Beginning a New Text with Imam al-GhazaliAlhamdulillah, this session marks the beginning of a new text in our weekly Ratib & Reminders gathering. For those based in Perth, you're warmly invited to join us live at Qaswa House every Thursday from 7:00–9:00 p.m. The gathering is open to everyone — men and women, young and old.After returning to Perth, it was a joy to be back at Ratib and to see the continuity of the program while I was away. We recently completed Arba‘ina Shamil fi Insanil Kamil, the 40 hadith on the perfection of Rasulullah ﷺ, and many were able to join the khatam we did live from Madinah. With that chapter completed, we now move into a new phase of study.The most common request I receive is to study the works of Imam al-Ghazali. While his magnum opus Ihya' ‘Ulum al-Din is one of the greatest works in Islamic scholarship, it is also vast — effectively forty books in one. For this reason, rather than beginning something we may struggle to complete, we've chosen a shorter, more focused text that reflects Ghazali's core project.Over the next two sessions we'll introduce this new book and begin exploring its themes. After that, we'll pause for Ramadan, as Ratib will be replaced by nightly taraweeh at Moresby Street Hall, Kensington, where we'll be reading and briefly reflecting on Surah al-A‘raf. After Ramadan, inshaAllah, we'll return to the text and continue the journey.Imam al-Ghazali had a unique way of teaching. He often wrote large, comprehensive works, then summarised them into medium-length texts, and finally into concise versions meant to be memorised. His belief was that knowledge only truly becomes yours when it is internalised — when you live with it, not merely read it. This approach shapes the book we'll be studying together.The text we've chosen is Al-Arba‘in fi Usul al-Din (The 40 Principles of the Religion). Interestingly, it did not begin as a standalone book. It was originally written as an appendix to Jawahir al-Qur'an (The Jewels of the Qur'an). After guiding readers on how to approach and understand the Qur'an, Imam al-Ghazali addressed the next essential question: How do we live the Qur'an? These forty principles were his answer. Recognising their importance, he permitted the work to be published independently.For many, especially those who went through traditional Islamic schooling in places like Malaysia, the content of this book will feel familiar. Much of classical Islamic education has been shaped, directly or indirectly, by Imam al-Ghazali's framework.To understand his project, we stepped back and looked at the foundation of Islamic scholarship itself — Hadith Jibril, often called Umm al-Sunnah. This hadith presents the religion through three inseparable dimensions: Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.Islam refers to the outward actions of the religion — prayer, fasting, zakat, and hajj — which later became formalised as the science of fiqh. Iman addresses belief, engaging the intellect before settling in the heart, and developed into the science of ‘aqidah. Ihsan focuses on spiritual refinement: worshipping Allah as though you see Him, and knowing that He sees you even when you do not.Over time, each of these dimensions developed its own sciences and terminology. These terms did not exist in the Prophet's time, but they were created to preserve clarity and make learning accessible. Tasawwuf, when understood correctly, belongs firmly within this tradition — addressing the heart and soul, not as a replacement for fiqh or ‘aqidah, but as their completion.Imam al-Ghazali lived during a period of deep fragmentation in the Muslim world — politically, intellectually, and spiritually. His life's work was to bring these dimensions back together, showing that a sound religious life cannot survive on law alone, belief alone, or spirituality alone. Each needs the others.It was during a profound personal crisis, after reaching the peak of his academic career, that Ghazali withdrew from public life for years of spiritual seclusion. From this period emerged Ihya' ‘Ulum al-Din, the first work to systematically unite belief, practice, and spiritual purification into a single guide for living Islam.Al-Arba‘in fi Usul al-Din is the distilled essence of that project. It is organised into forty principles: foundations of belief, guidance on practice, dangers on the path, and the means of salvation. This is the text we'll be walking through together, slowly and practically, inshaAllah.This session served as an introduction to both Imam al-Ghazali and the book we'll be studying. We'll continue next week, before pausing for Ramadan, and then resume the journey together. This is a public episode.

YOUR MUSLIM GIRL SUBSTACK COMING NEXT WEEK (InshaAllah)Salam lovely,I am so excited for you to tune into today's episode of the Your Muslim Girl Podcast, because this is part 1 of me and Kiandra Browne's collaboration episode. Today, we're talking about being visibly Muslim, discipline, and what it means to be visibly Muslim in a professional sports setting.

Salam my love,In today's episode we're discussing how vital it is that we start to reframe the situations that we're in. Good and bad situations or events are determined by whether or not they bring us closer to Allah's (God's) love. So something that might be good for us from a worldly perspective might actually be detrimental to us from a religious perspective.

If you've read this description, let me know: what are some of the biggest things you're struggling with, and how do you think I could help? See you soon, InshaAllah.

Assalamu alaykum dear friend,Long time no voice note!I sat down to write my ‘morning pages' (journaling) and I somehow ended up with a full letter to you

Salam my love,Have you ever felt like your heart kept getting shot at by arrows, like you're bleeding out because of the people around you or the circumstances that you're in? You're not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing a really profound concept that Yasmin Mogahed shares in her book "Reclaim Your Heart." She discusses how we misplace the gifts of Allah, and Allah Himself when it comes to our spiritual "hand and heart" and how this misplacement will always end up hurting us. So if you've been waiting for the missing puzzle piece that will help everything click into place, this episode may just help with that. As always, if you have any questions, podcast episode recommendations, or would just like to chat, feel free to reach out to me via IG or email, or the Spotify chatbox.

“Am I really procrastinating — or am I actually avoiding?”Have you ever found yourself scrolling your phone instead of cooking — only to suddenly jump into the kitchen the moment your child asks you to play? On the outside, it looks like procrastination. But often, it's actually something deeper.In today's episode, we'll explore why this happens. Sometimes it's simple distraction. Other times, it's avoidance — a way our minds protect us when we're overwhelmed. We'll also talk about how old wounds from our own childhood can affect the way we respond to our kids, and why half-listening or reacting quickly doesn't give the connection that our children really need.Mama, the answer isn't just to hide your phone or try harder. Real, lasting change comes from slowing down, healing, and learning to regulate your emotions — so you can respond with presence and compassion.If this is what your heart is calling for, enrollments for the October batch of Holistic Tarbiyah Academy are now open. This is where I help mothers like you create calmer homes, parent with Ihsan, and raise emotionally healthy children, InshaAllah.

Salam my love!Today's episode is a bit more of a reflection-and-researched episode. We're discussing pushing past the feeling of discomfort when it comes to sins, what two ingredients are necessary when it comes to cutting off sins, why life can sometimes feel really difficult (this one might surprise you!) and that uncomfortable feeling when you're pushing yourself.Today's episode is a reminder first and foremost to myself, and any good that you get from it is entirely from Allah. If there's anything that I say that is wrong, it is entirely from me, and please forgive me for it. As always, if you have any questions, podcast episode recommendations, or would just like to chat, feel free to reach out to me via IG or email. See you soon, InshaAllah.

Tajweed Tuesday — Surah al-Hujurat, Ayat 3–5Assalamu ʿalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to BeQuranic. Apologies for the delayed post. I know today is Wednesday, but here you go, Tajweed Tuesday.This week, we're continuing our journey through Surah al-Hujurat, looking at Ayat 3 to 5. Let's begin with the recitation of these verses, followed by a breakdown of the key Tajweed rules.1. Ayah 3 – Pronunciation & Tajweed Focusإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ* إِنَّ – Wajib al-Ghunnah (with shaddah on the noon, held for 2 counts).* الَّذِينَ – Madd asli on “الَّذِي” (basic elongation).* يَغُضُّونَ – Note the ضاد, a thick letter produced by pressing the side of the tongue to the upper molars. Be careful not to turn it into a heavy د or make it a tip-of-the-tongue sound.* أَصْوَاتَهُمْ – Ṣād is a heavy letter (tafkhīm). Remember, heaviness comes from the back of the tongue lifting, not from the lips. Don't incorrectly say Aw-swaatah; say it clearly: Aswāta.* رَسُولِ اللَّهِ – Here, the Lafdh al-Jalālah (the word “Allah”) is read lightly because it is preceded by a kasrah.* أُولَٰئِكَ – This is madd wajib muttasil — when a hamzah follows a madd letter in the same word. Stretch it for fourcounts.* قُلُوبَهُمْ – Madd asli on “قُلُو”.* مَّغْفِرَةٌ – Idgham mithlayn sagheer (two meem coming together).* وَأَجْرٌ – Qalqalah on the ج and Idgham bighunnah for the Tanween + و.* عَظِيمٌ – Madd ‘āriḍ lis-sukūn at the end of the ayah if you stop.2. Ayah 4 – Clarity in Recitationإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِن وَرَاءِ الْحُجُرَاتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ* مِن وَرَاءِ – Idgham bighunnah because min + wāw.* وَرَاءِ – Madd wajib muttasil – again, 4 counts due to the wave sign.* أَكْثَرُهُمْ – Watch your ك here – don't make it too heavy.* يَعْقِلُونَ – Qaaf is a heavy letter. Lift the back of your tongue slightly to maintain correct tafkhīm.3. Ayah 5 – Clear Articulation & Disciplineوَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ* أَنَّهُمْ – Wajib al-ghunnah on the shaddah.* صَبَرُوا – Be sure the ṣād is heavy — lift the back of your tongue.* تَخْرُجَ – Also has a خ, which is a heavy letter. Emphasise that thickness.* إِلَيْهِمْ – Clear idh-har (no merging here).* لَكَانَ – Madd asli* خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ – Idgham bila ghunnah on tanween + lām. No ghunnah, just merger of sounds of ر and ل.* وَاللَّهُ – Here the Lafdh al-Jalālah is heavy because it's preceded by a fatḥah.* غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ – No ghunnah idgham on the shaddah in r-rahīm.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!We're almost at the end of Surah al-Wāqiʿah and Term 2 of 2025. Apologies for missing last week's episode—I got caught up with work. But alhamdulillah, we're back to wrap up the surah over the next two weeks, inshaAllah.

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome back to BeQuranic. Today is Tuesday, and that means it's time for Tajweed Tuesdays.This week, we'll be reading our Ayat of the Week — Surah al-Waqi‘ah, verses 75 to 82 — and then we'll dissect some of the tajweed rules inside these verses.We're coming close to the end of Surah al-Waqi‘ah, and that also means the end of this term, inshaAllah. So let's really focus and try to master the tajweed in these final ayat.Let's get reading… Remember, the aim is not just to memorise the rules, but to read fluently with correct tajweed. Start slowly, break down each ayah, apply the rule, and repeat until your reading is smooth and confident.Jazakum Allahu khayran for tuning in to Tajweed Tuesdays.See you on Thursday, inshaAllah, for our Tafsir session.

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.

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.

We now begin reciting Dua Qunut in Witr.Tafseer of Surah Al-An'am (Verses 49–54)Verse 49 (Recap):• Those who reject Allah's signs will experience severe punishment, even from a slight “touch” of torment.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Verse 50: The Prophet's ﷺ Humanity and Limits of Knowledge• “I do not claim to have the treasures of Allah, nor do I know the unseen, nor am I an angel.”• Rasulullah ﷺ clarifies three important points to the Quraysh:1. 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?

In Part 2, we'll dive into practical steps you can take to make the most of this month — what to do, what to avoid, and how to stay consistent, inshaAllah.

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:

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.

Salam lovely! Once again, I need to say that you are the literal best. This episode was supposed to be up yesterday, but Spotify was behaving a little funny, so here it is! We're discussing some fun summer things to do to have fun in a halal way. I'll also be posting a list of habits to pick up during the summer, InshaAllah. As always, if you have any questions for me, feel free to reach out to me via IG (@yourmuslimgirlpodcast) or email: yourmuslimgirlpodcasat@gmail.com I am still accepting work for the book for Palestine, so definitely shoot me an email if you have something you'd like to contribute. May Allah grant you a wonderful week, and love you for the sake of Allah, Fatima Shop my journals: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ByFatimaSabir.etsy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/yourmuslimgirlpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: yourmuslimgirlpodcast@gmail.com All my links can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/fatimasabir⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
