It's never been so important to be particularly requesting guidance AWAY from the path of those both earning His displeasure and those who go astray. Those are two separate categories of disbelief that, in surah Fatihah, we are imploring protection from. The first, displeasure of Allah, is sort of a textbook understanding of what it means to be a disbeliever. In this category, we're actively sinning and calling people to sin, especially major s...See more

Surat Al Fatiha unlocks the keys to understanding the Quran’s main messages. It is known in various hadiths as the ‘Mother of the Quran’, the ‘healer’, the ‘7 oft repeated verses’, the ‘greatest surah in the Quran’ and a ‘light’. It is a form of prayer (supplication) to Allah where we ask and we are answered by His Grace.

There are objectives behind the categorization of groups in the Islamic worldview, starting with this categorization in Surah Al-Faitha. One of these objectives is to build a sound identity, where the believer affiliates with the guided groups and disassociates from the groups that have deviated from the straight path. Another objective is to develop an awareness of reality so that Quranic classifications govern over newly devised classification...See more

Yesterday I had to drive for about an hour. Some of this driving was in my neighborhood, some on a main road, some on the highway where there was a lot of construction, some on the highway where there was no construction and zero traffic, some on the road where there was a lot of traffic, into a neighborhood and onto the driveway that was attached to my destination.

We, as humans, like to find comfort and reassurance in the sense of agency that we possess - the willpower, control, and the freedom that we experience. We like to think that we are the metaphorical 'drivers' in our life.
And indeed, there are many verses that emphasize the role that we play in shaping a community as well as our moral and social lives through our faith, actions, and the decisions that we make.
However, the words in Surah Al-F...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most kind,
I remember during my teenage years, often I would enjoy listening to the recitation of the Qur’an. Surah Al Mulk was one of my favourite suwars to listen to. However, I did not contemplate very deeply though some ayats would make me pause and reflect. I still had not grasped much meaning.

I listened to ‘Guidance is Earned’ by Omar Suleiman in Quran 30 for 30, Season 6, and I reflect.
There was a time I thought guidance was simply given, like a birthright inherited from being raised in a Muslim home, in an environment where the call to prayer was familiar and the words of the Quran had always surrounded me.
I think of the countless times I’ve recited Ihdinas-sirat al-mustaqeem—Guide us to the straight path—without truly feel...See more

🔍 Knowledge (ʿilm) ≠ Guidance (hudā)
At the time of the Prophet ﷺ, the Ahbār (Jewish scholars) and Ruhbān (Christian monks) had knowledge. They studied scripture, taught theology, and led communities.
But many lacked guidance—because their hearts were not submitted to Allah.
They had information, but not illumination.
🧠 Knowledge Can Be Misused
'They changed the words from their places…'

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Entirely Merciful,
I remember there was a time I would recite the Qur’an in order to attain the rewards mentioned in ahadith for example Surah Al Mulk and Surah Al Kahf. Then one day, how I came to the Qur’an changed. Despite having read a few translations my focus was previously on the scientific miracles of the Qur’an and the stories of the prophet (pbuht). Yet, I did not reflect too deeply.
