What Is Life? Man's existence in this world and the creation of this entire universe are not mere accidents or products of a fortuitous nature. This universe, every single atom of it, manifests and leads us to the realization of a Loving, Merciful and All-powerful Creator. Without a Creator, nothing can exist. Every single soul knows that he is existing and that his existence is dependent upon a Creator he knows for sure that he cannot create himself. Therefore it is his duty to know his master, the Creator. Mankind: Man is a unique creature. God establishes man as His representative [...]

In 1925, American astronomer Edwin Hubble, provided observational evidence that all galaxies are moving away from one another, which implies that the universe is expanding. The expansion of the universe is now an established scientific fact. This is what the Qur’an says regarding the nature of the universe: “With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: For it is We Who create the vastness of Space.” [Al-Qur’an, Surah Adh-Dhariyat, The Arabic word musioon is correctly translated as ‘expanding it’, and it refers to the creation of the expanding vastness of the universe.

There are stories of miracle fertilization in the Qur’an. We should not forget about them when we put our trust into Allah and we should be patient. The story of Mariam (alayhas Salam): When the wife of Imran said: "'O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb [my child] to be dedicated to Your services, so accept this [my vow] from me. Verily, All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.' Then when she delivered her she said: 'O my Lord! I have delivered a female child' - and Allah knew better what she delivered - 'And the male is not like the female, [...]

Through a series of taken photos by satellite, specifically the Area where we can see the night overlaps with the day, we have to look attentively at the greatness of this phenomenon and how the Qur'an told us about it. …. For many centuries, people believed that earth is flat with no idea that earth is spherical. But holly Qur'an told us about this cosmic reality when God described this phenomenon by using the word (roll). Because of the continuous move of earth and if the sun is not existed to ensure needed light for the day also without the spherical [...]

Abu Umamah (رضي الله عنه) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, “Read the Qur’an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” [Muslim]. An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (رضي الله عنه) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying,“The Qur’an and its people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Al-`Imran arguing on behalf of those who applied them.” [Muslim]. `Uthman bin `Affan (رضي الله عنه) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The best amongst you is the one who learns [...]

The creed of the Salaf pertaining to the Noble Qur’aan is like their creed with regard to the rest of the Attributes and Names of Allaah, and it is based upon what is proven by the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم). And we all know that Allaah, The One free of all imperfection, The Most High, described the Qur’aan as being His Words, and that it is sent down from Him. So, He, Most Magnificent and Most High, Says: “And if anyone of the Mushriks seeks your protection, then grant him protection so [...]

Literature and poetry have been instruments of human expression and creativity, in all cultures. The world also witnessed an age when literature and poetry occupied pride of position, similar to that now enjoyed by science and technology. Even non-Muslim scholars agree that the Qur’an is Arabic literature par excellence – that it is the best Arabic literature on the face of the earth. The Qur’an challenges mankind to produce the likes of it: “And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your [...]

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon Allah’s Messenger, his household, his companions, and whoever followed his guidance. To proceed, we do advise those concerned and occupied with memorizing the Qur’an to fear Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ‎) and to be dutiful to Him, for He is the one who has guided them towards that goodly and blessed direction, namely memorizing the Book of Allah. This is a tremendous affair as it is the religion of Allah which He sent down as guidance to people. So memorize the Qur’an so proficiently that it is not forgotten, for this [...]

Ibn Taimiyyah (رحمه الله) described a 29 day schedule for completing recitation of the Qur’ān closer to the way the Companions did that. He said: “…Division by complete surahs takes precedence over division by parts [based on letter count].” (412) And from the great advantages of division by complete surahs, he mentioned (414): Reciting speech whose parts are connected, one part with another; Beginning [one’s daily recitation] with that which Allāh began a surah with; Finishing with that which He finished with; Completing what was intended [to be completed] from every surah. The chart in Arabic below [checked but not produced by me], shows [...]

Question: Noble Shaikh, I read a hadeeth in a small book, which states: “Take what you wish from the Qur’aan for whatever you wish (i.e. need).” Is this hadeeth authentic? Please benefit us, may Allaah reward you. Answer: This hadeeth: “Take what you wish from the Qur’aan for whatever you wish (i.e. need)” is a hadeeth that has become famous amongst some tongues. But unfortunately, it is one of those hadeeths that have no basis in the Sunnah. So because of this, it is not permissible to report it or ascribe it to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Furthermore, this vast and comprehensive understanding [...]
