Islamic Duties / When the Qur’an commands Hajj ...
Last post by shahrukhkhan - May 01, 2026, 11:14:51 PMThe Qur'an makes Hajj obligatory only for those who are able to undertake it.
But in today's context, "ability" can mean different things: financial cost, physical health, safety, visa restrictions, or even responsibilities at home.
How should we understand this condition properly?
Is it just financial and physical ability, or does it include modern-day factors as well?

General Discussions / DEAR LORD....
Last post by relearning - April 30, 2026, 06:22:30 PMDear Lord,
Allow me to finish this letter that seems to have been left incomplete.
How are you? I hope you are fine. If you ask about humanity — of course you already know, you don't need me to tell you, but I want to anyway — well, it has been quite a long time since you last sent a book and a prophet. One thousand four hundred years, to be precise. And in that gap, humanity has made enormous progress. We are more civilized, more modern. Slavery has been abolished — I know that was something you wanted, it is there between the lines, we just needed a few millennia to figure it out.
We have also developed entirely new ways of communication, far more advanced than a single book delivered by a single messenger. The internet age, my Lord! With these new tools, it is now possible — quite literally — to reach every human being you created. Every single one. I thought you should know.
I also suspect it bothers you — and I say this with the greatest respect — that so many people, in every age, have made careers out of interpreting your words. Building fame, authority, and comfortable incomes by declaring this is the correct reading, this is what pleases you. And it must sadden you that your book, though perfectly clear perhaps to the first Arabic villagers you addressed, has since produced countless competing creeds, each fighting the others for your approval, each certain they alone have your ear.
So allow me to humbly offer a solution.
A Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account, my Lord. Think about it. You could personalize your message to anyone you wish — and that is what you want, is it not? You love every creature uniquely. Why burden them all with one book when you could have the pleasure of private messaging each of them, whenever you wish, whenever they need you? This would surely increase the number of people finding their way to heaven, which I know is your preference.
And please, do not worry about hell sitting empty. You, as an all-powerful and endlessly compassionate God, could create a category of beings who genuinely enjoy it. Nothing is impossible for you, my Lord. It seems like a reasonable arrangement.
You happy. We happy. Satan sad. I cannot think of anything better than that.
Yours sincerely,
Your everlasting humble servant.

Yes, I can connect to https://quransmessage.com and all its articles, from Wisconsin, USA.
Thank you for all your work. Your website is a miracle to me and such a beautiful contribution to humanity.
May God bless you for your good deeds.
Are you the admin for https://quranmessage.com or http://allahsquran.com ?
I love that website too, because of its simpler retro form and layout. The image-based text seems like a good protection against subtle changes, which I have found on https://islamicity.org/quran
However, the search function on allahsquran.com produces unexpected results. For example, if I query 'peace' on the search category 'All Chapters' it returns as a black screen. I learned now that if I wait long enough, it will show the results eventually.
May God protect and sustain you.
Peace and blessings be upon you,
Fireheart47

Last post by Wakas - April 23, 2026, 04:47:55 AMpeace fireheart,
I actually added a note to my article recently which elaborates on this specific point:
https://mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-masjid-al-haram-Quran.html
Tbh I think the article potentially points to a big breakthroughs in Quran research.
New note 1/1/26: Many explanations of Chapter 53 of Quran think it is describing a mystic/unique experience, with possible links to chapter 17:1. A tentative translation of 53:10-17 is shown below:
So He revealed to His servant* what He revealed.
The heart did not invent what it saw**.
Do you doubt him in what he saw**?
And certainly he saw it/him other/another descent/lodging/phase.
In the presence of (or near) the ultimate/utmost/farthest boundary/lote-tree***.
In the presence of it (or near it) the garden/paradise (of) abode.
When covered the boundary/lote-tree*** what covers.
Not swerved the sight, nor did it stray.
*"His servant" same wording as 17:1.
**same root used in 17:1 and 17:60. Implies the heart saw, suggesting a different kind of "seeing".
***lote-tree, Asad: "owing to the abundance of its leafy shade... perhaps symbolic of the "shade", i.e. spiritual peace and fulfillment of paradise." Note the use of utmost/farthest, similar to "aqsa" in 17:1.
This is very interesting based on how I have understood the vision alluded to in chapter 17 as discussed above. Essentially a vision of the future was shown to the prophet, that coincides with him completing the mission and the end of his life. Food for thought.

Last post by fireheart47 - April 19, 2026, 09:35:28 AMDear Irfan and Wakas,
Irfan, what you say about how Masjid al-Aqsa refers to somewhere else far away, could be true. I have not observed ب-ل-ت or س-ن-د in reference to oak trees (Quercus spp.), which seem to be native tree to the region near Jerusalem.
Wakas, the possibilities of the م- prefix adjectives is a fascinating topic. Is it related to a place or time? Strangely, my screen went dark when I typed 'time?'. It periodical does that for no apparent reason. Could be a sign or misleading coincidence. God knows. This topic could produce some valuable insight into other parts of the Qur'an.
Why would the furthest mosque be the direction of the original prayer receptor (Arabic: قبله; Transliterated English: Qiblah)?
How can we maintain a degree of social harmony in the pursuit of the truth?
Sincerely,
Fireheart47
