• Surah Hud begins at the end of Juz 11, whose theme revolves round messengership and its universality.  

• Apart from mentioning other prophets, the chapter also mentions the tribe of Aad, and the prophet sent to them – Sayyiduna Hud (alaihissalam).

• The initial verses talk about Allah being responsible for the sustenance of every living being. Everybody’s resting place on earth, and their graves are recorded in the Protected Tablet (Lawh Mahfudh).

• Allah stated that the intention for humanity’s creation is to test them in goodness and evil.

• Allah talks about those who do not be thankful to Allah upon receiving His blessings, but quickly turns ungrateful and hopeless upon being deprived of the same.

• Subsequently, upon receiving a blessing after an affliction, Allah says, a human brags about it, He the Exalted says there is forgiveness and a great reward for those who be patient & thankful, and perform good deeds in every situation.

• Allah the Exalted consoled Prophet Muhammed ﷺ when the polytheists of Makkah asked him why a treasure wasn’t revealed upon him, and why doesn’t an angel come to him to side with him against the Makkan polytheists etc. But Allah told our beloved ﷺ that his job was to warn them which he did, and that he need not focus on their baseless arguments.

• Verse 8 talks about the good and the bad deeds, and the humanity being raised again on the Day of Judgement for being held accountable.

• Again in this chapter, Allah challenges the deniers of Quran being Allah’s word, to produce one verse as that of Quran’s, only to convey to them that this is the Word of Allah, no work can equal it.

• This Juz specifically talks about those disobedient nations who denied following the prophets.

• When Sayyiduna Nuh (alaihissalam) called his nation toward Tawheed, they coined him a common human being, just like them, and considered Sayyiduna Nuh’s (a.s.) followers as degraded people in their society. They called him a liar (astaghfirullah).

• His nation used to worship the idols named Wadd, Suwa, Yaghooth, Yaooq, and Nasr. When Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.) awakened it from idolatry, they all made fun of him.

• After enormous efforts when Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.) realized that nobody else will accept his call to Allah, he supplicated: “O Allah! I have been overcome, help me.” 

• Allah accepted his dua and ordered him to make an ark and take with him all his followers (believers in Allah). 

• When Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.) did so, Allah rained water from the sky, and also ordered the earth to spew water from itself. Winds blew as well.

• All of these natural events took grip of all the disbelievers, including the son of Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.)

• Allah’s orders came to the skies and the earth for the stoppage of the calamity, and the Ark of Nuh (a.s.) halted at Mount Judi (in current day Turkey).

• Sayyiduna Nuh (a.s.) prayed to Allah: “O My Lord, my son was a part of my family, (and your promise is to save my family), and certainly Your Promise is true.”

• In the next verse Allah says: “O Nuh, he is not from your family because his actions were not righteous.”

• This tells us that lineage, ancestry, nationality, doesn’t work unless a person is a believer, and his actions are sound, and as expected by Allah. 

• Then Allah mentions about the Tribe of Aad, which considered itself a superpower. They were a huge people. So, they claimed that none were as powerful as themselves.

• Sayyiduna Hud (alaihissalam) was sent to them, but they never heeded to him. 

• Extremely strong winds then blew and destroyed the Tribe of Aad.

• Then Allah mentions about the Tribe of Thamud.

• Allah sent Sayyiduna Saleh (alaihissalam) to them, but they all asked for a miracle.

• When Sayyiduna Saleh (a.s.) prayed to Allah, a mountain split, and a she-camel appeared from it. It delivered a baby right after its emergence.

• It was a huge miracle, but the people of Thamud cut the she-camel’s legs, then killed it.

• A loud and harsh piercing cry was heard which blew the disbelievers and the wrongdoers.

• The chapter then mentions Sayyiduna Ibraheem and Sayyiduna Lut (alaihuma assalam) from verse 69.

• Allah sent two angels in human form to Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.), who then slaughtered a lamb to host them food.

• When the table was prepared, Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) noticed that the visitors were not interested in the food.

• When Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) expressed his concern, the visitors told him that they were angels, on their way to destroy the people of Lut (a.s.), and have stopped by to give him the glad tidings of a son name Is’haq and a grandson named Yaqoob (alaihuma assalam).

• Verses 77 on discuss the people of Sayyiduna Lut (a.s.). They were homosexual men. When Sayyiduna Lut (a.s.) stopped them of this indecency, they didn’t listen. 

• Sayyiduna Lut (a.s.) asked Allah to keep him and his family safe from this evil act.

• Allah then sent the two angels to destroy the people of Lut (a.s.)

• When they reached Sayyiduna Lut’s (a.s.) place, they were in the form of two handsome men. When Sayyiduna Lut (a.s.) saw them, he thought that the men from his nation would make them too an object of their lust.

• The angels understood this concern of Sayyiduna Lut (a.s.) toward them, and consoled him that his people cannot harm them. 

• The angels rose the area in their wings and threw it back on earth, and stoned it completely.

• Allah then mentions the people of Madyan (Sayyiduna Shuaib’s people) from verse 84 on. They were involved in polytheism and charging unreasonably high rates of profits.

• When Sayyiduna Shuaib (alaihissalam) tried to rectified them, they said that they wouldn’t need a religion which can’t even let them do business.

• Allah imposed on them the same punishment as He inflicted on the people of Thamud (the violent sound blast).

• Allah then says that the ones who stop people from evil remain safe from His punishments.

• In the final verses of this chapter Allah says that He is narrating these incidents so that the believers can take heed and learn from the past incidents and save themselves.

• Surah Yusuf: The only incident which is narrated in this chapter is that of Sayyiduna Yusuf’s (a.s.)

• The stories of other messengers and prophets are narrated all over the Quranic chapters, but the complete story of Sayyiduna Yusuf is mentioned in this single chapter, to which Allah called the “Best of the Stories” as it has:

1. Religiosity

2. Tawheed (oneness of Allah)

3. Character

4. Interpretation of dreams

5. Politics and governance

6. Human psychology

7. Strategies for economic prosperity

8. Beauty, attraction, asceticism, and piety.

9. The mention of prophets and the pious.

• Another great aspect of this chapter that it sketched the then present and future of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ and his opposition.

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...

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...

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.

The salaf would be happy and optimistic when worldly difficulties stuck them:

-  Worldly Difficulties | - The Salaf would be happy and optimistic when something of this world became difficult for them. I never quite understood this statement. Were they happy and optimistic because a difficulty meant eventual ease, as is Allāh’s promise? Was it out of anticipation of a fulfilment of a worldly need? Or was there something more to it? Then it occurred to me after many years of returning to this statement that a man who sets out to find work and finds it easily and effortlessly is a man who misses out on a grand opportunity of begging Allāh and raising his worries and concerns to Him. The man who faces road blocks inevitably finds himself humble, submissive and desperate at the door of Allāh ﷻ. A man who goes in search of a job, a wife, a car, a home, some wealth and gets it readily each and every time isn’t necessarily successful. A man who can easily dip into his plentiful resources and fulfil a need perhaps misses out on the opportunity of turning to Allāh in...
