foundational principles of Islam: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Risalah (messengership), and the Hereafter. • Allah tells Prophet Muhammed ﷺ that though the disbelievers do not wish to accept Islam, a time will come when they wish they should have accepted it. • As per a hadith, this will happen when they’ll see some Muslims too in Hell, undergoing a punishment. The disbelievers who knew them in life one earth will then taunt them and say that they were Muslims and how come they are in Hell. • However, at the completion of the Muslims’ punishment tenure, Allah will place them in the Heaven. Seeing it, the disbelievers will wish that they should have accepte...

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...

A key insight into the development of your child:

THIS WAS DELIVERED BY SHAYKH AKRAM NADWI IN A CONFERENCE AT THE AZHAR UNIVERSITY, CAIRO. DEPT OF ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY EDUCATION. - The purpose of marriage is to have children and then educate them to worship Allah SWT. - When a child is born, a mother and father are also born. - The personal development of the parents is just as important as that of the child. This point is often overlooked. - Modern education seeks to incorporate people into the economy - to make money. Islamic education seeks to train people to become 'good' individuals, in terms of their character etc. 'Good' meaning to prepare for the Hereafter. - Your children, before they are your children, they are the slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede your rights. - Your duty is to teach them and provide them guidance - not to make them pious. You will be questioned whether you taught them right or not. - Parents need to realise they too are slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede their...

Before the Sadaqa reaches the one who needs it, it reaches the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’alah first:

 - *A true story* Let me tell you a story about a teacher This teacher was trying to collect money from other teachers to furnish the Musallah (prayer room) of the school and fix an AC unit. She said: I never gave up; I used to talk to the teachers every day and remind them of the great reward of this deed. I was collecting bit by bit hoping to reach the needed target, it took me almost a month. One day one of my colleagues said: Enough, you are really disturbing us! You keep asking all the time. I said: WAllahi it’s a great cause and it is the path to Jannah in shaa Allah, give anything even if it’s one Riyal. She said if I give you a Riyal would you leave us alone. I answered: Yes, in shaa Allah. She then took a Riyal from her handbag and threw it at me! The teacher who was collecting the money says: I completed collection from my family and friends and Alhamdulilah I managed to collect what I thought would be enough to furnish the Musallah and buy the AC unit. Then she says: WAl...

What was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me:

 - Surrendering to His Plans & Timings This step is the key to complete freedom, but also the hardest to do. Surrendering to Allah SWT is vital when we want to "rest" because we can't be calm and be at ease when we have not learned to completely let go and surrender to Allah SWT and His plans for us.  I'm still trying to learn and practice doing this but the faster I surrender and submit to Him, the faster my heart rests.  Remembering these things have helped me immensely in handing over all of my affairs to Him: - Surrendering to Allah is not giving up. In fact, surrendering to Allah is the first step to success as you are letting the Lord of the Worlds, the Most Wise, the Most Powerful, the Most Compassionate, take over your affairs.  - Imam al Shafi'i understood this notion of "surrender" extremely well. He said, “My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me." And Wh...
