Signs in Surat At-Tariq

[I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq! And what will convey to you what the Tariq is? It is the Star Piercing [the darkness]! (Surat At-Tariq 86:1-3).

A pulsar star is a highly magnetized neutron star, with a relatively small radius between 10 and 15 km, having somewhat greater mass than the Sun which has a radius of approximately 1 million km.

This type of stars beams out radiation along the magnetic poles. These radiation pulses reach Earth in the same manner as the beam from a lighthouse causes flashes.

Being enormous cosmic flywheels with a tick, they make some of the best clocks mankind knowns. Sounds of pulsar stars transfer to us on Planet Earth in the form of radio-waves. We receive them via radio telescopes scattered throughout the globe.

Astronomers discovered the first pulsar in 1967. So far, they’ve detected over 2,000 pulsars in total. Indeed, they are fascinating members of the cosmic community.

The majority of pulsars rotate on the order of once per second (we call them “slow pulsars”). On the other hand, there are more than 200 pulsars that rotate hundreds of times per second (called “millisecond pulsars”). The fastest millisecond pulsars can rotate more than 700 times per second.

If Prophet Muhammad was the one who wrote the Holy Qur’an as atheists claim, and if he chose that name for the Surah of At-Tariq, and if he was the one who stated in the verse that At-Tariq is a pulsating star, how would he have done that without a radio telescope bearing in mind that humanity’s first ever radio antenna was built in 1932, and that radio waves were first predicted theoretically by humans in 1867. How did Prophet Muhammad know these information in the 7th century AD!

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
