That's how many times per day we ask Allah to guide us to the Straight Path, in our five daily prayers.
Now let me ask you a simple question: Based on what you know about Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful... do you think He will hear us beg Him for something seventeen times a day and refuse to grant it?
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 ...Xem tiếp
During the Quran Reflect Zoom discussion in Ramadan, there was a discussion on the verse ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ. One of the questions asked was why there is no harf, such as الي orعلي, after kalimah اهدنا? I am not an Arabic student and only recently started learning Arabic. I don't know the answer to this. However, it piqued my curiosity, prompting me to consider two types of sentences or requests tha...Xem tiếp
what a beautiful connection between two surahs —at the end of Surah Al-Fatiha, we ask Allah for guidance: 'Guide us to the straight path…' And then, at the very beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah answers that prayer by saying: 'This is the Book in which there is no doubt—a guidance for those who are mindful of Allah.' SubhanAllah! He is showing us clearly that the people who are truly guided are those who have the qualities of the righteous (th...Xem tiếp
One of the striking features of Quranic duasis that they are often expressed in the plural form using 'we' and 'us'.
This is not an arbitrary feature of Quranic duas, and we are trained to think in this way right from the outset 'Guide us along the Straight Path'. (1:6) . We are being reminded as individuals to shift from a self -centred mindset to a collective mindset. No doubt each time we make dua in thi...Xem tiếp
It's been almost two years since I started practising Islam, Alhamdulillah. I was taking tafseer class which was 40 min long, those 40 mins turned into 20 mins after speeding up 2x, were so boring for me. I reached at surah Mai'dah, crossed over 200+ vids. But it felt empty, something was needed to be filled. But I never admitted it because I didn't want to feel less close to Quran, I ignored the fact that there are walls between my heart and Qur...Xem tiếp
Subhan Allaah, I recently started journaling and penning down my Reflections over Quranic verses that resonate with me on another level....I shared with some closed audience and realised there are many who were comforted by my words and found solace and resonance with my feelings.... Sharing here for those who enjoy reading... It's soo therapeutic subhan Allaah ♥️
I've been pondering the correlation between the first and last surahs in Al-Qur'an.
In the Qur'an, we all know the first surah is Al-Fatihah. This is an essential surah recited in our daily prayers. There is dua in ayat 6 and 7 in this surah, but I'd like to focus on ayat 6. اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ. When we recite this, we ask Allah to 'guide us to the straight path'.
Now, let's turn to the last surah in Al- Qur'an, Surah An-Nas, wh...Xem tiếp
