God's Unique Attributes

"Stern indeed is your Lord's vengeance." (Verse 12)

This comment suitably contrasts God's punishment with the petty and trifling vengeance exacted by tyrants, and thought by them and by people generally to be very powerful. The real power is that levelled by the Almighty, to whom belongs the heavens and the earth, not that levelled by insignificant people who impose their rule over a limited piece of land for a limited period of time.

The statement also emphasizes the relationship between the addressee, namely, God's Messenger (peace be upon him), and the speaker, who is God Almighty. He says to him, "stern indeed is your Lord's vengeance." He is your Lord, in whos

The beauty of interacting with the قران is ineffable. The verses of the قران have such a profound effect on your heart that they become a source of guidance, reminder, supplication, and a means to get closer to الله عزوجل. To clarify, I would like to share my interaction with the following verses: 'But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn in elevated Gardens˺ (83:18)'. This aya made me ponder if my name will be in Illiyûn. And then I immediately raise my hands and make the dua يا الله make me amongst the people of Illiyûn. 'And He is the All-Forgiving, All-Loving (85:14)'. This aya is emotional for me. Despite my state of ايمان, HE الله عزوجل has been All-Forgiving,

قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسۡمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ. ٢٠:٤٦ 'Allah reassured ˹them˺, 'Have no fear! I am with you, hearing and seeing.'

~Don't lose hope, ALLAH is with us.~

Really wanted to share this thought with my Quranreflect community and i wish and i hope in ALLAH that may He make these words reach to the people, i am writing this for. I was so disturbed and was feeling distress about the situation facing our muslim brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine. I remember few days ago i just randomly got the Quran notification on my phone saying 'what is ALLAH telling you', i immediately opened that and it was surah Buruj.. i started reading it with translation.. ayah after ayah

In today's Jummah khutbah the Imam spoke about the story of the people of the ditch mentioned in Surah Al-Burooj. He related this story to the people in Gaza and the importance of standing up to a tyrannical leader/regime.

He also spoke about how in this era we expect so little from our youth, while the boy in the story changed a nation by his actions and immensely strong Iman. We need to push our youth and believe in them, allow them to try to make a difference, and not relegate their status to 'just kids'.

Throughout my university one topic that was always discussed was the debate of nature versus nurture, we need to understand that it is our responsibility to nurture our youth into th

As I witness Palestinians being burned alive by the evil Zionist regime I am yet again reminded of the story of the people of the ditch in this surah. Allah has provided us with wisdoms regarding every situation, and it is as if this surah speaks of the past and the present simultaneously. Furthermore, the divine name 'Al-Shahid' is a central part of this surah, as well as the act of witnessing. In verses 3, 7 and 9 there are mentions of witnessing in different forms and the way these create a whole showcases the beauty and eloquence of the Qur'an, as well as its majestic ability to appeal to the human consciousness. Allah first swears by the witness and that which is witnessed. Some of

Lesson from Surah-Al buruj,

As one year has gone by since the conflict, the surah Al-Buruj upholds the strong condemnation of the ongoing crises. Upon reflection the moment that stands out to me most is when Allah connected the believer's persecution with the star constellation, we see the stars roam around above the sky without knowing their direction but directing to the creation by their flickering light exactly like the Palestinians who dispersed in the broken and demolished space their unwavering faith, and resistance awakening the whole world to witnessing what is happening! It brings the source of comfort knowing that Allah is most witness
