wa 'aleikum as-salaam,

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the Ayah in Surah al-Fatihah.

Malik yom ad-Deen

The word Malik is similar to Melek in Hebrew. It seems similar to the words in Hebrew for a king, messenger & angel.

Due to these similarities and what I've read about the original meaning of this ancient word, I believe it means something that dictates. It can dictate rules like an elected political leader, dictate news or prophecy like a stranger encountered on a journey, dictate weather or other phenomena like the angels, which can represent forces of nature.

So when I pray, I think of Allah as the one that tells everything what to do and will put everything in balance, that I should not fear nor that should hate and judge other people's mentalities.

It is difficult. Inshallah I will master the skill of non-judgement and focus more on the decisions I control.

Peace be with you,
Fireheart47

I've been using this one for a while but not sure if I posted it:

Hadith advocates who think whatever prophet said or enacted was revelation and thus worthy of it being recorded later as hadith.


The reply:

No and this is proven from Quran itself.

33:53 tells us explicitly not to wait around for PROPHET'S hadith.
If they were critical for us it would be impossible for God to say this, because it would be akin to turning them away those seeking knowledge.
Exactly what God rebukes prophet for in chapter 80 for shunning a blind man who was possibly seeking the truth.

God contradicts Himself according to them.

Thus if their position is true it creates an internal contradiction and disproves their God and Quran.


Then the final blow is 66:3-5
It reprimands prophets wives for spreading PROPHET'S hadith here.

Thus the sahabah cannot wait around for prophets hadith nor spread them.



Case closed.


Game over?

peace,

One of my favourties:

41:53

We will show them Our signs/aayat in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness over all things?



This is powerful to me because it is basically saying everywhere you look, study, search, from the inner to the outer world, it all points to the truth, as explained in Quran. This means pursuit of knowledge, of nature, science etc it all leads to one realisation. The Quran is not a book afraid of man's intellect. It asks us hundreds of questions, which is quite incredible, it's challenging us, its asking us to reflect, to wonder, and when you look around you realise its ayat/signs are everywhere.

Islamic Duties / The Blessings of Surah Yaseen ...
Last post by Ume Haider - August 20, 2025, 10:39:18 PM
There's a beautiful story narrated about a group of companions who once sat with the Prophet ﷺ and asked about the special chapters of the Qur'an. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned Surah Yaseen and said:

"Indeed, everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur'an is Yaseen. Whoever recites Yaseen, Allah will record for him the reward of reciting the Qur'an ten times."
— (Tirmidhi, 2887)

When I first came across this narration, it struck me deeply. Imagine — one Surah, recited with sincerity, carrying the reward of reciting the entire Qur'an multiple times. That's why so many Muslims turn to Surah Yaseen not only for daily recitation but also in times of hardship, illness, and even at the final moments of life.

Let's talk about some of the well-known benefits together:

1. Ease at the Time of Death

The Prophet ﷺ advised: "Recite Yaseen over your dying ones." (Abu Dawood, 3121).
This shows that Surah Yaseen comforts the soul and makes the journey to the Hereafter easier. Many families recite it near their loved ones in their final moments.

2. Relief from Hardships

Ask anyone who has turned to Surah Yaseen during tough times, and they'll tell you how much peace it brings. Reciting it with sincerity can calm the heart and remind us of Allah's mercy when life feels overwhelming.

3. Immense Rewards

Because it's called the "heart of the Qur'an", reciting it carries multiplied rewards. It's a way to gain closeness to Allah without even realizing how much reward is piling up in your book of deeds.

4. Barakah in Daily Life

Many Muslims have the habit of starting their mornings with Surah Yaseen. They believe it fills the day with blessings, makes tasks easier, and protects from unexpected hardships.

Final Thought

Surah Yaseen isn't just a chapter we recite — it's like a spiritual companion. Whether it's for seeking Allah's forgiveness, finding calm in distress, or helping someone ease into the next life, its blessings are countless.

So the next time you open the Qur'an, maybe begin with Surah Yaseen. Recite it slowly, with Tajweed, and let its words sink into your heart.

As-salāmu ʿalaikum,

The Qur'an is full of guidance, wisdom, and comfort. I'm curious to know from the respected members here:

Which verse gives you the most strength or inspiration in your daily life?
And why does it resonate with you?

Would love to hear your reflections.

Salaam,
A timeless book of guidance cannot be restricted by history in fact it may limit the intended wisdom. The Qur'an needs no support or aide. It unravels itself when Allah's command comes.
Also,a "jihadi" following the Qur'an is not the same as a righteous pious person who follows the book sincerely.
Throughout the Qur'an, we see Allah's examples to mankind about how he relates the truth of past events that are of any concern and relevance since Allah is The All Witnessing and therefore testifies to All Truth.
May Allah guide us all to his Approval and eternal presence.

Last post by shahrukhkhan - July 31, 2025, 12:57:39 AM
Salam all,


I've been reflecting on verses like Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:11 – "Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."

This seems to highlight personal responsibility and self-driven transformation. But I'm curious:
How far does the Qur'an encourage ongoing self-reform, even after one believes?

Is there a Qur'anic basis for the idea that faith requires constant re-evaluation and internal purification?

Appreciate your insights and Qur'anic references if possible.
