کل میری نظر میرے گھر میں لگے لوحِ قرآنی کے پوسٹر پر پڑی جس میں لکھ ہوا تھا کہ جو شخص انہیں (لوح قرآنی یعنی حروفِ مقطعات) کو دیکھ کر دن کا آغاز کرے اس کا دن اچھا گزرتا ہے۔ شاید کچھ لوگوں کو مجھ سے اختلاف ہو مگر مجھے یہ چیز کلامِ الٰہی کی توہین لگتی ہے۔ یہ کلام مجھے خوش کرنے یا میرا دن اچھا گزروانے کیلئے نہیں اترا یہ کسی کاہن کی کہانت یا شاعر کی شاعری نہیں تھی جو میرے ذوق و ضرورت کے معیار پر پورا اترے۔ یہ کلام علی حکیم، ہے یہ کتاب مبین کتاب عظیم...مزید دیکھیں
Have you ever been in a conversation and someone says, Guess what...........and you are very curious to know. Now imagine same person says, Never Mind lol. You get furious sometimes right ?
Lets be real, we all want to know what is ahead of us, our trials, tests and even the unknown reality of our future. What is amazing is that many scholars tried to decode these letters and come up with many meanings and understandings. One of the biggest le...مزید دیکھیں
When I read these letters at the beginning of some surahs it gives me chills (when I'm paying proper attention). There can be so much clarity and personalization in the Quran, and also so much mystery and wonder. I think we only scratch the surface of how the Quran interacts with our heart and mind, becomes part of the cellular makeup of our brain as we memorize its verses, affects our character and our soul, even these lett...مزید دیکھیں
Alif Lam Mim - If we are to take Surat al-Fatihah as a preabmle to the entire Qur`an, then the Quran begins with Surat al-Baqarah, and Surat al-Baqarah begins with the disjointed letters: Alif Lam Mim. A quick summary of some powerful reflections from this reality:
1. We must first come to the Quran with intellectual humility - there is no one on the face of the earth who can say with certainty what is the true, intended mean...مزید دیکھیں
Some say the letters in the beginning of some surah represent the root words in the Arabic language as some are one letter like و and some are 2 letters like كم and some are 3 letters like فعل and some came be 4 like دحرج . So these are letter forms used in this miracle, use them and bring something like it.
ا ل م What if someone who cannot read nor write uttered random letters of the alphabets like A, L and M or X? Picture this scene 1400 years ago, 7th century Makkah in a society full of poets and lyricists weaving their words like magic. It is pretty difficult for us to imagine such a situation since we live in a time of modernity where being literate is a given.
Allah the Almighty chose 3 alphabets to start a surah that is filled with history an...مزید دیکھیں
For the last two more days here in Uzbekistan, schools are again being shut down due to the pandemic. If you were here some weeks ago, everything was as normal as it was before. Sadly, Ramadan is near and we might not be able to attend the masjids again. Now I realize why the Salaf used to pray asking God 'Oh Allah, allow us to reach Ramadan'. As for 'الم' , they are so precious for me. During the first two weeks of Ramadan, I learnt how t...مزید دیکھیں
This is an orientation that Allah is giving us and pretty much it's a start to let us know that we know nothing and we should always approach the Quran as beggers and slaves and not customers ready to "review" or "critique" the Quran. The Wisdom of the Quran is too immense and these letters should let us know that we don't know much and Allah is the ultimate teacher. These letters are mysterious and nobody has been able to figure out its meaning...مزید دیکھیں
The Quran right from the outset, teaches us to plead to Allah for guidance. Not just guidance. But to be upon the straight path. In the very next surah, (Al Baqarah) we are told that guidance is in ‘this Book’, and to unlock it we must be God-conscious.
The characteristics of ‘muttaqeen’ are those who believe in the unseen, such as the angels, heaven and hell and those who establish prayer and give ...مزید دیکھیں
