Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S20) Abu Bakr's family رضي الله عنهم had the unique honour of being the only family which had 4 generations that were all Companions رضي الله عنهم of the Messenger ﷺ. They are: Abu Quhafa (the father of Abu Bakr), Abu Bakr, Asmaa bint Abu Bakr and Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (the son of Asmaa, grandson of Abu Bakr) رضي الله عنهم. Another one of Zubayr's رضي الله عنه wives was Umm Kulthoom bint Uqbah رضي الله عنها. She رضي الله عنها was the sister of Uthmaan Ibn Affaan رضي الله عنه. They shared the same mother, Arwa رضي الله عنها (But had different fathers). Thus, Zubayr رضي الله عنه was the brother in law of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. A blessed relationship. Umm Kulthoom bint Uqbah رضي الله عنها embraced Islam in Makkah and migrated.

Menjelang berakhirnya operasional haji di Makkah, sejumlah hotel jemaah Indonesia mulai kosong dan ditinggalkan penghuninya. Kondisi ini membuat pengelola transportasi melakukan penyesuaian halte dan rute bus selawat tanpa mengurangi pelayanan kepada jemaah yang masih tersisa.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S8) A force gathered to try and attack Najashi (r.h) and take over. He (r.h) gathered his troops and crossed the Nile river and readied for battle. The companions رضي الله عنهم needed someone to keep an eye on the battle to see who wins, a ~16 year old Zubayr رضي الله عنه volunteered and was chosen. He رضي الله عنه swam across the Nile to witness the battle and to inform the companions رضي الله عنهم who won. Najashi (r.h) won the battle. When the Messenger ﷺ recited Surah Najm in Makkah, everyone prostrated, including the jinns. Everyone prostrated except one man. Because everyone was seen prostrating, a rumour spread that everyone in Makkah had embraced Islam, the companions رضي الله عنهم in Abyssinia heard this rumour and they returned to Makkah. However, upon learning that the Makkans hadn't embraced Islam, some of the companions رضي الله عنهم returned back to Abyssinia and some stayed in Makkah.

The Special Disciple, Session 7. Zubayr ibn Al Awaam ibn Khuwaylid ibn Asad ibn Qusayy (ra). Negus (rah) embraces Islam. The Wisdom as to The Hijra to Abyssinia The Quraysh nobles emigrated to Abyssinia so as to maintain a stronghold outside of Makkah. After The Battle of The Trench, the Companions leave Abyssina for Al Medina.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S9) Najashi (r.h) gifted Zubayr رضي الله عنه a spear. Zubayr رضي الله عنه gave it to the Messenger ﷺ. When Zubayr رضي الله عنه returned to Makkah, his beloved mother Safeeyah رضي الله عنها and his uncle Hamza رضي الله عنه had embraced Islam. Zubayr رضي الله عنه had the honour of being amongst those who performed a dual migration.

The environs of the Hajj are an ideal setting for discussions and deliberations on matters of benefit between Ulama, leaders and experts. This episode recounts Mufti Taqi Usmani's numerous encounters with erudite Ulama of the world during his visits to the Haramain, including one altogether amazing appointment with a renowned Muhadith in Makkah on the day of Ashura.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, US forces have carried out what a Central Command spokesman described as self-defence strikes in southern Iran. Israel's military says it has conducted a wave of attacks across Lebanon, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since April. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the restoration of international internet access after months of restrictions across the country, although it is unclear when services will resume. More than 1.5 million Muslims have gathered in Makkah for the start of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, with increased security measures put in place by Saudi authorities. In the UAE, hotels are preparing for a surge in staycation bookings over the Eid Al Adha holiday, as the regional war continues to disrupt travel. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

In this episode, we recount the story of Hajar, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim, whose unwavering faith and reliance on Allah in the barren desert led to the miracle of Zamzam, the settlement of Makkah, and the Hajj ritual of walking between Safa and Marwa.

After some years of earnest yearning, Mufti Taqi Usmani (hafidhahullah) returns to Makkah at the age of 20. A cherished journey by sea, he reminisces about moments in Aden, disembarking in Jeddah, and his very first tasting of olives. He also paints vivid pictures of the ease of access to the Ka'bah at the time, the types of structures that existed then, and the vista he beheld when he climbed atop Jabal Abu Qubais.

Welcome to Lesson 2 of our comprehensive explanation of Surah Al-Fatihah, drawing from the profound insights of the esteemed scholar, Sheikh Hammad al-Ansari. Surah Al-Fatihah is the greatest obligation upon every Muslim, yet so many recite it daily without grasping its true depth. In this episode, we explore why having multiple names indicates the extreme nobility of this Surah. We break down the meanings behind its titles—including Al-Fatihah (The Opener), As-Sab' al-Mathani (The Seven Oft-Repeated), and Ash-Shafiyah (The Cure). We also dive into the rich scholarly discussions surrounding its revelation. Was it revealed in Makkah or Madinah? Is the Basmalah actually the first verse of the Surah? Tune in to uncover the strongest scholarly opinions backed by Quranic evidence and Hadith Qudsi. What You'll Learn in This Lesson: Why understanding Al-Fatihah is an absolute obligation for your Salah. The profound meanings behind the various names of the Surah. Clear evidence proving whether it was revealed in Makkah or Madinah. The scholarly debate regarding the Basmalah and the Hadith Qudsi that solves it.

In this deeply reflective and transformative talk, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera explores the inner dimensions of Hajj beyond its outward rites and rituals. The Unseen Hajj: The Spiritual Journey Beyond the Rituals invites listeners to uncover the hidden meanings, spiritual lessons, and profound states of the heart embedded within every step of the sacred pilgrimage. Drawing upon Qur'anic insights, Prophetic teachings, and centuries of Islamic scholarship, the talk examines how Hajj is not merely a physical journey to Makkah, but a journey of the soul toward sincerity, surrender, humility, and nearness to Allah. From the symbolism of Ihram and Tawaf to the sacrifice of Mina and the standing at Arafah, each ritual becomes a mirror reflecting the believer's inner condition and spiritual aspirations. This inspiring presentation challenges attendees to move beyond performing rituals mechanically and instead experience Hajj as a life-changing process of purification, self-discovery, and renewal. Whether preparing for pilgrimage, reflecting on a past Hajj, or seeking spiritual growth in everyday life, listeners will gain timeless insights into how the essence of Hajj can continue long after the journey ends.

மக்காவின் சிறப்புகளும் அங்கே செய்ய வேண்டிய அமல்களும் மவ்லவி அலி அக்பர் உமரி | Ali Akbar Umari 01-05-2026, Jumma Taqwa Masjid, Trichy

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.This term, Term 2 of 2026, Grounded begins its study of Surah Al-Muddathir. Last term covered Surah Al-Muzzammil, and these two surahs reflect each other in meaning. Before opening the ayat itself, this first session steps back to map the landscape — where Al-Muddathir sits in the early revelation to the Prophet ﷺ, and what each surah was teaching him in sequence.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Cave and the Cry for GuidanceAt around 35 years old, the Prophet ﷺ began withdrawing from his community into spiritual seclusion. He would travel about five kilometres from Makkah to the cave of Hira, following a pattern set long before him by Ibrahim عليه السلام and his family.The Makkah he was withdrawing from was a city in moral disrepair. He could see the disease, but could not yet see the cure. So he would isolate himself, reflect, and pray for a way out — not just for himself, but for his people.When he was 40 years old, the answer came.The First Revelation: Iqra — ReadThe first revelation was the opening five ayat of Surah Al-'Alaq, beginning with the command:اقْرَأْ — Read.Pause on what is happening here. The Prophet ﷺ was unlettered. He was sent to a community that was overwhelmingly illiterate — some scholars say you could count on the fingers of both hands the number of people in Makkah at that time who could read and write. And the very first word Allah revealed to this man, in this place, was a command to read.This was revolutionary in human history.Before this moment, reading was largely the reserved privilege of the scholarly and the clergy — priests and religious authorities who needed access to scripture. A normal person, even a king, often did not need to read; they had scribes for that. Reading was an elite, ceremonial activity.Iqra democratised reading. It pulled it out of the temple and the palace and placed it in the hands of every believer. Allah did not first command the Prophet ﷺ to pray, to fast, or to perform Hajj. The first command — to him, and by extension to the Muslim community — was to read.Muslims have to be readers. This is the first command.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Second Revelation: Al-Qalam — The PenAfter this first encounter, the Prophet ﷺ was terrified. He thought he was losing his mind, that he was seeing things, that he had been touched by jinn. He went home and Khadijah رضي الله عنها calmed him down.Then came Surah Al-Qalam:ن ۚ وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَNun. By the pen and what they write.The nun is one of the disjointed letters whose meaning only Allah knows. But the rest of the ayah is clear: an oath by the pen and what it writes. The reference is to the pen of the Lawh al-Mahfudh — but the message to humanity is the elevation of writing.There is a difference of opinion among the scholars about which surah was the second revelation — Al-Qalam, Al-Muzzammil, or Al-Muddathir. The position taken here is that it is Al-Qalam, for two reasons.First, Surah Al-Qalam contains the ayah:مَا أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍYou, by the favour of your Lord, are not mad.The Prophet ﷺ had just walked away from the cave terrified that he was going crazy. Before any further mission could be loaded onto him, Allah needed to settle his heart: you are not mad. This is real. This is the answer to what you have been asking for.Second, the message of the pen and what is written sits naturally next to Iqra. First read. Then write. Allah is establishing the foundations of a literate ummah before He establishes anything else.A Civilisation Built on the PenThis focus on reading and writing wasn't just a private spiritual instruction to one man — it shaped a civilisation.A clear example is the Battle of Talas in 751 CE. When the Muslims defeated the Tang Chinese army, among the prisoners were craftsmen who knew the secret of papermaking. Until that point, paper was a closely guarded Chinese technology. Through those captives, papermaking entered the Muslim world — Samarkand, then Baghdad, then across North Africa and into Andalusia, and from there into the rest of Europe.The world before mass paper was a world of parchment and scroll — expensive, ceremonial, reserved for royal edicts and palace records. The world after was a world where ordinary people could own books. The intellectual explosion of the Islamic Golden Age — the libraries of Baghdad, the universities of Cordoba, the translation movements — was built on this foundation.The first command was Iqra. The second oath was by the pen. Acquiring and preserving knowledge isn't just useful for humanity. It is a religious command.The Third Revelation: Al-Muzzammil — The One Wrapped TightlyAfter reading and writing comes Surah Al-Muzzammil:يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ۞ قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًاO you who is wrapped up. Stand the night, except for a little.Muzzammil describes someone wrapped tightly in their cloak — the kind of wrapping you reach for when you're shivering, when you want to be held by your blanket. The Prophet ﷺ had come home shaken, and pulled his cloak tightly around himself.And in that state, the command came: stand the night.This is the command for spiritual work. Qiyamul layl. Take the knowledge that has been given to you — iqra, al-qalam — and turn it inward first. Transform yourself before you try to transform anything else.This is where revelation begins its real work on the believer: not in the marketplace, not in the public square, but at night, alone, standing before Allah.The Fourth Revelation: Al-Muddathir — The One CoveredAnd then comes the surah Grounded begins this term:يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ۞ قُمْ فَأَنذِرْO you who is covered. Stand up and warn.Muddathir is a softer wrapping than muzzammil. Muzzammil is the tight, terrified wrap of someone shivering. Muddathir is the more relaxed cover — like the blanket you pull over yourself on these cooler autumn nights in Perth, not clutched, just resting on you, comfortable.And the command this time is different. Qum fa-andhir — stand up and warn your people.This is community work.Notice the sequence Allah is teaching: 1. Iqra — read. 2. Al-Qalam — write. 3. Al-Muzzammil — work on yourself in the night. 4. Al-Muddathir — go out and work for your community in the day.Read and write. Acquire knowledge. Turn that knowledge into self-transformation. Then take that transformed self into the community and contribute.A good Muslim is not someone who simply sits at home reciting Quran, doing tasbih, doing dhikr, fasting, and isolating from the world. Those things are essential — non-negotiable, in fact. But the next question is always: how does this benefit the rest of creation? What is the contribution to the community?The Two Cannot Be SeparatedThere is a tendency to split these two — to treat the spiritual person and the activist as different categories. Islam fuses them.The Prophet ﷺ taught this fusion in a single hadith, narrated by Abdullah ibn Salam — a Jewish rabbi in Madinah who heard the first lecture and immediately recognised the signs of the final messenger. The Prophet ﷺ said:يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ، وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ، وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ، وَصَلُّوا بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ، تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ.O people, spread peace, feed the hungry, maintain family ties, and pray at night while people are sleeping — you will enter Paradise in peace.Look at the structure of that hadith. Three of the four instructions are outward — spread peace, feed people, connect family ties. These are daytime acts, community acts, the work of being among people. Only the last — pray at night while people sleep — is solitary spiritual work.The day is for community work. The night is for spiritual work. The night recharges the day. The day expresses what the night built.Spreading peace is tiring. Feeding people is tiring. Holding broken family relationships together is tiring. Where does the motivation come from? It comes from the night — from the extra Quran, the extra dhikr, the ayat of Jannah and Jahannam read in the silence when everyone else is asleep. That motivation then spills out into the next day's work.The Maxim of the ScholarsThe scholars of this ummah captured this balance in a maxim worth memorising:Knowledge without practice is like a tree that bears no fruit.Practice without knowledge is craziness.A reader who never acts is a barren tree. An actor who never reads is a danger — to himself and to everyone around him.Surah Al-Muddathir lands precisely here. By the time this revelation comes, the Prophet ﷺ has been told to read, told to write, and told to stand the night and work on himself. Now, finally: stand up and warn your people.This is where Grounded picks up next week, opening the first ten ayat of Surah Al-Muddathir, إن شاء الله.This Week's Take-HomeAudit your own balance this week. Ask honestly: • Reading and writing — am I taking in knowledge, or has my intake quietly stopped? • Self-work — what am I doing in the night that no one else sees? • Community work — what am I doing in the day that benefits people beyond myself?If three of these are strong and one is empty, that's the one to start with this week.See you Tuesday for Tajweed Tuesday, and next Thursday we dive into the surah.Thanks for reading Grounded!

To hear more, visit www.grounded.dayThe Structure of This SurahBefore we go forward, it helps to see the shape of what we have been reading.Surah Al-A'raf is a Makki surah. Its primary audience was the Quraysh of Makkah. Its central argument is historical: look at the nations before you. Contrast this with Surah Al-An'am — also Makki, also addressing the Quraysh — but that surah makes its…

We praise Allah for allowing us to experience and complete another Ramadan. And now that we've emerged from it, there's a question worth sitting with: what comes next?Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali mentions that the pious predecessors would spend six months after Ramadan asking Allah to accept their deeds — and the remaining months begging Him to let them witness another one. That's the rhythm. Gratitude, then longing. Never stagnation.But the Qur'an gives us something even more precise than that rhythm. It gives us a transition.In Surah al-Baqarah, the discussion of Ramadan begins at ayah 183 — *kutiba alaykum al-siyam* — and runs through to ayah 187. Then, immediately, in ayah 189, Allah says:**يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَهِلَّةِ***They ask you about the crescent moons.*The companions asked Rasulullah ﷺ about the significance of the moon's phases — crescent to full, waning and returning. Allah answered that the moon exists so that humanity can track time. So we know when a month begins and when it ends. (I understand this topic is sensitive in Perth. We'll leave that there.)But then, immediately, Allah connects this to Hajj. “Qul hiya mawaqitu li al-nas wa al-hajj.” The crescents are time-markers for people — and for Hajj.The transition is beautiful. One act of worship ends. The next one begins. No gap. No off-season. The life of a believer is simply moving from one ibadah to the next. The same Lord we worshipped in Ramadan is the same Lord who governs every moment outside of it. Ramadan ending doesn't mean the haram becomes negotiable again, or the wajib becomes optional. We have a new aim now.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.-----Now, not everyone can perform Hajj. It's a mathematical impossibility. Two billion Muslims, roughly two million pilgrimage spots per year — the number has been reduced since COVID. Do the maths. It would take something like 700 years before every Muslim alive today gets a turn. That's why Hajj is the only pillar where Allah specifies man istata'a ilayhi sabila — for those who are able. Ability is a condition.But the mindset still applies. The transition from one ibadah to the next is for everyone.-----There are so many dimensions to Hajj worth unpacking. But I want to focus on one moment — a snapshot — from the stoning at the Jamarat.The backstory is Sayyidina Ibrahim عليه السلام. He was commanded by Allah, through a dream, to sacrifice his only son at that time, Isma'il. And when he told his son — and Allah recorded this exchange in the Qur'an — Isma'il responded with full submission: *ifʿal mā tu'mar* — do as you have been commanded. You will find me among the patient.But Isma'il set conditions. He said: don't do it in Makkah, because if I scream, my mother will hear and it will break her heart. And make sure the blade is sharp so it's quick.(Side note to the sons in the room: if your father knocks on your door and says he saw a dream about slaughtering you — dial 000. These days, the worst our fathers do is say, “Son, wake up for Fajr.” And even that's a struggle.)Father and son walked about five or six kilometres from Makkah to Mina. And at each of the three stations along the way, Iblis appeared. He whispered. He cast doubt. He said: *You've done enough. You built the Ka'bah. You migrated from Iraq to Jerusalem to Makkah. You've sacrificed so much already. Why this? Just say no.*At each station, Ibrahim took seven pebbles, threw them in the direction of Iblis — *Allahu Akbar* — and moved on.After the third station, Iblis left and never came back.Falamma aslama wa tallahu li al-jabin. When both of them submitted fully — the father resolute, the son's forehead on the stone — Allah called out. The test was fulfilled. A great sacrifice was sent in Isma'il's place.-----Thousands of years later, during the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ — Hajjat al-Wada' — as he was riding his camel towards the Jamarat, he told Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Abbas: get me some pebbles.Ibn Abbas picked up pebbles about the size you could flick between your thumb and index finger. Our scholars later said: about the size of a chickpea.Rasulullah ﷺ took them and said: yes, get more of this size.And then he addressed the community. He said:**يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ***O people, beware of extremism in religion. For nations before you were destroyed because of extremism in religion.*Think about that. This is a moment about picking up a rock. A small, mundane, physical act. But Rasulullah ﷺ saw the teaching opportunity and seized it.Because it's easy to go overboard here. You're reliving what Ibrahim went through. You're stoning Iblis. A chickpea-sized pebble? That's not going to cut it. You want to find the nearest cricket club, practice your bowling, and make sure Iblis doesn't come back next year.But no. The Prophet ﷺ said: this is the size. Not too big — you're not hurling rocks. Not too small — you're not flicking grains of rice. Just right. The balance.-----So where do we draw the line on extremism?I was speaking to some of the high school students at Qaswa about the practices of our predecessors in Ramadan. Imam al-Shafi'i would complete two full readings of the Qur'an every day during Ramadan — one in the day, one at night. That's sixty khatam in one month.The students said: that's extreme, isn't it?I said: well, how do you define extreme?Let's pull out our phones. Check the screen time. How many hours on TikTok? How many on Instagram? People are clocking seven, eight, ten hours a day staring at a screen.Now imagine we could transport Imam al-Shafi'i into 2026. We tell him: Muslims today stare at a glowing rectangle for ten hours a day, getting no benefit, and it's actually harming them.He would say: that's extremely stupid, isn't it?So who defines what's extreme? Rasulullah ﷺ does. Because he is the most balanced of humanity. The mark of this Ummah, as Allah describes it in the Qur'an: ummatan wasata — a balanced nation.When three companions each decided to push further — one would pray all night and never sleep, one would fast every day and never break it, one would worship and never marry — the Prophet ﷺ said: I am the one with the most taqwa among you. Yet I pray and I sleep. I fast and I break my fast. I worship and I marry. This is my sunnah. Whoever turns away from my sunnah is not from me.Everything has a right. Your body has a right — good nutrition, good rest. Your family has a right. Allah has a right over you in worship. Giving every aspect its due — that's balance.-----Let me sketch a few dimensions of this balance.Balance in belief. Islam respects both revelation and reason. We believe because Allah told us to believe — in Him, in the angels, in the books, in the prophets, in the Last Day, in qadar. These are revelatory matters.But our tradition also respects the intellect. Look at how Ibrahim عليه السلام argued with his people in Surah al-An'am. He didn't just say: stop worshipping your idols because Allah says so. He engaged their logic. Idols you carved with your own hands — you made them, and now you bow to them? They don't speak, don't benefit you, don't harm you. Why?And then the stars. He observed the kawkab — a beautiful star — and said sarcastically: this is my lord? But when it set, he said: I don't love things that disappear. God can't be present at some times and absent at others. I need God every moment.Then the moon appeared, full and bright. He said: this is my lord? But when it set, he said: *if my Lord had not guided me, I would certainly be among those who are astray.*Notice the shift. In the first argument, Ibrahim used pure logic — God can't appear and disappear. But in the second, he acknowledged that arriving at the worship of Allah requires revelation. Intellect can deny what is not God. But to know who God is, you need guidance.Imam al-Ghazali captured this beautifully. He said: revelation is like the sun, and reason is like eyesight. Without the sun, there's nothing to see. But without eyesight, you can't appreciate the light. Both together — that's how you see.If you rely only on revelation, your faith works fine within a Muslim bubble. The moment it's challenged from outside, it crumbles. If you rely only on reason, you can conclude that God must exist — but you'll never arrive at which God, or how to worship Him. Both, hand in hand. Ummatan wasata.Balance in practice. There are people so focused on the physicality of worship — how to raise the hands, where to place them, how to stand — that they forget the deeper purpose. Prayer isn't calisthenics. When Allah says aqim al-salah li dhikri — establish prayer to remember Me — He's pointing to something beyond movement.Every act of worship in Islam is meant to produce beautiful character. The Prophet ﷺ said: I was only sent to perfect noble character. If the more religious we become, the harsher our behaviour gets — something is broken. The balance is off.Allah tells us that prayer prevents shamelessness and evil. Yet we see people who pray, and in the same breath they double-park on someone without a care. The same tongue that recites Qur'an goes on to slander. The same hands that move in salah take what doesn't belong to them.How? Because the spiritual dimension was missing. If you truly stood before Allah in prayer — before the Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in between — there has to be an after-effect. If you get called to the CEO's office and told off, you'll behave well for at least a few days. Now multiply that. You stood before the Lord of all worlds. You spoke to Him. Surely the effect lingers.And just as it starts to fade — Dhuhr arrives. Then before it fades again — Asr. Then Maghrib. Then Isha. Then sleep, then Fajr. The cycle continues. This is why prayer stops you from evil. You keep checking in with Allah. You keep reporting back.But strip away the spiritual dimension, focus only on the mechanics, and it loses its purpose.On the other hand, there are people who say: my heart is good, I don't need to pray. As long as I'm kind, the rituals are for other people. But then — who are you actually worshipping? If you abandon what Allah prescribed and follow only your own moral compass, you're worshipping your own nafs.-----This is the lesson of the chickpea.One nation before us fell into extremism through legalism — everything became so complicated that they abandoned practice altogether. Another fell through spiritualism — everything was about love, no boundaries, no halal or haram, just accept and you're saved. The religion dissolved. Nothing was left.Islam sits in the middle. As Imam al-Ghazali said: khayru al-umur awsatuha — the best of affairs is the middle path.The Prophet ﷺ reminded us, standing at the Jamarat, pebbles in hand: don't fall into extremism. The size of a chickpea. Not too much. Not too little. Just right.May Allah protect us from extremism in religion. May He grant us the strength to live by the Sunnah — balanced in every dimension, following our Prophet ﷺ externally and internally. Thanks for reading Grounded!

Surah Al-Hajj is the 22nd chapter of the Qur'an. It contains 78 verses and is named after the Hajj, the pilgrimage that Muslims perform in Makkah. Surah Al-Hajj emphasizes faith in God, the reality of the Day of Judgment, and the importance of sincere worship. It reminds people of God's power in creation, warns those who deny the truth, and encourages believers to remain steadfast. The surah also explains the purpose and spiritual meaning of the Hajj pilgrimage, including sacrifice and devotion to God, and calls Muslims to strive in God's cause while practicing justice and righteousness. This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur'an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan. While not a full tafsir, these concise and heartfelt talks aim to highlight key themes and insights from each Surah to inspire a deeper connection with the Qur'an. In this series, we've taken those reflections and focused them surah by surah, offering a dedicated video for each chapter of the Qur'an. The goal is to spark curiosity, build motivation, and encourage further study of the Qur'an in a manageable, engaging format. Whether you're revisiting familiar Surahs or exploring new ones, these summaries are here to help you pause, reflect, and fall in love with the Qur'an all over again.

Was the great Sufi thinker Ibn 'Arabi actually a kind of idealist philosopher? In this video we explore the metaphysics of the Akbari tradition and the famous doctrine of Wahdat al-Wujud (Oneness of Being).I examine Ibn ‘Arabi's view that God (al-Haqq) is the only true Reality, while the universe is a divine self-disclosure within Being. Along the way we look at concepts like wujūd (Being), imagination (khayāl), the immutable entities (a‘yān thābita), and the idea that the world is a reflection of the divine attributes.Find me and my music here:https://linktr.ee/filipholmSupport Let's Talk Religion on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkreligion Or through a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/talkreligiondonateSources/Recommended Reading:Abdel-Hadi, Faris (2025).

Surah Al-Kahf is the 18th chapter of the Qur'an. It was revealed in Makkah and contains 110 verses. The surah emphasizes faith, trials of life, reliance on Allah, humility, and the reality of the Hereafter. It revolves around four major stories, each highlighting a different test.

Surah Al-Isra, the 17th chapter of the Qur'an, is a Makkan surah consisting of 111 verses. It is named after the miraculous Night Journey (Isra) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Jerusalem, an event that signifies Allah's power and the special status of the Prophet. The surah emphasizes core themes of Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah), accountability in the Hereafter, and moral responsibility. It calls for righteousness, kindness to parents, justice, humility, and compassion, while warning against arrogance, wastefulness, and disbelief. It also highlights that guidance comes through divine revelation and that every individual is responsible for their own deeds. Overall, Surah Al-Isra serves as a powerful reminder of faith, ethical conduct, and trust in Allah's wisdom and justice.
