Bismillah

Most of us born in a muslim household and also those who reverted to Islam, we tend to forget to mention Islam as our greatest favour and blessing.
It has become so obvious that we don't really see how many other billions of people living currently are in disbelief and how many billions died in disbelief and how many other billions or trillions or more than that who will come later on and die as disbelievers.

I can feel this ayah talks to me directly. Every time i go back and forth on Allah’s way, i see his mercy as he brings me back. Had it not been for his grace, i would’ve certainly been of the losers who disobey Allah, wrong themselves, lose the connection with their souls and live a life of distance from Allah

Ayat 59-73

Ayat 59-73 Allah reminds the Israelites how they were not just ungrateful at the same time extremely disrespectful, and they had the audacity to mock Allah is so many ways, that again in the presence of a Prophet. They ridiculed Allah's orders, tried to humiliate Allah's messenger.

They received the blessings and rejected saying those were not good enough. Yet Allah granted what they wanted through His prophet.

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.
