As we embark on this holy month of Ramadan, I want to remind you of the importance of not only reading the Quran but also reflecting on its meaning. The Quran is a book of guidance, and by taking the time to understand its message, we can gain a deeper appreciation of its teachings and how they can be applied in our daily lives.

If you are struggling to understand the meaning of the Quran, I encourage you to seek out an English translation of the text. This will enable you to gain a better understanding of the message being conveyed and allow you to reflect on how it applies to your life.

Furthermore, let us all strive to create a community of learners by sharing lessons on the parts of the Quran that we read daily. By doing so, we can support each other in our quest for knowledge and deepen our understanding of this holy text.

May Allah guide us all and bless us with knowledge and understanding of His teachings.

Can we start today on this thread?

Baarakallah feekum.

Very insightful, jazakumullah khayran

THE QUR'AN IS LIGHT.

IT ILLUMINATES THE SOUL.

IT GIVES MEANING TO LIFE.

Yesterday, I came across some interesting verses in Suratul Israi verses 23-38.

The main points covered are:

Worship only God and be kind to your parents.

Do not disrespect your parents even if they are old, and pray for their mercy.

God knows what is in your hearts, so be righteous and charitable.

Give charity to those in need and do not waste your resources.

Those who waste their resources are like the brothers of Satan.

If you seek mercy from God, speak kindly to those who may have wronged you.

Do not be greedy or wasteful, but trust in God's provision.

Do not kill your children out of fear of poverty, as God will provide for them and you

The importance of not speaking about things without proper knowledge or evidence, as it could lead to spreading misinformation and harm. It also reminds us that we will be held accountable for our words and actions, and thus it is essential to exercise caution and responsibility in what we say and do.

*Suratul An-nur verse 31

The verse encourages believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, and to not display their beauty except what appears naturally. It also instructs them to cover themselves with their hijab, and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, fathers, fathers-in-law, sons, sons-in-law, brothers, nephews, female attendants, or those whom their right hands possess, or male servants who have no sexual desires, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women.

The verse is a reminder to Muslim women of the importance of modesty and chastity in their behavior and attire. It encourages them to dress modestly and to cover their bodies and hair in front of people who are not permitted to see their beauty. It also teaches them to be mindful of their actions and to guard their modesty to earn the pleasure of Allah.

Furthermore, the verse also highlights the importance of repentance and returning to Allah for forgiveness. It urges believers to turn towards Allah collectively and seek His mercy and forgiveness so that they may succeed in this life and the Hereafter.

Insights from Surah Al-ʿAnkabūt: 2-6

"Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: 'We believe,' and will not be tested? And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test). Or do those who do evil think that they will escape Us? Evil is that which they judge! Whoever hopes for the meeting with Allah, then Allah's term is surely coming, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. And whoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allah is free of all needs from the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)."

These verses highlight several important lessons.

The first verse emphasizes that people should not think that they will be left alone after professing their faith in God, without being tested or challenged in their faith. The second verse explains that people who came before us were also tested, and only those who were truthful in their faith were known to God, while the liars were exposed.

The third verse questions those who engage in evil deeds, and think that they can outrun or overcome the righteous. The fourth verse reminds us that anyone who hopes to meet God should be patient, because God's timing is perfect and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. The fifth verse explains that anyone who strives to do good and make positive changes in their life does so for their own benefit, and that God is self-sufficient and does not need anything from His creations.

Overall, these verses emphasize the importance of staying steadfast in faith, being patient in the face of trials, and striving to do good and avoid evil deeds. They also remind us that God is aware of everything we do, and that we will ultimately be judged based on our actions.

Beginning verses of Surah Fussilat (41:1-14)

Summary - Allah explains about His book, but the disbelievers reject His Messenger, so Allah tells him to ask them, are they denying(mentioning great actions of His). Then He tells His Messenger again to warn them of a fate similar to the people of old who denied.
Full
Allah said, about His Book:
3. A Book whereof the Verses are explained in detail; A Qur'an in Arabic for people who know.
4. Giving glad tidings, and warning, but most of them turn away, so they listen not.

He Glory be to Him adds:
5. And they say: "Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way)."

So Allah tells His Messenger:
6. Say: "I am only a human being like you. It is inspired in me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), therefore take Straight Path to Him and obedience to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him.

He then gives a description of the mushrikun and the believers, then tells His Rasul to ask them, as He mentions praiseworthy qualities of Himself:
9. Say: "Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days and you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
10. He placed therein (i.e. in the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal (i.e. all these four 'days' were equal in the length of time), for all those who ask (about its creation).
11. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly."
12. Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.

This is something to think about, that is He the One they are denying? And He has done such things, implying His favors, Ability & Supremacy of His creation, but yet they still deny.

So He tell His Messenger:
13. But if they turn away, then say: "I have warned you of a Sa'iqah (a destructive awful cry, torment, hit, a thunderbolt) like the Sa'iqah which overtook 'Ad and Thamud (people)."

Then He mentions about them:
14. When the Messengers came to them, from before them and behind them (saying): "Worship none but Allah" They said: "If our Lord had so willed, He would surely have sent down the angels. So indeed! We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent."

And it continues………………

Came across this verse yesterday and I find it worthy of sharing.

The verse reads:

"مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ"

The English translation is: "Whoever does righteousness - it is for his [own] soul; and whoever does evil [does so] against it. And your Lord is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

#Suratul fusilat vs. 46

*The verse contains several important lessons:*

Personal Responsibility: The verse emphasizes the idea of personal responsibility, stating that whoever does good or evil does so for themselves. This means that individuals are accountable for their own actions and will be judged accordingly.

Self-Improvement: The verse encourages individuals to focus on their own personal development and to strive to do good deeds that benefit their own souls. This reinforces the importance of self-improvement and personal growth.

Consequences of Actions: The verse also highlights the idea that there are consequences for our actions. Good deeds lead to positive outcomes, while evil deeds lead to negative outcomes.

Divine Justice: The verse reminds us that Allah (God) is just and does not treat his servants unfairly. This reinforces the idea that justice will prevail in the end and that everyone will be held accountable for their actions.

Overall, this verse encourages individuals to take personal responsibility for their actions and to strive for self-improvement through good deeds. It also reminds us that our actions have consequences and that justice will ultimately prevail.
