Podcasts about qur

After a long-awaited pause, we're excited to resume our thought-provoking sessions, engaging with your deepest questions through the lens of Qur'an and the teachings of Ahlulbayt (as). We begin with one of the most challenging and misunderstood questions, addressing the theological heart of the Husayni revolution: was it martyrdom or self-destruction? What was the divine wisdom behind his foreknowledge and decision? And how do we respond to those who raise such objections?

A man once asked ‘Abdullah Ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه: “Tell us about the Hellfire. What is it like?” He replied: “If you were to see it, your heart would be dislodged from its place.” Jahannam is real. It exists as you read this. It's waiting. Its terror goes beyond imagination. Flames that crush the bones, melt the skin, and burn to the heart... only for the skin to return and burn again. Chains that shackle every limb. Boiling tar that coats the body. Molten drink that tears the insides apart while screams echo in despair, unanswered. In this gripping reminder, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes you deep into the Qur'an and hadith that uncover the Fire's horrors like you've never heard before: the angels that drag people on their faces, the seven gates each awaiting its share, and the endless punishments that drive its inmates to beg for death… only to hear: “Burn in it, and don't speak to Me.” This isn't a talk to play in the background. This is the reminder that could save you from the fire whose fuel is men and stones. Watch it. Fear it. Change before it's too late.

In this podcast, Dr Vahid Sohrabifar explores how the Qurʾān addresses today's crisis of meaning, focusing on ḥayāt ṭayyiba—a meaningful, God-centred life. He reflects on the Qurʾān's concern with existential themes like freedom, death, and human purpose.

Surah al-Ḥujurāt Begins!السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُWe've kicked off Term 3 of the BeQuranic journey, and this term we'll be diving into Surah al-Ḥujurāt — a short but deeply powerful surah, full of lessons on adab, respect, and community.This week, we're beginning slowly and deliberately with just the first two ayāt. Why? Because each line is loaded with both tajwīd gems and practical life reminders — so we want to sit with them, reflect, and read with clarity.Tajwīd Highlights This WeekWe started by revising two key etiquette phrases that open every recitation:* Al-Isti‘ādhah: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ* Basmalah: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِFrom there, we explored several tajwīd rules in-depth:* Madd Jā'iz Munfaṣil: Appears in phrases like “يَا أَيُّهَا”, requiring a 4-beat stretch.* Lafdh al-Jalālah (اللَّه): Read heavy if preceded by a fatḥah or ḍammah, light if preceded by a kasrah.* Ghunna with Shaddah: Don't cut the ghunna short in phrases like “إِنَّ اللَّهَ” — stretch it with intent.* Idh-hār with ḥalqī letters: Recognising throat letters (ع، ح، غ، خ، ه، ء) helps avoid nasalisation where it doesn't belong.* Rules of Rā': When to read it heavy vs. light depending on the vowel before it.We also worked through tricky sections like:يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِوَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍYour Assignment This WeekWith only two ayāt, the focus is on smoothness and mastery.Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.Break the verses down into parts, repeat them until you hit fluency, and pay attention to where you stumble. Work on those sections. Aim to iron out the kinks.Even if you stutter — don't be discouraged. The Prophet ﷺ said the one who struggles with Qur'an gets double the reward. But don't settle. Keep refining.See You ThursdayOn Tafsīr Thursday, we'll explore the meanings of these two opening ayāt: how they set the tone for respectful interaction with Allah and His Messenger ﷺ — and with one another.Until then — rehearse, reflect, and get ready.وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ This is a public episode.

In this podcast, Shaykh Arif Abdulhussain discusses the Qurʾān as an existential phenomenon, proposing a hermeneutic that links revelation to the Prophet's lived experience and the evolving consciousness of its first audience. He argues for an interpretation that is both historically aware and universally resonant.

In this podcast, Professor Asma Barlas critiques patriarchal interpretations of the Qurʾān, especially those that assert male authority over women. She argues that such readings distort the text's message and project a masculinised image of God.

In this podcast, Dr Imranali Panjwani critiques the rationalist paradigm in modern tafsīr, noting inconsistencies between inclusive interpretations and limited applications. He calls for a coherent framework that bridges modern values and Qurʾānic integrity.

In this podcast, Dr Sohaib Saeed introduces the idea of meaningful ambiguity in the Qurʾān. Drawing on Ibn ʿĀshūr, he suggests that ambiguity in certain verses may itself be intentional and meaningful, offering layered or simultaneous truths.

In this podcast, Dr Farhad Shafti provides a critical overview of the Farahi school, highlighting its focus on Qurʾānic coherence and its call to prioritise the Qurʾān over ḥadīth in legal reasoning—an area he believes warrants further attention.

Assalamualaikum,We've reached the final portion of Surah al-Wāqiʿah, and it's been a beautiful journey. Each week, we recited, studied Tajwīd, and reflected practically on what these ayāt mean for our lives.Tajwīd Highlights* Madd Munfasil vs Muttasil:If the wave sign (madd) is in two words, it's munfasil → read 4 harakat.If it's in one word, it's muttasil → read 4 harakat.I keep it simple: when you see the wave, go 4 — unless there's a shaddah or sukun, then it's 6.* Heavy Letters like ص (Ṣād):You lift the back of your tongue, not your lips.Don't shape it like “soo” — it's not lip work, it's tongue elevation.* Light Letter vs. Heavy:Try saying س (Seen) and ص (Ṣād) back-to-back.The makhraj is similar, but ṣād is heavier because of that tongue lift.* Letter ض (Ḍād) – tricky but unique.It's not made with the tip — it's the sides of the tongue touching the molars.Push right or left, or both sides if you can.There's also a bit of stretch — not like dhal, not a heavy “d”, but truly ḍād.* Idghām Without Ghunnah:Example: Fasalāmun laka — tanwīn meets lām → merge it without nasal sound.No humming here.Tafsīr: Ayah 88 to 96Previously, we looked at how Allah divided humanity into three groups on the Day of Judgement:* As-Sābiqūn al-Muqarrabūn – the foremost in goodness, those drawn near to Allah.* Ashābul-Yamīn – the people of the right, honoured and saved.* Ashābush-Shimāl – the people of the left, those who face punishment.We saw the signs in nature: fire, water, creation. The Qur'an kept asking us to reflect. These were not abstract reminders — they were close and real. The question remains: where do we stand?The Qur'an and the StarsEarlier in this passage, Allah took a unique oath:فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِThen I swear by the positions of the stars –وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌAnd indeed, it is a great oath, if you only knew.Allah is linking the stars to the Qur'an. Why?Like the stars, the Qur'an from afar can look like a beautiful mess — dazzling, but hard to make sense of.But if you study the stars, you find direction. They guide travellers at sea and in the desert. Likewise, if you study the Qur'an, it becomes your compass. You begin to see the inner structure, the ring composition, the coherence.We need to dig deeper. The Qur'an is not for the lazy. It calls us to think, reflect, and remember.What Are You Waiting For?Allah ends the Surah by asking us:أَفَبِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَIs it this statement (Qur'an) that you take lightly?And then reminds us of the moment of death:فَلَوْلَا إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ . تَرْجِعُونَهَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَThen why, if you are not to be recompensed, do you not return the soul – if you are truthful?This is the challenge. If we truly had power, we could stop death. But we can't.We now reach the final ayat of Surah al-Wāqiʿah, and once again, Allah brings our attention to the three categories of people.1. The MuqarrabūnFor the ones nearest to Allah, they receive:فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍThen [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.These are people who go above the bare minimum. They chase virtue — extra prayers, fasting, charity — and draw close to Allah through constant remembrance and Qur'an.2. Ashābul-Yamīnفَسَلَامٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ“Peace for you” — from the people of the right.They fulfilled their obligations. They weren't perfect, but they remained faithful and upright.3. The Deniers and the Misguidedوَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَBut if he is from those who denied and were astray…They receive the opposite: punishment with scalding water and burning fire.Note how both traits are mentioned: denial and misguidance. It's not just about not knowing — it's rejecting after knowing.According to Imām al-Ghazālī, before a person is truly culpable for disbelief, five conditions must be met:* The message reaches them.* It is explained reasonably.* Doubts are clarified.* Time is given.* They still choose to reject.Yaqīn — The Stages of CertaintyAllah ends the Surah by declaring:إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِThis is the certainty of truth — ḥaqq al-yaqīn.The Qur'an speaks of three levels of yaqīn (certainty):* ʿIlm al-yaqīn — certainty through knowledge (e.g. seeing smoke and knowing there's fire)* ʿAyn al-yaqīn — certainty through seeing (you see the fire itself)* Ḥaqq al-yaqīn — certainty through experience (you touch the fire — and you're burned)We're meant to reach yaqīn through study and reflection, not wait for divine intervention or signs in the sky. That's why Allah constantly invites us to think.Dhikr ChallengeTry to say “ِسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيْم (SubḥānAllāh wa bihamdihi SubḥānAllāhi L-Azim)” 100 times in the morning.Make it a daily habit.فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِSo glorify the name of your Lord, the Most GreaA Final Du‘āاللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ، وَمِنْ أَصْحَابِ ٱلْيَمِينِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ ٱلضَّالِّينَO Allah, make us from those drawn near, from the people of the right, and protect us from being among the misguided.Next Week: Surah al-ḤujurātNext week, we begin a new series — Surah al-Ḥujurāt. It's a short surah, but packed with guidance on adab, community ethics, and dealing with others.See you then, in shā' Allāh. This is a public episode.

Impure Water in Islam: Rulings and PurificationUnderstanding Water Purity According to Quran and SunnahAssalamu Alaikum.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this short blog, we will discuss the rulings of impure water in Islam—what makes water impure, and how to purify it—based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.Alhamdulillah, in Islamic jurisprudence, water purity is a vital subject. Water is essential not only for physical cleanliness but for acts of worship like wudu (ablution) and ghusl (ritual bath). In this blog post, we explore the rulings related to impure water, based on Quran and Hadith, as explained by scholars.1. Why Study Impure Water?We must understand impure water because:It cannot be used to remove ritual impurity (minor or major).It cannot purify filth (najasah).It becomes contagious, making whatever it touches impure.It cannot be used for drinking or cooking.2. What Makes Water Impure?Water becomes impure (najis) if it comes in contact with a physical impurity and any of its three characteristics—color, smell, or taste—change as a result.The Prophet ﷺ said:“Water is pure and nothing makes it impure.” — Sunan Abu Dawood 66 (authentic)https://sunnah.com/abudawud:66For example:If urine, feces, blood, or a dead animal contaminates the water and changes its color, smell, or taste, the water is impure.But if a pure substance like saffron changes the water, the water remains pure.3. How to Purify Impure Water?a) Add More Pure WaterIf enough pure water is added to impure water so that the change in color, taste, or smell disappears, the water becomes pure again.Example from Hadith:A Bedouin urinated in the masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ said:“Pour a bucket of water over it.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 220https://sunnah.com/bukhari:220This teaches us that impurity can be removed by overwhelming it with pure water.b) Wait for Natural PurificationOver time, impurities may disappear naturally due to environmental factors (evaporation, sunlight, etc.). If no impurity remains, the water is pure.c) Filtration and Treatment (Modern Methods)Today, technology like desalination and chemical treatment can remove impurities from sewer water, making it safe and pure again, provided the three characteristics return to normal.4. How to Judge If Water Is Impure?The scholars agree:If any one of the three characteristics is changed by impurity, the water is impure.If none of them change, even if a drop of impurity falls in, the water remains pure—especially when the water body is large like a swimming pool.Allah says:“And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30This verse reminds us of the value and necessity of clean, usable water.5. Practical TipIn dire situations (war, drought, etc.), if you only have slightly suspected water, check for the three characteristics. If there's no visible impurity, the default rule in Islam is that the water is pure.Conclusion:Islamic rulings on water purity are merciful and practical. By observing the three signs (smell, taste, color), and using purification methods, we ensure our worship is valid and our hygiene preserved.May Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.

Hadith 01-03: The Importance of Intention in Islam (Niyyah) | Insights from Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Salah | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum. I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog, we explore a powerful Hadith that teaches us the importance of intention (niyyah) in all our actions. This Hadith is a core principle in Islam and reminds us that every deed is judged by its intention.1. The Hadith of IntentionThe Prophet ﷺ said:"Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only what he intended."(Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Sahih Muslim 1907) — sunnah.comhttps://sunnah.com/bukhari:1This Hadith was narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). It teaches us that no action is accepted by Allah unless it is done sincerely for His sake. For example, during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, some migrated from Makkah to Madinah for worldly reasons, not for Allah. Their reward was based on their intention, not the act itself.2. The Meaning of NiyyahIn Arabic, niyyah means one's aim or purpose. In Islam, it refers to doing something purely for the sake of Allah. Whether it is praying, fasting, giving charity, or seeking knowledge—without the right intention, the reward is lost.Allah says in the Qur'an:"And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion..."(Surah Al-Bayyinah 98:5) — quran.com/98/53. Sincerity in WorshipEven acts of worship like wudu, ghusl, salah, or fasting require niyyah. For instance, if someone bathes to cool off but not with the intention of purification, it doesn't count as ghusl. The intention must precede the action.4. The Danger of Showing Off (Riya)If an act is done to impress others, it becomes riya (showing off) and Allah will not accept it.The Prophet ﷺ said:"I am the One who does not need any partner. Whoever does a deed for Me and for someone else, I will leave him to the one he associated with Me."(Sahih Muslim 2985) —https://sunnah.com/muslim:2985This includes people who recite Qur'an to be praised, give charity to be called generous, or fight to be called brave. On the Day of Judgment, these people will be thrown into Hell despite their good deeds.(Sahih Muslim 1905) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1905a5. Turning Habits into WorshipSimple daily acts like feeding your family or paying bills can become worship if done with the right intention.The Prophet ﷺ said:"Even the bite you put in your wife's mouth is rewarded when done for Allah's sake."(Sahih al-Bukhari 56, Sahih Muslim 1628) — https://sunnah.com/muslim:1628aConclusionThis Hadith of intention forms the foundation of all Islamic practice. Let us always check our hearts, renew our intentions, and strive to please Allah alone. May Allah accept our deeds and make them sincerely for Him. Ameen.

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.

Tarbiyah 01-03: Honoring the Final Messenger ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Ibrahim Zidan | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In this post, I will summarize key reminders about our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his finality, and our duty to follow him, based on Qur'anic verses and authentic hadiths.1. Praise to Allah and the Prophet ﷺAll praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, and companions. We testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is His final Messenger.2. The Love of the Companions for the Prophet ﷺUrwah ibn Mas'ud (RA) said during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah:"I have visited kings like Caesar, but never have I seen a leader more loved and obeyed by his companions than Muhammad ﷺ." This shows the deep respect and love the Sahabah had for the Prophet ﷺ — a sign of true belief.3. Follow the Unlettered Prophet ﷺAllah says in the Qur'an:“…So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His words. Follow him so that you may be guided.” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:158 This verse shows that guidance comes by following Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.4. Finality of ProphethoodAllah clearly states:“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets.” — Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40 Belief in his finality is a core part of Islamic faith. Anyone who claims a prophet will come after him is rejecting a clear Qur'anic teaching.5. Protection from ErrorThe Prophet ﷺ did not make mistakes in conveying the message. Allah says:“Your companion (the Prophet) has neither gone astray nor erred.” — Surah An-Najm 53:26. No Religion Accepted Except IslamAllah says clearly:“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” — Surah Al-Imran 3:857. The Prophet's Final SermonIn the Farewell Khutbah, the Prophet ﷺ said:“I have conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust.” He fulfilled his mission. Allah commands:“Say: O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all…” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:1588. His Message Is for All HumanityThe Prophet ﷺ said:“There is nothing between the heavens and the earth that does not know I am the Messenger of Allah, except the sinners among jinn and mankind.” — Musnad Ahmad – Hadith of Jabir“The previous prophets were sent to their nations only, but I have been sent to all of mankind.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 335https://sunnah.com/bukhari:335ConclusionAs Muslims, we must love, follow, and obey the Prophet ﷺ. His message is final, universal, and the only path to salvation. Let us hold firm to his Sunnah, honor his legacy, and invite others with wisdom

Tafsir 01-03: The Development of Tafsir (Qur'anic Interpretation) | Insights from Shaykh Dr. Ahmad ibn Saifuddin | ZAD Academy Lecture | Blogpost by Zayd Haji #IslamicPodcast #QuranTafsir #IslamicStudiesBy Zayd Haji, Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. In this blog, we will explore the development of Tafsir, or the explanation of the Qur'an. Tafsir is essential to understanding the meanings of Allah's words. The science of Tafsir developed in stages and is based on the Qur'an, Hadith, the sayings of the Sahabah (companions), the Tabi'een (students of the companions), and qualified scholars.1. Tafsir of the Qur'an by the Qur'anThe first and most authentic source of Tafsir is the Qur'an itself. Sometimes, one verse explains another. For example, Allah says:“And those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith — We will join them with their descendants…” — Surah At-Tur 52:21 (quran.com/52/21)This verse is expanded in Tafsir through context, indicating that Allah will unite believing families in Paradise, even if their ranks differ.2. Tafsir by the SunnahThe Prophet ﷺ explained many verses of the Qur'an himself. His Hadith clarify legal rulings, meanings, and context. For instance:“When one of you touches women…” (Surah An-Nisa 4:43, quran.com/4/43) Here, the word "touch" (lamastum) is explained by the Prophet ﷺ and companions to mean sexual intercourse, not just physical contact. This is proven by Hadith and linguistic analysis.3. Tafsir by the Sahabah (Companions)The companions, such as Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'ud, were present during the revelation of the Qur'an. Their explanations are based on firsthand experience. For example, Ibn Abbas explained:“…And He is the knower of the unseen and the most hidden (akhfa).” — Surah Ta-Ha 20:7 (quran.com/20/7) He said “the secret” refers to what you do secretly, and “what is even more hidden” means what's in your heart that you haven't even acted upon — yet Allah knows.4. Tafsir by the Tabi'een (Successors)The Tabi'een were the students of the Sahabah and also explained the Qur'an based on their teachers. Sa'eed ibn Jubayr and others explained difficult verses with great care. For example, they clarified the above verse (52:21) by saying Allah raises the ranks of the descendants to join the righteous without reducing anyone's reward.5. Tafsir by ScholarsLater scholars such as Imam al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, and Imam al-Qurtubi compiled Tafsir using all the above methods. They used Arabic grammar and context without contradicting the meanings passed down.“Whoever says something about the Qur'an without knowledge, let him prepare his seat in Hell.” — Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2950 Grade: Da'if (Darussalam)https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2950This hadith warns against interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge or proper sources.Key Notes:Tafsir follows a chain: Qur'an → Sunnah → Sahabah → Tabi'een → Scholars.It must follow authentic and contextual understanding.Interpreting the Qur'an without knowledge is sinful.Allah rewards those who explain His words truthfully.May Allah grant us correct understanding of His Book. Ameen.

You wake up already tired. The mind's racing before your feet even touch the ground. You pray, but it feels like a routine. You open the Qur'an, but the words blur. You smile, you function… but inside, you're drained. Some days, you're not even sad. Just numb. On edge. Like you're bracing for something, but you don't know what. You try everything, you listen to reminders… but your heart still feels far. Unmoved. Heavy. And in the quiet moments, that lingering thought creeps in: “Why do I still feel like this… even when I'm trying?” In this powerful reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan gets straight to what most of us avoid talking about. He brings to light the root of that restlessness, the reason behind the inner noise, the tightness, the emptiness, even while doing all the “right” things. If you've been feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or just off, and you've been searching for peace but can't seem to feel it, this is for you. Not vague advice. Not surface-level comfort. But something real. Something your heart might've been needing all along.

You've heard the world's noise about “quiet time” - mindfulness, meditation, deep breaths… but did you ever stop and ask: “Wait, where's this in our Deen?” Let's take a seat (literally) and discover how Islam taught us the power of pausing before it became cool. In this heartfelt session, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) takes us behind the scenes of spiritual productivity - where ‘doing nothing' is actually doing everything that matters. Learn why the Prophet ﷺ said that just sitting, waiting for the next prayer, counts as the highest struggle - jihad, ribat! Find out why those awkward, fidgety moments before the Adhan or Iqama are actually prime time for Dua to be accepted. And discover what “Aisha-time” really meant in the Prophet's masjid (hint: no clocks, just pure presence and trust). Whether you're addicted to hustle culture or allergic to sitting still, this talk will flip your perspective. Shaykh (rA) shares personal stories, a touch of humor, and a powerful reminder: quiet time is a prophetic pathway back to Allah. Put your phone away, calm the mind, pick up your Qur'an, and watch your ‘doing nothing' become the most rewarding part of your day.

In this insightful and timely lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera explores the topic of “Dealing with Differences” within the Islamic scholarly tradition. With clarity and balance, he addresses the historical development of the four Sunni madhabs—Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali—and explains how these schools emerged through rigorous scholarship, sincere ijtihad (independent reasoning), and mutual respect among scholars. Dr. Mangera emphasizes that these madhabs, though differing in certain rulings, are all rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah and represent a mercy and richness in Islamic jurisprudence. He highlights how the classical scholars maintained unity and adab (etiquette) despite their disagreements, promoting tolerance and harmony within the ummah. The lecture also examines the more recent emergence of the Salafi movement, its emphasis on direct textual interpretation, and how it has challenged traditional madhab adherence. Dr. Mangera respectfully critiques certain Salafi approaches, especially those that promote exclusivity or reject the legitimacy of traditional scholarship. He calls for intellectual humility, scholarly responsibility, and contextual awareness when engaging with different viewpoints. Ultimately, the lecture is a call to unity, understanding, and proper etiquette when navigating intra-Muslim differences. Dr. Mangera reminds the audience that diversity in legal opinion is not a weakness but a strength, and that dealing with differences requires knowledge, patience, and sincere intention.

The Internal Affairs Minister's being criticised for allowing improper destruction of religious texts from the National Library. The Government plans to shred around half a million books which include the Bible, the Qur'an, and the Torah, to save on storage costs. Massey University Professor Emeritus of Religion Peter Lineham told Heather de Plessis-Allan religious texts should be offered to the relevant communities. He says Minister Brooke van Velden suggested they can do what they want with the books because New Zealand's secular. But Lineham says being secular doesn't mean being careless with other people's beliefs. Lineham told du Plessis-Allan religions have strict beliefs about how texts should be handled and destroyed - if at all. He says only preserving New Zealand books fails to recognise our society contains —and is stemmed from— many cultures. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You think your Iman is safe… that you'll die with it intact, no matter what. But watch how quickly it gets chipped away when doubts come dressed as trends, debates, or posts that sound clever — until your heart's spinning at night, wondering what's true. Your Aqeedah isn't just a label. It's your shield when the world keeps pushing you to blur the lines. And a shield only works if you know what you're holding. Manzoomah Al-Ahsaai isn't just an old poem for scholars to memorise — it's a lifeline. A clear, powerful map of the beliefs every Muslim needs to anchor their heart. In this 5-hour deep dive, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks each line with proofs from the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the way of the Salaf. You'll see why Tawheed, Qadr, the grave, the scales, and the Day you see Allah — none of it is just theory. It's what keeps your Iman steady when everyone's telling you to loosen your grip. You've got 168 hours for the world's noise this week. Take just five to strengthen what matters more than anything else. Study the kind of Aqeedah that lets you sleep at night when the doubts hit, the debates rage, and your soul whispers: “Where do I stand?” May Allah keep our creed pure and our hearts firm. Watch till the end. Share it with someone who's searching for solid ground right now. And keep building your Aqeedah like the Salaf did — step by step, truth by truth.

Why did God dedicate entire chapters of the Qur'an to ants and bees? What hidden wisdom do these tiny creatures hold about the future of humanity? In this episode, we uncover the signs encoded in nature—how ants, bees, and even cells point to the next step in our evolution.

Examining the history of nomadic pastoralism across Asia—from the Caucasus and Central Asian steppes to ancient Mesopotamia—reveals a consistent pattern: settled elites have repeatedly waged war against pastoral peoples. Both the Bible and the Qur'an emerged from nomadic pastoral societies, yet these same texts were later weaponized by sedentary civilizations against the very peoples once nurtured by them. We are witnessing this tragic pattern unfold again in real time—perhaps in its most brutal form yet—with escalating consequences that now reach into the heart of the West, the heir of Greco-Roman hubris.Even in pre-biblical East Asian traditions, such as the Confucian Book of Odes, herdsmen arrive with their flocks to establish an unnamed prince—a figure who emerges not from the city but from the periphery to usher in an era of divine justice. This archetype, consolidated in the Bible and the Qur'an, becomes active in the world whenever and wherever the voice from the pasture rises against the corruption of the palace.This is the Voice of the Scriptural God—The Voice of the Shepherd.It will not be silenced.It cannot be bought.It does not serve a throne.It does not belong to anyone.It roams freely upon the earth,calling its flock from the outlands, out of the city to the wilderness.The Biblical Jesus is near, habibi—And it's time for the Lord to act.It's time for Ibrahim's Discords.سُبْحَانَ مَنْ جَعَلَ فِي الْحَمْدِ نُورًا(subḥāna man jaʿala fī al-ḥamdi nūran)“Glory to the one who placed light within praise.”This week, I discuss Luke 8:32-34.Photo by Cajeo Zhang on UnsplashShow notesἀγέλη (agelē) / ע־ד־ר (ʿayin–dalet–resh) / غ–د–ر (ghayn–dāl–rāʾ)In the Gospel of Matthew, we are warned that God will separate the sheep from the goats. Mishearing this, the rule-followers among us foolishly turn their gaze outward, seeking to teach others which rules to follow. In doing so, they become goat-finders and goat-fixers—lions and bears who come not to protect the flock but to steal sheep from it.But in Luke's application of ע־ד־ר (ʿayin–dalet–resh) from the Song of Songs, this dichotomy is flipped on its head. When the mashal unfolds at the Decapolis in Luke, the Song's poetic use of ἀγέλη (agelē)—interchanging goats and sheep—reveals the Bible's mockery of human rule-followers. The constant switch between goats and sheep in the Song of Songs reflects a deliberate poetic symmetry: the goats evoke movement and allure (hair), while the sheep evoke purity and precision (teeth).This imagery, drawn from real pastoral life, is repurposed to undermine self-righteous Hellenistic legal constructs. There is no intent in the text to constrain the beloved or to define her by a boundary. Rather, it moves freely—dark and light, wild and ordered, descending and ascending—a complete pastoral image that cannot be systematized. The beloved is named not to be limited, but to be delighted in—not judged, but adored.David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father's flock [הָעֵדֶר (hā-ʿēder)], and when a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock…” (1 Samuel 17:34)Know well the condition of your flocks [עֲדָרִים (ʿădārīm)], and pay attention to your herds; (Proverbs 27:23)Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you pasture your flock [עֵדֶר (ʿeder)], where do you have it lie down at noon? For why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions? (Song of Songs 1:7)Your hair is like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of goats, coming down from Mount Gilead. (Song of Songs 4:1)Your teeth are like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of newly shorn sheep, which have come up from their watering place… (Song of Songs 4:2)Your hair is like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of goats that have descended from Gilead. (Song of Songs 6:4)Your teeth are like a flock [כְּעֵדֶר (kə-ʿēder)] of ewes which have come up from their watering place… (Song of Songs 6:5)Still, even in the open pasture, there are rules of engagement. This is how one should hear the text—as a Bedouin.Surat Al-Anfāl (سورة الأنفال, The Spoils of War) addresses the terms of conflict and the proper conduct of the faithful toward their enemies. It contains the Qur'an's only occurrence of the Lukan-corresponding root غ–د–ر (ghayn–dāl–rāʾ)—a term that denotes treachery or betrayal. Even when nomadic clans behave treacherously, those who follow God are commanded to act transparently—even in the face of betrayal. The response to ghadr is not reciprocal deceit, but open disengagement.The verse also contains the word قَوْمٍ (qawm), meaning “those who stand or rise together as a group,” from the root ق–و–م (qāf–wāw–mīm). Its presence evokes the image of a herd rising for judgment—a disobedient gathering whose posture does not guarantee righteousness. Instead, it invokes divine judgment, alluding to the Day of the Lord. This imagery echoes the Gosp...

n a remote corner of Turkey, a unique geological formation, unearthed on September 11, 1959, by Turkish Army Captain Ilhan Durupinar, is raising eyebrows and piquing the interest of biblical scholars and geologists alike. This boat-shaped geological curiosity, commonly referred to as the Durupinar formation, is considered by some to be the final resting place of Noah's Ark.The narrative of Noah's Ark is deeply ingrained in the religious texts of both Christianity and Islam, with references found in Genesis 8:4 of the Bible and Surah 11:44 of the Qur'an. In both texts, the story recounts a great deluge, a boat, and a landing in a mountainous region. Locals in the nearby village point to the Durupinar site, which they call Al-Judi, as a possible landing point of the ark.Ed Opperman talks to Andrew Jones about the discovery which, if true, will rewrite history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Is the Qur'an truly the perfectly preserved word of God—or is its history more complicated than many believe?  In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Qur'an scholar Andy Bannister explore the turbulent early history of the Qur'an: from its oral roots to the compilation controversies that many Muslims have never been told about. Was there really just one Qur'an from the beginning? Did early Muslim leaders know what the Qur'an was? And what can the evidence of oral storytelling, variant versions, and missing passages tell us about how the Qur'an came to be?  With wit, respect, and deep scholarship, Abdu and Andy cut through the myths to explore what Islamic, historical, and scholarly sources actually say about the formation of Islam's central text.  Whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or just curious about the Qur'an's origins, this conversation offers thoughtful insights that challenge assumptions and invite further investigation.  #Quran #Islam #AndyBannister #Apologetics #IslamicHistory #TextualCriticism #Hadith #Christianity #ExMuslim #BiblevsQuran    Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Andy Bannister, An Oral-Formulaic Study of the Qur'an  Andy Bannister, shorter article on Oral-Formulaic Study (https://www.academia.edu/9490706/Retelling_the_Tale_A_Computerised_Oral_Formulaic_Analysis_of_the_Qur_an)   Digital, Critical version of the Qur'an: http://quran-tools.com/  Oral formulae from the digital version: https://qurantools.mst.edu.au/help/formulaic-analysis.php   Gordon Nickel, The Quran with Christian Commentary (book) Gordon Nickel, The Gentle Answer to Muslim Accusation of Biblical Falsification (book) Patricia Crone, Meccan Trade (book) Jonathan Bernier, Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament (this popular-level book includes discussion of the early dating offered by non-Christians Maurice Casey and his student James Crossley).   Shabir Ally admits there are fables in the Qur'an: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLuzyRurhm4

In this in-depth response, I carefully walk through Sam's claims, public behavior, and theology—while addressing whether my portrayal of his views was fair and accurate. Along the way, I explore the Catholic magisterium's teaching on Islam, clarify the […]

This classical Arabic poem isn't just eloquent — it's dangerous. Laamiyah al-Arab is the voice of Shanfara, a man betrayed by blood, raised by the one who killed his father, and driven to the wild. He swore vengeance. He lived with wolves. He wrote verses that shook Arabic literature. Something to wonder: Why are scholars of our religion teaching his words? Because this poem is a map of the Arabic language. Every line, explained here by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan, reveals meanings buried deep in the Qur'an and classical texts. This is not entertainment. It's training. For the one serious about Arabic. For the one serious about understanding revelation. What made a savage poet essential for students of Islamic knowledge? Watch and find out.
