Reflections from Ibrahim’s عليه السلام conversation with his father in Surat Maryam, 41-48: Lessons on Da’wah
When we observe people who’re close to us, maybe a member of our family, a friend, a relative or any person beloved to us, engaging in acts of disobedience to Allah subhaanahu wa ta’ala, our heart grieves, it’s excruciating, and the eyes shed tears because we love them for the sake of Allah, and we don’t want ...See more

A reminder from the Prophets (AS):
You may have the worst father [figure] in history. But you still have to speak to him with kindness and treat him with respect. Even if it feels that he isn't worthy. However,
(1) he may have made the smallest contribution to your upbringing and that deserves respect
(2) your kindness to him despite his evil might pull at his heart and perpetuate positive change.

Ibrahim (AS) starts out by disproving any false Gods, explicitly says 'Do not worship Satan. Surely, Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate'. Ibrahim (AS) then praises Allah (SWT) by calling him the Most Compassionate. This is similar to the Dua presented in the beginning of the halaqa, where we admit our faults, and then praise Allah (SWT). Later on in the sura, it explains that we should embrace Tawhid, and to always give Dawah...See more

Bilal May Allah be pleased with him stopped giving the athan after the prophet peace be upon him passed away as it would remind him of the blessed prophet.
I never truly understood this concept untill I had to recite these surahs after my mother الله يرحمها passed away. Tbh I’ve been avoiding these surahs because of the emotional weight they have on me now.

Isn't it so interesting that Zechariah (a), a healthy adult, couldn't speak for 3 days and then a few ayahs later, we read that Isa (a), a newborn baby, could speak clearly?

In addition to being from amongst the greatest woman of mankind, their is another hidden wisdom as to why Maryam AS is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran.
The Arabs of old, especially the elites amongst them (kings, noblemen, etc.) would never mention the names of their wives publicly because to them this was degrading to their honor as they held their wives too sacred to allow for their names to be on the tongues or ears of other men...See more

God (swt) frames the story of Zakaria's duaa by introducing it as a mercy from Him.
As Zakaria is making his duaa, we're listening to him and we already know that God is having mercy with him.
He's Merciful in listening to Zakaria, He's Merciful in answering him immediately, He's Merciful in allowing him to empty his heart of all concern before gifting him a son.
What other mercies is God showing His slave?
