The Qur'an is a book that describes itself. There is no other book that I have read or know of that describes itself in a manner with which the Qur'an speaks of its own uniqueness and eloquence. What is even more remarkable is that the Qur'an speaks of yet another glorious book in equally magnanimous and beautiful praiseful attributes—the Torah.

Some of these descriptions of the Torah in the Quran are listed here:

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem

Going though these verses and reflecting on how many times the children of Israel had to be reminded of the favours of God upon them struck something in me. Why would we have these written and so detailed in the Qur'an if not to serve as a reminder and warning for us too. I applied this to my life and thought about all the things that God has done for me that I've forgotten,all the times He saved me,all the times He ga...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

in the Quran, Allah said in 183
'O you who believe, siyam is prescribed on you as it was prescribed to those before you so that you may become self-restrained. ' The importance of Siyam in Ramadan is clearly expressed in several sayings of the Prophet(S.A.W.).

✨ سورة البقره ~ آیت نمبر:30

✨' اور ياد کرو جب فرمایا تمہارے رب نے فرشتوں سے میں مقرر کرنے والا ہوں زمین میں ایک نائب/خلیفہ '

- یہاں فرشتوں سے نہ مشورہ کیا جا رہا ہے اور نہ اجازت طلب کی جا رہی ہے بلکہ اللہﷻ کو نہ کسی کی اجازت کی ضرورت ہے اور نہ ہی مشورہ کی، پس وہ جو چاہے کرے۔

یہاں دو چیزیں غور طلب ہیں
1: خلیفہ کسے کہتے ہیں؟
2: انسان ہی کو منصب خلافت کیوں دیا گیا؟ کیا اللہ کو مخلوق کی کمی تھی؟ نہیں، تو پھر؟

- خلیفہ وہ ہوتا ہے جو کسی ملک میں اس...See more
