Allah the Mighty and Majestic says, 'Verily I created My servants Hunafa' (as monotheists), but then the devils came to them and distracted them from their religion.)' Then Allah says,

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
(Then He showed it its Fujur and its Taqwa.) meaning, He showed him to his transgression and his Taqwa. This means that He clarified that for it and He guided it to what has been ordained for him.

Allah, exalted is He, in all his might, does not need to make an oath, but when he does we better pay full attention and heed what follows...

In this short surah, a record number of oaths are made, as Allah swears by 11 signs:
1. The sun 2. it's brightness 3. the moon 4. the day 5. the night 6. the heavens/skies 7. the One Who built it 8. the earth 9. the One Who spread it 10. the soul 11. The one who fashioned it...

Is there a bigger Oath fro...

I was speaking to my mother the other day and she said something that stuck with me. She said life is like this long hallway with a bunch of doors. Every door we open leads us somewhere, but not every place is good for us. She told me to be careful about the ones I choose, especially doors that lead to haram, whether it’s a haram friendship, a haram job, or even just one bad habit.
She said, 'Once you open the door to something haram, it’s rarel...

'By the soul and its molding and inspiration with knowledge of wickedness and righteousness. Successful is the one who keeps it pure and ruined is the one who corrupts it' (91:7-10)

The soul is a precious thing. If you think about it, it’s who we REALLY are. Our bodies are simply vessels for the duration of our time here on earth...and then we, our souls, simply move on.

There’s a lot that can be said about the soul and so much we just don’t kn...

If you observe the principle elements of nature, everything in it seems to have two common qualities.
One is, if controlled and given to us in the perfect measured doses, it is beneficial to us, so much so that life without it is impossible.
And the other is if let go and left wild and untamed they can destroy us violently.

The earth itself, where we live, can destroy us with earthquakes or volcanoes.
The sun, which gives us daylight, energy, ...

What can i say about these infinitely beautiful ayat?
Allah, the most High, the Owner of everything that exists, the Truthful and Wise, Him! He is taking so many oaths!
Look at the One who is making these oaths, and look at the majesty of the things He is taking an oath by!

By the brilliant sun, when it is at its zenith, by the moon as it follows it, with its phases.
By the daytime, as it highlights the sun, and the night time, which completel...

Towards the end of Ramadan, I began to share my thoughts on the description of the muttaqeen at the beginning of Suratul-Baqarah. Allah willing, I wanted to continue on from there and look to the descriptions of disbelief and hypocrisy. Like the description of the muttaqeen, their descriptions can tell us much, except this time about the characteristics we should be wary of within ourselves.

We begin to recite once again, we look to how Allah de...

#LiveByTheAyah

If Allah put the knowledge of distinguishing good and evil in the default system of every nafs, then why He said in the very next ayah that those who cleanses themselves are successful and those who corrupt themselves are gone astray???
The Prophet (pbuh) said, all babies born in fitrah but his or her parents make him or her Christian or Jewish etc…..
That means our surroundings, our experience keep putting layers on our default s...

Washing dishes can feel like a very mundane task. A task most of us have to do every day, multiple times a day.

Reflecting on and reciting this ayat while doing this daily chore may help make the task feel more meaningful, inshaAllah:

'Qad aflaha man zakaha'
'Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul'

Think about the need for us to work to purify our souls/nafs in order to attain success just like the dishes need to be cleansed so ...

This Surah really hits home because it quietly turns the mirror toward me. In a world where it’s so easy to point fingers and blame circumstances, people, or timing for our failures, Surah Ash-Shams softly but firmly reminds me that the real struggle lies within my own soul. Allah has already given me the ability to recognize what’s right and what’s wrong. But when my ego flares up, or I’m triggered by anger or pride, this Surah almost whispers t...See more
