2:28) How can you be ungrateful to Allah Who bestowed life upon you when you were lifeless, then He will cause you to die and will again bring you back to life so that you will be returned to Him. ‏ (2:29) It is He Who created for you all that is on earth and then turned above and fashioned it into seven heavens.34 He knows all things.35 34. It is difficult to explain precisely what is meant by the 'seven heavens'. In all ages man has tried, with the help of observation and speculation, to conceptualize the 'heavens', i.e. that which lies beyond and above the earth. As we well know, the concepts that have thus developed have constantly changed. Hence it would be improper to tie the meaning of these words of the Qur'an to any one of these numerous concepts. What might be broadly inferred from this statement is that either God has divided the universe beyond the earth into seven distinct spheres, or that this earth is located in that part of the universe which consists of seven different spheres. 35. In this sentence attention is drawn to two important facts. First, man is warned against disbelief and rebellion against God, for God knows all that man does and none of his actions are hidden from Him. Second, it is suggested to man that if he turns away from the All-Knowing God, from the One Who is the source of all knowledge, this can only leave him grouping in the darkness of ignorance and error. When there is no source of truth knowledge except God, and when that very light which alone can illuminate man's life can be obtained from none else but Him, what good can come out of deviation from the Truth?

Poetic Trust In Allah Trust in Allah, a path divine and bright, Where faith transcends the worldly strain, A surrender that illuminates the night, And transforms suffering into spiritual gain. Beyond the wealth and worldly prize, Lies deeper truth within the heart, Where consciousness of Allah will rise, And inner peace becomes its art. Not passive waiting, but active grace, Prepare, then trust with all your might, Embrace each challenge, every face, And let divine wisdom guide your light. Like Hagar's courage in the sand, Like Moses' mother's fearless plea, We act with hope, yet understand That ultimate control's not with me. Reflect on attributes most fair, The Wise, the Kind, the Provider's name, Find gratitude in every care, Let trust become your spiritual flame. When challenges arise to test, Remember: Allah is ever near, With tranquil heart and spirit blessed, Transcend the moment, conquer fear. So tie your camel, then let go, And trust the path that Allah has planned, Where inner strength continues to grow, Guided by an all-knowing hand. #TrustAllah #TieYourCamel #poem

Yes, the Quran has verses with a similar message, warning believers to be cautious of false prophets and not to follow those who claim to know the end times. A few relevant verses include: 1. Surah Al-A’raf (7:187): “They ask you [O Muhammad] about the Hour: when will be its arrival? Say, ‘Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lies heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.’ They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, ‘Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know.’” This verse emphasizes that only Allah knows the exact time of the Hour (Judgment Day), and it will come suddenly. No one else has knowledge of it. 2. Surah Luqman (31:34): “Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.” Here, the Quran reminds believers that certain knowledge, such as the Hour, is known only to Allah, indicating that humans cannot predict or control these divine matters. These verses, like Luke 21:8, encourage discernment and warn against following those who claim to know divine secrets or claim a special role regarding the end times.

As I reflect this journey of life, I have grown to acknowledge the fact that faith needs to become our steadfast companion which guides us through every twist and turn. As Muslims, our unwavering faith in Allah SWT sees us through the most challenging of moments, even as we celebrate victories, our faith remains our anchor, grounding us in gratitude and humility. As the week draws to a close, I want us to reflect on these verses from two chapters of the Holy Qur'an; 1. "Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286), which assures us that Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. This profound reminder instills in us the resilience to face adversity with unwavering faith, knowing that every trial is a test of our strength and patience. 2. For indeed, with hardship, will be ease. Indeed, with hardship, will be ease.” Surah Ash-Sharh (94:5-6), This verse serves as a reminder that even in the toughest of times, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it could be a struggle but the need embody our faith cannot be overemphasized, let's take practical steps to strengthen our connection with Allah SWT. Here's a simple life hack to integrate into our daily routines: Allocate a few minutes each day for Dhikr, the remembrance of Allah. Whether through reciting the Holy Qur'an, offering gratitude, or seeking forgiveness, this could go a long way towards rejuvenating the soul and fortifying our faith. May Allah SWT ease our affairs and may our faith continue to illuminate our path, guiding us towards peace, contentment, and closeness to our Creator. Jummat Mubarak!

Reflecting on Quranic Wisdom: Surah 29, Verse 2 Dear brothers and sisters, In Surah 29, Verse 2 of the Quran, Allah poses a thought-provoking question: Do people think they will simply profess belief without being tested? This verse serves as a profound reminder of the trials and tests that accompany faith. Belief in Allah is not merely a declaration; it is a journey of steadfastness, resilience, and perseverance. Just as gold is refined through fire, our faith is tested through trials and challenges. It is during these moments of hardship that our sincerity and devotion to Allah are truly put to the test. Instead of viewing trials as setbacks, let's embrace them as opportunities for growth and spiritual elevation. Let's remember that every trial we face is an opportunity to draw closer to Allah and strengthen our faith. As we navigate life's challenges, let's hold fast to the teachings of the Quran and the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Let's trust in Allah's wisdom and guidance, knowing that He never burdens a soul beyond its capacity to bear. May Surah 29, Verse 2 serve as a source of reflection and inspiration in our journey of faith. May Allah grant us strength and patience to endure trials with grace and humility. Ameen. #QuranicWisdom #Surah29Verse2 #FaithInTrials

Embracing Allah's Mercy and Forgiveness: A Path to Redemption In the realm of faith, Allah's mercy and forgiveness serve as guiding beacons, illuminating the path of believers towards redemption and spiritual growth. As Muslims, we understand that Allah's mercy encompasses all aspects of existence, transcending human comprehension. It is boundless, ever-flowing, and accessible to all who seek it earnestly. Allah's forgiveness, likewise, stands as a testament to His benevolence and compassion. Despite our flaws and transgressions, His forgiveness is a beacon of hope, offering solace to the repentant soul and paving the way for a renewed connection with the Divine. Embracing Allah's mercy and forgiveness entails acknowledging our shortcomings, seeking repentance, and striving to lead a life in alignment with His teachings. It is a journey of self-reflection, humility, and perseverance, wherein each step taken towards righteousness is met with boundless grace and compassion. In a world fraught with trials and tribulations, remembering Allah's mercy and forgiveness offers solace and reassurance. It inspires us to extend the same compassion and forgiveness to others, fostering unity, empathy, and harmony within our communities. May we always be guided by Allah's mercy and forgiveness, finding strength and solace in His boundless love and compassion. Ameen. #AllahsMercy #Forgiveness #Redemption #Faith #Islam #Spirituality

"Allāh has not taken any offspring, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have [sought to] overcome others. Exalted is Allāh above what they describe [concerning Him]." [Al-Mu'minun: 91]: https://lnkd.in/dmiWBXEC One of the titles of the Quran is the Wise. This is because of the way it makes you think and ponder deeply about life, people, choice of words, and ideas. In the verse I've attached, Allah, Exalted is He, refutes the "possibility" that nature has multiple originators of existence. The verse states that if there were other deities present with Allah, then they would have their individual creations. Then, to escape contradiction, they cannot be identical, they must be different in at least 1 attribute. This forces multiple conclusions: Some are better than some: So, the lacking ones cannot be gods, because being a deity demands perfection. deities cannot control the creations of other deities: So, no deity can be perfectly capable, and being a deity demands perfection. All conclusions lead to contradiction. Therefore, God can only be One, all else is His creation. Similarly, the "possible" offspring is refuted by inclusion (i.e. refuting the general existence of multiple deities automatically refutes the existence of an offspring, as it would be considered a deity). Exalted is Allah. (Note: this is an extremely humble summary of the depth of the argument presented in the verse. The linguistic intricacies aren't expressed in this post.) If you did not have a confusing society around you preaching that the occupier is the victim, man is woman, 1 = 3, and other nonsense, you would not need arguments, the Oneness of God as a thought is as innate as breathing, yet more important. It is actually the default such that you are required to present proof for believing in more than 1 originator to all creation. Allah knows best.
