TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-INSHIQĀQ (Qur’an 84)

 ✨ DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER ✨ Yaum Al-khamis | 20th day of Dhul-Qa'dah, 1447 AH | Thursday, 7th May 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-INSHIQĀQ (Qur’an 84)_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Inshiqāq. Please refer to yesterday's reminder to understand today's reminder properly.  Verses 20–25: Reaction of Disbelievers 20. فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ So what is wrong with them that they do not believe? Commentary: A rhetorical question highlighting stubborn denial. 21. وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ And when the Qur’an is recited, they do not prostrate. Commentary: Lack of humility and submission. 22. بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ Meaning: Rather, the disbelievers deny. Commentary: Their rejection is deliberate. 23. وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ Meaning: But ALLAH Azzawajal knows what they conceal Commentary: Hidden thoughts and intentions are known to ALLAH Azzawajal. 24. فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ Meaning: So give t...

Angels Fight 4 U

 *Angels Fight 4 U* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Someone says something bad to you. That person may be your wife, your husband or any person. They call you a name. They mock your faith, your looks, or your life. Your face gets hot. Your heart beats fast. You want to shout back. You want to prove you are equal to the task. Stop. Close your mouth😷. Choose silence. This is not losing. This is not weak. This is your secret superpower. Why? Let me tell you a story. One day, a man was shouting bad words at Abu Bakr, the best friend of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet was sitting right there, listening. He did not look angry. He even smiled. Abu Bakr stayed quiet. The man insulted him again. Abu Bakr stayed quiet again. But the third time, Abu Bakr’s heart could not take it. He opened his mouth and answered back. Right then, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stood up and walked away. Abu Bakr ran after him, confused. "O Messenger of Allah!" he said...

THE FURY OF HELL-FIRE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE FURY OF HELL-FIRE By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 18, 1447 (6-May-2026) On the Day of Reckoning, the Hell-Fire will intensify in fury, raging with such Shiddat (intensity) that parts of it will seem to tear away from one another out of sheer Ghaḍab (fury) against the criminals. Allāh says: “For those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allāh) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth. It almost bursts up with fury…” [Sūrah Al-Mulk (67): 8-10]  Moreover, Hell will not be satisfied with those cast into it; rather, it will continue to demand more. The gravity of that Day will be beyond what we can fully comprehend, and the Waqi' (reality) is that the majority of people will end up therein. Allāh says: “On the Day when We will say to Hell: ‘Are you filled?’ It will say: ‘Are there any more (to come)?’” [Sūrah Qāf (50): 30] And why would Hell-Fire...

Magic Password

 *Magic Password* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Look at your challenges now. It feels big, right? It feels heavy. You feel helpless. But to Allah, it is small. Yes. Allah (swt) is the One who moved a mountain from a cave. Allah is the One who saved Prophet Yunus (A.S) from the dark inside a huge fish. Your trouble? Allah (swt) can remove it in a second. So why do we panic? Why do we cry,: saying "Why me?" We act as if Allah (swt) cannot see us. We forget HIM. This is our biggest mistake. Let’s remember this: *“Three persons of a people before you, were on a journey when they were overtaken by a storm and therefore they took shelter in a cave. A rock slipped down from the mountain and blocked the exit from cave. One of the 3 men supplicated: “O Lord, I had a cousin that I loved more passionately than any man could love a woman. I tried to seduce her but she would refuse, till in a season of great hardship due to famine, she approached me (for help) and I gave her ...

Luggage of Worry

 Luggage of Worry ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Think of a sin you did. One you remember alone in the dark. Your face gets hot with shame. Your heart feels heavy. You think, "Will Allah forgive me for that?" This worry is a mercy. It is Allah (swt) calling you back. But listen carefully. That shame is a gift. It is your key to escape. My People, Allah (swt) is The Most Merciful. But His anger is real. Yes. And there is one thing that brings His anger fast. It is when you know a thing is wrong, and you say, "Allah, forgive me for what I am about to do," and then you do it anyway. This is not a mistake. This is a choice. You are telling Allah to His face, "I know Your rule, and I choose to break it now." This is a dangerous game. It angers Allah (swt) more. This is why, The Prophet (PBUH) gave us a clear promise: "Everyone from my nation will enter Paradise except those who refuse." They said, “O Messenger of Allah, who will refuse?” T...

Enter my Shade

 *Enter my Shade* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم A day is coming when we will stand on bare feet. We will wait for judgment, but it will not come quickly. Hours? Days? Years? Time is lost. People will scream. Some will cry to Allah: "Even if it is Hellfire, take us there now! We cannot bear this standing!" This is the Day of Judgment. There will be terrible heat of the sun. But then, a call will come. The voice of Allah (swt), full of mercy. HE will call some people: “Come, enter My Shade.” Who are these people? The Prophet (pbuh) told us. One of them is: "A person who gives charity in secret, so much that his right hand does not know what his left hand gave."📚S‌ah‌i‌h‌ al-Bukha‌ri‌ 660, S‌ah‌i‌h‌ Muslim 1031. On that Day, your charity will become your only shade. But there is a condition. Yes! Allah (swt) does not love what you do once. He loves what you do again and again and again. And to be under His Shade, you must make charity your habit. Every si...

Safeguard Your Children And The Youth From Misguided Ideologies And Their Proponents

 *Safeguard Your Children And The Youth From Misguided Ideologies And Their Proponents* Shaykh Saalih Bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan [حفظه الله] said:   ❝Then there is a da’wah which poisons the mindset of the youth against their fathers and their societies – as well as against their rulers. It is likewise a da’wah to corruption which they call Jihaad, it models itself with making permissible the blood of the Muslims as well as those under agreed treaties and the one whose safety is guaranteed, and bringing ruin to the building structures and the residences and the properties [possessions] by way of devastating explosives and horrifying terrorism. So upon you O Muslims is to be cautious of these hidden gatherings – suspicious meetings; and journeys that are unknown. Safeguard your children from the callers to tribulation, those that sneak in amongst them and so they meet with them and then inculcate them with those very ideologies. Then they cause your sons to become isolated from you...

When the Veil is Torn: The Day Secrets Will Speak

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ When the Veil is Torn: The Day Secrets Will Speak ➖➖➖ Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives a brief yet deeply piercing reminder in *Surah At-Tāriq*:  “يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ — The Day when secrets will be put on trial.  فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ — Then man will have no power, nor any helper.”* (86:9–10) This is not merely a warning—it is a revelation of a reality we often ignore. In this world, a person can carefully construct an image. Words can be polished, actions can be displayed, and reputations can be managed. But beneath all of that lies a hidden world: intentions, motives, private thoughts, and silent actions known only to Allah. On that Day, this hidden world will no longer remain hidden. *The Exposure of the Inner Self* The phrase *“تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ”* carries a powerful meaning—it is not just that secrets will be shown, but they will be *tested, examined, and exposed in their true nature*. What was concealed in the chest will be brought forth, pu...

THE WORLD IS A STAGE — AND ALLAH IS THE TRUE SOVEREIGN

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *THE WORLD IS A STAGE — AND ALLAH IS THE TRUE SOVEREIGN* ➖➖➖ This worldly life is nothing but a temporary arena—like a playground where roles are assigned, tested, and eventually withdrawn. Man walks upon it thinking he possesses power, status, or control, yet in reality, he owns nothing except what Allah permits. Consider the one who assumes the position of a king. He is no different from an actor on a stage, adorned with a crown, issuing commands, and moving with pride as though authority truly belongs to him. Yet behind the curtain, he is merely a servant—subject to the will of the Director. At any moment, if the Director wills, that “king” may be stripped of his title, removed from his position, humiliated, imprisoned, or even destroyed. Such is the fragile nature of worldly authority. And indeed, these “plays” are not confined to theatres—they unfold every day across the world. There are those who turn to saints and man-made deities, believing they can answer prayers, w...

WHO DO YOU OBEY?

 FAJR REMINDER: WHO DO YOU OBEY? By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 16, 1447 (4-May-2026) Some people will find themselves entering Hell later because they chose to obey others instead of obeying Allāh. They elevate their chiefs and leaders to a level of unquestioned authority—listening to them and following their commands even when they are misguided and leading others astray. Allāh says: “On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: ‘Oh, would that we had obeyed Allāh and obeyed the Messenger (Muḥmmad ﷺ).’ And they will say: ‘Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (Right) Way. Our Lord! Give them double torment and curse them with a mighty curse!’” [Sūrah Al-Aḥzāb (33): 66-68] Anyone you follow into disobedience to Allāh will not stand by you on the Day of Judgment. In fact, they will wish to have nothing to do with you. Think carefully—are there people in your life, even parents, a spouse, or children, whose...

DON'T DELAY YOUR RETURN TO ALLAH

 *DON'T DELAY YOUR RETURN TO ALLAH* ⛺ _All praise is due to Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving._ We thank Him, we seek His help, and we ask for His forgiveness. May peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Dear brothers and sisters, One of the greatest tricks of Shaytan is making us feel we still have time. Time to repent. Time to change. Time to become better Muslims. But Allah warns us in the Qur’an: “And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.” (Qur’an 24:31) *Notice:* Allah did not say “later.” He said turn now. How many people planned to repent “tomorrow” but never reached it? *Death does not* send a message before it comes. It doesn’t consider your age, your plans, or your dreams. *The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ* said: “Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.” We are ...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Inshiqāq.  Verses 1–5: The End of the World 1. إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ Meaning: When the sky is split open Commentary: The sky, which appears strong and stable, will be torn apart. A powerful reminder that nothing in creation is permanent. 2. وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ Meaning: And listens to its Lord—and it must obey Commentary: The sky will obey ALLAH Azzawajal perfectly. Everything in creation submits, unlike many humans. 3. وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ Meaning: And when the earth is stretched out Commentary: The earth will be flattened, expanded, no mountains or barriers. A preparation for gathering all mankind. 4. وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ Meaning: And throws out what is within it and becomes empty Commentary: The earth will release the dead from graves....

THE LOCATION OF HELL

 FAJR REMINDER: THE LOCATION OF HELL By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 15, 1447 (3-May-2026) Where exactly is Hell located? This is one of the matters of the unseen over which the scholars have held differing views, primarily because no clear, and decisive text conclusively settles the issue. Some scholars, including Ibn ‘Abbās (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu), held the well-known opinion that Hell is situated in the lowest, seventh layer of the earth. They supported this view with the Statement of Allāh: “Nay! Truly, the Record (writing of the deeds) of the Fujjār (disbelievers, sinners, evil-doers and wicked) is (preserved) in Sijjiīn.” [Sūrah Al-Muṭaffifīn (83): 7] Likewise, in the Ḥadīth of Al-Barā’ Ibn ‘Āzib (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) concerning the soul of a disbeliever, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allāh then commands, ‘Write his record (that he will be) in Sijjīn, in the lowest earth.’” [Musnad Aḥmad 18534] Similarly, when Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (Raḥimahullāh) was asked about the location of Hell, he expla...

BismilLah.  Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullah brothers and sisters in Islaam. First of all, my apologies for the delay in sharing today. I arrived in Ghana late yesterday preparing for Hajj be-iznilLah. May ALLAH Azzawajal accept it from us all. You may experienced such delays from today so please be patient as I will hopefully not miss sharing on daily basis in shaa ALLAH.  Let's start with the Context & Background of Suurah Al-Inshiqāq which was revealed in Makkah during a time when the early Muslims were facing denial and mockery from the Quraysh. The Main themes are: The Day of Judgment. The accountability of every human being. The contrast between believers and disbelievers. The certainty of returning to ALLAH  Azzawajal. This suurah vividly describes cosmic events, like the sky splitting and the earth stretching....

SHE WAS ALSO TESTED! By: Umm Affān

 FAJR REMINDER: SHE WAS ALSO TESTED! By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 14, 1447 (2-May-2026) What is the reality of how widows and divorcées are treated in many Muslim communities today? Sadly, many of our sisters endure painful experiences at the hands of some brothers. The situation can become even more difficult for those who come from non-Muslim families, lacking the support system they need. We ask Allāh for His Aid in easing their burdens. Now reflect on how the Muslim community during the time of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) conducted themselves toward women without husbands, such as Sawdah Bint Zam’ah Ibn Qays (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). Their compassion was not mere words—it was sincere and practical. They felt one another’s struggles and stood together in support. Khawlah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) even recommended Sawdah to the Prophet (ﷺ) for marriage, and he accepted and married her. Subḥānallāh! The best of mankind, our beloved Prophet (ﷺ), married Sawdah, a widow. This stands as a powerfu...

FRY THE EGGS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` Friday 1st May 2026/12 Dhul-Qa'da 1447 AH ` * *FRY THE EGGS NOW  BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE* A friend told me a story of how her mother called her around 10:00 pm and asked her to quickly fry  eggs for her. She said, she told her mother she was too tired and pleaded with her to allow her fry them in the morning. The mother insisted on eating the eggs that night but the lady prevailed and the mother kept quiet over the matter and went to sleep.  Early the following morning, the lady went into the kitchen and fried few eggs, well garnished and with fresh fish. She knocked her mother's door to serve her the scrambled eggs; with hot tea. There was no answer. She forcefully opened the door and woke the mother up to eat her eggs, but the mother was dead !!! She screamed! She shook her! She shouted,  "Mummy! Mummy !, Stand up and eat your eggs. I even made hot tea for you with them, mummy I am sorry". Hot tears rolled ...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Burūj with some practical lessons below.  1. Let's stay firm in our faith, no matter the pressure. The believers in the trench chose death over disbelief, this teaches us sincerity and conviction. 2. Oppression never goes unnoticed. Even if justice is delayed, ALLAH Azzawajal sees everything. 3. True success is not dunya, it is Jannah. What looks like loss in this life may be ultimate victory in the next. 4. ALLAH Azzawajal balances justice and mercy. Even oppressors are given a chance to repent, so never lose hope in ALLAH'S forgiveness. 5. Trials are part of the believer’s path. Hardship is not a sign of failure, it may be a sign of being tested and elevated. 6. Beware of being passive in the face of the oppressed. The oppressors sat and watched, sometimes sile...

Chapter Two: When Hearts Began to Lean

Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter Two: When Hearts Began to Lean We lived in a community where no one talked about genotype. It was one of those things that existed quietly in the background, yet no one gave it the attention it deserved. Only a few people even knew what genotype compatibility meant in marriage, and among those who knew, many still ignored it. People got married based on emotions, family approval, and sometimes pressure, without understanding the possible consequences. Despite that, it was rare to openly see the effects, or maybe people simply chose not to speak about them when they happened. Whenever such issues arose, they were hidden behind statements like “it is destiny” or “Allah knows best,” and life moved on as if nothing had ever gone wrong. As for us, we grew up without giving it much thought. At fifteen, our biggest concerns were laughter, friendship, and the simple joys of life. But as we grew older, things began to change in ways we did not f...

The Days That Passed Like a Whisper

 Nīkah Written by Qādr, Tested by Genotype Chapter One: The Days That Passed Like a Whisper My name is Tahira. I live in a family of five—two boys and two girls, including me, making us five in total. We were known to be a respected family in our community, not because of wealth or status, but because of something far more valuable—our adherence to the Deen and the way we carried ourselves with dignity. Our home was simple, yet filled with peace. The mornings began with the sound of Qur’an recitation from my father’s room, soft yet powerful enough to settle the heart. My mother moved through the house with calm authority, her presence alone enough to keep everything in order. My brothers, though playful and sometimes stubborn, knew their boundaries. And my sister and I shared a bond that needed no words. Outside our home, however, was a different world. We were surrounded by people who no longer valued modesty. Women dressed without shame, men spoke without respect, and marriages ...

DELAYING IN FOLLOWING THE IMĀM

 FAJR REMINDER: DELAYING IN FOLLOWING THE IMĀM By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 13, 1447 (1-May-2026) Last week, I addressed the impermissibility and the harmful consequences of deliberately preceding the Imām in Ṣalāh. Today, the focus shifts to another common issue—delaying in following the Imām. In reality, delay in following the Imām falls into two categories: (1) delay due to a valid reason, and (2) delay without any excuse. A delay that occurs for a valid reason may happen when a person becomes distracted, loses concentration, or is unable to hear the Imām clearly. In such a situation, if the Imām has already performed one or two pillars of the prayer—such as Rukū‘ (bowing), rising from it, or Sujūd—the individual should complete what he has missed and then continue following the Imām accordingly. However, if the gap becomes significantly wide—for example, a person is praying behind the Imām, but due to something like a power outage, he is unable to hear and remains standing while...

So he came out of his room in Al-Azhar to ask for some scraps of food. He found an open door from which a pleasant smell of food was coming out of.

MY HANDS

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` ` * *MY HANDS* An old man, probably some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the park bench. He didn't move, just sat with his head down staring at his hands. When I sat down beside him he didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if he was ok. Finally, not really wanting to disturb him but wanting to check on him at the same time, I asked him if he was ok. He raised his head and looked at me and smiled. Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking, he said in a clear strong voice. I didn't mean to disturb you... but you were just sitting here staring at your *hands* and I wanted to make sure you were ok I explained to him. Have you ever looked at your *hands* he asked.

No, I guess I had never really looked at my *hands* as I tried to figure out the point he was making. The...

The Secret to Allah’s Help

 *The Secret to Allah’s Help* ------------------ Do you want Allah (swt) to help you when you or any of your family member needs Allah's help? Then help an orphan smile today and always. Yes! Allah (swt) promises to help those who bring joy to orphans. But listen carefully: Allah's help might not be more money in your pocket. It could be saving you or your loved ones from a sickness, fixing a problem in your family, or giving you everlasting peace of mind. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will help a servant as long as the servant helps his fellow Muslim.” 📚 Authentic Hadith So if you leave an orphan sad on Eid, do not expect Allah to rush and help ......😷. It is that simple. *Why Are They Orphans? A Test for You:* Never think a father died because his family or he offended Allah (swt). That is a lie. And we should never think we are alive with our families because we did something special for Allah (swt). We did not. Yes. Allah (swt) kept us alive as a m...

THE GATES AND THE LEVELS OF HELL

 FAJR REMINDER: THE GATES AND THE LEVELS OF HELL By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 12, 1447 (30-April-2026) Just as Jannah (Paradise) has gates prepared for its people, Hell too has gates awaiting its inhabitants. Allāh says: “So enter the gates of Hell, to dwell therein. Thus evil indeed is the abode of the arrogant.” [Sūrah An-Naḥl (16): 29] While Jannah is blessed with eight gates, Hell has seven. Each of these gates has been assigned a specific group from among the followers of Shayṭān. Every individual will enter through a gate that corresponds to their deeds, and their place within Hell will also be determined by what they earned in this world. Allāh says: “To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.” [Surah Al-Ḥijr (15): 44] The levels of Hell vary, and they are not all the same. They differ based on the extent of disbelief and wrongdoing committed in the worldly life. Among its inhabitants, the hypocrites will suffer the worst fate, ...

DRAGGED TO HELL

 FAJR REMINDER: DRAGGED TO HELL By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 11, 1447 (29-April-2026) On the Day of Resurrection, the disbelievers will be raised in the most humiliating condition—dragged and gathered upon their faces. This will be a severe disgrace and a terrifying punishment for those who rejected the truth and turned away from the Guidance of Allāh. Allāh says: “...And We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf, their abode will be Hell; whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire.” [Sūrah Al-Isrā‘ (17): 97] This reality was further explained by the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) when a man found it difficult to imagine how someone could be made to walk on his face. Anas Ibn Mālik (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated: A man said, “O Allāh's Prophet! Will Allāh gather the non-believers on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “Will not the One Who made him walk on his feet in this world, be able to ma...

THE TERRIBLE ABODE

 FAJR REMINDER: THE TERRIBLE ABODE! By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Qa'dah 10, 1447 (28-April-2026) Many people live as though this worldly life is all that matters. They chase enjoyment without caring whether the means are lawful or unlawful, thinking they must satisfy every desire before death comes. Some even deny the existence of the Hereafter altogether. But the Hereafter is true, certain, and far greater than this temporary life. A wise person does not become fooled by the glitter of this world while neglecting what lies ahead. We must strive seriously to protect ourselves from Hell, for it is the most dreadful destination. Allāh says: “Not [as you think, that you (mankind) will not be resurrected and recompensed for your deeds], but (you men) love the present life of this world, And leave (neglect) the Hereafter.” [Sūrah Al-Qiyāmah (75): 20-21] As Muslims, our focus should never be limited to this world alone. We live here, but our hearts are attached to the life to come. Success is no...

Yusuf & the Devil

 *Yusuf & the Devil* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A brother named Yusuf was tired. Every night, his children cried for no reason. Every morning, he woke up feeling like a heavy weight was on his chest. His money kept disappearing in strange ways. His wife had bad dreams almost every single night. One Friday, an old man came to Yusuf's door selling dates. The old man looked at Yusuf's face and said, "Son, something evil is staying in your house." Yusuf felt his heart drop. "How do you know?" he asked. The old man smiled and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) told us: In Surah al-Baqarah there is an ayah which is the best of all the ayats of the Quran. It is never recited in a house but the Shaytan leaves. That ayah is Ayatul Kursi." Yusuf ran inside. He recited it silently many times. Then he put the audio on repeat. He let it play the whole night and sometimes during the day. The first week, nothing significant changed. But he ...
