Allah created everything for you, so you could see and find Him through the signs, but if you make the world your main focus then you are making it your centre of life, your ilaah.

As comes in Hadith,
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

'Whoever makes the Hereafter his goal, Allah makes his heart rich, and organizes his affairs, and the world comes to him whether it wants to or not. And whoever makes the world his goa...See more

As the ayah states that Allah is the All-knowing, I, thereby, must not overthink and get anxious over small things in life and plans that did not go as my wish, as Allah is the best planner, He does everything for our own good, even though we might not realize it at times.

The connection to biology in Islam fascinates me. I remember studying biology in my undergraduate degree, and at the time I was not muslim and I was heavily questioning my current belief system (Christianity). The way that all life was created for a purpose to help the survival of the ecosystem, and the complexity of the human anatomy and physiology, made me stronger in my belief that there was a God. Alhamdulillah, years later, I became a Muslim...See more

Reflections on 2:29

Allah (swt) created many things to serve the human being, but he created the human being to serve Him. The most amazing part is that He is الغني (The one who has no need, the sublimely rich whose treasures are inexhaustible) whereas we are الفقراء (the ones in utter dependance and need). Therefore, serving Him is optimizing ourselves and benefiting ourselves, because the prophet (saw) taught us that if all of humanity was as ...See more

This ayah truly amazes me. To think that Allah created everything on this earth for us. From the tiniest of insects, the mosquito, to the large grand mountains. All of Allahs creation is perfect and grand and Allah tells us it was all for us. How can we not thank Allah for the variety of fruits, meat, colors, plants, gardens and sights that he places on this Earth just for us? How can we not appreciate the beauty of His Creation? The various seas...See more

These verses spell out God's love for us. He created the earth, the seven heavens, brought forth our father Adam as a dignified human being, gifting him with knowledge, asked the angels to prostrate before him, told him to enjoy all of the blessings in heaven with his spouse except one tree, and when Satan deceived them , Allah taught Adam how to repent - He did not leave him alone or not forgive him.

To God belongs the greater example, just a...See more

When reading this short passage we see the angels , whom Allah speaks to directly and are able to witness the world which is currently unseen to us , were not able to see the wisdom of Adams creation and inheritance of the earth when their assessment, which proved correct , is that his offsprings will cause corruption on earth and spill blood. Allah made it clear there is a greater wisdom in his creation than meets the eye that only the All knowi...See more

One of our reflection prompts this week (Week One of Qur'an in a Year) is 'How do we believe in Allah SWT without seeing Him?'

As a recent revert (March 2022) who was coming from a position of near-atheism, I worried greatly for a while about how it would ever be possible to truly believe in God. But little b...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

I had read a few translations of the Qur’an several times during my teenage years. I was marvelled by the science of the Qur’an. Yet, I didn’t really contemplate about the Prophets peace be upon them all, the Day of Judgment and death. I believe I had not ‘experienced’ much about life and especially I had not suffered much loss during my youth.

Then one day, it was as though th...See more

The fruit that a plant bears depends on the seed that we sow.When allah provides us with seeds,we have to nurture and water it in a good fertile soil so that it produces lot and lot of fruits,flowers and seeds.

Throughout our lives Allah is constantly planting seeds of faith in our life and calling us to also plant seeds of faith in the lives of others, on an ongoing basis.

Remember —a farmer who plants good quality seeds,in a highly fertile so...See more
