Welcome back to Road to Hajj.This isn't a comprehensive Hajj guide — just a simple, day-by-day overview of what the hujjaj do, with some reflections on its deeper meaning.Today is the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah — Yawm an-Nahr — the Day of Sacrifice. This is the peak of the Hajj journey.To understand this day, we look at the story of Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام, starting from the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, Yawm at-Tarwiyah — the day of pondering. That's when he began to reflect deeply on a troubling dream: that he was slaughtering his son.By the 9th, Yawm ‘Arafah, the meaning became clear to him. He shared the dream with his son, Prophet Ismail عليه السلام, asking what he thought.And Ismail replied:يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ“O my dear father, do as you're commanded. You'll find me, inshaAllah, from among the patient.” [Surah as-Saffat, 37:102]So now we arrive at the 10th — the day they went out to fulfil the dream. But Prophet Ismail asked: let's do this further away from home, in Mina. He didn't want his mother, Hajar, to hear any cries or pain.So they walked together — about five kilometres — from Makkah to Mina.And when the moment came… when Ibrahim was ready to place his son's head on the rock, when both father and son surrendered completely to Allah — Allah called out:قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا“You have fulfilled the vision.” [Surah as-Saffat, 37:105]Allah stopped the sacrifice. He didn't require it. He never did.Because Islam isn't a religion that demands suffering to please God.Prophet Ibrahim lived in a time when it was common across cultures and religions to sacrifice lives to appease the gods. Blood offerings were the norm. But this — this was something different.Allah was teaching a lesson — not just to Ibrahim, but to all of humanity.He doesn't want your pain. He wants your heart.Even though Ibrahim was willing to go through with it — and Ismail was ready to be sacrificed — Allah intervened. He replaced the son with a ram.And Allah says in the Qur'an:لَن يَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ“It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but what reaches Him is your taqwa.” [Surah al-Hajj, 22:37]That's what Allah wants — your sincerity, your consciousness of Him. Not the meat. Not the blood. Not the spectacle.So what does this teach us?Islam isn't about suffering. It's not a religion that glorifies pain. It doesn't ask you to harm yourself to prove your devotion. It's not a masochistic faith.Yes, life includes hardship. Yes, we're tested — sometimes with ease, sometimes with pain. But it's not the pain that earns us reward. It's how we respond.Are we grateful in times of ease? Are we patient in times of trial?And more importantly — do we strive to improve our condition?Islam doesn't teach us to glorify suffering. It teaches us to alleviate it — in ourselves, and in others.If you're tested with wealth, you're expected to use it to help those in need.If you're tested with poverty, you're encouraged to work, strive, and lift yourself and your community.And that's why many acts of worship in Islam are built around economic responsibility.Take zakat — you can only give it if you've saved and earned beyond a certain threshold.Or Hajj — it's only fard on those who are financially and physically able, and who can leave enough behind for their families.Islam encourages productivity. It sees wealth as a tool for good — not something to be ashamed of.As the Prophet ﷺ said to ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās:نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الصَّالِحُ لِلرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ“How excellent is good wealth in the hands of a righteous man.” [Musnad Ahmad]So today, as we remember the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail, we reflect not just on obedience — but on the mercy of Allah.Even when both father and son were ready for the ultimate sacrifice, Allah said: That's enough. I wanted your heart, not your hurt.Imagine that moment. For a father, it's easier to suffer himself than to see his child in pain. For a child, especially one so young, nothing matters more than his own life — yet Ismail was willing to give it up for Allah.That's the essence of devotion.But Allah said no. He honoured them, preserved their story, and replaced the act with one that the ummah continues today — the udḥiyah.So when we celebrate Eid al-Adha, we're not just barbecuing meat. We're remembering a powerful lesson: that true devotion lies in taqwa, not torment.That is Yawm an-Nahr — the Day of Sacrifice.May Allah accept our qurban, our efforts, and our devotion.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Welcome back to Road to Hajj — a simplified walk-through of what the hujjaj do each day of the Hajj journey.Now is Maghrib of the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.In the day, the hujjaj spent the most important day of the year — the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — at ‘Arafah. From Dhuhr to Maghrib, they stood in du‘a during wuqūf, the core act of Hajj. It's the day when most du‘as are answered and the most people are forgiven in the whole year.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.From Dhuhr to ‘Asr, many hujjaj make du‘a in their tents, and then as the sun softens, they come out and continue under the open sky. As Maghrib arrives, the emotional energy intensifies — the tears, the hands raised, the hearts laid bare.After sunset, they begin making their way to Muzdalifah. This journey — part of the wājib acts of Hajj — is done slowly and calmly. The Prophet ﷺ walked this path, holding the reins of his camel, al-Qaswa, making sure it moved gently.When they reach Muzdalifah, there's no specific ritual beyond remembrance — dhikr, istighfār. Allah says in the Qur'an:ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ“Then depart from where the people depart and ask Allah for forgiveness…” [Al-Baqarah 2:199]So the hujjaj arrive, pray Maghrib and ‘Isha combined and shortened (Jam‘ wa Qaṣr), and then they rest. Not in tents or hotels — just on the bare earth, under the stars.It's what I call a five billion star experience.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Sleeping under the sky in Muzdalifah is powerful. You look up and see constellations with no city lights to drown them out. It's humbling. It strips you of your comforts, your titles, your privilege. Everyone sleeps on the same ground. No one steps aside for you. If someone needs to walk past, they walk over you. It's raw. It's real. It's levelling.And it reminds you of Yawm al-Qiyāmah. When we rise from our graves, there will be no resumes, no status, no CVs — just us and our deeds.But there's something deeper about these stars. Allah swears by them in Surah al-Wāqi‘ah:فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ، إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ“But nay, I swear by the setting of the stars — and indeed, it is a great oath if you only knew — that this is indeed a noble Qur'an.” [Al-Waqi‘ah 56:75–77]Why does Allah link the stars to the Qur'an?Think about it. If you don't know anything about stars, they're just beautiful lights in the sky — awe-inspiring, but directionless. But if you study them, they become a map. The Southern Cross, Orion's Belt — suddenly, you know which way is north, south, east, west.Similarly, the Qur'an. If you just listen, it's beautiful — the rhythm, the words, the recitation. But if you dig deeper, if you study it, reflect on it, it becomes a guide.At first glance, it might feel like a beautiful mess — one moment you're reading about the muttaqīn, the next about the disbelievers, then suddenly it jumps to stories of Prophet Adam, Bani Isra'il, then to Ibrahim.It's not structured like a typical book. But when you peel back the layers, you start seeing the divine cohesion. The structure. The flow. And how each story, each verse, is placed exactly where it needs to be.So the stars and the Qur'an — both are majestic, both guide. But only if we take the time to look deeper.Muzdalifah is that reminder.It tells us: slow down. Strip away the noise. Reconnect with the basics. Sleep under the stars. Reflect. Ask yourself: Who am I without all the labels? What matters when I'm lying on this ground beneath the sky?That's the essence of Hajj — a return to humility. To truth. To submission.So that's Muzdalifah — not glamorous, but glorious.We'll rest here until Fajr. After that, we'll make our way to Mina for the next major part of Hajj — the Jamrah.InshaAllah, we'll talk about that tomorrow.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to Be Qur'anic!It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for Tajweed Tuesday, where we break down the recitation and pronunciation rules from the Ayat of the Week.This is Week 2 of Term 2, and we're continuing with Surah al-Wāqiʿah, focusing on verses 10 to 26. Don't worry — although that's 16 ayat, the verses are short and rhythmically structured, which makes them ideal for learning Tajweed.Let's begin with Isti‘ādhah:أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيمThis is not part of the Qur'an but an instruction from Allah — “When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Shayṭān.” So make sure we recite it with presence and proper tajweed, not rushed.Key Tajweed Highlights1. Al-Madd (Elongation)We notice several types of madd in these verses:* Madd Aṣlī (natural elongation): e.g., Was-sābiqūna — stretch it for two counts.* Madd Muttasil : Look for wavy signs — these must be stretched to 4 counts.2. Gunnah (Nasalisation)Whenever you see nun mushaddadah or meem mushaddadah, like in:* Muqarrabūn or Waḥūrun ‘īnThere's wājib al-ghunnah — nasal sound for two counts.Pinch your nose slightly — you should feel it vibrate.3. Idghām (Merging)For tanwīn or nūn sākinah followed by letters of Yarmalūn, you'll often get:* Idghām bighunnah (merging with nasalisation), e.g. ‘alā sururin mawḍūnah* If it's followed by a non-Yarmalūn letter like sīn, we get ikhfā' (partial hiding), as in qīlan salāman.4. Ikhfā' (Partial nasal concealment)Found when nūn sākinah or tanwīn is followed by certain letters (like zāy, sīn, ṭā).Example:* Yanzifūn — here, nūn is hidden and flows into the sound of zāy with ghunnah.5. Qalqalah (Bounce or echo)Letters like qāf, ṭā, bā, jīm, dāl when sākina produce a light bounce.E.g., lā yuqaddarūn — give the qāf a light bounce.Important Letter-Specific Reminders* Raw (ر) should be heavy (tafkhīm) when it has a fatḥah or ḍammah, and light (tarqīq) when it has a kasrah.* Ṣād (ص) is a heavy letter. Don't round your lips. The heaviness comes from lifting the back of your tongue, not your lips.* Ḍād (ض) — sides of the tongue should press against upper molars. Avoid turning it into a “dal”.* ‘Ayn (ع) — constrict the middle of your throat, not the top or bottom.* Hamzah (ء) — is a glottal stop, don't stretch or squeeze it.Common Symbols* A small circle above a letter means don't pronounce it — it's a silent or dropped letter.* A wavy line (tilde shape) means long madd — usually 4 to 6 counts.* A small alif means elongation for 2 counts — usually madd aṣlī.Practice AdviceDon't rush through all 16 ayat at once. If you're just starting, take it one ayah at a time:* Smooth out each word.* Pay attention to the makhraj (point of articulation).* Use a mirror or record yourself to check your pronunciation.* Once you're confident, try reciting the entire section with correct tajweed.For example, start with:Was-sābiqūna as-sābiqūn. Ulā'ikal muqarrabūn…— repeat until you're flowing smoothly with the right pace and rules.That's it for Tajweed Tuesday!Keep practising the ayat, and take note of these Tajweed points as you recite.See you on Thursday, inshaAllah, for Tafsir Thursday, where we'll explore the meanings behind these powerful verses from Surah al-Wāqiʿah.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to Be Qur'anic.Today we're continuing with our Ayat of the Week for Term 2 of 2025, where we're diving into the powerful and reflective verses of Surah al-Wāqiʿah.This week, we'll be reciting from ayah 10 to ayah 26. That might sound like a lot—16 ayat—but don't worry. Surah al-Wāqiʿah is known for its short, rhythmic verses, which makes it easy to recite and reflect upon.Let's begin, as always, with istiʿādhah — seeking protection from Shayṭān — and then proceed to the recitation.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome back to Be Qur'anic. Today is Tuesday, and that means it's Tajweed Tuesday.Every Tuesday during the term, we'll break down the tajwīd rules found in the Ayat of the Week. For Term 2, we're exploring Surah al-Wāqi‘ah. This week, we're focusing on verses 1 to 9.Let's begin.1.Isti‘ādhah and BasmalahA‘ūdhu billāhi min ash-shayṭānir-rajīmDon't rush through isti‘ādhah. This is a direct command from Allah: “When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah.”Say it with presence, intention, and correct articulation.Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-RaḥīmMany rush through the basmalah, but according to some scholars — like Imam al-Shāfi‘i — it is part of the Qur'an. Recite it properly, honouring each rule.2.Verse 1 – إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ* Iẓā – contains a mad aṣlī (natural elongation), read it with 2 harakāt.* Waqa‘ati-l-Wāqi‘ah – notice the bouncing of the letter qāf and the correct emphasis on ‘Ayn. Maintain equal length in iẓā and wāqi‘ah.3.Verse 2 – لَيْسَ لِوَقَعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ* Laysa li-waqa‘atihā – contains a mad aṣlī.* Qaf is a bouncing letter, qalqalah.* Kādhibah – the letter dhāl should have the tip of your tongue touch the edges of your front teeth, not the flat part. Don't confuse it with zāl (ز).4.Verse 3 – خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ* The tanwīn at the end of khāfiḍah meets the letter rā – and rā is part of Yarmalūn. This is idghām bilā ghunnah – a full merge without nasal sound.* Read it: khāfiḍatur rāfi‘ah, not khāfiḍatun rāfi‘ah.5.Verse 4 – إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا* Iẓā – again, mad aṣlī.* Rujjatil-arḍu – the ḍād with ḍammah causes the lips to round forward, not because of the letter itself, but due to the vowel.* Rajja – ends with tanwīn followed by shaddah. This is a mad ‘iwāḍ — elongate it two harakāt when stopping.6.Verse 5 – وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا* Bussat – pay attention to the shaddah on the sīn. Pronounce both sīn with clarity.* Jibāl – elongate the alif for 2 harakāt.* Bassā – another mad ‘iwāḍ, elongate 2 harakāt when stopping.7.Verse 6 – فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُنْبَثًّا* Kānat – the tā is an aspirated letter, release a slight puff of air without turning it into a sīn.* Habā'an – look out for the mad followed by tanwīn.* Habā'am munbaththā – this is idghām bi-ghunnah: the tanwīn is merged with mīm, resulting in a nasal sound (ghunnah) and read with 2 harakāt.* Munbaththā – the thā should be light and pronounced with the tip of the tongue just between the teeth.8.Verse 7 – وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً* Kuntum – here, the nūn sākinah meets tā. Tā is not part of Yarmalūn, so this is ikhfā', a partial merge with nasalisation. Shape your mouth for tā but pronounce the ghunnah clearly.* Azwājan thalāthah – another ikhfā'. The tanwīn at the end of azwājan meets thā, a non-Yarmalūn letter.9.Verse 8–9 – فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ* Fa-aṣḥābu-l-maymanah – the ṣād is not a lip letter. Don't purse your lips when reading it. The thickness comes from the back of the tongue rising.* Elongate the ā in aṣḥābu as it is part of the mad aṣlī.* Be careful not to elongate unnecessarily when stopping. If there's no mad letter, just stop naturally.Final TipNot all stops require elongation. Only stop with mad if there's a mad letter (like alif, wāw, or yā' with sukun and matching vowel before it). Otherwise, keep your stop natural and clean.That wraps up this week's Tajweed Tuesday on verses 1–9 of Surah al-Wāqi‘ah. Keep practising your recitation with attention to these tajwīd rules.InshaAllah, I'll see you on Thursday for Tafsir Thursday as we unpack the meanings and reflections from these verses.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Bienvenue sur Crois comme une femme ! Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui, on a choisi d'aborder un sujet complexe mais fondamental : ce que dit réellement l'Islam sur les violences conjugales, en particulier les violences physiques et sexuelles. Ce thème, souvent mal compris et source de drames familiaux, mérite d'être exploré avec nuance et profondeur.Les violences conjugales sont définies par la loi en France comme des violences commises au sein du couple par un ancien conjoint / partenaire de PACS ou concubin. Elles peuvent être physiques, sexuelles, psychologiques ou économiques. Elles diffèrent de simples disputes de couple où deux points de vue s'opposent dans un rapport d'égalité parce que, dans ces violences, il y'a un rapport de domination et de prise de pouvoir de l'auteur sur la victime. Il faut savoir que ces violences sont plus sévèrement punies par la loi lorsqu'elles sont commises sur un partenaire, mais aussi lorsqu'un mineur (donc un de vos enfants) assiste aux faits. Quelle que soit la forme que prennent ces violences, il faut savoir qu'elles ont des conséquences  importantes, nombreuses et durables sur les femmes victimes. Elles sont un fléau mondial qui touche des personnes de tous modes de vie, quels que soient leur statut socio-économique, leur origine ethnique, leur âge ou leur religion. Selon la Fondation des Femmes, en France, près de 1 femme sur 10 déclare avoir été victime de violences conjugales au cours de sa vie. Bien que ces chiffres soient alarmants, il est important de noter que certains stéréotypes culturels et pressions communautaires peuvent exacerber la vulnérabilité des femmes musulmanes, rendant difficile la dénonciation de ces abus. Ces obstacles incluent la stigmatisation sociale, le manque de soutien dans les espaces spirituels, et une interprétation erronée des textes religieux.Dans cet épisode, nous allons creuser les textes concernant ce sujet et les pratiques et interrogations qui en découlent, nous concentrant particulièrement sur les violences physiques et sexuelles. Nous aborderons les violences psychologiques et économiques dans un prochain épisode inshaAllah. Plonge avec nous dans nos réflexions et le résultat de nos recherches, bonne écoute ! SOURCES Retrouve toutes les sources citées dans l'épisode sur : http://tiny.cc/picj001 TÉMOIGNER POUR LE PROCHAIN ÉPISODESi tu souhaites témoigner pour le prochain épisode sur les violences économiques et psychologiques, tu peux nous envoyer un audio racontant ton vécu / ressenti / interrogation sur notre compte instagram ou à travers ce lien (aussi dans la bio Insta) : https://www.speakpipe.com/CroisCommeUneFemme_LePodcast N'oublie pas de nous suivre sur Instagram (@croiscommeunefemme) et de nous laisser des étoiles sur ton appli de podcast préférée !

Reflecting on our Tafseer of Surah Al-An'amAlhamdulillah, it's great to be back together after Eid. Eid Mubarak to everyone—I hope your Eid is joyful and filled with blessings. May Allah accept all our deeds from Ramadan and grant us the opportunity to experience an even more meaningful Ramadan next year.Tonight, we continue our tafseer of Surah Al-An'am, picking up from Ayah 90, where we paused before Eid. Our aim now is to complete the remaining eleven pages, covering roughly a page each week. Once we finish this surah, I plan to go back and complete the last four surahs from Juz 'Amma, after which we'll pick a new topic or maybe start studying a classical text together, inshaAllah.As usual, we start our session with a beautiful recitation of Ratib Al-Haddad, reconnecting spiritually and setting a tranquil mood for our discussion.Today, we look at the prophets mentioned in Surah Al-An'am—Ibrahim, Dawud, Sulaiman, Ayyub, Yusuf, Musa, and Harun—and see how Allah uses their stories to comfort Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during his own times of difficulty. Each prophet faces unique challenges: Dawud and Sulaiman experience tests of gratitude (shukr), while prophets like Ayyub, Yusuf, and Musa endure tests of patience (sabr).The story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) especially resonates deeply because it closely parallels the struggles faced by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Both prophets experience rejection from their closest family members yet achieve eventual success through patience and reliance upon Allah.We also discuss the special role of Sayyidina Ali, highlighting how Ali supports Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from the earliest days. It's important to have balanced love: loving Ali deeply doesn't require us to dislike Abu Bakr or Umar. In fact, Ali himself names his children after these companions, reflecting their strong bond of brotherhood and mutual respect.Allah instructs us explicitly in this surah to follow the guidance and examples of these prophets and companions. Their lives serve as practical guides that help us navigate our own challenges.Tonight, we also discuss the unique authenticity and preservation of the Qur'an. Unlike previous scriptures, which undergo alterations and corruption, the Qur'an remains meticulously preserved through memorisation and oral transmission. I often share this remarkable aspect of the Qur'an during interfaith dialogues at the university, surprising many who learn how deeply Muslims engage with their scripture—even memorising it without necessarily understanding its language fully.Finally, we emphasise a crucial point: true belief in the Hereafter (Akhirah) directly leads us to safeguarding our prayers. Prayer is a key indicator of our faith and our belief in the life to come. Now, as Ramadan has ended, let's strive to maintain our dedication to prayers, proving our sincere belief in the Akhirah.May Allah enable us to internalise these reflections, strengthen our connection to the Qur'an, and bless our ongoing journey. See you all next week, inshaAllah! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit bequranic.substack.com/subscribe

Eid Khutbah ReflectionsAlhamdulillah, today was Eid, and it was truly beautiful to see everyone gathered to celebrate after a month of Ramadan. I began with the traditional Takbīr, praising Allah, and sending peace upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.One important thing I really wanted everyone to remember today is that Islam is a religion of balance. Ramadan was a month of hard work, sacrifice, late-night prayers, and giving up things we enjoy—all for Allah's sake. But today, Eid, is a day Allah Himself has given us to celebrate and enjoy, as a reward for all our effort.I also reminded everyone about the blessings we got from Ramadan. Those hadiths really stood out to me:• “Whoever fasts Ramadan with sincere faith, hoping for reward from Allah, all their past sins will be forgiven.”• “Whoever prays at night in Ramadan with sincere faith, hoping for reward, their past sins will also be forgiven.”Reflecting on these hadiths made me realise again just how much mercy Allah shows us, giving us chances to start fresh every year.I also urged everyone, including myself, not to leave behind what we learned and practised in Ramadan. We all picked up new habits—whether it's extra prayers, reading more Qur'an, or giving charity. If we just choose even one of these good deeds and hold onto it throughout the year, imagine how much better our lives would be when the next Ramadan arrives.Something that deeply touched my heart today was reminding everyone about the real success that comes in the next life. I quoted the verses from Surah al-Hāqqah about those who will joyfully receive their book of deeds in their right hands on the Day of Judgement. May Allah make us all among them.I also made sure we took a moment to thank everyone who helped during Ramadan. Volunteers, those who cooked and provided food, and people who organised activities—they were truly amazing. We asked Allah to reward everyone abundantly, repeating the dua: “Allahumma at'im man at'amana” (“O Allah, feed those who fed us”).Finally, it was important to me today that we don't forget our brothers and sisters around the world, especially in Palestine, who are struggling. We asked Allah sincerely to grant them victory, relieve their suffering, provide them with sustenance, healing, patience, and strength.Eid is definitely a day of joy and celebration, but also reflection and gratitude. Let's remember this beautiful balance and carry the spirit of Ramadan forward throughout the year, InshaAllah.May Allah accept from all of us and bless our community always. Eid Mubarak!

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic.Today is Tuesday, the 25th of Ramadan.As always on Tuesdays, we've got Tajweed Tuesday, where we break down the Tajweed rules in the Ayat of the Week.This week, we are covering ayahs 56 to 61 of Surah Al-Rahman.Usually, we begin with the theory, and then apply it to the ayat.But this week, I want to do things a little differently.Since we've now completed the rules of Nun Sakin and Tanwin — which is one of the largest areas of Tajweed (aside from mudūd, or elongation) — I thought we could go straight into the application.We'll read the ayat, and then revisit and deep dive into the rules of Ikhfā', particularly focusing on examples we didn't fully cover last week.There are subtle but important differences between types of Ikhfā' — and these details help us beautify our recitation even more.So, get your mushaf out.Let's open up and read together — Surah Al-Rahman, ayat 56 to 61:

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic.Today is Monday, the 24th of Ramadan.That means tonight will be the eve of the 25th of Ramadan.And Rasulullah ﷺ said in a very well-known hadith:“Search for Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights, on the odd nights.”So tonight is one of the last ten odd nights – it could be Laylatul Qadr.InshaAllah, let's make the most of this night.

No worldly wealth guaranteed from following him.2. Limited knowledge of the unseen (Ghayb).3. Human nature, not angelic, making him relatable as a role model.Levels of Ghayb (Unseen Knowledge):• Ghayb Nisbi (relative unseen): known to some, not to others (e.g., something behind a person's back).• Ghayb revealed to the Prophet ﷺ: through revelation or special events (Isra' wal Mi'raj).• Ultimate Ghayb: known exclusively by Allah.Significance:• Prophet ﷺ never spoke about the unseen without divine guidance, demonstrated by his silence when awaiting revelation (e.g., Surah Al-Kahf incident).Prophetic Lesson on Saying “InshaAllah”:• Prophet ﷺ taught to always use “InshaAllah” sincerely when referring to future plans. It should not be misused as a subtle refusal or insincere promise.

InshaAllah, we continue our study of Surah Al-An'am.Recap of Previous AyahsYesterday, we explored the two main objections raised by the Quraysh against the Prophet ﷺ:1️⃣ Demand for a physical miracle – They insisted on seeing a written scripture (Qirtas) instead of just hearing the Qur'an.2️⃣ False claim that the Prophet ﷺ said he was an angel – A deliberate misrepresentation to discredit him.Even if Allah granted their demands, they would still reject the message, calling it “clear magic” (سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ).BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, and welcome to BeQuranic.Alhamdulillah, we are now in the greatest month of the year—the blessed month of Ramadan.Ramadan: The Month of the Qur'anAllah tells us in the Qur'an:شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنِ“The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was revealed…” (2:185)

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhAlhamdulillah, welcome to Be Quranic.This is the blessed month of Ramadan—Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! May Allah bless us in this month with a fasting full of Iman and sincerity, leading to taqwa and forgiveness from Him.The Be Quranic Taraweeh ApproachEach Ramadan, I choose one surah as my pet surah to study and recite throughout the month in Taraweeh.I lead Taraweeh with the Qaswa community here in Perth, and our approach may differ slightly from other places.We select one surah and deeply study it throughout the month. Each night before Taraweeh, we have a short tafsir session, and the ayat covered in tafsir are then recited in salah. This means we repeat the same ayat for several nights—allowing us to develop a deeper connection with the Qur'an.This method helps us internalise the surah and absorb its meanings so that when we hear the recitation in prayer, it resonates more deeply with us.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A Journey Through Past RamadansWe started this approach in 2019 with Surah Al-Baqarah.In 2020, due to COVID restrictions, we opted for Surah Al-Kahf, keeping things shorter and simpler.By 2021, restrictions were still fluctuating, so we went through Juz Amma, studying and repeating it in our Taraweeh prayers.Then, in 2022, as things returned to normal, we resumed our original format with Surah Ali 'Imran, followed by Surah An-Nisa in 2023, and Surah Al-Ma'idah in 2024.This year, 2025, our chosen surah is Surah Al-An'am.The Purpose of This ApproachThis is not just an intellectual tafsir—it is a practical approach. We extract real-life lessons from the surah, which we can turn into action points for the next 11 months.Each Ramadan, we add a new checklist of Qur'anic principles to live by, so that over the years, we gradually build our character through the Qur'an.This way, we don't just read or listen to the Qur'an—we live by it.Introduction to Makki SurahsWhat Makes a Surah Makki?The division of Makki and Madani Surahs is not based on geography—it is based on time.• Makki Surahs were revealed before Hijrah when the Prophet ﷺ was based in Makkah.• Madani Surahs were revealed after Hijrah, even if they were revealed outside of Madinah.For example:• Surah An-Nasr (إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ) was revealed in Makkah but is still a Madani Surah because it was revealed after the migration.• Surah Al-Fath (إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا) was revealed near Hudaybiyyah, closer to Makkah than Madinah, yet it's a Madani Surah.So, the division is based on period, not place.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What Makes Makki Surahs Unique?The 13 years in Makkah were the toughest years for the early Muslims. They were a minority, oppressed, and struggling against an overwhelming opposition.During this time, there were no major laws—no fasting, no zakah, no hijab. Even the five daily prayers were only fully established towards the end of the Makkan period.So, what was the focus of Makki Surahs?

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic!Today is Tuesday, the 26th of Shaaban, 1446 Hijrah—which means Ramadan is just a few days away! SubhanAllah, we are so close to the blessed month, the month of the Qur'an.And since it's Tajweed Tuesday, let's make the most of these last few days by working on beautifying our Qur'anic recitation. After all, what better way to prepare for Ramadan than by improving the way we connect with the words of Allah?Before we dive into today's lesson, let's do a quick recap of what we've covered so far.Over the past few weeks, we've explored:✅ The meaning of Tajweed – which is all about enhancing our recitation by following the rules of pronunciation, knowing how letters interact with each other, and understanding when to stop and when to continue.✅ Major and minor mistakes in Tajweed – Some mistakes, like switching letters or changing vowels, can actually alter the meaning of the ayah, and we absolutely need to avoid them. Other mistakes, like slight mispronunciations, don't change the meaning, but they still affect the beauty of our recitation.✅ Mad Asli (the foundational elongation) – Remember the golden rule? “Nuhiha” – three letters:• Alif after a Fathah• Waw after a Dhammah• Ya after a KasrahAnd we hold them for two harakat. Simple, right? But crucial, because missing it completely changes the meaning. Like how:

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome back to BeQuranic!Today is Tuesday, the 19th of Sha'ban, which means it's Tajweed Tuesday!We're going to break down the Tajweed rules from this week's ayat—Ayat 8 to 16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.Now, the 19th of Sha'ban also means we're just 10 or 11 days away from the blessed month of Ramadan!We ask Allah to bless us in Sha'ban, accept all our good deeds from Rajab and Sha'ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan in the best of faith and health. May we fast in a way that nurtures taqwa, read the Qur'an in a way that connects us to its divine message, and live as true Muslims, inshaAllah.Now, let's dive into today's Tajweed theory before we move on to practical application with Ayat 8-16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.Quick Recap of Last Week's LessonBeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Last week, we covered:✔ What is Tajweed?• The science of perfecting Qur'anic recitation—giving each letter its due rights and merging letters properly.• It also includes knowing when to stop and where to restart so the meaning of the ayah remains intact.✔ Two Types of Tajweed Errors:• Major errors (Lahn Jali): Mistakes that change the meaning, like mispronouncing letters or harakat.• These mistakes can invalidate prayer, especially in Surah Al-Fatiha.• Minor errors (Lahn Khafi): Mistakes that don't change the meaning but affect the beauty of recitation.✔ The First Tajweed Rule: Mad Asli (Natural Madd)• Three letters of Mad Asli: Alif, Waw, and Ya• Example formula: Nuhiha• Two harakat length• Changing Mad Asli can alter the meaning—e.g., لَا تَذْهَبْ (Don't go) vs. لَتَذْهَبَنَّ (You will surely go).If you missed the full breakdown, check out last week's Tajweed Tuesday episode for details!New Tajweed Rule: Wajibul Ghunnah (Mandatory Nasal Sound)Today, we're learning Wajibul Ghunnah—which means it's compulsory to pronounce with a nasal sound.✔ Only TWO letters produce Ghunnah:• ن (Noon) and م (Meem) when they have a Shaddah (ّ)Even without a Shaddah, Noon and Meem already have a natural nasal sound. But when they have Shaddah, it becomes Wajibul Ghunnah, meaning you must pronounce it with a clear nasalization.Test It Yourself:Try pronouncing “An” (أن) or “Um” (أم) while pinching your nose.• If the sound gets blocked, that's because these letters require nasal airflow!• If you have a blocked nose, you will struggle to pronounce Ghunnah properly.✔ When you see Noon or Meem with Shaddah (ّ) → Apply Ghunnah!✔ Example words:• إنَّ (Inna)• ثُمَّ (Thumma)Let's Apply These Rules: Surah Ar-Rahman (Ayat 8-16)This week's recitation is a bit challenging because it contains letters that are very close in articulation but must be pronounced distinctly.Remember: Every letter must get its due right!Now, let's go through the Tajweed breakdown of Ayat 8 to 16 step by step.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome to Week 2 of the BeQuranic Summer Season!This season, we're diving into Surah Ar-Rahman.Last week, we explored Ayat 1 to 7—we recited them, broke down the Tajweed rules, and started our Tafsir journey of this beautiful surah.This week, inshaAllah, we will be covering Ayat 8 to 16.• On Tuesday, you'll get the Tajweed Tuesday breakdown for this week's ayat.• On Thursday, we'll continue with Tafsir Thursday, diving deeper into the meanings and timeless wisdom of Surah Ar-Rahman.As always, Tajweed Tuesday is free for all, but if you'd like full access to Tafsir Thursday, consider subscribing to BeQuranic at bequranic.substack.com.Alright, without further delay, let's hand it over to Ustadh Emad for the recitation of Ayat 8 to 16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.

Assalamualaikum everyone,Welcome back to BeQuranic!Alhamdulillah, we've now entered the month of Sha'ban—a month filled with immense blessings and spiritual opportunities.Did you know that this is the month when our deeds are presented to Allah for the entire year? Rasulullah ﷺ told us that while our actions are recorded daily and weekly, in Sha'ban, they are lifted to Allah for the whole year.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Daily & Weekly Presentation of DeedsEvery single day, our deeds are presented to Allah twice—after Fajr and after Asr. That's why Rasulullah ﷺ made a special effort to spend time in worship during these moments.After Fajr, he would recite Qur'an and do dhikr. After Asr, especially before or after Maghrib, he would again engage in dhikr, ensuring his deeds were lifted while he was in a state of worship.On a weekly level, our deeds are also presented on Mondays and Thursdays. And what did Rasulullah ﷺ do?He encouraged us to fast on these two days and said that he loved for his deeds to be lifted while he was fasting.Sha'ban – The Forgotten MonthSayyidatuna Aishah رضي الله عنها told us that Rasulullah ﷺ fasted the most in Sha'ban, more than any other month except for Ramadan.Why?Because Sha'ban is often forgotten. It's wedged between Rajab, a sacred month, and Ramadan, the most belovedmonth of the year. Many people focus on Rajab and then jump straight into preparing for Ramadan, neglecting Sha'ban.But Rasulullah ﷺ didn't forget this month. He increased his worship in Sha'ban precisely because many people overlooked it.What can we do in Sha'ban?As we enter this beautiful month, let's take inspiration from Rasulullah ﷺ:✅ Increase our fasting—especially on Mondays and Thursdays.✅ Dedicate time after Fajr and Asr for Qur'an and dhikr.✅ Be more mindful of our deeds, since they're being lifted to Allah for the entire year.New Season of BeQuranic – Summer/Autumn 2025Now that we're in Sha'ban, we're also stepping into a new season of BeQuranic!This season will run from February to mid-April, and we'll be diving deep into Surah Ar-Rahman.Here's how it works:

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to Day 31 of the BeQuranic New Year 2025 Challenge.Today is Friday, and like all previous Fridays in this month, today's post is free for all. If you would like to access the full contents of BeQuranic, consider supporting the project by subscribing.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We've made it. SubhanAllah.For the past month, we've been on this journey together, studying Surah Al-Mulk—one ayah at a time. We've looked at its tajweed rules, we've explored its meaning, and we've reflected on how it applies to our daily lives.And if you've been memorising along the way, then yesterday, you would have completed the entire surah! That's no small achievement, so congratulations—may Allah make this surah a light for you in the grave, and a means of protection in this life and the next.If you're still catching up, don't worry. Take your time. Keep going, even if it's at your own pace. What matters is progress, not perfection. Remember the words of Rasulullah ﷺ:The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are small.So even after this challenge ends, let's keep the habit alive. Keep reciting Surah Al-Mulk every night. It takes just a few minutes, but the reward is beyond measure.A Final Reflection on Surah Al-MulkNow that we've completed the surah, let's step back and reflect.What is Surah Al-Mulk all about?This powerful surah reminds us of two things:1. The complete authority of Allah.2. The absolute dependence of creation on Him.It begins with:تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌBlessed is He in whose hands is the dominion, and He is over all things competent.And it ends with:قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۢSay: If your water were to sink into the earth, who then could bring you flowing water?The entire surah is a reminder that Allah is the true Owner of everything, and we—His creation—are utterly dependent on Him.Breaking Down the SurahIf we divide Surah Al-Mulk into sections, we find five key themes:1. Life as a TestAllah tells us in the second ayah that He created life and death as a test. Some days will be hard. Some days will be easy. But both are a test.How do we pass these tests? With two tools:• Shukr (gratitude) in times of ease.• Sabr (patience) in times of hardship.2. The Perfection of Allah's CreationAllah invites us to look around—at the stars, the skies, nature. Everything is precise, intentional, flawless.This part of the surah encourages us to spend time in nature—not just on our screens. Look up at the sky, breathe in fresh air, reflect. When we do, our hearts naturally connect to Allah.3. The Warning of PunishmentAllah warns of the fate of those who reject His signs. Jahannam is not a theoretical concept—it's real.But He also reminds us: it's never too late. We always have a chance to turn back, to ask for forgiveness.4. The Promise of RewardFor those who believe and do good, there is Jannah. Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Peace, safety, and eternal happiness.Allah doesn't just warn—He invites. He calls us to something beautiful.5. A Series of QuestionsThe surah ends with a series of powerful questions, forcing us to reflect:• Who gave us the earth?• Who provides for us?• Who controls the skies?• Who brings us water?If Allah were to take these things away, who else could provide them? The answer is obvious: No one but Him.Taking Surah Al-Mulk ForwardThis surah isn't just meant to be read—it's meant to shape how we think, live, and believe.So, as we close this journey together, let's make a commitment:✅ Recite Surah Al-Mulk every night. It's just 3-5 minutes.✅ Reflect on its meaning. Even if it's just one ayah that resonates with you each night.✅ Live by its lessons. Walk through life knowing Allah is in control—and we rely only on Him.What's Next?Alhamdulillah, we've completed Surah Al-Mulk! But this isn't the end of our Qur'anic journey.We're going to take a short break, and then inshaAllah, we'll begin a new series—Surah Ar-Rahman.It won't be a daily challenge like this one, but I'll share the schedule soon, and I'd love for you to join me as we explore the Surah of Mercy and Beauty.So stay connected, invite your friends and family, and let's continue our journey of becoming more Qur'anic—day by day.Jazakumullahu khayran for being part of this challenge. May Allah accept our efforts, increase us in knowledge, and make the Qur'an a guiding light in our lives.Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. This is a public episode.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to Day 30 of the BeQuranic New Year 2025 Challenge!SubhanAllah, we've reached the final ayah of Surah Al-Mulk. If you've been with us from the start, that means you've now studied every ayah of this incredible surah—its meaning, its tajweed rules, and its deeper wisdom. And if you've been memorising along the way, then today, you're completing the memorisation of an entire surah that Rasulullah ﷺ recited every single night. That's huge!Now, if you're just joining us, don't worry. You can take your time and go at your own pace. The goal here isn't speed—it's consistency. Microprogression. The most beloved actions to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are small. So even if you're moving slowly, keep going. Make sure today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow, inshaAllah, will be better than today.Let's dive into the final ayah of this surah:قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۢThis ayah is a powerful rhetorical question from Allah. He's asking the Quraysh—and by extension, all of us—“What if your water were to sink deep into the earth? Who could bring you fresh, flowing water?”Think about that for a second. Water. Something so basic, so fundamental to life. We turn on the tap, and it's there. We don't even think about it. But Allah is reminding us—this water we take for granted? It's a gift. And if He willed, it could disappear.For the Quraysh, this hit hard. They lived in a desert. They had no rivers, no easy access to water. Their survival depended on wells—especially Zamzam. So this question was very real for them: What if Allah took your water away? What would you do?BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.And it's still just as relevant today. With climate change, droughts, and water crises around the world, we're seeing just how fragile this blessing really is. Who controls the rain? Who keeps our rivers flowing? Who ensures that water reaches our homes? Only Allah.This final ayah wraps up Surah Al-Mulk beautifully by bringing us back to a central message: everything we rely on comes from Allah. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the earth we walk on, the stars above us, the water we drink—it's all from Him. And just as He gives, He can take it away.So, what's the takeaway from this ayah?1. Gratitude. We need to be deeply grateful for the blessings we take for granted, especially the basics like water. Every time we drink, we should say Alhamdulillah.2. Tawakkul. Just like yesterday's ayah reminded us to put our trust in Allah, this one reinforces it. He provides. If we ever feel uncertain, if we ever worry about provision—remember this ayah.3. Reflection. Every night, as we recite Surah Al-Mulk, let's take a moment to think: How much do I depend on Allah? How much gratitude do I show for His blessings?Alhamdulillah, we've now completed all 30 ayahs of Surah Al-Mulk! If you've memorised the entire surah—congratulations!

To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Today is the 28th of January, 28th of Rajab.Alhamdulillah, that means we're studying ayah number 28 from Surah Al-Mulk today.Welcome to the Quranic 2025 New Year Challenge.Our challenge this new year is to begin the year by diving into Surah Al-Mulk.Every day, we read one ayah,we dissect its tajweed rules,we reflect on its meaning,we uncover timeless lessons and wisdom,and as an added challenge, we memorize one ayah per day.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have memorized and internalized this great surah.This will make it easier for us to recite it every night before we go to sleep, earning its status as a protector from the torment of the grave.If you're new to the Quranic challenge, don't worry. Take your time—one ayah a day, or even one ayah every two days. What matters is consistent progress.As Rasulullah ﷺ said, “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.”Let's aim for small, steady steps forward—today better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today, inshaAllah.Now, let's dive into ayah number 28 of Surah Al-Mulk:قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَنْ يُجِيرُ الْكَافِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍReflection and Meaning:In this ayah, Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ to ask the disbelievers a profound question:“If Allah were to destroy me and those with me, or if He were to show us mercy, who would protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”This statement serves as a powerful reminder that the fate of the disbelievers is in their own hands.Whether the Prophet ﷺ and his followers succeed or perish, it will not change the reality that the disbelievers are still accountable for their actions.It's a wake-up call: rather than focusing on the fate of others, they should be concerned about their own.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!Today is the 27th of Rajab, a date that is significant in the Islamic history. It is the date that Rasulullah went on a miraculous journey called al-Isra' wal Mi'raj. To commemorate that, today's post will be free for all.Welcome to Day 27 of the BeQuranic 2025 Challenge! Today, we reflect on ayah 27 of Surah Al-Mulk. But before we begin, let's take a moment to acknowledge the date: 27th of Rajab. This is the day traditionally believed to mark the miraculous journey of Isra' wal Mi'raj—a powerful reminder of prayer as our direct connection to Allah.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The miraculous journey of Isra' wal Mi'raj came at a critical moment in Rasulullah ﷺ's life, during the Year of Sorrow (Aam al-Huzn). He had recently lost two of his strongest pillars of support:• Sayyidatuna Khadijah (RA): His beloved wife, confidante, and the first believer in his mission. She was the emotional bedrock of his life and da'wah.• Abu Talib: His uncle, protector, and shield against the Quraysh's physical harm and assassination attempts.The Prophet ﷺ faced mounting hostility in Mecca, rejection in Ta'if, and what seemed like a roadblock in his mission. At this juncture, Allah provided spiritual solace through this miraculous journey.The Gift of Salah: A Timeless ConnectionAmong the most significant outcomes of Mi'raj was the direct gift of Salah—five daily prayers—given by Allah without the mediation of Jibreel. Unlike other obligations that came through revelation on earth, Salah was delivered during this divine meeting, emphasizing its centrality in our faith.Salah as a SolutionRasulullah ﷺ faced external challenges—opposition, rejection, and grief—yet Allah provided him with an internal solution. Instead of armies or material aid, Allah gave him a direct means of communication: prayer.• Salah is our daily mi'raj, a spiritual ascent that allows us to connect directly with Allah, no matter where we are or what we face.• It teaches us that when life becomes overwhelming, the first step is to turn inward, strengthen our connection with Allah, and seek His guidance through prayer.The AyahAllah says:فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهُ زُلۡفَةٗ سِيٓـَٔتۡ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ“But when they see it approaching, the faces of the disbelievers will turn gloomy, and it will be said, ‘This is what you used to call for!'”Context and MeaningThis ayah concludes the conversation between the Quraysh and Rasulullah ﷺ, where they mockingly questioned the Day of Judgment:“When is this promise (of Qiyamah), if you are truthful?”Allah responds by describing the scene when Qiyamah is finally upon them:1. “When they see it approaching…”• The disbelievers will see the terrifying signs of Qiyamah drawing near.2. “…the faces of the disbelievers will turn gloomy.”• Their mockery and arrogance will be replaced with dread and despair.3. “…and it will be said: ‘This is what you used to call for!'”• They will be reminded of their own mockery, but at that moment, belief or regret will have no value.Lessons from the Ayah1. Faith Before It's Too Late• Allah gave us intellect, hearing, and sight to reflect on His signs and embrace faith before we see Jahannam with our eyes.• Waiting until death or the Day of Judgment to believe is too late.2. Life Is a Test of Trust• The test isn't in seeing and believing but in trusting Allah's guidance and preparing for the unseen reality.3. Mockery Reveals Arrogance• The Quraysh mocked the Prophet ﷺ, but their arrogance blinded them from the truth.• In life, dismissing reminders or belittling the deen often stems from the same arrogance.Connecting to Isra' wal Mi'rajThe 27th of Rajab reminds us of the gift of Salah—a direct line to Allah. What's fascinating is that at a time when Rasulullah ﷺ faced immense external challenges (the Year of Sorrow), Allah gave him a spiritual tool rather than an immediate worldly solution.• Prayer is Our Mi'raj: Salah elevates us spiritually, just as the Mi'raj elevated Rasulullah ﷺ.• Internal Solutions for External Problems: Fixing our internal connection with Allah strengthens us to face life's challenges.Practical Takeaways1. Evaluate Your Salah• Are you praying all five daily prayers? If not, make this your priority.• If you're praying, focus on praying on time and improving your khushu' (concentration).2. Turn to Allah Immediately• Don't delay repentance or self-improvement. If you struggle with a sin or weakness, start addressing it today.3. Strengthen Relationships• Life is short. If there's friction with family or loved ones, mend those relationships before it's too late.Final ThoughtThis ayah is a stark reminder: Don't wait until Qiyamah to believe or change.

Today's journey brings us to ayah 24 of Surah Al-Mulk—a short but profound verse packed with meaning. Let's dive straight in.Reciting the AyahAllah says:قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَSay, “It is He who created you and spread you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.”Reflecting on the MeaningIn this verse, Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ to deliver a powerful reminder: Allah created us, spread us across the earth, and one day, we'll all be gathered back to Him.Let's break it down:1. He created us and spread usThe word ذَرَأَ is fascinating. It doesn't just mean “to create”; it also carries the idea of scattering or spreading. Think about it: humanity started with Adam and Hawa (AS), and now we're spread across continents, speaking thousands of languages, living in diverse cultures.This is a beautiful reminder of our shared origins. No matter where we come from or what we look like, we all belong to one family.2. To Him, we will all be gatheredDespite our differences, our journeys will end the same way—back to Allah. Imagine that moment: humanity, from the first to the last, standing together on the Day of Judgment. Every deed, every word, every intention will be accounted for.This part of the ayah isn't just a reminder of accountability—it's also a subtle call to unity. Why fight, hate, or discriminate when we're all heading to the same destination?A Timeless LessonThis ayah brings to mind the verse from Surah Al-Hujurat:“O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female and made you peoples and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.” (49:13)Our differences—tribes, races, languages—aren't reasons for division; they're opportunities to connect and learn. At the end of the day, what matters isn't our lineage, wealth, or nationality, but our taqwa—our consciousness of Allah.Action Point for TodayHere's a simple challenge for today:• Get to know someone you don't usually interact with. Maybe it's your neighbour, a colleague, or even someone at the masjid. Strike up a conversation, share a smile, and remember: we all started from the same source.And while you're at it, reflect on how you can embody the prophetic akhlaq—spreading love, unity, and kindness wherever you go.Final ThoughtThis ayah beautifully ties together our origin, purpose, and ultimate destination. It reminds us of who we are, why we're here, and where we're headed.May Allah grant us the wisdom to appreciate our shared humanity and prepare for the day we are gathered back to Him.Jazakum Allahu Khair for tuning in.

To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.com(00:00:00):Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.Welcome to Day 18 of the BeQuranic New Year Challenge 2025.Our goal this month is to study Surah Al-Mulk, one ayah per day. Each day, we:1. Recite the ayah.2. Dissect its Tajweed rules.3. Explore its meaning and wisdoms.4. Take on the challenge of memorising one ayah every day.By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have completed both memorisation and reflection of this beautiful surah. If you're joining us for the first time, don't stress about catching up. Remember, the most beloved deeds to Allah are consistent ones, even if small.Let's begin with ayah 18 of Surah Al-Mulk.Recitation of Ayah 18:أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيموَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِMeaning of the Ayah:Allah says:“And those before them also denied (the truth). So how (terrible) was My rejection!”Reflection and Lessons:1. The Universality of Rejection:Allah is consoling the Prophet ﷺ. The Quraysh were rejecting his message, mocking him, and oppressing him. But this rejection isn't new. Nations before them—like the people of Nuh, Lut, Aad, and Thamud—also denied their prophets.For the Prophet ﷺ and for us as his followers, this reminder is meant to strengthen our patience in the face of opposition. If the greatest prophets faced rejection, how can we expect life to be without challenges?BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.2. The Consequences of Rejection:فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِAllah asks rhetorically, “How terrible was My rejection?” It's a warning to those who oppose the truth. Nations like Aad and Thamud were known for their technological advancements and immense power, yet they were obliterated because they defied their prophets.The Quraysh were well aware of these stories; they even passed by the ruins of these nations on their trade routes. This ayah is a stark reminder of the consequences of arrogance and disobedience.3. Parallels to Modern Times:History repeats itself. Today, we see injustices, arrogance, and oppression all around us. We witness atrocities committed against innocent people. We might question when justice will come. This ayah reminds us that Allah's justice is inevitable—whether in this world or the Hereafter.

Every day, we read one ayah, analyse its Tajweed rules, explore its meaning, and reflect on its timeless lessons and wisdom. Plus, we're taking on the challenge of memorising one ayah a day. By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have the entire surah in our hearts, along with a deeper understanding of its message.Let's dive into ayah 17 today.Recitation of Ayah 17:أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرٌthe Fatha of the Kaf and avoid making it sound like Kaif.Meaning and Reflection:Allah asks:“Or do you feel secure that the One above will not send a violent storm upon you? Then you will know how serious My warning was.”Building on Ayah 16:Yesterday, we reflected on how Allah controls the earth and could cause it to quake violently, swallowing us whole. Today, Allah shifts our attention upward—to the sky—and asks if we feel secure that He won't send down a storm of destruction.The word حَاصِبًا refers to a destructive wind carrying stones, debris, and fire. This type of wind was used as a punishment for past nations, such as the people of Lut and the army of the elephants in Surah Al-Fil.Lessons for Reflection:1. Allah's Absolute Control:Allah is not only the Creator but the Sustainer and Controller of everything in the heavens and earth. The forces of nature, which we often take for granted, are under His command. A gentle breeze could become a violent storm if He wills it.2. A Wake-Up Call:This ayah warns us not to become complacent. Do we really feel safe disobeying Allah? We may not face a literal storm, but Allah's warnings can come in various forms—illness, loss, or sudden calamities that remind us of our vulnerability.3. Signs from the Past:The people of Lut faced a similar punishment with a violent storm of brimstones. The army of the elephant in Surah Al-Fil was destroyed by tiny birds carrying stones. If Allah could do this to entire nations, are we exempt from His power?4. Gratitude and Accountability:Reflect on the blessings we enjoy every day. The same forces that could destroy us are the ones Allah uses to sustain us. The winds bring rain, the earth provides food, and the heavens protect us. With these blessings comes accountability.Challenge for Today:Take a moment to reflect on your surroundings. Ask yourself:• Do I sometimes feel “safe” in my disobedience?• How can I show gratitude to Allah for His mercy and control over my life?Let this ayah remind us that life is fragile and under Allah's command. Live each moment in obedience, so when the time comes to face Him, we can say we did our best to live as Muslims.That's it for Day 17. Stay consistent, reflect deeply, and keep striving. See you tomorrow, inshaAllah.Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.Thanks for reading BeQuranic! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

Every day, we read one ayah, break down its Tajweed rules, delve into its meaning, and reflect on its timeless lessons. As an added challenge, we memorise one ayah a day. If you're with us from the start, congratulations! You're over halfway through. By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have memorised the entire surah.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication.

Today's ayah reminds us of the flip side: If He can tame the earth, He can also unleash its destructive power.Reflection on Allah's Power:This verse is a wake-up call. Do we really feel so safe in our disobedience that we forget Allah's might? Earthquakes, landslides, and natural calamities serve as reminders that everything remains under His control.Thanks for reading BeQuranic! This post is public so feel free to share it.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome to Day 14 of the BeQuranic 2025 New Year Challenge! How's everyone doing? We're almost halfway through Surah Al-Mulk, and I hope this journey is inspiring you as much as it's inspiring me.Here's the plan, as always: one ayah a day, dissecting its Tajweed rules, understanding its meaning, and exploring the timeless wisdom it holds. And don't forget that added challenge—memorising one ayah every day! By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll not only understand this surah but also have it in our hearts.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Now, let's dive into today's ayah—ayah 14:“Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, Most Aware?”Tajweed Check-InBefore we delve into the meaning, let's review some Tajweed gems from this ayah:1. The letter ‘Ayn: This is a tricky one for many of us non-Arabs. It's a flowing sound, not blocked. So, when you say Ala, let it glide. It's not a stop—it's a soft flow.2. The noon sakin: There's no gunna here. It's a clear noon, pronounced crisply, like in man khalaqah.3. The mad arid lissukun: At the end of the ayah, we pause, extending it for four harakat.Let's always strive to give each letter its full rights. Remember, Tajweed isn't just about the sound—it's about respecting the words of Allah.The Meaning of Ayah 14Allah asks us a rhetorical question here: Does the One who created not know? Think about it—Allah, who created us, who designed every intricate part of our being, knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows not just what we say or do, but also what we think, feel, and intend.Allah then describes Himself as Al-Lateef—the Subtle—and Al-Khabeer—the All-Aware. These names are so profound. Al-Lateef refers to Allah's knowledge of even the smallest, most hidden things. Al-Khabeer tells us that He's completely aware of everything, from the tiniest atom to the grandest galaxy, and everything in between—including the deepest secrets of our hearts.Context of Revelation

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome to Day 13 of the BeQuranic 2025 New Year Challenge! We're moving forward in our journey through Surah Al-Mulk, studying one ayah every day this month. By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have completed not just reading and reflecting on, but also memorising this profound surah that the Prophet ﷺ described as our protector from the torment of the grave.Remember, it's not just about reciting for the hasanat, which is wonderful—10 rewards for every letter! But the deeper goal is to internalise its meaning, reflect on its wisdom, and let it shape our lives to be more Quranic.So let's dive into ayah 13 today:“And conceal your speech or publicise it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the chests.”Let's break this down. In this ayah, Allah is saying it doesn't matter if you whisper your words, shout them out loud, or keep your thoughts locked in your heart—Allah knows. Everything. Even what's buried deep within us.Now, here's something fascinating. Ibn Abbas narrated the reason for the revelation of this ayah. Some of the Quraysh leaders were secretly plotting against the Prophet ﷺ, and one of them said, “Keep your voices low so Muhammad's God doesn't hear us.” SubhanAllah! And Allah responded with this ayah, revealing their hidden conversation to the Prophet ﷺ.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.It's a powerful reminder that nothing—absolutely nothing—is hidden from Allah. He knows not only what we say but also what we think, what we intend, and even the whispers of doubt in our hearts.This ayah is a wake-up call, but it's also deeply comforting. It's a warning for those who think they can hide their evil intentions from Allah. But for believers, it's a source of hope. Why? Because Allah knows our struggles. He knows our silent duas, the pain we can't put into words, and the effort we make to turn away from sin—even when no one else sees it.

Every day, we read one ayah, break down its Tajweed rules, delve into its meaning, and reflect on its lessons. For those memorising along with us, by the end of January, you'll have memorised the entire surah, inshaAllah!Today's ayah, ayah 10, offers a profound reminder. The people of Jahannam admit,“If only we had listened and used our reason, we would not be among the people of the blazing fire.”This verse highlights two key qualities that protect us from misguidance: listening and understanding. But too often, pride—kibr—gets in the way. When someone gives us advice, do we listen to understand, or are we quick to respond and defend our ego?The story of Abu Jahl teaches us this lesson well. He recognised the beauty of the Qur'an but refused to follow it because of tribal pride. Similarly, the path of Iblis shows how pride not only blinds but also leads to blame and misguidance.Our takeaway today: let's guard our hearts against pride and embrace humility. When advice comes our way, let's pause, listen, and seek to understand—not to defend or argue.I'll see you tomorrow, inshaAllah, as we continue this journey together.

There's a lot to say about “mothers' status” in Islam, but sadly, not enough about how to support her to maintain and thrive there. It's hella lonely and confusing on these pedestals. We aren't looking for trophies, just Jannah (heaven), but some of us get lost along the way.Good news! There's a whole field of study about it! Matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood, is both spiritual AND practical for Muslims. There's no other way we know how to do things, but we weren't always here. It took a long way, through a lot of parenting potholes and pitfalls to get where we are, and we aren't done yet. Take a walk down memory lane with us and maybe tune in for some familiar experiences and sentiments.We didn't mean to start the waterworks this early in the series, but here we are.
