Why do we have stories about struggle and strife in the Quran ? Stories of Prophets' and important figures' pain, loss, and suffering?
We have verses that speak of darkness literally and darkness figuratively when they narrate to us the deep sadness of Prophet Jacob over his separation from Prophet Yusuf, the suffering of Maryam as she gives birth to Prophet Jesus all on her own, scared and lonely, the grief of the mother of Musa as she lets ...مزید دیکھیں
Allah's mercy, which is abounding and unfathomable in every way, has as an effect on all levels of existence - from the micro to the macro, from seen to the unseen, from the balance of the entire cosmos to the social and human affairs.
Allah tells us to see how the effects of His mercy causes the earth to come to life after it has been barren and dead:
Every time I try to imagine what I would do without my mother, it scares me, but the truth is that the mother is just one manifestation of the Mercy of Allah. When the mother dies , the mercy of Allah does not die nor does it decrease. It still exists. You’re still in engulfed in it , you just have to realize it and appreciate it. Be thankful for it.
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was the greatest mercy that Allah sent, when he died...مزید دیکھیں

As my husband was driving we were discussing the state of the ummah comparing it to the ‘Golden Age’ of Islam that had righteous leaders and society generally had fewer trials due to their greater morality and justice.
Then, I contemplated the leadership of our beloved Messenger peace and blessings be upon him. It was a leadership to teach every single person and it was a leader...مزید دیکھیں

O reflectors of the Qur’an, o those who love the Qur’an and o those who contemplate the Qur’an deeply and understand that they have received the rope of Allah!
Recent, events have brought us to remember certain verses, certain passages and certain events from the Holy and Noble Qur’an. Much has changed in the world, but nevertheless the behaviour of mankind is still the same. So...مزید دیکھیں
For nearly a month, the Muslims surrounded the fortress of Banu Qurayzah. Worn out from the Battle of the Trench, hungry, cold, and emotionally exhausted— the betrayal of Banu Qurayzah had cut deep. These were not strangers—they were neighbours. Bound by treaty. Trusted. But they opened the gates to destruction. Had the Confederate forces breached the city, the Muslims would’ve been annihilated from with...مزید دیکھیں
The brother at my college campus reflected on these verses after maghrib salah,
*Paraphrased*
'Allah says something in this ayah which is very severe, that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was created as a mercy for not just us but for the whole universe. For everyone. And the prophet's mercy صلى الله عليه و سلم should be reflected from us now that he's gone.'
One practical advice he gave us was to send as much salawaat (اللهم صلى على محمد)...مزید دیکھیں
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a loving mercy for the entire world -- humans, animals, trees, rivers,...
...the followers of Prophet Muhmmad (peace be upon him) must also play the same role, individually and collectively, wherever they may be. Of course, this implies standing-up against oppression and injustice when appropriate.
We should be like a tree, when people throw stones at us, give them fruits! Our beloved Prophet ﷺ was stoned by the people of tai'f when he went to call them to Islam. The angels came and asked the Prophet ﷺ to give a command and they will crush the people of Ta'if in between the mountains. But Prophet ﷺ refused. It is said الجزاء من جنس العمل. The act or crime of the people of Ta'if was that they had hurt the Prophet ﷺ so much that the only ...مزید دیکھیں

Surat Al Fatiha unlocks the keys to understanding the Quran’s main messages. It is known in various hadiths as the ‘Mother of the Quran’, the ‘healer’, the ‘7 oft repeated verses’, the ‘greatest surah in the Quran’ and a ‘light’. It is a form of prayer (supplication) to Allah where we ask and we are answered by His Grace.
Surat Al-Fatiha establishes our relationship with Allah and outlines the three main components of love, hope, and fear or re...مزید دیکھیں
