•        Surah Ambiya: This chapter is named as such because of the mention of many prophets in it.

•        The chapter begins with Allah talking about the close proximity of the Day of Judgement, and the negligence of humanity with its regard.

•        The polytheists of Makkah used to say that Islam will perish after the passing of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ, but Allah negated their talks. 

•        Allah also responded to a few sarcastic rational issues raised by the polytheists of Makkah related to their disbelief in Allah.

•        Allah then talks about the universe system and says that it proves the existence of only One Creator.

•        From verse 30, Allah talks about water, rainfall and said that He created every living being with water. 

•        Allah says in verse 35 that every living being will face death. 

•        Allah then says that the coming of Doomsday will be sudden. It’ll take people by surprise; none will be able to deny it. No one will then be given a respite.

•        The polytheists of Makkah were warned in the next few verses through Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. Allah said that they’d been getting time to ponder about the truth of Islam, but they did not heed. Allah said that they will be kept accountable for each and every action of theirs in the hereafter. 

•        The next verses talk about the incidents of Sayyiduna Ibraheem (alaihissalam) when he was young.

•        On an occasion, the people of Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) went outside the city. Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) remained during that time and broke all of their idols, except the biggest one.

•        When the people returned, they saw what happened. They were curious as to the doer. So they doubted Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.), who in turn asked them to know it from the biggest idol. They all said that it was a mere idol, and it couldn’t speak. 

•        Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) then sought reasons on which they worship them.

•        All of them became furious and planned to push Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) into a huge fire.

•        The father of prophets Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) said: “HasbunAllahu wa ne’mal wakeel” which means Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the Best Controller of affairs.

•        Allah ordered the fire to turn (comfortably) cold on Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.).

•        Next is the mention of the story of Sayyiduna Daood (alaihissalam) from verse 78 onward.

•        Some goats which belonged to a man from Sayyiduna Daood’s (a.s.) community went into a garden of grapes and grazed in it. 

•        When the matter was brought to Sayyiduna Daood (a.s.), he decided that the owner of the goats be given to the owner of the garden as the loss was almost equivalent to the market value of those goats. 

•        On the above statement, Sayyiduna Sulaiman (alaihissalam) advised and added that the owner of the farm should retain the goats, use (consume or sell) their milk and wool, and the owner of the goats should take care of the garden. When the trees grow back to normal, the goats should be returned to the owner.

•        Sayyiduna Daood (a.s.) accepted Sayyiduna Sulaiman’s (a.s.) advise as not just the farmer was getting the compensation, but the owner of the goats was also being saved from losses. 

•        Allah says that He granted Sulaiman the ability to make accurate decisions, and also that He provided both Sulaiman and Daood the treasure of knowledge and decision-making abilities. 

•        This shows that Islam allows a judicial house to vet or review a statement in another house of judiciary. 

•        Then Allah mentioned the miracles of Sayyiduna Daood (a.s.) and how the birds and mountains chanted Allah’s praise with him. Allah also mentioned that Sayyiduna Daood (a.s.) used armor for self-defense, which goes on to prove that preparing oneself or making provisions to self-defend is not against Tawakkul (trust) in Allah.

•        Allah gave Sayyiduna Sulaiman command over winds, which used to fly his throne to a month-long distance of travel (as per those days). Genies were also set under his command who used to perform multiple tasks.

•        Then Allah talks about the ailment of Sayyiduna Ayub (alaihissalam), who bore it for an inordinate lengthy time span, with patience; his immediate family members too left him due to him being involved in the disease. 

•        Sayyiduna Ayub (a.s.) NEVER complained about the abandonment or the disease. 

•        After a long time, Sayyiduna Ayub (a.s.) prayed for his health; Allah accepted it, blessed him with sound health, and also recompensed for the harms which he underwent during the ailment with the best returns. 

•        Then Allah talks about Sa’adatuna Ismail, Idrees, Dhul Kifl, Zakariyya, and Yunus (alaihum assalam). 

•        Talking about Sayyiduna Yunus (a.s.) Allah narrates that it was only He who knew his sorrow in the belly of the whale. Sayyiduna Yunus prayed: “La ilaha illa Anta Subhanak inni Kuntu Min al-Dhalimeen”. This sentence is called Ayat Kareemah. Allah cleared off all the sorrows and problems of Sayyiduna Yunis in return for his dua, and also delared that He will do so to all those who recite this verse. 

•        Then there’s the mention of Sayyidah Maryam and Sayyiduna Isa (alaihuma assalam).

•        Allah talks about the Day of Judgement, its horror, and the deeds which are being recorded.

•        The appearance of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) is being mentioned as one of the greater signs of Doomsday. 

•        Close to the end of this chapter, Allah called Prophet Muhammed ﷺ as someone who was sent as a mercy to the whole of the universe.

•        Surah Hajj: Allah starts off this chapter by ordering people to be pious, and then carries on to talk about the horrors of Doomsday: mothers will abandon their children; people will look as if they are high after drinking, though they’ll not be so. However, the fright of Doomsday will make their appearance and reactions as such.  

•        Allah talks about the embryo and the way a human being comes into existence. By this he wants humanity to understand the concept of life after death. Before a person is born, his existence and identity is unknown. But s/he comes into being and gets identified.

•        Verse 27 talks about the great achievement of Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.) which was to build Kaba, along with his son Sayyiduna Ismail (a.s.).

•        When Kaba was built by them, Allah asked Sayyiduna Ismail (a.s.) to call people for Hajj. When he finally called, Allah sent the sound of the call for Hajj to everyone, including those who were yet to be born till the Day of Judgement. All of them said: “Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik.”

•        Then Allah talks about Hajj, sacrifice (of the animal during Hajj/Dhul Hajj), charity and puts light on caretaking of the poor.

- Quran Juz 15 – Sub’hanalladhiz - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 15  – Sub’hanalladhiz Summary Join Us:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI •        Surah Isra/Bani Israel: This chapter talks about the night journey of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ toward the Heavens (Isra & Meraj), an honor that no one else other than our beloved Prophet Muhammed ﷺ received. Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...

A lot of times, its not the message itself, but how you present it, that moves hearts and changes minds:

Once, the Caliph `Umar saw a group of people around a campfire in the middle of the desert. Instead of calling out to them with the phrase, 'O people of the fire!', he chose, 'O people around a light,' to make sure that a potentially negative phrase didn't affect them. At another time, the grandsons of the Prophet (salla Allah alayhi wa sallam) saw an old man performing wudhu, but making many mistakes. Instead of berating him, they went up to him and said, 'The two of us are arguing which one has the better wudhu, and we'd like you to be the judge between us.' When he saw how perfect their wudhu was, he said, 'It is my wudhu that needs to be corrected, not yours.' A famous preacher of the last generation - during a time when there was a raging debate regarding the theological verdict of the one who abandons the prayer, is he a Muslim or not - was asked, "What is your opinion about the one who abandons the salat?" The person that as...

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...

All wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth:

  From the   Islamic point of view, even though man can have private ownership rights to the wealth, however, Allah has clearly laid down the terms of trust. This is because, in Islam, all wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth. On this point, Islam prescribes ways to carry out the trust so that a person has no right to use it to satisfy his whims. He has to observe the Divine commandments. If the violation is serious,  hence, his inability to use his wealth properly provides the basis for the forfeiture of his right to his wealth.  For those whom Allah has blessed with wealth, it is a test; and Muslims should strive to pass this test by not becoming worshipers of hoarded wealth.  Note: The above is taken from below Source.
