• 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 accepted Islam in their lifetimes.

• Verse 22 on talks about the Might and Majesty of Allah, and His control over the nature.

• Allah says that the sky has been secured against Shaytan. If the Shayateen try to come toward it to listen to the heavenly affairs, Shahab Mubeen chases them to scares them away.

• Allah says that the lands have been anchored by mountains, so that it remains firm. 

• Then there is a mention of the Water Cycle.

• Allah says that life and death is in His Control. And that He knows very well of those who have lived and died, and also those who are living and are about to take birth.

• Allah talks about how easy it is for Him to assemble every soul on the Day of Judgement.

• Verses 26 on discuss the creation of humans and genies. Allah made humans from dry clay, genies from smokeless fire.

• He the Exalted asked the angels to prostrate human after He would blow His spirit into it. Every angel did so, except Iblees. It is noteworthy that one of the reasons why human being is at an elevated place is because of the spirit (Rooh) given to him/her by Allah.

• Iblees then vowed to take away humanity from the right path, which leads to Allah’s pleasure.

• Allah told Iblees that he will not be able to mislead His sincere slaves, and promised Hell to those who will follow Iblees.

• Allah took the responsibility to safeguard the Holy Quran.

• Then Allah mentions about the people of Sayyiduna Lut (alaihissalam), and the Tribe of Thamood & their place Hijr (Hegra in English).

• Then Allah says that He Himself is enough to those who make fun and mockery of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.

• Surah Nahl: Nahl means honeybee. Allah talks about the mind-boggling ability of the bee to make honeycomb and produce honey. 

• Honeybee is just another insect, but with the abilities given to it by Allah, it performs such amazing tasks which human brain finds fascinating. 

• The honeybees make a hive, distribute responsibilities among themselves, and collect nectar from far-lying trees and plants. 

• Every hive has about 20 to 30 thousand hexagonal cells. It has separate cells to store honey, to beget their younger bees, and to collect waste from them. 

• One queen bee rules over thousands of them. 

• Few of the bees take care of their younger ones, few work as security force for the queen, few are into engineering and designing of the honeycomb, others remain on guard duty which check the hygiene of the bee returning from different places. 

• Overall, there are many things in the honeybee for a human being to wonder about.

• Allah mentions other of his blessings, and as such this chapter is also called as Sura Na’am (blessings).

• Allah speaks of the travel through seaways. Allah says that it also provides people fresh seafood, and pearls to make ornaments. 

• Allah talks about his blessings to humanity because one of the characteristic features of humans is to recognize it and be thankful.

• Allah then talks about the polytheists who relate girls to Allah. Allah says that they themselves used to get dejected upon hearing of the birth of a girl in their families. Allah is Glorious and is free and from having relatives. 

• In the verse 90, Allah commands the establishment justice and caretaking of the poor, and orders abstinence from indecency. 

• In the next verse Allah orders fulfilment of promises and prohibited going against them. 

• Allah promised the grant of a pure life (free of sins) for those who do good, and of the best reward.

• In the verse 103, Allah responded to the allegations and blasphemy against Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. 

• Verse 106 of this chapter gives the permissibility of uttering Kalima Kufr (those words/phrases if said with certainty, a person becomes a disbeliever) when a Muslims is surrounded by the non-Muslims, and forced to utter it with no other option left than getting killed. Though it is superior for a Muslim to get killed even in such instance.

• Then there is a brief list of the permissible and impermis sible consumables.

• Allah then commanded to adopt Sayyiduna Ibraheem’s (alaihissalam) approach toward life and Islamic propagation.

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...

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...

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

 There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...
