How do I know that my failure is because I am doing something wrong or because it is the will of Allah?
In the 10th-11th years of the prophecy, prophet Mohammad SAAW went through the toughest times of his life. He lost his uncle and his wife. He was isolated for 2-3 years, he got no more protection and no wife to support him and heal his scars. He was at risk and he had to find a place just to at least stay alive in.

Allah describes His book as, 'a Book of perfect consistency and repeated lessons—which causes the skin of those who fear their Lord to tremble.'
Do you ever read a surah and you can sense that another surah is echoed or reflected? For me it is not immediately obvious, but something, maybe a similar phrase or key word will tip me off to a pattern of similarity. It is possible that this similarity is just in my imagination - maybe these threads r...See more

Personal Reflection on Surah Taha
'This Surah held up a mirror I wasn’t ready for.'
There’s something uncomfortable about Surah Taha.
Not because it’s hard to understand
But because it’s hard to face.
I used to read the story of Musa (AS) like a bedtime tale. Familiar, safe.
He stood before Pharaoh. He parted the sea. He made history.
But I never noticed how human he was.
He was afraid.
He hesitated.
He told Allah straight up, 'I can’t do ...See more

The Pharaoh is one of the worst people to ever walk this Earth. A disbeliever with the haughtiness and arrogance to enslave, persecute, torture, and commit genocide of an entire nation. Few of mankind will ever approach his level of corruption. Still, Allah sent guidance to him. On top of that, Prophet Musa and Prophet Harun were instructed to approach him with respect, because even a tyrant with a devastating track record may have a change of he...See more

While speaking about the names of surahs, the connections between a surah's name and its theme, and how frequently the story of Moosaa is mentioned throughout the Qur'an, al-Suyooti mentioned:
[قال بعضهم : كاد القرآن أن يكون كله لموسى وكان أولى سورة أن تسمى به سورة طه أو سورة القصص أو الأعراف ; لبسط قصته في الثلاثة ما لم يبسط في غيرها]
Some have said: Nearly the entire Qur'an is about Moosaa, and the surah that would be most entitled to be name...See more

كانت المهمة صعبة ، فلم تجف أقدام بني اسرائيل من البحر بعد ، وما زالت معجزات نبي الله موسى حاضرة في أذهانهم ، ونعم الله عليهم سابغة اذ أنجاهم من عدوهم ، ولكن السامري كان ذكيا خبيرا بنفسية بني اسرائيل ، يعلم انهم عاشوا قرونا في العبودية والجهل والبعد عن الله فتفهت عقولهم وسهل بذلك استدراجهم. وكانت خطته محكمة:١- اذ انتظر حتى عٓجِل موسي الى ربه ، فهارون ، رغم انه نبي لله ، ليس له مكانة موسى في بني اسرائيل٢- لم يجرؤ ان يقول لهم اتركوا عبادة الله واعبد...See more
