I woke up today — Alhamdulillāh — not recalling a single dream. But as the morning settled in, pieces came back to me. And with them… a wave of nostalgia.
It was about my old friends. From back in middle school — the first time I ever truly felt what it meant to have friends.
Back then, I was still homeschooled. In elementary school, I didn’t really feel the need to belong. I wasn’t shy — I talked, I laughed — but I nev...See more
I find this ayah as one of those fundamental ayaat of the Qur’an that you feel you need to read at least once every day so the reality does not fade away from your vision and you stay focussed amidst all the distractions. One thing that particularly caught my attention is the comparison I see between متاع of this world and what Allah swt has in the next. When what Allah swt has is better and longer lasting, then it may mean that a layer of mean...See more
6 years ago · Referencing Ayah 57:20, 28:58-64, 6:8
Again the same promise, Allah will never punish a people unless they've denied the message after being sent a messenger and Allah is most Just! So just in fact, that He gave the more flexible option to the disbelievers. In Surat Al=an'aam, they asked why they weren't sent an angel instead of a human, not realizing that if they had denied the angel, then the punishment would've been immediate. But with the Prophet SAW, they were given time to refl...See more

You look at Musa (AS), and honestly, it feels like watching someone just… fall from one test i...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
(فمتاع الحياة الدنيا وزينتها): فهو شيء شأنه أن يتمتع به، ويتزين به أيامًا قلائل. ويشعر بالقلة لفظ المتاع، وكذا ذكر أَبقى في المقابل. وفي لفظ الدنيا إشارة إلى القلة والخسة. (وما عند الله) في الجنة؛ وهو الثواب، (خير) في نفسه من ذلك؛ لأنه لذة خالصة وبهجة كاملة. (وأبقى) لأنه أبدي، وأين المتناهي من غير المتناهي. (أفلا تعقلون) أي: ألا تتفكرون فلا تفعلون هذا الأمر الواضح، فتستبدلون الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير. الألوسي:10/306. السؤال: أشارت هذه الآية إلى ح...See more
