Tafsir Books in Islam | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.Alhamdulillah, in this lesson we continue our journey in understanding Tafsir (interpretation of the Qur'an). Tafsir is essential for Muslims because it helps us understand the divine words of Allah ﷻ in their correct meaning. Scholars throughout history have written great works of Tafsir, and in this article, we will explore the most famous classical books of Tafsir, their methodologies, and why they remain important today.Allah ﷻ says:“Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.”(Qur'an, Surah Al-Isra 17:9 — Quran.com/17/9)Understanding the Qur'an requires correct explanation. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the importance of knowledge:“The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 5027 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:5027)Therefore, the science of Tafsir developed to preserve authentic understanding and protect the Qur'an from misinterpretation.Scholars classified Tafsir into two main categories:Tafsir bil-Ma'thūr (Tafsir by transmission): Based on the Qur'an itself, Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, sayings of the Companions (Sahabah), and the early generations (Tabi‘un).Tafsir bil-Ra'y (Tafsir by opinion): Based on scholarly reasoning. Some of it is accepted when it aligns with authentic knowledge, but it is rejected when it contradicts Qur'an, Sunnah, or established reports.The Prophet ﷺ warned against interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge:“Whoever speaks about the Qur'an without knowledge, let him take his seat in the Fire.”(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2950 — Sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2950)Imam Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d. 310H) wrote one of the earliest and greatest works of Tafsir. His book relied heavily on narrations from the Prophet ﷺ, the Companions, and the Tabi‘un. However, he also included reports from the Isra'iliyyat (Jewish and Christian traditions), which require caution. Despite this, scholars considered his Tafsir among the most authentic classical works.Imam Isma‘il ibn Kathir (d. 774H) authored Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim, which became one of the most widely used Tafsirs. He was very cautious with Isra'iliyyat and critiqued weak narrations. His Tafsir remains a cornerstone of Qur'anic understanding and has been translated into English and many other languages.Rely on authentic sources: Qur'an, Hadith, Sahabah, and early scholars.Be cautious of Isra'iliyyat: Some narrations may be weak or fabricated.Compare methodologies: Al-Tabari included Isra'iliyyat more frequently, while Ibn Kathir critiqued them and warned readers.Tafsir is a noble science that protects the meanings of the Qur'an and preserves the understanding of the early generations. Both Tafsir al-Tabari and Tafsir Ibn Kathir are treasures of Islamic scholarship. As students of knowledge, we must approach them with care, respect, and reliance on authentic chains of transmission.May Allah ﷻ grant us beneficial knowledge and guide us to the truth.

The Rights of the Prophet ﷺ | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy.Alhamdulillah, we continue our journey in Islamic education by discussing the rights of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Loving the Prophet, following him sincerely, and avoiding extremism in his regard are among the greatest obligations of every believer. These rights are rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, guiding us to balance love with correct belief and practice.The Prophet ﷺ holds the highest status a human being can attain—servitude to Allah ﷻ and prophethood. Allah ﷻ says:“Say, [O Muhammad], I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God.”(Qur'an, Surah Al-Kahf 18:110 — Quran.com/18/110)While we must love the Prophet ﷺ more than ourselves, parents, and children, we are forbidden from exaggerating his status by attributing divine qualities to him. The Prophet ﷺ warned:“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a slave. So call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3445 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:3445)Thus, claiming that the Prophet ﷺ was created from light, that he had no human qualities like shade, or that all creation was made for him, contradicts the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah.True love for the Prophet ﷺ means obedience. Allah ﷻ says:“He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah.”(Qur'an, Surah An-Nisa 4:80 — Quran.com/4/80)Innovations such as celebrating the Prophet's birthday (Mawlid) or swearing by his name were never practiced by the early generations. Instead, the Prophet ﷺ commanded:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected."(Sahih al-Bukhari 2697 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:2697)Therefore, the correct way to honor him is to follow his Sunnah inwardly and outwardly, avoiding additions to the religion.Among the Prophet's rights is love for his family and respect for his companions. He ﷺ said:“I remind you by Allah concerning my family.”(Sahih Muslim 2408 — Sunnah.com/muslim:2408)Regarding his companions, he ﷺ warned:“Do not abuse my companions, for if one of you were to spend gold equal to Uhud, it would not equal a handful or even half of what they gave.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3673 — Sunnah.com/bukhari:3673)Loving and defending them is part of loving the Prophet ﷺ.The rights of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ include love, obedience, following his Sunnah, avoiding extremism, respecting his family, and honoring his companions. True love is shown through adherence to revelation, not by exaggeration or innovation.Allah ﷻ says:“Say, [O Muhammad], if you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.”(Qur'an, Surah Aal ‘Imran 3:31 — Quran.com/3/31)Following the Prophet ﷺ sincerely is the path to Allah's mercy, guidance, and Paradise.

Full transcript (AI generated)Alhamdulillah, we praise Allah for allowing us to gather on this beautiful—if a little chilly—morning. Alhamdulillah for this amazing weather.It was lovely to see the president of the Islamic society in red and white today. To our Indonesian brothers and sisters: Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan—Happy Independence Day. Eighty years since independence—may Allah keep your nation in peace and strength.If anyone needs proof that Islam was not spread by the sword, just look at our region. You don't find armies forcing Islam upon the people there. Rather, traders—many from Hadramawt in Yemen—came to the Indonesian archipelago. The Indonesians were impressed by their honesty and akhlaq. The sultans and rulers accepted Islam, and as was common then, when a king accepted a faith, much of his people followed.Some argue, “But what about the Indian subcontinent—Pakistan and India—didn't Islam spread there by northern armies?” Even there, the heart of Islam's spread was da‘wah and reason, not compulsion.Look at Syria and Egypt. Egypt was opened by ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās in the time of ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb. Syria and Damascus were opened by Khālid ibn al-Walīd. Muslims ruled those lands, yet it took 500 years before Syria became majority Muslim, and around 300 years for Egypt. If Islam were spread by force, everyone would have “converted” within decades. History shows otherwise.Consider also the monastery of St Catherine in Sinai. It predates Islam, and they proudly claim to hold a letter from the Prophet ﷺ guaranteeing the safety of Christians in Egypt. Whether or not you accept the document, the point stands: Islam lived alongside other faiths. In greater Bilād al-Shām—what we call the Levant—multiple religions have long flourished.A stable nation is a great blessing from Allah. One of the early scholars said: I make du‘ā' for our rulers, that Allah rectifies their affairs. When asked, “Why not just make du‘ā' for yourself?” he replied, “If I pray for myself, only I benefit. If I pray for the ruler, everyone benefits.” Even if a ruler is flawed, there is no harm in asking Allah to guide them and make them just—because a just leader benefits all.When we talk about nation-states, let's be honest: many borders are colonial lines. What separates Malaysia and Indonesia? We are one people in so many ways. We speak closely related languages. Historically, the region has been called by many names: the Malay world, the archipelago, even Jāwī—so scholars from our lands were known in the Arab world as “al-Jāwī,” whether they were Javanese, Malay, Bugis, Makassarese, or others. The difference between Malaysia and Indonesia today largely traces to the Dutch and the British.So how do we relate to nation-states? Two extremes exist. One says, “There is no nation—only the Ummah—restore the Khilāfah now.” The other says, “I will die for this colonial line.” The truth, as our scholars remind us, is the balanced middle path. We are one Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, and we also live in nation-states. Attempts to tear down states overnight have, in recent history, brought much harm. We live within reality while never forgetting the greater reality: every Muslim we meet is our brother or sister in faith, and that bond is sacred.The Prophet ﷺ himself showed us how to balance love of homeland. He loved Makkah—his birthplace, the land of his ancestors, home of the Ka‘bah built by Ibrāhīm and Ismā‘īl. He left only because it became unsafe—he was forced out. On his way out he turned back and said, “O Makkah, had my people not expelled me, I would never have left you.” But when he migrated to Madīnah, he loved it too, and made du‘ā': “O Allah, make us love Madīnah as we love Makkah, or even more,” and, “O Allah, bless Madīnah twice what You blessed Makkah.”He became part of Madīnah's community—integrating Muhājirīn and Anṣār, building a strong society—while his heart still loved Makkah. That's balance.Many of us here were born elsewhere—Malaysia, Indonesia, Lebanon, and beyond—and migrated to Australia. Love your country of origin; that's natural and from the sunnah of fitrah. But also accept the reality: we live here now by choice. So contribute here. Build here. Strengthen community here. Loving Australia doesn't mean hating your country of origin, and loving your homeland doesn't mean ignoring the reality and responsibilities of this country that has given us so much. Ask: How can I make this country, this society, this community better?I often say: loving the country you live in—serving it—is following the sunnah, because that's what the Prophet ﷺ did in Madīnah. Wherever a Muslim goes, they make the place better. In Malay we say: a good seed grows wherever it lands—even on a mountain. That's the believer: wherever we go, we leave goodness.Today I want to focus on Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt—a chapter I call the community's Standard Operating Procedure. It was revealed in late Madīnan years—around year 9 AH—barely over a year before the Prophet's passing. Year 9 is known as ‘Ām al-Wufūd—the Year of Delegations—with tribes pouring into Madīnah to pledge allegiance: sometimes politically, sometimes religiously.Look at the numbers to feel the context. In Makkah, after 13 years of da‘wah, roughly 80-plus men migrated with the Prophet ﷺ. Within two years in Madīnah, that number grew to around 300. At Uḥud, around 700 fought; by al-Khandaq, 3,000. At the Fath (Conquest) of Makkah in year 8, 10,000. By the Prophet's Ḥajj in year 10, more than 120,000. Exponential growth. What fueled it? One key event was the Treaty of al-Ḥudaybiyyah in year 6: a period of peace. In times of war, growth was modest; in times of peace, da‘wah flourished. Islam spreads best with safety, honesty, and service—not with the sword.Now to al-Ḥujurāt itself—“the Chambers”—named after the simple living quarters of the Prophet ﷺ. Despite becoming the most influential man in Arabia, his home was about 5m x 5m. Think of an IKEA showcase room—that's roughly the size. Before Khaybar, the Sahābah often tied stones to their stomachs from hunger. After Khaybar, prosperity came to the community, but the Prophet's personal lifestyle didn't change. When his household's income increased, he didn't buy a bigger house or a fancier camel. He increased in infaq—in giving. Some of his wives understandably asked for more comfort. Allah revealed that the Prophet's family are held to a higher standard, choosing Allah and the Ākhirah over worldly luxury. (Brothers, don't take this as ammunition against your wives—we are not prophets, and our families are not the Mothers of the Believers. Balance is key. The Prophet also taught that the best charity is what you spend on your family.)The sūrah begins: “O you who believe, do not put yourselves before Allah and His Messenger.” Our feelings and preferences take a back seat when the command of Allah and His Messenger is clear. But clarity matters—this is why the Ummah has tafāsīr and scholarship. In the time of ‘Alī and Mu‘āwiyah, the Khawārij claimed, “Back to Qur'ān and Sunnah!” ‘Alī brought the muṣḥaf and said, “Let the Qur'ān speak.” They said, “It can't.” Exactly—we need scholars; the Qur'ān is interpreted and applied through qualified understanding.Next, adab with the Prophet ﷺ: “Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet…” The context: in the Year of Delegations, Abū Bakr and ‘Umar were assigning officials to receive tribes. Their discussion became loud—near the Prophet ﷺ. Allah revealed the warning that raising voices in his presence could nullify deeds. From then, they barely spoke above a whisper before him. One Companion with a naturally loud voice stopped attending the masjid out of fear. The Prophet ﷺ noticed his absence (as was his habit after ṣalāh) and reassured him.How is this relevant now? When you visit al-Rawḍah in Madīnah, remember your adab—don't push, don't argue. And more broadly: respect the Sunnah and ḥadīth. Don't weaponise ḥadīth to defeat one another. Imām Mālik would bathe, dress well, and apply perfume before narrating ḥadīth—because these are the words of the Prophet ﷺ. His mother told him when he was a child: “Learn your teacher's manners before his knowledge.” Many giants of our tradition were raised by remarkable mothers—may Allah increase the piety of our families.Now, the central ayah for our time—49:6:If a fāsiq brings you news, verify (fatabayyanū), lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful.Another qirā'ah reads fatathabbātū—establish the truth carefully. Both meanings are needed: verify the facts(tathabbūt) and clarify the context (tabayyun). Something can be factually true but contextually misunderstood. This ayah was revealed when a zakat-collector panicked at the stern-looking welcome of a Bedouin tribe, returned to Madīnah, and reported refusal to pay. War was nearly launched—until the matter was checked and clarified. It was simply a misreading of their manner.Brothers and sisters, we live in an age of instant forwarding. “Shared as received” does not absolve us. Better not to share than to spread harm. The Prophet ﷺ said it's enough falsehood for a person to relay everything they hear. We will be accountable for what we circulate.Next, Allah addresses conflict: “If two groups of believers fight, make peace between them.” Note: believers—disagreement and even fights can sadly occur in this world. Our job is to be peacemakers—afshū al-salām—not arsonists who inflame tensions.Then Allah forbids mockery, belittling nicknames, and demeaning jokes. A one-off joke may pass; repeated “teasing” cuts the heart. Joke with people, not at them. Give good nicknames—like the Prophet ﷺ did with Abū Hurayrah, “father of kittens,” because he loved cats.Finally, the universal ayah—49:13:“O mankind, We created you from male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another…”Islam doesn't merely tolerate difference—it celebrates it. Li-ta‘ārafū—so you can truly know one another. Our diversity is a strength, not a weakness.A small story from campus days: we used to hold ifṭār at the Hacker Café. When policy changes demanded payment for bookings, the Malays among us—known for adab and non-confrontation—were ready to accept and move on. Our Arab brothers said, “No, this is our right; let's advocate.” Alhamdulillah, by different strengths working together, we kept the space. Sometimes a firm voice is needed; sometimes a calming voice. We need each other.Even our food is multicultural. Malaysians and Indonesians love sambal, but chilli isn't native to us—it came via Iberian traders after their colonisation of the Americas. They found it too spicy and passed it along; we said, “Bismillah—this is amazing!” Now, a meal without sambal hardly feels complete. That's multiculturalism on a plate.The Anṣār and Muhājirīn had different temperaments. The Prophet ﷺ praised the Anṣārī women for their confidence in asking questions—something Makkan women initially found difficult. Different strengths, one Ummah. Be like the beethat seeks flowers, not the fly that looks for wounds.Even our differences in madhāhib and approaches are strengths. Teaching ‘aqīdah to children benefits from the clarity and simplicity associated with “Salafī” pedagogy; engaging philosophers and other faiths may require the tools preserved in Ash‘arī and Māturīdī kalām. In fiqh, our differences are a mercy. I came from a Shāfi‘ī background where Jumu‘ah requires forty settled men. Early on here, I looked out and counted twenty-eight—then remembered I hadn't checked visa statuses! Alhamdulillah for Ḥanafī fiqh, where a much smaller number suffices. Our differences, handled with adab, make life easier, not harder. The line is only crossed when difference turns to violence or takfīr over minor issues.Thank you for spending your precious, cold winter morning with me. We ask Allah to accept this from us.We make du‘ā' that Allah blesses Indonesia with peace, prosperity, and barakah for her people; that He blesses the entire Ummah; that He blesses Australia and guides its leaders to make wise decisions for the public good—not just for narrow economic interests of some quarter.We ask Allah to protect our brothers and sisters in Palestine, especially Gaza. O Allah, they are hungry—feed them. They are surrounded from every direction—but all directions belong to You. Protect them. Grant the martyrs the highest Jannah. Reunite parents and children separated by rubble, and reunite us with them in Jannah. Do not let our hearts turn away from them when the world turns its back. Use us as means for their aid and liberation. Guide us, employ us in Your service, and accept from us, O Most Merciful.Āmīn. This is a public episode.

Impure Water in Islam: Rulings and PurificationUnderstanding Water Purity According to Quran and SunnahAssalamu Alaikum.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this short blog, we will discuss the rulings of impure water in Islam—what makes water impure, and how to purify it—based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.Alhamdulillah, in Islamic jurisprudence, water purity is a vital subject. Water is essential not only for physical cleanliness but for acts of worship like wudu (ablution) and ghusl (ritual bath). In this blog post, we explore the rulings related to impure water, based on Quran and Hadith, as explained by scholars.1. Why Study Impure Water?We must understand impure water because:It cannot be used to remove ritual impurity (minor or major).It cannot purify filth (najasah).It becomes contagious, making whatever it touches impure.It cannot be used for drinking or cooking.2. What Makes Water Impure?Water becomes impure (najis) if it comes in contact with a physical impurity and any of its three characteristics—color, smell, or taste—change as a result.The Prophet ﷺ said:“Water is pure and nothing makes it impure.” — Sunan Abu Dawood 66 (authentic)https://sunnah.com/abudawud:66For example:If urine, feces, blood, or a dead animal contaminates the water and changes its color, smell, or taste, the water is impure.But if a pure substance like saffron changes the water, the water remains pure.3. How to Purify Impure Water?a) Add More Pure WaterIf enough pure water is added to impure water so that the change in color, taste, or smell disappears, the water becomes pure again.Example from Hadith:A Bedouin urinated in the masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ said:“Pour a bucket of water over it.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 220https://sunnah.com/bukhari:220This teaches us that impurity can be removed by overwhelming it with pure water.b) Wait for Natural PurificationOver time, impurities may disappear naturally due to environmental factors (evaporation, sunlight, etc.). If no impurity remains, the water is pure.c) Filtration and Treatment (Modern Methods)Today, technology like desalination and chemical treatment can remove impurities from sewer water, making it safe and pure again, provided the three characteristics return to normal.4. How to Judge If Water Is Impure?The scholars agree:If any one of the three characteristics is changed by impurity, the water is impure.If none of them change, even if a drop of impurity falls in, the water remains pure—especially when the water body is large like a swimming pool.Allah says:“And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30This verse reminds us of the value and necessity of clean, usable water.5. Practical TipIn dire situations (war, drought, etc.), if you only have slightly suspected water, check for the three characteristics. If there's no visible impurity, the default rule in Islam is that the water is pure.Conclusion:Islamic rulings on water purity are merciful and practical. By observing the three signs (smell, taste, color), and using purification methods, we ensure our worship is valid and our hygiene preserved.May Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.

This one is for the sisters who struggle with what is probably one of the biggest blessings Allah has decreed for women.

Auto-generated transcript: My brothers and sisters, Ramadan is also a beautiful opportunity for us to connect with the Quran.

How do you respond when someone asks, “How are you?” Is it just “I'm Cool”, “I'm fine,” or “I'm managing”—or do you say, “Alhamdulillah” with conviction? This simple phrase, Alhamdulillah, is more than just words.... The post Taraweeh Teachings Day 14- The Power of Alhamdulillah first appeared on Islampodcasts.

Alhamdulillah, tonight is the 13th night of Ramadan. We continue our reflections on Surah Al-An'am, resuming from verse 41.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Allah reminds the Quraysh—and us—that in moments of desperation, we instinctively turn only to Him. Even Abu Jahl, one of the Prophet's greatest enemies, made dua to Allah at the Ka'bah for victory just before the Battle of Badr—ironically asking Allah to grant victory to the righteous, unaware he was sealing his own defeat.Allah then speaks about how previous nations were tested with trials and calamities so they might humble themselves. Difficulties are a sign from Allah, an opportunity to pause, reflect, and correct our paths. When hardship comes, it's either a purification of sins or a means of elevating our ranks spiritually, bringing us closer to the example of the Prophets who faced the greatest trials.However, not everyone responds positively. Some, like Fir'aun, become even more arrogant, their hearts hardened by difficulties instead of humbled by them. Events in life aren't inherently good or bad—it's how we respond that defines them. A hardship can be a blessing if we respond with patience, and a blessing can become harmful if we respond with arrogance or neglect Allah.

Alhamdulillah, tonight is the 12th night of Ramadan, and we continue our study of Surah al-An'am. Before we dive in, yesterday marked an important date—the passing of Sayyidah Khadijah رضي الله عنها, the beloved wife and strongest supporter of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. She passed away around the 11th of Ramadan in the tenth year of prophethood, a few weeks before the passing of Abu Talib, marking a year known as ‘Aam al-Huzn (the Year of Sadness).BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Yesterday, we stopped at verse 38, where Allah addresses the Quraysh's demands for miracles. Allah reminds them—and us—that miracles are all around us: birds flying, animals walking, and the very earth we walk upon. These everyday occurrences should remind us constantly of Allah's greatness and power, embedding Taqwa into our daily lives.Allah then describes those who deny His signs as “deaf, mute, and trapped in darkness.” This isn't literal deafness or blindness—it describes hearts and minds closed off to guidance. Allah can guide or misguide, but His misguidance only comes after people repeatedly choose to reject His signs. Remember, we are blessed with Islam purely through Allah's mercy, not by our own superiority. There should be no arrogance or judgment toward others, especially those in need.Every act of charity is an opportunity—like investing in a divine portfolio with guaranteed returns, infinitely better than worldly gains. Imagine, Allah promises a minimum return of tenfold, and during Ramadan, it can be up to seven hundred times or more! So rather than feeling superior, we should actually be thankful to those we help—they're providing us with opportunities for our Akhirah.We also reflected on the nature of As-Sirat Al-Mustaqim (the Straight Path). Interestingly, linguistically the word “Sirat” implies a wide path, spacious enough to accommodate many who seek Allah sincerely. Within Islam, multiple paths lead to the pleasure of Allah—some people excel in prayer, others in fasting, charity, Qur'an recitation, or even simple acts done sincerely at home. For example, a busy mother's daily struggles taking care of her family in Ramadan can be just as rewarding—or more so—than someone who spends all their time in worship at the mosque, purely based on sincerity.There is no single route to Jannah. The Straight Path is broad and accommodating, with numerous paths within it suited to our individual strengths and inclinations.

Alhamdulillah, we've entered the second third of Ramadan—it's already night 11! May Allah continue to bless our efforts.Tonight, we're continuing with Surah al-An'am, picking up from verse 34. Allah reminds the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that the hardships he faced were not new—they were faced by prophets before him. Whenever he felt burdened, Allah comforted him with stories of previous prophets.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.I remember an inspiring story from my teacher, Habib Kadhim al-Saggaf. Once, he visited a village in Yemen to spread Islam, but instead of welcoming him, the villagers rejected him and physically beat him. Surprisingly, he smiled afterward, saying, “Alhamdulillah, now I have a taste of what the Prophet ﷺ experienced.” If we face challenges in our lives because of our deen, let's smile, knowing we're following the Prophet's path.The Quraysh constantly demanded miracles from the Prophet ﷺ, believing it would make them believe. Allah clearly stated that no additional miracles would be shown—the Quran itself is sufficient proof. Allah beautifully emphasizes this, saying if He wished, He could have forced everyone to believe. But that's not the purpose of human life—we were created with free will, able to choose between good and evil.Angels are created to obey Allah unconditionally; humans have the freedom of choice. And with freedom comes responsibility and accountability. This life is a test—it's meant to have struggles, hardship, and even evil. As Muslims, our worldview helps us understand that suffering and evil exist as part of Allah's wisdom to test our patience, gratitude, and actions.

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This passage from one of my favorite books, Love & Happiness by Yasmin Mogahed,  speaks true to my spiritual transformation over the last 5 years or so, and is the inspiration for this mix. I have been through some dark times in my life and I have had to make some very hard decisions. But I'll tell you what I've learned... Life isn't supposed to be miserable. It isn't supposed to be excruciatingly painful. It isn't supposed to suffocate or drain you. Are there parts of life that will make you feel this way? Yes. Absolutely. But, why? We must ask why. Why do we go through these things? Is it so that we stay still and bear it stoically? Is it to passively endure and call patience? Absolutely not. In fact, we go through misery, pain, and suffocation for the exact opposite reason: To push us towards change. Movement. Growth. Patience is not standing still. Patience is not being passive. Sabr is the endurance necessary to make the change needed to move one step closer to where Allah wants us to be. God created pain, in both the physical and spiritual world, as a wakeup call. As a motivator and accelerator towards action, movement, and change to alleviate the pain. When a person has an infection, they feel fever. When a person's heart is clogged, they experience chest pain, or heart attack. A person can ignore fever or chest pain and call it “patience.” But if this pain is ignored and just numbed long enough, the sickness only increases. Until it actually kills us. Pain is a warning. A smoke alarm for the sleeping soul. If you feel suffocated, it's probably because you're not getting enough oxygen. It works the same spiritually and emotionally as it does physically. Be brave enough to dig deep, to be honest. And then to take the action and change necessary to save your life. But, be careful. Never, ever take this action alone. Seek strength and guidance in God. Only then will you never drown or get lost. Alhamdulillah. Hope you enjoy this episode. Making this mix was a labor of love .
