My son was getting ready for school this morning and we were discussing time. He asked me, 'How many seconds are in a year?' And I said, 'I don't know, but we can calculate it.' and then I thought of this ayah. How amazing is it that we can calculate the number of seconds in a year to such precision? Subhan Allah.
(PS: The answer is: 31,536,000 seconds in a solar year ☀️⌚🙂)

If you ever sense that the praise of people is changing your heart, ponder over the moon: It has been worshipped as an idol by many, but it continues on its course, day after day, year after year, century after century at the command of its Lord, not deviating by an inch.
Being worshipped didn't change it. Being split in two didn't destroy it. People not acknowledging that it was split in two didn't make a difference. Nothing took it off of its ...See more

Profound Sign from Sun & Moon.
To see sun and moon at the same time is not something new. It happens in the early hours of day when the sun starts rising. The same moon which was ruling the night with its majestic beauty looks fade and feeble,not mesmerizing anymore.
What is the sign in it?
As I begin to think why Allah says there's sign in them.

When we look up at the sky we can't just turn out eyes away from the vast and intricate design of Allah’s creation. The sun rises and sets, the moon goes through phases, and the stars move across the sky, each following a perfect, purposeful path.
An orbit, in simple terms, is a circular path of motion that something follows as it moves around a center, like the Earth around the Sun and the moon around the Earth.

My chemistry teacher, she did her best. Even though I was very good with maths but I never understand chemistry equations. It just never make sense to me, to whom the C, the H and the O wish to form or to split. It’s just confusing to me.
And I thought life was like that as well. I never understood why things happens and why it did not happen either until I put Allah in every equation. Then it kinda makes perfect sense, cause Allah is the balan...See more

We all are aware that how beautiful surah Rahman is. One of my favorite about this Surah is its first 4 ayahs.
Because those 4 things described in 4 ayahs have a 'top' level.
55:1 ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ
'The Most Compassionate'
This name of Allah s.w.t is one of His most favorites. This attribute of Allah is for everyone no matter if they are righteous or evil. This name shows the unconditional love and care of Allah s.w.t.

مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ
He released the two seas, meeting [side by side];
بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ
Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses
