Every Night a Death, Every Morning a Resurrection: A Qur’anic Metaphysics of Sleep

-
As Muslims, it is necessary for us to believe that the Qur’an is the eternal, uncreated Speech (kalam) of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ via the angel Jibril/Jibra’il (Gabriel). What we will be looking at here is the Qur’an’s treatment of sleep. Far from presenting sleep merely as a biological necessity, the Qur’an […]

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...

عبد الرحمن طنطاوي · سورة إبراهيم للشيخ خالد الجليل -تلاوة تهز القلوب- في مسجد الملك خالد بأم الحمام بالرياض سورة إبراهيم سورة مكية ماعدا الآيتان 28، 29 فمدنيتان، وهي من المئين وقيل من مثاني، آياتها 52، وترتيبها في المصحف 14، في الجزء الثالث عشر، نزلت بعد سورة نوح، ذُكر فيها قصة النبي إبراهيم، والتفرقة بين الظلمات والنور. موضوع السورة الأساسي كما في مواضيع السور المكية في الغالب يتناول: العقيدة في أصولها الكبيرة، الوحي والرسالة والتوحيد والبعث والحساب والجزاء. تضمنت السورة عدة حقائق رئيسية في العقيدة. ولكن حقيقتين كبيرتين تظللان جوهر السورة كلها وهما الحقيقتان المتناسقتان مع ظل إبراهيم في جوهر السورة: حقيقة وحدة الرسالة والرسل ، ووحدة دعوتهم ووقفتهم أمة واحدة في مواجهة الجاهلية المكذبة بدين الله على اختلاف الأمكنة والأزمان، وحقيقة نعمة الله على البشر وزيادتها بالشكر ومقابلة أكثر الناس لها بالجحود والكفران. وتنقسم السورة إلى مقطعين متماسكي الحلقات: المقطع الأول يتضمن بيان حقيقة الرسالة وحقيقة الرسول . ويصور المعركة بين أمة الرسل وفرقة المكذبين في الدنيا وفي الآخرة . ويعقب عليها بمث...

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 ...
