The Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): Understanding His Noble Lineage and Early LifeIntroductionIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Studying the Seerah (biography) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is an essential part of understanding Islam. His life serves as a timeless example of virtue, patience, and unwavering faith. This blog highlights key aspects of the Prophet's lineage, early life, and significant events, with references from the Quran and authentic Hadith.1. The Noble Lineage of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) belonged to the prestigious Quraysh tribe, tracing his lineage back to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) through Ismail (AS). His noble ancestry is affirmed in the Quran:"Indeed, Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imrân above all people of their time." (Quran 3:33)His ancestors were known for their moral integrity, and no instance of illegitimacy tainted his lineage.2. His Blessed Birth and the Year of the ElephantProphet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in the year of the Elephant, marked by Allah's divine intervention when Abraha's army attempted to destroy the Kaaba."Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?" (Quran 105:1)While the exact date remains disputed, many scholars agree he was born on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal.3. Orphanhood and Allah's CareHis father, Abdullah, passed away before his birth, and his mother, Amina, died when he was six. Despite these losses, Allah provided care through his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and later his uncle Abu Talib."Did He not find you as an orphan and then sheltered you?" (Quran 93:6)4. The Story of the Wet NursesIn accordance with the Arab tradition of sending infants to the desert for better upbringing, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was nursed by Haleemah Sa'diyah. This practice is supported by Quranic guidance on breastfeeding:"Mothers shall breastfeed their children for two whole years, for those who wish to complete the nursing period." (Quran 2:233)While reports about his miraculous birth exist, scholars classify some of these narrations as weak (da'eef).https://islamqa.info/en/answers/247681/is-it-proven-that-when-the-prophet-blessings-and-peace-of-allah-be-upon-him-was-born-he-rested-on-his-arms-raising-his-head-to-heaven5. The Incident of the Chest OpeningWhen Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was around four years old, Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared, opened his chest, and purified his heart.Anas b. Malik reported: "Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) while he was playing with his playmates. He took hold of him, opened his breast, removed a blood-clot, and said: 'That was the part of Satan in you.' Then he washed it with Zamzam water and restored it." (Sahih Muslim 162c)6. Significance of Avoiding InnovationsNeither the Prophet (PBUH) nor his companions celebrated his birthday. Introducing acts of worship not practiced by him is considered innovation (Bid'ah)."This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved Islam as your religion." (Quran 5:3)ConclusionReflecting on the Seerah deepens our understanding of the Prophet's (PBUH) journey and enhances our appreciation for his exemplary character. May we strive to embody his teachings in our daily lives."Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often." (Quran 33:21)May Allah guide us to follow the footsteps of His beloved Messenger. Ameen.ReferencesQuran 3:33, 5:3, 33:21, 93:6, 105:1Sahih Muslim 162cAuthentic Seerah sourcesIslamQA Fatwa InsightsWritten by Zayd Haji, Postgraduate Student at Zad Academy.

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.

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.”
Lesson 66: [OBLIGATIONS TOWARDS THE COMPANIONS AND A MENTION OF THEIR VIRTUES] One of the fundamentals of Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jama'ah is the purity of their hearts and tongues towards the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is with this that Allah, Most High, has described them: 'Those who have come after them say: 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in Imaan. Do not put any resentment in our hearts towards those who have Imaan. Our Lord, You are All-Gentle, Most Merciful.' ' [al-Hashr: 10] They also obey the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: 'Do not abuse my Companions, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, if any one of you spend gold like Uhud (in charity) it will not equal a mudd, or even a half, of what they spend in charity.' [Bukhari, Muslim] Lesson Notes: bit.ly/Wasitiyya_Notes Lesson Date: 27/11/2024
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.
Say: "It (this Qur'ân) has been sent down by Him (Allâh) (the Real Lord of the heavens and earth) Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [Quran 25:6]
Except those who repent and believe (in Islâmic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allâh will change their sins into good deeds, and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Quran 25:70]
Dear listeners God's Mercy comes in different shapes and sizes to us all. Sometimes it's in the form of help from a stranger or it can be in the form of a good deed that you easily do.ReflectWhat good deed do you find yourself doing easily? What shape and size is God's Mercy on you today?What can I say about this sura when it leaves me humble and it ends with bowing down to Allah the Most Magnificent the Most Merciful.

Juz 18 begins with Surah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers), outlining the qualities of true believers: humility in prayer, avoidance of vain talk, paying zakah, chastity, keeping promises, and protecting prayers. It emphasizes the creation of humans from clay, embryonic stages, and the signs of Allah's existence. The surah discusses the fate of past nations who denied their prophets and faced destruction, contrasting with the reward of the righteous. Surah An-Nur (The Light) follows, focusing on social ethics, including the severe punishment for adultery, the importance of chastity, and the false accusations against chaste women. It also addresses the incident of the false accusation against Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad. The surah promotes modesty, respect for privacy, and proper etiquette in personal interactions. The juz concludes with Surah Al-Furqan (The Criterion), which distinguishes truth from falsehood. It criticizes those who reject the Quran, describing their arguments and the consequences of their disbelief. The surah highlights Allah's attributes, the signs in nature, and the creation of night and day. It describes the qualities of the "Servants of the Most Merciful," who walk humbly, avoid ignorance, and prostrate to Allah. This juz emphasizes belief, ethical behavior, social justice, and the signs of Allah in creation, urging adherence to divine guidance and warning against the consequences of rejecting it.

The first juz of the Quran, also known as "Alif Lam Mim," encompasses the opening chapter, Al-Fatiha, and the first part of Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), spanning verses 1 to 141. ### Al-Fatiha (The Opening) Al-Fatiha, the opening chapter, is a prayer and introduction to the Quran. It consists of seven verses and holds immense significance as it encapsulates the essence of the Quran. The chapter begins with praises for Allah, the Lord of all worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, and the Master of the Day of Judgment. It acknowledges Allah's sovereignty and seeks His guidance to stay on the righteous path, distinct from those who have gone astray or incurred His wrath. This chapter is recited in every unit of the Muslim prayer, reflecting its central role in Islamic worship. ### Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) Surah Al-Baqarah is the longest chapter in the Quran, and the first juz introduces several key themes and narratives that are expanded upon in the rest of the chapter. **Introduction and Guidance** The chapter begins with the mysterious letters "Alif Lam Mim," whose exact meaning is known only to Allah. It establishes the Quran as a guidance for those conscious of Allah, who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend from what Allah has provided. It categorizes people into three groups: the believers, the disbelievers, and the hypocrites. The believers accept the guidance, the disbelievers reject it, and the hypocrites pretend to believe but harbor disbelief in their hearts. **Creation and Fall of Adam** The narrative of the creation of Adam and his subsequent fall from paradise is detailed. Allah announces to the angels His intention to create a vicegerent on Earth, leading to Adam's creation. Adam is taught the names of all things, showcasing his superiority over the angels in knowledge. Despite the angels' initial reservations, they bow to Adam, except for Iblis (Satan), who refuses out of arrogance, becoming an eternal adversary to humanity. Adam and his wife are placed in paradise but are deceived by Iblis, leading to their expulsion to Earth. This story underscores themes of obedience, knowledge, and the consequences of sin. **Covenant with the Children of Israel** The juz addresses the Children of Israel, reminding them of Allah's favors and their covenant. They are urged to fulfill their promises to Allah and adhere to the guidance sent through the prophets. The narrative recalls their liberation from Pharaoh, the provision of manna and quails, and the incident of the golden calf. It emphasizes their recurring disobedience and ingratitude despite Allah's continuous blessings. **The Parable of the Cow** The juz narrates the story from which the chapter takes its name. The Children of Israel are commanded to sacrifice a cow, but their continual questioning and reluctance highlight their lack of faith and obedience. This parable is a lesson in submission to divine commands without unnecessary hesitation or doubt. **Lessons and Guidance** Throughout the first juz, the Quran offers numerous lessons in faith, obedience, and righteousness. It calls for steadfastness in prayer, charity, patience, and humility. It stresses the importance of guidance and warns against the consequences of hypocrisy and disbelief. The narrative emphasizes that true success lies in adhering to Allah's guidance and maintaining a sincere and obedient relationship with Him. In summary, the first juz of the Quran introduces fundamental themes of divine guidance, human responsibility, and the importance of faith and obedience. It sets the stage for the comprehensive teachings that follow, urging believers to reflect on the narratives and lessons presented to lead a life in accordance with Allah's will. Voiced by Tariq I.

At times, we may feel that our feelings and efforts go unnoticed. But the reality is, we are way more worthy in the eyes of Allah SWT. No matter what you are going through, always remember the amount of times Allah SWT has blessed you and continues to bless you. He cares about you, and wants the best for you, in this dunya and the akhira. Turn to Him, be open with Him, sincere with Him, and watch how miracles start occurring in your life. Allah SWT says in the Qu'ran: "Despair not of the mercy of God, for God forgives all sins, for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (39:53)
