Todavia, Satã os seduziu, fazendo com que saíssem do estado (de felicidade) em que se encontravam. Então dissemos: Descei! Sereis inimigos uns dos outros, e, na terra, tereis residência e gozo transitórios.
Appreciate every encounter you have with people and experiences, for they are opportunities for growth. The Quran speaks in a way that, through Allah's infinite grace, allows us to see guidance from multiple perspectives, meeting both our physical and, more importantly, our spiritual needs.

Al Baqarah : 222 started off our Weekly Quran Dose (Week 3). I admired Ustadz Mohannad's modesty as he shyly commented on the topic at hand. For a lesson to be taught Allah SWT, the most supreme Teacher, spared no feelings.
Allah SWT talks about the most intimate relations to teach us to earn His Love by pursuing purity and also to constantly turn back in repentan...
Between Error and Return Reading Al-Baqara (2:35-36) through the Hadith
There seems to be a quiet way in which mistakes appear. Not always as something dramatic or sudden, but as a small shift — a moment where a boundary is crossed almost without noticing, and only afterwards does it begin to settle in.

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Kind,
I was reading the following ayats today, and it occurred to me that Allah azza wa jal had warned Adam Alahis salaam not to approach the tree or else he will be a wrongdoer. Yet, Satan managed to deceive them. But, I told myself ‘notice how Allah azza wa jal’ inspired Adam Alahis salaam with words seeking sincere repentance.
