• 19th Juz starts with the mention of the polytheists of Makkah; they disliked the fact the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ used to talk about humanity being raised again for its accountability on the Day of Judgement.

• So, they used to demand two things:

1. Face to face meeting with Allah.

2. Descension of an angel toward them (which they could see).

• Allah mentioned that the root causes of these demands are arrogance, disobedience, and the refusal of the Day of Judgement.

• Allah says that the day will come (Doomsday) when the disbelievers will regret. But that day will be the worst of all for them. They will think that they should have heeded the prophets and the messengers (alaihum assalam) and set themselves on the way shown by them.

• On that day, Prophet Muhammed ﷺ will complain to Allah that his nation had forsaken the Quran.

• As per the Quranic interpreters, people forsaking the Quran can means:

1. Neither did they ever listen to nor believe in it.

2. Believed in and read the Quran but did not implement it in life.

3. Ignored the Quran while solving matters of disputes and issues in life.

4. Inconsiderate of the meanings of the Quran (in general).

5. Did not cure the spiritual ailments through it.

• Then the Quran speaks about destruction of the people of Sa’daatuna Musa, Haroon, Nooh (peace be upon them all); the tribes of Aad and Thamood, the details of whom were covered in the previous parts.

• Verse 41 talks about the disrespect which the polytheists of Makkah used to dare and commit against Prophet Muhammed ﷺ. They used to jokingly say that he ﷺ tried to take them away from Shirk (polytheism), but they stood firm on it. Allah says that when they will know the reality and get the worst of the punishments for their sins, they will realize.

• Verse 58 talks about Allah’s blessings in the form of water.

• The Quran says that there are two ways in which relations are formed:

1. One is through birth (blood related)

2. The other through marriage (in-laws)

• 4 characteristic features of the beloved slaves of Allah are mentioned:

1. They neither lie nor wish to be in a gathering where it is spoken or where a matter is being settled with a lie.

2. They neither involve themselves in any activity which doesn’t concern them (or wastes their time), nor wish to remain in a place where such an activity goes on.

3. When the Quranic verses are recited in front of them as a part of an advice, they listen to it carefully with the intention of heeding to it.

4. They pray for piety to be instilled in their wife and children.

• Then a few qualities of Ibaad ur Rahman (the special slaves of Allah) are mentioned:

1. Modesty & humility, and refrainment from the ignorant.

2. Despite spending nights in Tahajjud prayers, they seek refuge from Hell.

3. They refrain from wasteful spending, and stinginess.

• Surah Shu’ra: The theme of this chapter is messengership.

• This chapter has, as if, scanned through the mentality of the poets.

• The story of Sayyiduna Musa (alaihissalam) and Firawn comes up again in this chapter, the details of which were shared before. Then the Quran mentions about Sayyiduna Ibraheem (alaihissalam).

• The Quran says that wealth and children cannot benefit on the Day of Judgement, but only piety can.

• Shaytan and all of his followers will mourn on that day, and they will not find any helper.

• The incidents of the previous prophets like Sayyiduna Loot and Sayyiduna Shuaib (alaihuma assalam) are mentioned again.

• Allah says in the verse 192 that the Quran is Allah’s Kalaam, which was revealed/sent by Sayyiduna Jibraeel (alaihissalam) on the sacred heart of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ in Arabic language.

• Allah the Exalted criticized those poets who write and speak poetry on every aspects, but do not possess a good character. However, He the Almighty praised those poets who are pious, involved in the remembrance of Allah, and write poetry to bring about justice to the oppressed.

• Surah Namal: Namal means ant, as it is mentioned in this chapter.

• The chapter starts off with a declaration that the Quran is a source of guidance to the believers.

• The incidents of Sadaatuna Musa, Saleh, Loot, Daood, and Suleman (peace be upon them) are mentioned.

• Once Sayyiduna Suleman (alaihissalam) was passing by the place of ants (Quran calls it Wadi Naml) with an army comprising humans, genies, and birds, when he heard an any say to the other to get into the colony, before Suleman (alaihissalam) and his army tramples them. Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) listened to it and smiled, submitted to Allah, and thanked Him for all the favors that He the Exalted granted him and showered on his parents.

• There was an attentive hoopoe (Hudhud) in Sayyiduna Suleman’s (a.s.) court. It once informed Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) that Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba and her nation worship the sun.

• Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) drafted a letter calling her toward Tawheed and handed it to the hoopoe to be delivered to Bilqis.

• Bilqis took Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) mistakenly as a worldly king and sent him some gifts.

• Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) said that he had better gifts which Allah had granted him. So, he sent back the hoopoe to Bilqis, informing her that he will bring his troops to her place.

• Then Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) asked his courtiers as to who can bring Bilqis’ throne before she comes to his court.

• One mighty genie claimed that he could do so before the court gets dismissed for the day.

• Asif bin Barkhiya, one of the companions of Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.), claimed that he could do so before Sayyiduna Suleman (a.s.) could blink his eye. So within the blink of an eye, the throne was right in front of him.

• Then a few changes were made to the throne to see if Bilqis could recognize it; when she came, she recognized it.

• In Sayyiduna Suleman’s (a.s.) court, there was a pond which was covered with crystal slabs. When Bilqis stepped on it, she obviously thought it to be the pool so she raised her garments till her lower legs. When she was told that it was a crystal slab, she submitted and said: “O Lord! Surely I wronged my soul (by committing polytheism). And now along with Suleman I submit to Allah, who is the Lord of all the worlds.”

• Toward the end, there’s a mention of the incidents of Sayyiduna Saleh and Sayyiduna Loot (alaihuma assalam), and their struggle against their nations.

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. 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...

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...
