Reflections on Surah Al-An'am Ayah 125

6:125
فمن يرد الله ان يهديه يشرح صدره للاسلام ومن يرد ان يضله يجعل صدره ضيقا حرجا كانما يصعد في السماء كذالك يجعل الله الرجس على الذين لا يومنون ١٢٥
فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًۭا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٢٥
فَمَنﱁ

Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam.1 But whoever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. This is how Allah dooms those who disbelieve.

It is by the grace of Allah SWT that I have come to Islam from being raised in Christianity my whole life in the part of the world where Islam is not even common. Alhamdulilah!!!

After experiencing altitude sickness on a recent hike up Rainbow Mountain in Peru (5000m above sea level), I immediately thought about this verse.

So many people in my group fell ill that we had to quickly retreat to lower ground. The thought that some people feel that kind of aversion to Islam as we did to the altitude is a scary thought.

May Allah protect us from engaging in actions that result in us becoming of those He causes to go astray...

I almost shed tears on account of reading this Ayah. It truly convinces me that I am responsible only for myself. No matter how much at a loss I feel when I see that my da'wah actions are not gaining any traction, it is no actual loss for me; it is only a loss for those who failed to receive the treasure I try so hard to share; only I cannot because the treasure is not mine; and it did not come from me, nor can I distribute it. Islam is Allah's t...

Salam walakum,

I was talking to my friend this morning and reflecting on what was my steps into Islam. One major thing I realised which really hit today, was the opening of our hearts. So much so, I went instantly on this website to find an ayat and 'not to my surprise anymore' I found these words by Allah. My open heart led me to this point and continues to lead me on my journey to discovering more about Islam and establishing a more secure re...

While reading through Surah Al An'aam - i came across this ayah which truly grasped my attention. When we think about the miracles of the Quran there are so many popular examples that come to our minds ~ but this ayah truly made me appreciate the comparison and the truth that Allah ﷻ made visible to us - and especially us - the people who live in this era - because we live in a time where technology has developed to such an extent, which will hel...

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

What is one of the greatest blessings of all? It is to recognise Allah and accept Islam as the true religion.

What is the greatest loss? It is to have all the gifts of health, sustenance, wealth, strength and not recognise the Bestower of every blessing.

But what is scary for the believers? It is to be away from Allah. Those who are committing persecution, tyranny, injustice, f...
