Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Rise of the Far Right as a threat to democracy' and ‘Divine change - does God change us, or do we change for God?' Rise of the Far Right as a threat to democracy As the far-right movement gains momentum, a quieter threat to peace, equality, and justice emerges. These ideologies spread hate, counter diversity, and fuel fear through racism and nationalism, targeting immigrants, minorities, and vulnerable groups. Join us as we explore the growing danger of far-right ideologies and their impact on the moral foundation of democracy and human dignity. Divine change - does God change us, or do we change for God? Today, we open our hearts to a timeless question: Is it God who changes us, or do we change for God? In moments of stillness and in life's turning points, transformation reaches us—but who takes the first step? Join us as we reflect on the journey of divine change, and how our hearts align with the will of the Most Merciful. Guests: Dr. Aaron Winter - Senior lecturer in sociology at Lancaster University, specialising in the study of far-right extremism, racism, and political violence. His research focuses on the intersection of white nationalism, Islamophobia, and the role of media and state policy in shaping extremist narratives Nasir Ahmed - working in the IT, analysing rightwing and muslim extremism on Social Media.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, everyone.Welcome to Day 29 of the BeQuranic New Year 2025 Challenge.This January, we're spending the month studying Surah Al-Mulk. Every day, we take just one ayah. We read it, go through its tajweed rules, reflect on its meaning, and explore the timeless lessons and wisdom it holds.As an added challenge, we're memorising one ayah per day from this incredible surah—the surah Rasulullah ﷺ recited every night before sleeping. He called it “The Protector” because it protects us from the torment of the grave.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Today, we're looking at the second-to-last ayah, ayah number 29. Let's begin by reading it together:قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍThis ayah follows directly from yesterday's discussion, where the Quraysh were challenged to reflect. Allah instructed Rasulullah ﷺ to tell them: if Allah were to destroy him and the believers or show mercy upon them, it wouldn't change the fate of the disbelievers.Now, the Prophet ﷺ is told to say: “He is Ar-Rahman (The Most Compassionate). We have believed in Him, and upon Him we rely. Soon you will know who is in clear misguidance.”Let's pause here and reflect on a few key lessons.First, the name Ar-Rahman. This is one of the most powerful names of Allah. In fact, it's so significant that there's an entire surah named after it.Ar-Rahman is often translated as “The Most Merciful,” but mercy alone doesn't fully capture its meaning. Mercy in English usually implies forgiveness after a mistake. Ar-Rahman goes far beyond that.In one hadith, Allah says, “I am Ar-Rahman, and I created the womb and derived its name from Mine.” Think about the relationship between a baby and its mother's womb. The baby is completely sustained and protected without doing anything. It is nourished, safe, and loved—all through the mercy and compassion of the mother.

To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!Welcome to Day 20 of the BeQuranic 2025 New Year Challenge!This January, we're taking a deep dive into Surah Al-Mulk, one ayah at a time. We're not just memorizing—we're reflecting, exploring its timeless lessons, and growing spiritually.If you've stuck with us this far, mashallah! And if you've just joined us, welcome aboard—take it at your own pace. Even one ayah a day is a blessing.Let's get started with today's ayah—ayah 20.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Recitation of Ayah 20أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيمأَمَّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌۭ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍMeaning of Ayah 20Translation:“Who is it that can be an army for you to help you besides Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful)? Indeed, the disbelievers are only in delusion.”Reflections and Lessons1. A Reminder of Our PowerlessnessThis ayah poses a rhetorical question: If you stand against Allah, who can possibly help you?Think about it—Allah has already described some of His forces:• The earth, which He tamed for us but can shake violently.• The wind, which carries blessings or destruction.• The stars, part of His armies, used as missiles against devils (as mentioned earlier in the surah).So who can possibly defend us if we choose to rebel against the Creator?2. The Illusion of StrengthAllah points out that disbelievers live in delusion. They think their power, wealth, or status can shield them from divine consequences.But look at history:• The mighty Firaun drowned in a body of water.• The advanced civilization of Thamud, with their homes carved into mountains, was destroyed in moments.• Even today, natural disasters remind us how powerless humanity truly is.Our perceived strength is fragile. Real strength lies in submission to Allah.

To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!Welcome to Day 19 of the BeQuranic New Year Challenge 2025!This month, we're working through Surah Al-Mulk, taking it one ayah at a time. Our focus isn't just on memorisation or recitation but truly understanding the meanings and lessons that Allah is teaching us.If you're still here with us, that's amazing—mashallah! If you're just joining, no worries at all. Take your time and start wherever you can. Remember, as the Prophet ﷺ said, the best deeds are the ones that are consistent, even if they're small.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Let's dive into today's ayah—ayah 19.Recitation of Ayah 19أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيمأَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ بَصِيرٌMeaning of the AyahAllah is asking us a simple but powerful question:“Do they not see the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None holds them up except the Most Merciful. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.”Reflection and Lessons1. The Signs of Allah in NatureAllah invites us to look up. Birds spreading their wings and gliding—it's something we see so often that we take it for granted. But think about it: How do they stay in the air? What holds them up?Yes, there's aerodynamics, physics, and wind currents, but at its core, it's Allah's Rahmah that keeps them flying.The point here is this: don't just stop at science. A believer uses their curiosity about the world to marvel at Allah's greatness.
Each name of Allah is a manifestation of His perfection.His (swt) attributes are beyond human comprehension.When we invoke Allah using His names in our Duas…We're not merely uttering words but tapping into the essence of His attributes. Whether we call upon Him as Al-Rahman (the Most Merciful) or Al-Qadir (the All-Powerful), we're acknowledging His sovereignty over all creation and seeking His aid with humility and reverence.In it, we beseech Allah by His beautiful names. Who better to call during our lowest points in life?Furthermore, let us reflect on the common phrase ""God is love."" While some phrases like “God is love” may carry good intentions, they fall short of capturing the entirety of Allah's majesty. Yes, Allah is indeed Al-Wadud (the All-Loving), but to reduce Him to a mere abstract concept like love is to diminish His greatness. Let's not forget to approach Allah with the utmost reverence and awe, acknowledging His names and attributes in their fullness.Let's never underestimate the power of invoking Allah through His names. Take a moment to reflect on the power of Allah's attributes and choose His names carefully. May Allah guide us on this path of enlightenment and bless us with His mercy and grace. Ameen"
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comLet's dive into the next powerful ayah from Surah Al-Mulk.In ayah 2, Allah introduces us to the purpose of life and death—a test. Allah created life and death to see which of us excels in good deeds, showing that every moment in this life is a chance to prove our sincerity, patience, and gratitude. It's a reminder to always strive for the best in everything we do.Now, in ayah 3, Allah turns our attention to His creation. He says:“Al-ladhi khalaqa al-samawati sab'a tibaqa”“He is the One who created the seven heavens in layers.”Let's break this down. The “seven heavens” here refer to the layers of the skies above us—not Jannah (Paradise), but the samawat, the vast layers of the universe. Allah describes them as being stacked in perfect harmony, without any flaw or imperfection. And then He invites us to look up, to observe this creation. He says:“You will not see any disparity in the creation of the Most Merciful.”
And verily your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. [Quran 26:175]
If you want to know how to approach your Duas with an open heart and full faith, then listen to this podcast by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)……as he talks about the mental hurdles we face in making Duas.Sometimes, we hesitate, not fully believing our prayer can be answered. But remember, even Shaytan made Du'a, and Allah answered it. When we reflect on this, we realize that Allah's doors of mercy and acceptance are always open for anyone who calls upon Him.Shaytan, despite being misguided, possesses knowledge and has used it throughout history, as we see in the Battle of Badr. Here, he attempted to mislead the disbelievers against the Muslims but quickly fled when he saw the angels descending. Understanding Shaytan's actions reminds us to never doubt the strength of Allah's protection over the believers.Remember, no matter how much he's cornered you, when you call upon Allah, know that your voice is heard. Never let doubt creep into your heart, thinking you're somehow overlooked by Allah. He is the Most Merciful, and He promises to respond to His servants.
