In this episode, we reflect on two life-changing experiences — our deployment in Kenya with HDF and the incredible Qur'an event in London. From witnessing the struggles of families in Kenya to standing among a thousand believers in London, these moments gave us powerful lessons on gratitude, service, fighting injustice, learning to apply the Quran in our life, and the meaning of brotherhood. We spoke about what it truly means to serve for the sake of Allah, the emotions we felt seeing the conditions of others, and how these journeys reminded us of our purpose — to live with sincerity, unity, and gratitude for the blessings Allah has given us.Human Development Fund (HDF) is a global humanitarian organization working to uplift underserved communities through programs in clean water, healthcare, orphan care, education, food security, and livelihood development.

Xeno Legendium Islamic Folklore The Tales of Al-Araf Divine Border Between Jahannam Hellfire & Jannah Paradiseby Xeno Legendium & Muhammad Hamzah Sakura RyukiIn the time beyond time, when the Reckoning had concluded and the scales of deeds were weighed with precision, a group of souls found themselves neither among the rejoicing in Paradise nor the regretful in Hellfire. They stood upon an elevated realm — the A'rāf, the Heights. This station, described in The Noble Qur'an (Surah Al-A'rāf, 7:46–49), was neither a reward nor a punishment, but a pause between two eternal destinies. From this vantage, they could see both realms: the radiant gardens of Paradise on one side, and the blazing torment of Hell on the other. They recognized the people of both camps, calling out to those destined for Jannah Paradise with words of peace, and turning away in dread from those suffering in Jahannam Hellfire.The scholars of old explained that the People of Al-A'rāf were those whose deeds were evenly balanced— their good not quite enough to admit them into Paradise, their evil not enough to condemn them to Hell. Some narrations added that they were people who had fought in jihad but disobeyed their parents, or those who died before the message of Islam reached them in full. While not authenticated in the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ directly, the companions such as Ibn Abbas and Qatadah passed down deep insights about them.These souls waited, humbled and hopeful, their eyes fixed on the Mercy of Allah SWT. They would not remain forever on the Heights. One day, they would hear the call of their Lord: "Enter Jannah Paradise. No fear will there be upon you, nor will you grieve" (The Qur'an 7:49). But before that final moment came, their story — of faith, suspense, and Divine justice — would unfold.

The functional path of oneness is not an abstract unity but a lived encounter of utter dependence. Western thought, enslaved by the grammar of the Anglo-Saxons, treats the human as an individual: a self-contained atom, an object unto itself. It imagines freedom as isolation, and isolation as freedom. But this supposed independence becomes sterility: the atomized person, cut off from the Shepherd's breath, is lost in a sea of thorns, choked by its own irrelevance.True independence lies not in the language of atoms but in the biology of divine anatomies, in the irreducibility of God's living functions. The Semitic root does not define a solitary “one” but a functional, dependent, and connected one. Every creature is undoubtedly one, yet cannot sustain itself any more than a cell can live apart from the body.As the body cannot live without its head, the tree without the earth withers.The triliteral root—three consonants binding the Tree of Life to the Master who gives it breath—embodies this living unity. Each consonant functions only in relation to the others; none can speak alone. Like branches drawing life through hidden roots, utility flows from dependence on him, not autonomy.In this linguistic body, the Semitic scrolls convey the unity of divine oneness: connection without possession, coherence without control. To be yaḥid is to be fragile, dependent, and open without self-reference: the earthen vessel through which the breath of ha-ʾEḥad flows.Western language, by contrast, breeds an unconscious polytheism of the self. When every person becomes an independent atom, the world fills with gods. Each will asserts its own dominion; each word competes for sovereignty. Polytheism, at its base, is war: the multiplication of possessive wills in endless collision. The Lukan crowd becomes a pantheon of thorns, a battlefield of competing gods. The soil of faith is twisted into a field of confrontation, where the multitude gathers against the Lord and his Christ to suffocate the one who brings the life-giving breath of his instruction.Yet within that suffocating crowd stands the yaḥid, Jairus, whose “only daughter”—his yeḥidah—lies dying. His lineage collapses; his name withers. Yet in this desolation, he does not press or grasp; he kneels before the “one.” There, in the stillness of dependence, the breath returns, and the Shepherd that the cares of this life cannot choke breathes life into the earthen vessel that has ceased to strive.μονογενής (monogenes) / י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) / و-ح-د (wāw-ḥāʾ-dāl)One and only; single of its kind; only-born; only, only one, solitary, unique.“She was his only one [יְחִידָה (yeḥidah)]; he had no other son or daughter.” (Judges 11:34 )Here יָחִיד (yaḥid) expresses the fragility of the earthen vessel. In verse 34, the human line rests upon a single, irreplaceable life. Jephthah's entire legacy depends on his yeḥidah; when she is offered, the limits of family and human continuity are laid bare. The father's grief, bound to his only daughter, exposes the futility of lineage and the inevitability of dependence on God. The yaḥid becomes the mirror through which the insufficiency of man encounters the sufficiency of God.“Deliver my life from the sword, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the power of the dog.” (Psalm 22:21) LXX 21David cries from the edge of annihilation. His yeḥidati (“my only one”) refers to his only life (nefeš). He stands surrounded by predators, stripped of every defense, holding nothing but the breath that God alone can sustain. In that setting, ha-yaḥid encounters ha-ʾEḥad; the singular human breath encounters the One God who gives it breath. The weakness of the individual, the threatened “only life”, is the functional context of י־ח־ד (yod-ḥet-dalet) where triliteral replaces human vulnerability with God's sufficiency.“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone [יָחִיד (yaḥid)] and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16 ) LXX 24Here, yaḥid is not emotional loneliness but martial isolation: the condition of a soldier or supplicant with no human ally, no support, no constituency. The psalmist is cut off from every network of defense; he stands as the yaḥid before ha-ʾEḥad. His solitude is not inward melancholy but strategic exposure. He is a man encircled and undone, left with no strength but God's. In that position, the oneness of God supplants the weakness of the individual, and dependence itself becomes the ground of divine action.“Rescue my life from their ravages, my only one [יְחִידָתִי (yeḥidati)] from the lions.” (Psalm 35:17) LXX 34The psalmist again names his life (nefeš) his yeḥidah: his one, irreplaceable self surrounded by devouring forces. This cry is not heroic but helpless; the yaḥid has no shield, no strength, no tribe. He stands as the fragile earthen vessel awaiting rescue from the ʾEḥad who alone grants and restores the breath of life.“They have taken their rabbis and monks as lords besides God and the Messiah, son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship One God [إِلَـٰهًۭا وَاحِدًۭا (ʾilāhan wāḥidan)]. There is no god but he. Glory be to him above what they associate with him.” (Qurʾan, Surat al-Tawba سورة التوبة “The Repentance” 9:31)The yaḥid stands before al-Wāḥid as a fragile vessel, emptied of pretense, whose worth lies not in possession or inheritance but in exposure. To be yaḥid is to stand alone—not because one has chosen solitude, but because every other support has failed. It is the state of Jairus in Luke 8:42, David in Psalm 22:21, and Jephthah in Judges 11:34—each reduced to dependence, each holding a single, irreplaceable life before the one who gives it.Yet the religious mind, ancient and modern alike, mistakes the vessel for the seed. It clings to fleeting human breath instead of to the one who gives breath. This is what Qurʾan 9:31 exposes in its indictment of clericalism: those who mistake the earthen vessel, which passes away, for the words of God, which do not.This is also the folly of the crowds in Luke 8. They gather not to hear the divine instruction but to choke it—to smother the seed because it threatens their economy of possession. They are the ʿedah, the swarm around death. They handle Jesus like a toy, fascinated with what can be held, pressed, traded, and measured; they prefer the earthen vessel to the living seed. They worship the perishable container rather than the imperishable Word, the finite dust rather than הָאֶחָד (ha-ʾEḥad), the one from whom all life flows.But the yaḥid—the one left with nothing—sees through the mirage. Standing before al-Wāḥid, Jairus discovers that what endures is not clay but command. The earthen vessel passes away; but the Word of God abides forever.συμπνίγω (sympnigo)To press in so tightly that one can barely breathe; to crowd around or press hard against; to suffocate.“The one sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke [συμπνίγει (sympnigei)] the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Matthew 13:22)

We wake up running after deadlines, studies, careers, and distractions that never end. We scroll for hours, but never feel fulfilled. We complain about the weakness of our Ummah, yet struggle to see where strength begins. And at the back of our minds sits a question we try to ignore: what if death comes before we figure it out? This khutbah cuts to the heart of that struggle. It's about the gap between what we live for and what we were actually created for - and why that gap decides everything. And when the answer finally comes, it circles back to the very first command in the Qur'an, and the last words every believer longs to say: La ilaha illallah, the shahada.

Was the Qur'an revealed to the Prophet (pbuh) through divine speech, imagination, divine inspiration, or visions? In this seminar, Professor Mahmoud Morvarid, a Researcher at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences, examines four key models within the Islamic intellectual tradition that attempt to describe the mystery of divine revelation.Drawing on theology, philosophy, and mysticism, the presentation reflects on how revelation has been understood across centuries, the challenges these interpretations face, and why the debate remains relevant for contemporary thought.In this seminar, you will learn:– How revelation has been approached in classical Islamic thought– Why different disciplines (theology, philosophy, Sufism) offer contrasting perspectives– The continuing significance of these debates for understanding the Qur'an todayAudio Chapters:0:00 – Setting the Context: Revelation in Islam4:15 – The Mutakallimūn Model10:30 – The Fārābī–Ibn Sīnā Model33:08 – The Ghazālī Model42:40 – The Suhrawardī Model46:56 – Comparative Analysis of the Models

The history of Christianity and Islam has a long and complex history spanning several centuries, from Christians living among Muslims in Baghdad during the Golden Age of Islam to the Crusades and on into the 21st century. What does the future hold for Christian and Islamic relations? On the next two episodes of the Profile, we will be talking with an expert in the fields of Christianity and Islam, Dr. Wafik Wahba about his new book Global Christianity and Islam - Exploring History Politics and Beliefs. Wafik will give us a comprehensive overview of how Christianity and Islam have engaged and clashed since Islam emerged in the 7th century A.D.

From navigating conflict resolution and managing parental influence to cultivating emotional discipline and spiritual intimacy, he offers timeless guidance rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Who were the Sabians (Ṣābi'ūn) mentioned in the Quran? Were they a mysterious religious community, early monotheists, Mandaeans, star-worshippers, or something else entirely?

 As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, family. This is your brother Adbass , and you are tuned into Haqq Dawah Radio with DJ Takbir Khan. Tonight's show is packed: Qur'an, Sunnah, news, Izza Deen, storytelling, and inspiration. So sit back, stand up, drive safe, or even look busy at work — whatever you're doing, keep your ears locked in. Because tonight… it's about to get real.

Dear listeners,I pray this message reaches you in good health and with a heart full of blessings. May these verses of the Qur'an bring light to your heart and warmth to your soul. I hope they inspire you to pause, reflect, and reevaluate your journey in life.Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways our minds and hearts make sense of the world, of ourselves, and of those around us. At times, life feels overwhelming — and that's okay. In those moments, return to the Qur'an. Read or listen to a few verses in Arabic or English, and allow everything else to fade away for a while. Let the rhythm of Allah's words touch your heart and soul, for truly every part of us — even every cell — testifies to the Oneness of God.As your life coach in this podcast, we will reflect together, using the Qur'an as our guide. Through our daily du‘a, we strengthen one another and ask Allah to fill our hearts with His love and shower us with His blessings, so that we may always remain grateful. Alhamdulillah.Now, let us reflect: What life lessons can we apply from Surah 28, Al-Qasas (The Story)?

After a bit of a blip, we're now back with an episode all about the mythology of Djinns and Genies from prehistory through to today! Part of our Three Ravens Bestiary Bonus Series, we begin with our Western conception of 'the genie' - a pantomime creature, memorably played by Robin Williams in the 90's Disney movie, filtered through a century of fairy tales and family-friendly legends. Yet, as you might expect, this slight cozy form of 'Oriental' spirit is very different to the 'Jinni' of early Semitic cultures, as discussed in a range of poetry and art, later addressed by Islamic scholars and critics informed by the entire chapter of the Qur'an dedicated to discussing desert spirits and acceptable forms of magical belief.What emerges, as we explore these distinctions, is a series of parallels, including between the 'human' and 'spirit' worlds, between Muslim and Christian discussions of Otherworldly creatures, between types of Devil, and the ways that folktales and legends enable us to see ourselves through tales of so-called monsters.It's a journey that takes us from abandoned ruins lost in Arabian dunes to the times of Geoffrey Chaucer, from Classical discussions of 'genius loci' to tales of pre-Islamic Soothsayers possessed by demons.If you've been rubbing lamps and hoping to have wishes granted then you may have been barking up the wrong tree - but worry not: we've got advice for you on magic rings, fishing, and transcendental meditations that might well enable you to commune with a Jinn.Just don't go expecting them to make all your dreams come true, as they're much more likely to ask you out on a date or hide in the form of a serpent than they are to turn your fantasies into reality... Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastProud members of the Dark Cast Network.CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE THREE RAVENS ACAST SURVEY - PLEASE DO!

The obsession of Western spirituality with forgiveness—therapeutic forgiveness—is an obsession with the self. With control. With the usurpation of God's throne by human power. It domesticates God, it drags wisdom into abstraction, it ties it down, it entangles it in comfort for the self, and multiplies suffering for others.But Scripture cuts the knot. Forgiveness from the cross is not therapy. It is release. Its root, ἀφίημι (aphiemi), to let go, to remit, to release, shatters settlement. It refuses possession. It suspends judgment.To release guilt through forgiveness. Nūḥ (نُوح) preaches divine مغفرة (maghfira), a release, a remission, the undoing of claim. The Gospels speak the same: ἀφίημι (aphiemi). And on the cross, Jesus says: “Father, ἄφες (aphes) them” (Luke 23:34). Not to soothe himself. Not to achieve “closure.” But to relinquish claim and leave unsettled judgment in God's self-sufficient hand.Forgiveness here is no possession. It is gentle rain: falling, renewing, moving on. It cannot be held by the hand of man. It cannot be domesticated. It unsettles the settlement itself. It leaves all things provisionally in the hand of God.“Who is a God like you, who pardons wrongdoing and passes over a rebellious act of the remnant of his possession? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in mercy.” (Micah 7:18)This week, I discuss Luke 8:51.“When he came to the house, he did not allow [οὐκ εἴασεν, ouk eiasen] anyone to enter with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.” (8:51)‎ἀφίημι (aphiemi) / נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) / ن-و-ح (nūn-wāw-ḥāʾ)The root נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) in Hebrew, ἀφίημι (aphiemi) in Greek, and ن-و-ح (nūn-wāw-ḥāʾ) in Arabic share a core function: to rest, to let be, to release. But in the Bible and Qurʾan, this rest is always provisional: never possession, never settlement.Settle, Remain“The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave [נוּחוּ (nuḥu)] one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.'” (Genesis 42:33)To settle or remain as a pledge. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) functions as “leave behind.” One brother must stay behind while the others travel. The act of settling is temporary, an enforced pause, not ownership.“So the Lord allowed those nations to remain [וַיַּנַּח (wayyannaḥ)], not driving them out quickly; and he did not hand them over to Joshua.” (Judges 2:23)To let stay means to permit settlement. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) signifies God's intentional suspension of conquest. The nations remain unsettled alongside Israel in the land. It is a pause in divine judgment that disallows human presumption.Transient Rest, Repose“Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, ‘Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests [הַנִּיחֵנִי (hanniḥeni)], so that I may lean against them.'” (Judges 16:26)To rest or relax physically. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) signifies bodily relief. Samson leans for support. Rest is not a possession but a temporary dependence.“From men with your hand, Lord, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill their belly with your treasure; they are satisfied with children, and leave [הִנִּיחוּ (hinniḥu)] their abundance to their infants.” (Psalm 17:14; 16:14 LXX)To rest in satisfaction and to leave behind. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) functions as the fullness of life's portion as rest represented in inheritance. Yet, this rest is transient: what remains passes to children, never held permanently.Leave Behind, Let Go, Abandon“So I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave [אַנִּיחֶנּוּ (ʾanniḥennu)] it to the man who will come after me.” (Ecclesiastes 2:18)To leave or give up as an inheritance for someone else. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) indicates relinquishment. What one works for cannot be held permanently but must be released.“In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not let your hand rest [תַּנַּח (tannaḥ)]; for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.” (Ecclesiastes 11:6)To wait, but not passively. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) acts under pressure: not to stop but to stay active in anticipation without assurance or any sense of control over the outcome. Rest here is paused in darkness, waiting without certainty.Abandon / Let Be“And he said, ‘Let him alone [הַנִּיחוּ (hanniḥu)]; let no one disturb his bones.' So they left his bones undisturbed, with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.” (2 Kings 23:18)To abandon in peace, to let be. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) functions as non-interference. Even in death, the prophet's word is beyond the king's aegis. Death, rest, etc., indicate non-possession. The bones are not to be moved or claimed. Be warned, Josiah, God Almighty has spoken the truth. Do not disturb what God has already settled.“So I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, strip you of your clothing, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave [וַהֲנִיחוּךְ (wahaniḥuk)] you naked and bare.” (Ezekiel 16:39)To abandon violently. Here, נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) does not function peacefully but instead signifies forsaking, leaving someone vulnerable. Rest in this context indicates exposure, the lack of protection.Discipleship as Non-Settlement“And Jesus said to him, ‘The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.'” (Luke 9:58)To deny even the minimal rest that other earth mammals are granted. Here, Jesus embodies נ־ו־ח (nun-waw-ḥet) denied: no pause, no place of repose, only constant motion. Discipleship is a nomadic way of life without settled ground.“But He said to him, ‘Allow [Ἄφες (aphes)] the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.'” (Luke 9:60)To release family obligations, ἀφίημι (aphiemi) signifying “let go” is reflected in the command: let the dead bury their dead; you must be on the move. The function is about detachment: not settling in family, friends, tribe, nation, institution, or inheritance.“Carry no money belt, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.” (Luke 10:4)To release possession and ties. Here, discipleship repeats the law of Sabbath rest: travel light, claim nothing, do not bind yourself. Forgiveness as release becomes life as release. Forgiveness is not psychological or therapeutic, let alone internal or spiritual. It is pragmatic. Yalla. There is work to do. Settle it quickly, but do not settle. Move on.“And forgive [ἄφες (aphes)] us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.” (Luke 11:4)To release debts, whether economic obligations during the sabbatical year (c...

What makes something obligatory, forbidden, or simply allowed in Islam? And how do scholars actually extract these rulings from the Qur'an and Sunnah? In this full lecture, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan teaches Mabadi al-Usul by Ibn Badis. This short yet powerful book opens the door to Usul al-Fiqh, the science behind every fatwa and legal ruling in Islam. In this session, you'll discover: - What Usul al-Fiqh really means and why it matters - Who is legally responsible in Islam (Mukallaf) - The five rulings that govern every action - How rulings are derived from the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma‘ and Qiyas - The role of the Mujtahid, Mufti, Qadi, and Muqallid - Core concepts like sabab (cause), shart (condition), and mani‘ (preventative factor) If you've ever wanted to see how this science works and understand the framework that guides every scholar, this lecture will get you started.

You woke up, reached for your phone before Fajr. Reels, DMs, crypto charts, news - heart still heavy. You prayed… fast. Parents' WhatsApp is still unread. You posted a Qur'an clip to your story, then checked who viewed it. By Maghrib, you're drained and wondering: why haven't I tasted the fruits of Iman yet? In this talk, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan delivers a wake-up reminder: what true Iman actually looks like, the fruits Allah promises in the Dunya and the Akhirah, why Shaytan has no authority over those who believe and rely on Allah, how Allah Himself defends the believers, and why ikhlas (sincerity) is the make-or-break behind every deed. He also shares the story of the Three Men in the Cave, and highlights the everyday obedience many of us overlook: Salah on time and Birr al-Walidayn (dutifulness to parents). If you've ever felt your Iman slipping, performed for people instead of Allah, or chased recognition more than repentance, watch this.

Teaching Arabic to our children isn't just about words and grammar, it's about shaping their identity, strengthening their faith, and opening doors for their future.In this episode, I share the heartfelt rewards my children have gained from learning Arabic: adapting easily to hijrah, building friendships across dialects, thriving in Arabic schools, falling in love with reading, and most importantly, connecting deeply to the Qur'an.It's a story of struggle, sacrifice, and immense blessing and a reminder that teaching Arabic is not just an academic choice, but a life decision with fruits in both dunya and akhirah.Listen now--------If you liked this podcast, take a minute to rate it

From the 2025 ISGAP-Oxford Summer Institute, David Harris talks with educator Dyanne Martin, known for her work on healing and reconciliation, and with interfaith scholar Rick Sopher, noted for his Qur'an–Bible dialogue.

Every dynasty insists on its permanence. Every people clings to the hollow echo of its own voice. Every generation invents its own despair and dares to call it light. Yet Scripture unmasks the fragility of these human building projects.The voices of despair rise in the camp, soothing themselves with stories of morality, while kings and judges build false legacies and nations carve idols in the light of their own eyes. Again and again, the words of God cut across this chorus, splitting the false consolation of narrative with the constellation of Abrahamic function: exposing human futility with divine riddle, and announcing what no human voice can summon: the surplus of grace and light. Or perhaps, when hope is gone and the fall seems final, it descends for you not as light but as despair.Can you even tell the difference? Are you still confused about the Shepherd's identity? Yes, you are. Because you are a Westerner. And now even the East has turned West. All of you are talking about yourselves.Catch up quickly, ḥabībī. God is written. God does not forget. God does not turn. And God, as the Apostle said, is not mocked.This week, I discuss Luke 8:41.Ἰάϊρος (Iairos) ‎/י־א־ר (yod-alef-resh, “light”)‎י־א־ש (yod-alef-shin, “despair”) /‎ي־ء־س (yāʾ-hamza-sīn)The functions י־א־ר (yod-alef-resh, “shine”, “light”) and י־א־ש (yod-alef-shin, “despair”) share the same first two letters (י + א). Only the last letter is different: resh (ר) for shine, shin (ש) for despair. In Semitic languages, this kind of overlap often forms a word-family or cluster where similar-looking roots embody opposite meanings. The placement and structure leave the door open to hear and see them as two edges of the same blade—one edge to shine, the other to despair. The Arabic cognate يَئِسَ (yaʾisa, “to despair”) expands this constellation of function, confirming the polarity as it treads across the breadth of Semitic tradition. (HALOT, pp. 381-382)The Double-Edged Sword of Semitic Function: Despair and Light1. The Voice of the People: DespairLuke 8:49 “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any longer.”The crowd speaks. The household voices despair.This is not faith, not trust, not light, not life. It is the voice of the human being declaring finality. It is the voice of war in the camp, of the cruelty of throwing children away.The Hebrew/Arabic root י־א־ש / ي-ء-س (to despair) captures this perfectly. Across Semitic tradition, despair is the word of man: resignation, futility, darkness.“None despairs تَيْأَسُوا (tayʾasu) of the mercy of God except the disbelieving people.” (Qurʾan, Surah Yūsuf سورة يوسف “Joseph” 12:87)Again, despair is attributed to the people.Human communities, when confronted with death, loss, or trial, give voice to hopelessness.2. The Voice of God: Light and HopeLuke 8:50 “Do not fear; only trust, and she will be saved.”This is not the voice of the people. It is the word of the Lord, cutting through human despair.The name Jairus (יָאִיר, yaʾir “he will shine”) itself belongs not to human commentary but to God's proclamation. The child will live; light will shine.“Until, when the messengers despaired ٱسْتَيْـَٔسَ (istaʾyasa) and thought that they were denied, our help came to them, and whoever we willed was saved. But our might cannot be repelled from the guilty people.” (Qurʾan, Surah Yūsuf سورة يوسف “Joseph” 12:110)The human limit is despair. God's instruction interrupts where human beings fail. His mercy and help arrive at the point where human voices collapse.In both the Gospel and the Qur'an, the sword of Pauline Grace hangs above the scene. On one edge is the people's despair: sharp, cutting, self-inflicted, and final. On the other edge is God's light: sharper still, decisive, and life-giving. Scripture allows no compromise between the two. One voice must be silenced: the word of the people falls, and the word of God stands, forever.‎πίπτω (pipto) / נ־פ־ל (nun-fe-lamed) / ن־ف־ل (nūn-fāʾ-lām)The root carries the function “to fall, fall down, be slain, collapse, fail; to fall in battle, collapse in death, or prostrate,” and in its semantics it denotes a sense of finality, the collapse of life or order.According to Lane's Lexicon, the root ن-ف-ل (nūn–fāʾ–lām) indicates “he gave without obligation, akin to Pauline grace as a free gift” (نَفَلَ nafala), “that which falls to a man's lot without his seeking it” (نَفْل nafl), or “booty, spoil, bounty” (أَنْفَال anfāl), while Tāj al-ʿArūs describes it as “that which falls (يَقَعُ yaqaʿu) to someone's portion.” This resonates with Paul's use of χάρις (charis, grace), where salvation is not earned but freely given: “For by grace [χάριτί (chariti)] you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). Likewise, Paul stresses that justification comes “being justified as a gift [δωρεάν (dorean)] by his grace [τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι (te autou chariti)] through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24).“She has fallen [נָפְלָה (nafelah)], she will not rise again, the virgin Israel. She lies neglected on her land; There is no one to raise her up.” (Amos 5:2)“They fell [ἔπεσαν (epesan)] on their faces before the throne.” (Revelation 7:11)In the Qur'an, Paul's teaching is carried forward from Luke, and the function of the fall is inverted: human failure becomes a gift, a “surplus”, not the false surplus of the billionaire abundance mafia, but what God allots beyond human expectation. Where Hebrew נ־פ־ל (nun-fe-lamed) and Greek πίπτω (pipto) establish the fall as collapse, ruin, and death, Arabic ن-ف-ل (nūn-fāʾ-lām) reshapes the same constellation into grace: what falls to one's portion without effort, the unearned bounty. Thus, the Jairus mashal, where the daughter falls into death yet rises as a surplus of life, finds its perpetuation in the term's Qur'anic itinerary: the fall itself becomes the site of God's grace.Luke 8:49-50: “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” But He answered, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be saved.”Romans 3:24: “Being made righteous as a gift [δωρεάν (dorean)] by his grace [χάριτι (chariti)] through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.”Qurʾan, Surat al-Anfāl سورة الأنفال “The Spoils of War” 8:1: “They ask you about the spoils [ٱلۡأَنفَالِ (al-anfāl)]. Say, ‘The spoils belong to God and the Apostle.'”Judges were intended to function as earthen vessels: temporary saviors raised up by God to deliver Israel, re-establish order under the Torah, and cultivate dependence on him and him alone. Instead, like all dynastic bureaucrats, they mistook the spoils of God's victory as their own possession, converting deliverance into personal legacy. Jair's brief rule in Judges...

So many Muslims today are passionate about studying Islam. But let's be real: most of us start off the wrong way. We binge random lectures on YouTube, scroll through reminders on Instagram, or even ask ChatGPT to explain complex issues, thinking that's enough to make us grow. Others jump from one book to the next with no plan, memorise nothing, never revise, and want to dive into evidences and differences of opinion from day one. But that's not how the scholars sought Islamic knowledge. And that's not the path that leads to understanding. In this lesson, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan shares the blueprint for seeking knowledge the right way: sincerity before anything else, the Qur'an as your foundation, teachers over self-study, and the gradual stages every student must pass through. He explains the dangers of skipping ahead, why structure is more important than hype, and how true knowledge should raise you in rank with Allah when it's paired with action. If you've ever felt unstructured, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, this is the roadmap you've been missing.

It's often touted that Rumi is one of the best-selling poets in the United States. That may be the case but popular renderings of the writings of this 13th-century Muslim have largely detached him from the Islamic tradition, and specifically Sufi mysticism. In Radical Love: Teachings from the Islamic Mystical Tradition (Yale University Press, 2018), Omid Safi, Professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University, places Jalal al-Din alongside luminaries within the rich archive of Islamic Sufi poetry. In this anthology of newly translated poetry Safi focuses on love, especially ‘ishq/eshq, what he renders as “radical love.” The volume organizes translations of Qur'an and Hadith, Sufi mystics and poets into four thematic sections: God of Love, Path of Love, Lover & Beloved, and Beloved Community. Radical Love does an excellent job of introducing readers to key ideas from Islamic mysticism that are rooted in first hand knowledge of Arabic and Persian texts. This book is valuable to both the scholar and the student because of Safi's informed nuance in both the careful selection of source passages and the subtle lyricism of his translations. In our conversation we discussed the translation of Sufi poetry in English, strategies to translation work, love in the Islamic tradition, the reception of Rumi, Ahmed Ghazali's first book in Persian on love, Qawwali singers, contemporary sheikhs, and several key Sufis authors.

It doesn't always look like “mistreating” your wife. Sometimes it's cutting her off mid-sentence because you think you know what she'll say, or scrolling through your phone while she's telling you about her day, or brushing off her feelings with “you're overreacting”. Little by little, these moments chip away at trust, affection, and respect until your wife feels unseen in her own home. In this video, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan shares 25 major mistakes Muslim men make: the kinds of actions and habits that lead to failed marriages, constant conflict, or homes with no real happiness.  He highlights what the Qur'an and Sunnah teach about a husband's role, how the Prophet ﷺ treated his wives, and the practical steps every Muslim man can take to bring back mercy and love into his marriage. Whether you're preparing for marriage or already a husband, this is advice you won't get in casual talks, but it could save your marriage from quiet collapse.
