We've journeyed through Al-Baqarah, Ali Imran, An-Nisa, Al-Ma'idah, and Al-An'am. This year, we enter Surah Al-A'raf: 206 ayat, one of the longer Makki surahs, and a surah that carries a message every generation needs to hear.Grounded is a reader-supported publication.

Ali Imran extends that inward transformation outward — Islam and submission. An-Nisa moves from the individual to the community, beginning with the most vulnerable: orphans and women. Al-Ma'idah scales further outward still — to national and international relations.Then Al-An'am, a Makki surah, brings us back to basics. Back to aqidah. It makes the case for Islam through reason — the logical argument of Prophet Ibrahim, who observed that a god who appears and disappears cannot be God.Surah Al-A'raf continues that argument — but shifts the angle. Where Al-An'am appealed to logic, Al-A'raf appeals to history. What happened to the nations before us? What became of the peoples who refused to listen?Makki vs Madani: What We've Been Getting WrongHere is something worth sitting with: roughly 70% of the Quran is Makki. Only 30% is Madani.The Madani surahs contain our laws — fasting, zakat, hajj, rulings on marriage and wealth and dress. Important, yes. But the bulk of Allah's revelation is Makki, and the Makki surahs are concerned above all with akhlaq — character, ethics, the way we treat one another.The Prophet ﷺ was asked repeatedly: who is the best person? His answers: the one with the most beautiful character. The one who is most useful to others.Yet over 1400 years, we have narrowed our definition of a good Muslim to ritual: how many rakaat, how many khatms, how long the fast, how correct the recitation. We've let the 30% overshadow the 70%. We've mistaken the branches for the roots.Surah Al-A'raf will have something to say about this — particularly in the story of Prophet Adam and his expulsion from Jannah, where we will see what Allah identifies as the most important quality of a believer.

We're in a new year, a new term, and that means new surahs to explore together.But this term is different. Instead of diving into one surah, we'll be studying two: Surah Al-Muzzammil and Surah Al-Muddathir. Why two? Three reasons: first, they're both relatively short. Second, their meanings are closely linked together. And third, in terms of chronology, these surahs were revealed back-to-back. They were among the earliest revelations to the Prophet ﷺ.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Context: Before we dive into Surah Al-Muzzammil, we need to understand when and why it was revealed.From a very young age, the Prophet ﷺ hated the evil practices in his community. He saw people worshipping idols, the rich abusing the poor, the powerful oppressing the weak. Women had no rights—treated as property, sold and traded. Children had no rights whatsoever. Daughters were buried alive.He didn't like it. But he couldn't find a solution.From age 35 onwards, he started doing spiritual seclusion. He would leave Mecca for days at a time, walk five or six kilometers outside the city, climb up a mountain, and settle in Cave Hira. There, he would worship Allah, make dua, and contemplate in the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim .Until one night when he was 40 years old, during the month of Ramadan, he was visited by a creature he didn't recognize. It wasn't a human being. The Prophet later described this creature as huge—so massive that wherever he looked (up, down, left, right), he could only see this being. It had wings that engulfed the entire horizon.The Prophet ﷺ was terrified.This creature—the angel Jibreel—told him: ‘Read.' The Prophet said, ‘I don't read.' The angel then hugged him so tightly he almost couldn't breathe, then released him. Again: ‘Read.' This happened three times. Then the angel recited the first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq, marking the beginning of revelation.The Prophet didn't know what had just happened. Had he gone crazy? Was he hallucinating? Was he possessed by jinn?He rushed home trembling, shivering, terrified, and met his wife Khadija. He said to her: ‘Zammiluni'—cover me with a blanket, cloak me. And she did.As the Prophet calmed down, Khadija asked what happened. He told her about the encounter in the cave. And she reassured him: ‘Allah will never abandon you, for you have the most beautiful akhlaq, the noblest of character.'They went to meet Khadija's uncle, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, a very learned man. Waraqah said: ‘You were visited by the very angels that came to Prophet Musa, Dawud, Isa, and all the previous prophets and messengers. That means you are a prophet, a messenger.'Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Aqeedah 01-03: Understanding Aqeedah: Tawheed and the Danger of Shirk | Lessons from Shaykh Ahmad Al Romh | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. This blog briefly explores Aqeedah—the Islamic creed—focusing on Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the severe warning against Shirk (associating partners with Allah).1. What Is Aqeedah?Aqeedah means belief or creed. It is the firm conviction a Muslim holds in their heart, especially about Allah, His attributes, and His commands. Aqeedah forms the foundation of Islam and affects every aspect of a Muslim's life.“So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, the natural disposition (fitrah) which Allah has instilled in mankind.” — Qur'an 30:302. Tawheed – The Heart of AqeedahTawheed means affirming that Allah is One in His Lordship, Names and Attributes, and in His right to be worshipped alone. It is the message of all Prophets.“And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], ‘Worship Allah and avoid Taghut (false gods).'” — Qur'an 16:36The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:“The Prophets are paternal brothers; their religion is one.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 3443https://sunnah.com/bukhari:34433. Fitrah – Our Natural DispositionEvery human is born upon fitrah, a natural belief in Allah. The environment later influences the child's path.“Every child is born upon the fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” — Sahih Bukhari 1385https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1385Allah has placed in every soul the natural inclination toward monotheism.4. The Straight Path and HanifProphet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is described in the Qur'an as a Hanif, someone who turns away from Shirk toward Tawheed.“Indeed, Abraham was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth (Hanif), and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.” — Qur'an 16:120Muslims ask for this path daily:“Guide us to the straight path.” — Qur'an 1:6A Hanif is one who follows the pure monotheism of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), worshipping Allah alone, free from Judaism, Christianity, and all forms of Shirk.— Sahih al-Bukhari 3827https://sunnah.com/bukhari:38275. Shirk – The Greatest SinShirk is the opposite of Tawheed. It is to associate partners with Allah, and it nullifies one's deeds.“Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.” — Qur'an 4:48The Prophet ﷺ said:“I created all My servants as monotheists, but the devils misled them.” — Sahih Muslim 2865https://sunnah.com/muslim:2865Conclusion:Aqeedah is the root of Islamic faith. Understanding Tawheed and avoiding Shirk leads to salvation. May Allah keep us firm on the straight path. Ameen.

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 simple overview of the Hajj rituals and a light reflection on the meanings behind them. This isn't meant to be a comprehensive fiqh guide — just an easy companion for those wanting to connect deeper with the journey.Today is the 11th of Dhul Hijjah. The hujjaj are now spending most of the night — if not all of it — back in Mina, the city of tents. It's sunnah to stay the whole night, but wajib to remain for at least half of it.Now Mina isn't a place of intense rituals. There's no specific dhikr or du‘a you're required to do. The main challenge here, honestly, is managing basic needs — especially toilets. You've got limited facilities and a massive number of people.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But what should we be doing in Mina?Allah tells us in the Qur'an:فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا ٱللَّهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ آبَاءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا“When you have completed your rites, remember Allah as you used to remember your forefathers — or with even greater remembrance.” [Surah al-Baqarah, 2:200]The Arabs in Jahiliyyah used to sit around their tents in Mina talking about how great their ancestors were — telling tales of glory and lineage. Allah says: that's not the point. Don't just talk about the greatness of those who came before. Remember Allah instead.We see this same thing today in our Ummah. “Oh, we had amazing scholars in the past… Muslim scientists… Al-Khawarizmi, Ibn Sina, so on…” That's wonderful — but what are we doing now?So while in Mina, do dhikr. Be in remembrance. Don't just glorify the past — contribute to the present.From the 11th, 12th, and optionally the 13th of Dhul Hijjah, the hujjaj will be doing the stoning at the Jamarat. On the 10th, they only stoned the largest one — Jamrat al-‘Aqabah. But on the 11th and 12th, they now go to all three: the small, middle, and large pillars.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What's the story behind this?It goes back to Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام.On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, when he was on his way to fulfil the dream and sacrifice his son Ismail, Shaytan tried to intervene. At three different points, Shaytan appeared to him, whispering doubts:“You've done enough. You've sacrificed so much. You built the Kaaba. You passed all your tests. Why are you doing this? Why would Allah ask this of you?”At each of those three points, Ibrahim picked up seven small stones, threw them in the direction of Shaytan and said:Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.And he moved on.Three times — three locations. That's why we have three Jamarat.This wasn't just symbolic. There's a deeper lesson here:When Shaytan comes to you with doubt, with temptation — don't just pray. Move.Ibrahim didn't stay in place. He changed location. He physically moved away from the source of temptation.And we are taught the same thing in our tradition. If you find yourself in a place that leads you to sin, change your place. Remove yourself from toxic environments, from harmful friends, from dangerous routines.The Prophet ﷺ said:المرءُ على دِينِ خَليلِهِ، فليَنظُرْ أحدُكم مَن يُخالِلُ“A person is upon the religion of his close companion, so be mindful who you befriend.” [Tirmidhi]Even in spiritual matters — like nightmares — the Prophet ﷺ told us: if you wake up terrified, don't just make du‘a. Turn to your left, blow lightly three times, and change your sleeping position. Don't stay in the same spot.Again — you're taught to move.So this action of stoning the Jamarat teaches us two powerful lessons:* Shaytan won't stop after the first try.He'll come back, again and again, with new angles and new whispers.* If you persist in dhikr and take real action, he'll eventually stop.The whispering of that particular sin will fade — as long as you remain steadfast.Be aware of your surroundings. Be conscious of your mental state. If you know you fall into sin when you're alone, change that habit. Call a friend. Go to the masjid. Be around better people. You're not expected to win against Shaytan on sheer willpower alone. He's had millennia of practice.Ibrahim taught us that — when Shaytan whispers, you say Allahu Akbar, and then… you move.May Allah protect us from the whispers of Shaytan, and guide us to environments and companions that bring us closer to Him.Ameen.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

  Hello, and welcome to episode 173 of the Childless not by Choice Podcast. My name is Civilla Morgan. My mission is to recognize and speak to childless not by choice women and men worldwide, reminding us that we can live joyful, relevant, fulfilled, childless not by choice lives.   Whether you have children or not, thank you for tuning in!     What is today's show about? My conversation with Mind Body Revival Coach Aisha Balesaria   Thank you, Patreon contributors: I want to thank my Patreon contributors, who contribute monthly to the platform.  Your contributions help pay the salaries of my podcast producer and host, Zoom, where I interview most of my guests, and other expenses.

Intro (for guest episodes): I started coaching because I wanted to support others to achieve what they really want, but they weren't sure how to do it! Around 6 years ago a coach at work really helped me gain clarity about my future when I was uncertain about how it would look. The uncertainty occurred when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage four endometriosis, it was a huge shock that affected my career and personal life.  So, why mindbodyrevival_coach, I'm often asked? I integrate the mind-body connection in my work. The way the body responds to how we think, feel, and act can impact our entire well-being.  During my practice, I can also use journaling and breath work to support my clients move through their thoughts when they're feeling stuck. I work from an intersectional perspective because, like my own situation, I understand the nuances of each individual's circumstances. Body of episode:   Tell us about your passion for Coaching and what Revival means to you.   So, in the world of childless not by choice, those of us who wanted but could not have children are on a similar journey caused typically by different illnesses. For me it was fibroids and time. On your website you say for you it was Endometriosis and Adenomyosis?           Can you tell us your story, as much as you would like to share?   You are transitioning or should I say evolving from CNBC to life after infertility…tell us more.    I love the cheat sheet questions to ask your doctor at doctor visits. I always say we should have a list of questions and never fear getting a second opinion.   In our pre-chat you explained a little about Eid. I suppose Eid al Fitr. I also see there is an Eid al-Adha, commemorating the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son. That story I know, but tell us more about Eid al Fitr.   You mentioned that you grew up in a multicultural home. Tell us how that may speak to your intersectional perspective. If it does.    Talk to us about your book, the 1 in 8. And tell us about any upcoming projects you may have coming up.   As we close, is there anything that you would like to make sure we cover?   Research links: https://www.islamic-relief.org.uk/giving/islamic-giving/ramadan/eid-al-fitr/     Aisha's Contact Information: https://mindbodyrevivalcoach.com/ Instagram:  @mindbodyrevival_coach     Special thank you to: Aisha Balesaria My contact information: Website: www.childlessnotbychoice.net and www.civillamorgan.com Facebook: booksbycivillamorgan Instagram: @joyandrelevance Pinterest: Civilla M.

TLDR;* Today, we explore Ayah 40 of Surah Al-Baqarah, which discusses the Israelites. Israel, or Prophet Yaqub, had 12 sons, leading to the 12 tribes of Israel. * Prophet Musa is frequently mentioned in the Quran due to his mission's resemblance to Prophet Muhammad's.* The Quran teaches us about the Israelites to learn from their mistakes. * Ayah 40 reminds the Israelites of the blessings they received, including numerous prophets and scriptures. * The shift from the Israelites to the followers of Prophet Muhammad emphasizes our responsibility to be the best in our personal and community lives, representing our religion and Prophet ﷺ with excellence.We are now on day 66 and we are exploring Ayah number 40 of Surah Al-Baqarah.This ayah is the first to discuss the Israelites, and this will be a long journey in Surah Al-Baqarah. The largest portion of the Surah talks about the children of Israel. Before we delve deeper into the ayah about Banu Israel, let's explore the historical figure.Who is Israel and who are the Banu Israel or the children of Israel? Israel is the nickname of Prophet Yaqub, the son of Prophet Ishaq and the grandson of Prophet Ibrahim, who is known as Abu al-Ambiya, the father of prophets. From Prophet Ibrahim's two sons, you have Prophet Ismail, from whose line comes Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and from Prophet Ishaq's line, you get Prophet Yaqub.Yaqub's nickname is Israel, which means "servant of God" in Hebrew (isr = servant, il = God). Prophet Yaqub had 12 sons, and from these 12 sons came the 12 tribes of Israel. One of Yaqub's sons was Judah (Yehuda in Hebrew, Yahud in Arabic), from whom the Jews descend. After the Assyrians attacked Palestine and Jerusalem, only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained, leading to all Israelites being known as Jews.The Quran mentions the Israelites the most, and the prophet most mentioned is Prophet Musa. There is a hadith where the Prophet ﷺ said, "It's as if the entire Quran is talking about Musa." The mission of Prophet Muhammad resembles that of Prophet Musa, both being spiritual and political leaders, receiving revelations and sharia.The Israelites are mentioned frequently because of their similarities to the Muslims. Just as the Israelites were the people of the book in their time, Muslims are today. The Quran teaches us about the Israelites not to condemn Jews today, but to learn from their mistakes.In Ayah 40, Allah says, "O children of Israel, remember the blessings I have bestowed upon you." The Israelites received numerous blessings, including the most prophets and scriptures apart from the Quran, and many miracles.The preference for the Israelites was due to their role in setting an example of living in harmony with Allah's teachings as a community. However, due to their repeated failures, the preference shifted to the followers of Prophet Muhammad.The lessons from this ayah for us include remembering our covenant with Allah, fulfilling our responsibilities, and striving to be the best in our personal and community lives, setting an example of morality and trustworthiness.As the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, we are chosen to be the best of nations, as mentioned in Surah Ali Imran. This responsibility requires us to represent our religion and Prophet ﷺ in the best way possible, whether at school, work, or in any aspect of our lives.

An atheist once asked me why does he get this deep sense of calling out to God if he imagines himself shipwrecked and stuck in the middle of the sea? Even an atheist asks. We all ask the same question. Some make up their own beliefs, others hold on to a supernatural deity or superstitious belief to make sense of this inner calling. Yet still, deep inside they know there is something missing, so much so that moment it is questioned and rattled they may either submit to the fact they are in error and need to search for a better truth or they become angry and boastful attacking whoever opposes. This first part of this lecture talks about the childhood of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) showing this magnificent natural sense Allah created all humans upon, in order to help guide them and not go astray. It is called the ‘Fitra'. The young Prophet Ibrahim (AS) endures with the backlash of holding on to this inner truth which makes him grow in intelligence and powerful convictions, yet which rattle his people's beliefs and question themselves. It also connects with us showing the hardships of life such as domestic and family abuse, bullying, plots of haters and how Allah never leaves our side if we stick to Him.

The second part of this lecture shows us what it truly means to have trust in Allah and that in true submission to Him lie the keys to our own benefit and salvation. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is willing to slaughter his son if it pleases Allah and knows the wisdom behind it is inconceivable and beyond his comprehension, yet his trust and faith in Allah makes him not hesitate. It shows the value Islam places on a mother, in the story of Hajar (AS) and Ismail (AS). The result is the building of the Ka'bah and the unity of the world 5000 years on, manifesting the symbol of the oneness of Allah, unity and brotherhood and the true meaning of Islam.
