Shaan e Mustafa (ﷺ)

 The high status of Rasool Allah ( ﷺ)  described by Allah himself in the holy Quran. The qaari is from Pakistan, I do not know his name. Kindly leave a comment if you know him. Everytime I listen to this short clip, I get goosebumps and tears. Enjoy yourselves.

Stoning (Rajm) as Punishment in the Ummah of Rahmatallilal Alameen, Rasool Allah (saw)

It is quiet difficult for our human minds to comprehend how stoning by death (Rajm) could be a form of punishment for adultery for this Ummah, when our Nabi (saw) was sent down as a Mercy to the worlds (Rahmatallil Alameen). But if we look into this issue with some thought and logic, things become very easy to understand.  First that the conditions or criteria to be fulfilled for a person to be stoned are very hard to meet- almost impossible. Lets see what the Hanafi fiqh says about this, as it is the largest madhab in Sunni Islam.  Requirements for stoning- The person himself should come forward as a sign of repentance. Does Allah not forgive him if he doesnt go for Rajm? Ofcourse Allah is all merciful and he forgives if we repent with a pure heart. But some people are so obedient and fearful of punishment in hereafter, that they prefer being punished here to make sure that they do not have any change of punishment on the day of judgment.So it is totally upto the person ...

Miracle Child- Quran Appearing On Body

A 9-month old baby boy has left doctors baffled in Russia after phrases from the holy Koran began appearing on his skin. These sayings from the Islamic holy book are said to appear on nine-month-old Ali Yakubov's back, arms, legs and stomach, before fading away and being replaced with new sayings. Ali's parents were left stunned when the word Allah appeared on Ali Yakubov's chin soon after his birth. Since then scores of writings in the Arabic script have appeared almost all over his body. Medics have denied that the marks are from someone writing on the child's skin. The kid's mother, Madina Yakubov, said that she and her husband were not religious until the words started appearing on his skin. Ever since the phenomenon started, the boy has become a focus of Muslim homage in his home province of Dagestan, close to war-ravaged Chechnya in the south of Russia. Local MP Akhmedpasha Amiralaev said: "This boy is a pure sign of God. Allah sent him to Dag...

Authorship clues in Quran

Author's note: When one has been working on a short article like this for as many months as I have, he has earned, perhaps, the right to ask readers to observe a simple principle in responding. May I ask that you read the article in its entirety, including the final paragraph, before emailing me at yusuf.toropov@gmail.com ? At that point I would certainly love to hear from you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authorship clues in the Qur'an Who wrote the Qur'an? The non-Muslim's answer to this important question usually sounds like this: "The Qur'an was authored by a human being; it is not a literal revelation from God. It is a book created by human intelligence, like any other book. It was, as a matter of historical fact, written by Muhammad, in the seventh century A.D." If this is your view, rest assured that you have plenty of company! You should also know, though, that this point of view is no...

Importance of Patience

O you who believe, be steadfast; be supreme in steadfastness... (Surah Al 'Imran, 200) Allah has revealed in a verse, "This is a Book We have sent down to you so that you can bring mankind from the darkness to the light, by the permission of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy" (Surah Ibrahim, 1) , thus drawing attention to the Qur'an's attribute of bringing people from darkness to light. The Qur'an defines patience as one of the paths that lead people from darkness to light and as an attribute of morality that is superior to, wide-ranging, and very different from the daily behavior of many people. True patience is a moral characteristic displayed in the face of difficulty and in every moment of life. Moreover, it requires the demonstration of determination and consistency during times of ease and hardship, and is a lifelong endeavor that never goes astray, even for a moment. Allah gives the most striking examples of patience in the lives...

Mosquito: A miracle of ALLAH SWT's creation

BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM ALLAH is not ashamed to make an example of a mosquito or of an even smaller thing. As for those who believe, they know it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What does ALLAH mean by this example?" He misguides many by it and guides many by it. But He only misguides the deviators. (Qur'an, 2:26) -------------------------------- A person thinking about the systems with which a mosquito is equipped will be a witness to the miracles of creation in this creature and will understand once more the unbounded power of ALLAH PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT The mother mosquito binds the eggs together into a raft shape. This is the best solution for preventing the eggs from sinking. Egg raft and hatching larvae Egg raft and hatching larvae. Eggs of the Anopheles mosquito. The little air sacs around the eggs and structures that increase the surface tension ensure that the eggs stay at the surface of the water. If, for once...

Death, Barzakh and the Afterlife

This paper gives execessive details of punishment in grave.State in barzakh-barrier. 3:169 Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay they live finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord. Living but this living is such that they’ll be raised on judgement day,so Allah subhanawatala is aware he says & to him is clear the defination of all things.This is prior to the judgement day .Sustenance is granted to the martyr. When there is reward after death & before judgement day then their has to be punishment for wrongdoers before judgement day. This is logical . For example-The below verses explains twice deaths & twice lives. 2:28 How can ye reject the faith in Allah? Seeing that ye were without life and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return. 22:66 It is He Who gave you life will cause you to die and will again give you life: truly man is a most ungrateful creature! 40...

Quran and Stress

Stress is the most common aliment of modern age. It has been implicated in the causation of peptic ulcer disease, coronary heart disease, depression, auto immune disease, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer. In milder form it manifests in form of unrest, violence, at work, school and home. Common medical problems like tension headache, insomnia, and obesity are also attributed to unusual stress. None of us are free from stress but some deal with it better than others. Stress results from the following factors: a. Fear of the unknown and trying to see through and control the destiny. b. Losses in our life of people and things dear to us and our inability to recover those losses. c. Inner conflict between our heart and mind between what is known to be the truth and our failure to accept it as truth. Acceptance of truth may require changing our habits and way of life which we may adhere to for some reason like pleasure, joys, taste, pride in race or heritage etc. Let...

Surah Ankaboot-Explaining Fitnah

Life is a Fitnah! (as Understood From Soorah Al-'Ankaboot) Shaykh Saalih ibn 'Abdil-'Azeez Aalish-Shaykh From a recorded lecture [1] translated exclusively for bakkah.net [ In the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful, may His Salaah and Salaam be upon His final Messenger to all mankind, and upon his companions and family members, and all those who follow his path until the Day of Judgement, to proceed: ] The central theme of Soorah Al-'Ankaboot, as some of the scholars have mentioned, is fitnah (trials of faith and tribulations). Fitnah is mentioned right from the very beginning of the soorah where Allaah says [2]: ( Alif - Laam - Meem. Do people then think they will be left alone upon saying, "We believe in Allaah," and they will not be faced with fitnah? And verily we put those who came before them to trials, so that Allaah would make known those who have been truthful, and so that Allaah would make known the liars. ) So fitnah is mentioned specifically in the ...
