Exalted is Allah, the True King! Do not rush to recite ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran ˹O Prophet˺ before it is ˹properly˺ conveyed to you,1 and pray, “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”
In this fast-paced life, do we ever find the time to finish everything we want to do?
I smiled to myself as I wrote this.
There is a long list of books waiting to be read. So many in-depth studies of surahs I want to begin. I want to restart my hifz journey once again. On the architecture side, I need to brush up my skills as the profession evolves at the speed of light with AI tools, interfaces, and plugins. I am searching for jobs...

I have a coffee mug from a few years ago that says, 'I may be wrong, but I doubt it.'
Ooooh, how things have changed since then. If I could rewrite it now, it would say, 'I may be wrong, please correct me.'
Alhamdulillah for the ability not only to learn but to be open to mistakes and growth. The moment you assume you know everything, you shut the door to learning. You stop being a student. But when it comes to Islam, we are all lifelong lea...

Assalaam Aleykum Alhamdulillah in 1990 I did Hajj and in December 2024 two months ago Alhamdulillah I went for Umrah When I went for Hajj in 1990 I did not understand the Quran and could not make anything of what was recited besides the very basic things that almost every Muslim knows. With the Grace of Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala In the year 2016 I took online Quranic Arabic course with Bayyinah Institute and 2 year later I moved from Tanzania (my...
(20:114) High above all is God, the King, the Truth. Do not be impatient with the Quran before its communication to you is completed, but say, 'O my Lord, advance me in knowledge.
I realized again that Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH) was a human first, then a messenger. He also has been impatient like we are! Being impatient is a natural tendency of humans. We need to Focus on self-improvement rather than self-criticism. I contemplated in the abov...

In this ayah, we see the importance of thanking and reaching out to Allah (SWT) during hardship, but most importantly the same during times of blessings.
In part of a hadith the Prophet (PBUH) ﷺ says: احفظ الله تجده أمامك تعرف إلى الله في الرخاء، يعرفك في الشدة 'Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize and acknowledge Allah in times of ease and prosperity, and He will remember you in times of adversity.'
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Kind,
I am currently reading and studying ‘Captured Thoughts’ by Imam Ibn al Jawzi RA. I have often wondered why I love reading so much? Why I love reading particularly Islamic books so much?
We all have basic common sense, we don’t need a big thesis to tell us there is a Creator. We can look outside the window and look at the sky turning from bright blue, to almost black. For the clouds to dis...
Allah, the King of Absolute Truth, has blessed us with the best gift, the Qur'an. His words are true. We should not only seek the truth, but live according to it, which takes time.
SUBHANALLAH ... How profoundly Allah revealed that we should not hasten with the Quran....Yet we fail. We humans are always in a hurry.
We are being diverted from the true essence when we hurryup things.
Water is good for us, but we need to be careful not to dr...
In this Ayah our prophet peace be upon him is being commanded by Allah to say, 'my Rabb increase me in knowledge.'
Whenever we want to learn beneficial ilm/ knowledge lots of obstacles surface like no time, responsibilities, job, and other stuff. We should remember that we never have an ideal time to seek ilm. If we are concerned about our other stuff focus on two names of Allah that are mentioned in the beginning of ayah. Al-Malik a...
