This Ramadan, help us expand our Muslim media project here:Become a Monthly Member: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipDonate via LaunchGood: https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/grow_the_thinking_muslim_podcastIn this short segment, Sami Hamdi emphasises that the month in which the Qur'an was revealed is a month of action, not rest. He explains that Ramadan was never intended to be a period of passivity or withdrawal, but a time rooted in purpose and transformation. The revelation itself came as a challenge to injustice and oppression, calling people to reform both themselves and the societies around them.By reminding us that the Qur'an descended in Ramadan, he highlights that this month is connected to movement, struggle, and moral clarity. The Prophet ﷺ did not suspend his mission during Ramadan. Rather, it was a time of intensified resolve and commitment. Fasting is therefore not about slowing down, but about disciplining the self so that one can act with greater strength, courage, and dedication to justice.You can find Sami Hamdi here:X: https://x.com/SALHACHIMIIG: https://www.instagram.com/salhachimiBecome a member here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipOr give your one-off donation here:https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/grow_the_thinking_muslim_podcastSubscribe to our Dubbed ChannelsArabic: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimArabicFrench: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimFrançaisSpanish: https://www.youtube.com/@TheThinkingMuslimEspañolListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comDisclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.

Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 6th, 2026• The coming week marks the birth anniversary of the living Imām of our time, Imām Muḥammad al-Mahdi (a).• The Prophet (s) foretold that with the appearance of the Mahdi, the world will be filled with justice and peace after being filled with injustice and tyranny.• Justice is a central divine objective, and Allāh sent the prophets so that people may establish justice, as stated in Qur'ān 57:25.• On a global scale, modern superpowers display clear hypocrisy by selectively supporting international justice only when it serves their interests.• One of the primary responsibilities of any government is to ensure the basic needs of its people are met.• Imām ‘Ali (a), despite ruling only five years and facing multiple rebellions, established a level of social justice still remembered today.• Under Imām ‘Ali's rule, even the poorest in Kufa had food, shelter, and access to water, reflecting true governance based on justice.• External pressure, sanctions, and enemies do not absolve officials from ensuring basic necessities, especially food security.• Senior marāji‘ in Qum expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's economic policies and harsh social approaches during a parliamentary visit.• Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi emphasized that the marāji‘ repeatedly admonish the government, even if official media ignores their statements.• Genuine public frustration and protest can be understood, but mass misinformation and manipulation by hostile forces must also be recognized.• Enemies exploit public grievances to divert sincere protests toward destructive ends.• Criticizing or removing an official does not imply weakness in faith or character, only incapacity to fulfill specific duties.• Imām ‘Ali (a) set an example of praising sincere individuals while also holding them accountable for failures in responsibility.• The case of Kumayl bin Ziyād shows that strong faith and loyalty do not guarantee administrative competence, highlighting the need for proper oversight and role assignment.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 13th, 2026- We are five days away from the blessed month of Ramaḍān and a slight adjustment to the ṣalāt timings will take effect from the start of the month.- The old timetable, revised in the 1990s in consultation with scholars in Toronto, used astronomical twilight for fajr, but its characteristics were closer to false dawn (al-fajr al-kāzib).- With the availability of Shī‘a-based programs from the LEWA Institute in Qum and the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran, a more refined criterion is now possible.- Based on long-term observation, the LEWA Institute's standard is preferred because it aligns with what an average person can discern naturally, in line with sharī‘ah principles.- The Open Fajr Project in Birmingham used 360-degree cameras and over 25,000 images to develop an observation-based fajr timetable accepted by both Shī‘a and Sunni mosques.- For now, out of iḥtiyāṭ, LEWA's fajr time has been adopted for ṣalāt, with imsāk set five minutes earlier to ensure proper fasting.- This adjustment was shared and discussed with scholars of the GTA and reflected in the JCC Ramaḍān guide.- Moving from astronomical fajr to the eschatological fajr, the current global political disorder reflects a world where power operates without moral constraint.- In such times, believers long for the reappearance of Imām al-Mahdi (a) to establish justice and end tyranny, supported by the return of Prophet ‘Īsā (Jesus), who will pray behind him.- The du‘ā from Imām al-Mahdi (a) is divided into a general section and supplications for fifteen segments of society.- After discussing the preamble and themes related to the tongue, heart, belly, and hands, the focus shifted to lowering the gaze.- The misuse of the eyes is a breach of trust, especially in an age of technology where immorality is easily accessible.- The Qur'ānic command in Sūrat al-Nūr (24:30–31) first instructs believing men, then believing women, to lower their gaze and guard their modesty.- Despite scientific advancement, moral decline in gender relations is evident in Western societies, seen in movements like #MeToo and scandals such as the Jeffrey Epstein case.- A ḥadīth qudsī reminds that Allāh has given humans natural restraints—eyelids and lips—to help control the eyes, tongue, and desires from falling into ḥarām.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

The Qur'an famously declares, “There is no compulsion in religion.” Yet, various forms of religious compulsion persist today in parts of the Muslim world, including death penalties for apostates and blasphemers, legal inequalities that disadvantage women and non-Muslims, and “morality police” who enforce strict norms on society.In this new book from the Cato Institute, Mustafa Akyol has assembled a team of Islamic scholars and intellectuals to articulate arguments against oppressive interpretations of Islam. Drawing on scriptural insights and contemporary realities, they contend that the Qur'anic principle of “no compulsion in religion” should be embraced fully, without exceptions.At this forum, Akyol will summarize key arguments from the book. Mirwais Balkhi will offer his commentary on the book's significance for Afghanistan and the broader Muslim world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Born into a family of imams and radicalised in the Muslim Brotherhood, Sharif never imagined he would meet Jesus in a solitary prison cell. In Part 1 of this two‑part conversation, he shares how jihad, political activism, and imprionment led him to a series of mysterious encounters and a long, painful journey through the Qur'an that ended at the feet of Christ.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S4) Abu Jahl once slapped Faatima رضي الله عنها. She told her father ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ tells her to tell Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه. (Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه at this point hadn't embraced Islam). Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه took Faatima's رضي الله عنها hand and told her to hit Abu Jahl as he hit her! Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه said if he tries to harm you, I am here. Faatima رضي الله عنها then slapped Abu Jahl. The Messenger ﷺ made the dua: “O Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, never forget this deed of Abu Sufyaan”. (رضي الله عنه). Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه hears the Messenger ﷺ reciting the Qur'an.

On this episode of The Hall of Mysteries, Aba al-Sadiq (fhip) gives us the key to understanding the Qur'an, the past, the present, and the future. This episode introduces typology—the divinely intended method for reading the Qur'an through recurring patterns in prophetic history—and explains why God repeats the same stories across the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an. From Adam and Noah to Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad ﷺ, history is revealed not as coincidence, but as design. Through this key, long-standing mysteries suddenly make sense: why Al-Khidr lived so long, why the Qur'an speaks without naming names, why figures like Pharaoh and Aaron reappear in every era, and why the Mahdi is never recognized when he first appears. This episode reframes prophecy, revelation, and history itself—showing that the stories of the prophets were preserved not only as records of the past, but as guidance for what is unfolding now and what is yet to come.

What if death in scripture is not what you think it is? In this episode of The Hall of Mysteries, we explore how life, death, and resurrection are understood across the Qur'an, the Bible, and ancient wisdom traditions. Through the story of Abraham, prophetic visions, and key scriptural moments, the episode invites viewers to rethink what “death” truly means in the language of revelation. Drawing from multiple sacred texts and traditions, this discussion traces a hidden thread connecting exile, restoration, and divine calling—pointing toward a deeper understanding of resurrection that goes beyond the surface reading. This is an episode about meaning, calling, and the power behind divine speech—one that challenges common assumptions and opens the door to a far older and more mysterious view of life and return.

On this episode of The Hall of Mysteries, we continue our journey with the Mahdi, Aba Al-Sadiq, exploring a hidden cosmology that speaks of a reality behind revelation and a source beyond the written scripture. The discussion turns toward the concept of Umm al-Kitab — the “Mother of the Book” — and the idea that sacred texts, the heavens, and creation itself originate from a higher, unseen order. As the episode unfolds, themes of light, descent, rebellion, and return are examined through the lens of ancient esoteric teachings. Viewers are invited to reconsider familiar notions of the Qur'an, the seven heavens, and the material world, and to reflect on why certain knowledge was guarded, transmitted quietly, and understood only by those prepared to seek beneath the surface.

Adam Bursi's Traces of the Prophets: Relics and Sacred Spaces in Early Islam (Edinburg University Press, 2024) uses writings by early Muslims to map a history of material objects, relics, and tombs of prophetic figures as they were conceptualized in the 8th and 9th centuries. The book draws from various genres of writings, including biographies and hadith of the Prophet Muhammad and Qur'an commentaries and juristic compilations to capture the tensions and practices around tomb and relic veneration. Some of the discussion of Muslim relic veneration are polemical as they aim to establish some boundaries around similar pious practices amongst Jewish and Christian communities. In the process, we learn that there were indeed debates with regards to the post-mortem “traces” or “athar” of Muhammad's tomb, which then impacted how spaces associated with him were also perceived, as well as other prophetic figures like Ibrahim (Abraham) or Daniel. Such examples raise conceptual questions of absence and presence and Prophet Muhammad's capacity for intercession and obligatory versus non-obligatory rituals. In charting these early Muslim debates and narratives, Bursi masterfully captures the differing approaches Muslims had to holy bodies and sacred spaces. The book will be of interest to scholars who think about early Islamic history and also for scholars who work on contemporary Islamic material and shrine cultures.

Faisal sits down with Hamza Tzortzis for one of those conversations that starts with "bro you lost weight?"… and ends up deep in ḥikmah, the algorithm, tadabbur, and why modern Muslims are quietly outsourcing their brains to AI. Hamza breaks down: why "1/3 food, 1/3 water, 1/3 air" is a limit, not a target how hunger can be reframed as your body repairing itself his "B + C + D" framework for living with intention (and keeping everything Allāh-centric) why short-form content can't be your whole dā'wah strategy how the algorithm reshapes your morals without you noticing why natural beauty and Qur'anic beauty are antidotes to ego + modernity why "scientific miracles in the Qur'an" can be a trap, and the more robust approach he built (and wrote a whole PhD on) what Sapience Institute is doing behind the scenes, and the launch of Sapience Academy to train 10,000 intellectual ambassadors by 2030 If you've ever felt like the internet is making everyone louder, harsher, and dumber… this one will recalibrate you.

Sheikh Muiz Bukhary explores in this sermon, the chillingly precise warnings contained within Sūrat Al-ʿAsr. While many treat time as a neutral resource, the Qur'ān describes it as a "Squeeze", a high-pressure environment where the human being is in a constant state of liquidation. We move from the markets of the past to the digital distractions of 2026 to answer one question: If our existence is melting away every second, what have we actually "bought" with our lives?

What does it truly mean to be from the People of the Qur'an?In this episode, we reflect on the powerful reality that the people of Qur'an are described by the Prophet ﷺ as “the people of Allah and His chosen/special ones.” But being chosen by the Qur'an is not about perfection, titles, or how much we've memorized—it's about hearts Allah allowed to stay connected to His words.We'll talk about what it means to be chosen, the responsibility that comes with carrying the Qur'an, and how even in moments of struggle, distance, or inconsistency, Allah's invitation remains open. This episode is a reminder that if the Qur'an is in your life—calling you back, comforting you, or challenging you—it is not by accidentVideo Podcast on the Qur'an (precursor to this episode):https://youtu.be/tImrIY5M6dg?si=BRrpjg-ybhPBJCnv

Human beings move as a flock. What feels like freedom is motion inside a herd. People act the way they do because of pressure, habit, fear, desire, reward, or past experience. When we make decisions, we are responding to systemic forces already acting on us, even when theologians insist on calling this a free choice, the so-called “free will.” Long before a choice is named, the path is worn.Governments, workplaces, laws, economies, religions, philosophies, ideologies, and social norms all rely on the same logic. If certain behaviors are rewarded and others punished, people will respond in predictable ways. Obedience inside these systems is never neutral. People comply because it benefits them, protects them, or helps them avoid loss. Even rebellion, blind to what it is building, follows recognizable patterns and is absorbed back into the systems it supposedly opposes.But beneath these systems sits something deeper and more diabolical: the human logos. Explanation. Justification. Language itself as causality. Words that govern reality, binding reasons to actions, beliefs to outcomes, and sacrifices to meaning. This is how systems hold together. They are not only structures of power, but temples built of language, narratives, and shared explanations. Propaganda. A world where everything makes sense.Belief, in this sense, is not faith. It is how humans explain themselves to themselves, a projection of the lamp of the body, quieting fear, justifying loss, making obedience reasonable. Over time, this explanatory language becomes a prison people inhabit. A Temple made of human hands, not of stone, but of coherence. An idol constructed from meaning.Inside this Temple, every sacrifice is justified. Every command explained. Every loss serves a purpose. Even love is rationalized. Domesticated. Hope reframed as likelihood. Language does not merely describe the system. It sanctifies it.These systems can even tolerate sacrifice, as long as the sacrifice is made for something abstract: the nation, the tribe, the future, the greater good, the “building” up or the “survival” of the community. Abstract loyalty is calculable. It can be taught, praised, rewarded, and demanded. A person who gives themselves for an idea or a cause is still operating inside logic the system understands and human language can defend.Torah insists that a true command cannot arise from within this Temple or employ its language. Scripture does not perceive human beings as autonomous agents standing outside the flock, freely acting. It finds people as they are: already bound, already oriented, already enslaved to something. That is why Torah does not ask whether people are free, but whom they serve. Egypt is not replaced by false autonomy, but by covenant. Pharaoh is not replaced by the self, the builder of temples, but by the Voice of the Shepherd, that commands, calling us out of the temples that entomb us. According to Scripture, if a rule makes sense because it works, helps, or produces good outcomes, then following it is still a calculation. It may be wise or effective, but it is not obedience. It is sycophancy. That is why the Voice of the Shepherd is heard in the wilderness, away from stable systems and the human Temple of explanation. In the wilderness, people cannot rely on strategy or outcomes. They can only hear and respond. To those who live inside the system, this looks like slavery, or worse, insanity. Far from it.It is trust.This is where love of neighbor enters, and it does not enter as an idea, let alone a Platonic ideal. A neighbor is not humanity in the abstract. A neighbor is not the future, the cause, or the system. A neighbor is the real person who stands before you and whose claim cannot be translated into principle without being lost.Your neighbor is not defined by worth, identity, or moral condition, but by proximity under obedience to the Command. Love of neighbor is irrational by decree. It does not weigh consequences. It does not ask whether the whole will survive. It does not justify itself in language the system can use. Systems assume that when forced to choose, people will sacrifice the one for the many. Love of neighbor refuses that exchange. It does not assume God's purview. It does not control. It does not judge. It does not choose the right thing. It submits to the Command: love for the one encountered. This is why love of neighbor looks dangerous from inside the Temple. It threatens coherence. It interrupts explanation. It is willing to let the world burn rather than betray the one who stands before you. It does not argue. It does not explain. It does not rebel. The moment it does, it has already been absorbed back into the prison of the human logos. Hope enters here, not as optimism and not as confidence in success. Hope is what remains when explanation fails. Hope is the willingness to act without knowing whether the act will save or destroy everything. It interrupts causality by refusing to let outcomes or narratives decide what matters. Love of neighbor does not act because things will turn out well. It acts because of the Command.The Command does not abolish cause and effect, but it interrupts it. Scripture introduces something causality and human language cannot produce: a binding word that is not an effect, not a tool, and not a story we tell ourselves. It is not obeyed because it succeeds or pays off, but because it is spoken and heard, through the claim of a real person, a flesh and blood prophet, rather than the demands of an abstract group.When people live inside societies and institutions, this kind of hearing becomes difficult. Explanation returns. Outcomes take precedence. Faithfulness is measured by effectiveness. Hope is reduced to human belief in a future that can be imagined and defended. The Temple quietly rebuilds itself.Scripture keeps pointing back to the wilderness to remind people that freedom is not about mastering systems or rejecting them, but about remaining able to hear and act when human language blinds and deafens us, to act with conviction when explanation fails, and to obey the Command of the Shepherd even when the world can no longer be justified.This is the promise in which we hope, faith in things not seen: that through his Command God alone will achieve victory for his many flocks, which in his sight are one flock:“For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” (Romans 8:24-25)Episode 576 is a searching and uncompromising meditation on language, submission, and judgment, spoken from the land itself rather than from the safety of abstraction. Recorded in Jordan on New Year's Day, the conversation between Father Marc Boulos and Father Timothy Lowe unfolds as both personal reckoning and scriptural indictment.At its core, the episode argues that modern Christianity has betrayed the text it claims to serve by severing itself from the languages in which Scripture was spoken. Translation is not neutral, and reliance on English is not innocent. To speak in God's name while neglecting Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic is to risk uttering words God never said. For the preacher, this is not an academic shortcoming but a spiritual danger, because every utterance stands under divine accounting.The discussion presses further, insisting that biblical languages are not tools but living realities that carry wisdom through shared Semitic roots. By tracing these roots across the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an...

The Name Allah appears more than two thousand times in the Qur'an. Let that sink in. It's in almost every duʿa you make, every dhikr you repeat, every moment you turn back to your Lord. Yet most of us say it thousands of times in our lives without ever stopping to ask the simplest question. Do I actually understand the One I'm calling upon? We move from ayah to ayah, dhikr to dhikr, prayers, hopes, fears… all built on a Name we use constantly but rarely study. And that gap changes everything about our worship. The Qur'an doesn't teach you how to pray before it teaches you who you're praying to. It begins with Names that carry the meanings of divinity, servitude, and the exclusive right to be worshipped. Knowing these Names is not the end of your journey. It's the moment it truly starts. Because once you know what they mean, another question hits even harder: What do these Names ask from you? In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores the Names Allah and Al-Ilah, and how understanding them reshapes worship, dependence, and the very way you see yourself as a servant of your Lord. Everyone submits to Allah, willingly or unwillingly. These Names reveal which path you're really walking. Watch this. Let it change how you worship.

We are only seven days into our New Year and look at all that's unfolded: • Just after the stroke of midnight of this New Year, a socialist took the oath of office on the Qur'an to be Mayor over our nation's largest city. The ceremony was said to be narrated by an iconic transgender New Yorker. • The Governor of New York lit up 16 state landmarks in the color green to promote Muslim American Heritage Month. This happened in a state that just 24 years earlier was attacked by Islamic terrorists and nearly 3000 were killed. • Tensions are rising between China and Taiwan. • Russia and Ukraine remain at war. • This past weekend, in what was called "a law enforcement operation," the President of Venezuela was snatched from his compound, brought to the United States and indicted on narco-terrorism charges. • This morning two sanctioned oil tankers were seized by U.S. Forces in the Atlantic. • Also this morning a woman in Minneapolis, who allegedly was using her vehicle to ram ICE agents, was shot and killed. • Each day that passes seems to find more and more fraud in Minnesota, in essence the stealing of tax dollars. • This week the head of the LA Fire Department revealed that the analysis of the Palisades Fire that ignited a year ago, the third most destructive in California's history, was edited multiple times to protect the leadership. • And we are on the brink next week of the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral arguments about biological males in women's sports. There's this and so much more. What a reminder as to how bad this world stands in need of Jesus. How very thankful we should be that amidst all these storms in life God's Word remains, and His Word is truth.

Surah Yunus (Chapter 10) emphasizes Allah's oneness, mercy, and absolute control over creation. It calls people to reflect on the signs in the universe, believe in divine revelation, and follow the guidance of the Qur'an. The surah highlights the consequences of belief and disbelief, recounts the stories of past prophets, especially Prophet Yunus (Jonah) and reminds that sincere faith and repentance lead to salvation, while arrogance leads to loss. 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.
