#may allah put an end to all this pain

[cosmicdeaths]

i'm writing this because i don't know else to do to stop crying. and because there is little else my helpless hands can do to change this horrifying reality we're living in. i am sudanese. and my mother just told me that we've lost yet another relative in the ongoing civil war in sudan. i've also learned that the small lovely town i grew up in, Shambat, in Khartoum Bahri, is currently plagued by this fever the origin of which is yet to be identified. from what little we know whoever gets this fever just does not wake up to see the sun of another day. it might be because the dead bodies people buried in their backyards in a desperate attempt to grieve and honor them are unearthed by the rain. it might be because the entire health system has collapsed months ago and there is no way for these people to attain any form of medical help. we've lost family members with chronic conditions simply because they couldn't get medical attention until it was too late. my own grandfather died of complications that could've easily been managed had they gotten him the proper treatment. we've lost people to this fever, too. a brother and the very next day, his sister. and more keep dying. it hurts and angers me that no one's talking about this. and just as equally my heart breaks for each and every palestinian out there, and i keep praying for them and hoping to be half as patient as they are. i know what it's like to be so scared your entire body goes numb, i know what it's like to be displaced and leave behind everything you've ever known with little hope of ever coming back. to survive and not really feel like you did. i saw this video of a palestinian woman holding her dead baby and just begging to nurse him one more time. i see palestinian men breaking down into tears while trying to comfort children, literal babies, whom they pulled out of the rubble. a little girl who's saying god why didn't you take me along with my mother, god, you know i can't live without her. and i suddenly remember that i know of a friend of my family who just sits there crying helplessly every night because she doesn't know what to tell her starving nieces who are too young to understand that they can't get food because of all the shooting outside. i keep seeing entire villages in the west being completely wiped off the map, reduced to nothing but a black dot of ashes and ruin. and this isn't even a first; ethnical cleansing in the western areas of sudan went on for decades and no one even bat an eye. my heart will never stop bleeding for Darfur. i know of a group of boys who were stuck for days in the very university i went to, waiting for a ceasefire for days on end until one of them died of fear or starvation or illness or whatever it is that we still don't know to this very day, and they had to bury him in the very field they used to play football matches in. a field every student in that university knows and has been to and laughed and cried in. girls are raped and sexually enslaved in terrifying numbers. the biggest maternity hospital in the country, the one i was born in, was looted and patients kicked out. these are all stories that will never leave my memory til the day i die. they're all deaths i will never forgive nor stop mourning. i won't despair and i won't give up, but the heart aches and cracks, and the tears run and run and leave crevices behind. the world is an ugly, ugly place. only hope and solidarity can save us. my sudanese and palestinian brothers and sisters, you are not alone. and you never will be.

[quranwithsehar]

You were applying for a job, but it didn't work out. You were really hoping it would work out, or you were really hoping to get accepted into the university. Unfortunately, you didn't get accepted at the university. Those are the kinds of tests where you could feel depressed or sad, but you can't live in that sadness. Feeling those emotions at first doesn't mean you don't have Sabr. You can have those feelings and experience those emotions, then pick yourself up and try again.

So, you can have a dip, a low, and a high – that's being human. Allah didn't create us as angels. Sometimes we may face other trials, for example, an engagement that broke off, a marriage that ended miserably, or not wanting parents to get divorced, and they did. These situations involve people, people doing things that hurt us or things we wish they didn't do.

I think the solace, at least for me, comes from the stories in the Quran where people much better than us, like Yunus, had no control over his family. He didn't have any control; Ibrahim, an incredible human being, had no say in his father's choices. We cannot control other people's choices, and sometimes those choices deeply hurt us. People much better than us were hurt deeply. Ibrahim AS being kicked out of his house was not easy; being married to Firaun was not easy. For Musa AS, running away from home was not easy. These people were traumatized by many terrible experiences. Allah taught us through them that we can only control what is within our grasp, and we have to learn to let go of what isn't.

In the end, we say, "To Allah, we belong, and to Him, we are going to return." Any problem I'm having, how long is it going to last? Well, as long as I last. I'm not here for that long. When I think about the grand scheme of things, this problem isn't as big as I think it is. And of course, Allah has given us hope too. After every difficulty, there is great ease. Now, put yourself in their shoes; how much did the companions love the Prophet? When he died, how devastated were they? In that moment, for them to believe the Quran is still there, saying, "With difficulty comes twice the ease." They were devastated, in tears, broken, but their faith allowed them to heal and move forward. Allah created so much ease for the ummah afterwards.

That's just this life; it's going to come with trials and difficulties. Allah has made us mentally prepared that life isn't going to be easy; He said it many times. We all have trials; don't believe someone else has an easy life because they appear to on social media. Everyone has things causing them hurt; the person next to you has things causing them hurt. These influencers may talk about the blessings of Allah, but that doesn't mean they're showered with blessings every morning and have no issues.

Sometimes we run after things that are not real, believing them to be real because someone else has them. We may think others don't have any challenges, but everyone deals with their own pain. Allah tests people differently, but we don't see the other person's trial or know that their trial is the same as ours. We might wonder why Allah is not testing someone else or why we couldn't have it easy like they do. We don't know their reality, so these thoughts should give us some comfort. Whatever trial Allah has picked for me, whatever loss, whatever experience, is something I'm supposed to learn from, learn and grow from. Keep moving forward.

Assalamualaikum beautiful sisters 🤍

A couple of days ago I received a " heavy " long ask as she called it, and it was on my mind the whole time, I just felt so helpless..

Today, after some reflecting, and the help of a wonderful sister, I feel able to write some things up. So here we go, bismillah:

@ to the anon with the "uneasy" brother, and wbo asked me for advice, I am going to try and keep this short and straight to the point my dear because it will do you no good to go around the issue. I have three major points to stretch:

1) the reason why I felt so helpless and couldn't really come up with a piece of advice is because Allahuma barik laki you are already doing what I can only advise you of doing: finding refuge in Allah swt, in prayer and duaa, you are already doing that, and in shaa Allah relief will soon come because whomever fears Allah swt, Allah swt will create a way and will make a way for them out of their calamity. That is why I would say to just keep doing what you are already doing, keep turning to Allah swt and asking for His help because there is no other way, you may want to make a habit of tasbeeh or sending prayers upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ at least x100 times a day, it has been known and narrated that people who make that their habit and send a lot of prayers upon him ﷺ in their day find miraculous results in a short time in shaa Allah. - Another thought crossed my mind within the same theme is the following: you did mention that you have found your way to Allah swt later in life, and that when you were younger you had your share of " rebellion" yourself, but now Alhamdullillah, you are upon the truth and you are making sure to be a good pious Muslim girl, and whenever I come across such stories it reminds me of this verse from surat al-ankabut: Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? [Qur'an 2:29] - Now what if this is your test ? Sübhanallah, we are all being tested, all the time, and to each their own specific test, I think if you look at the situation you have at home as your current " test " then maybe your reaction to it and your attitude will change, maybe you will be more patient, less reactive, less emotional about even the subtle acts that now cause you frustration. Does that make sense? Because if we change our perspective on the situation, we systematically change the level of control we have over it and our attitude toward it as well. So we can eventually move from a " my brother is doing this or that to me and I can't deal with it anymore it is a very painful situation for me " mindset to a " Allah swt is testing me with my family, and as any test this too shall come to an end, I have to be patient and I have to be smart about it and try and find out the lesson behind it " you turn the narrative about you not about them, you put the power and the control in your hands and that's how you raise above the situation! Which brings me to my second point:

2) You don't have to react to everything even literally everything they do frustrates you or annoys you in a way. Look sweetie, the villain in your story is also a victim of generations of favoring and spoiling male children in the household, a victim of a patriarchal misogynistic society. They did not wake up and decide to be rude/mean/insensitive toward you. I am not defending anyone because at one point we are all responsible for our actions, Allah swt has given us a mind and a conscious for a reason, but what I am trying to say is this is a more complex situation that in looks like, rooted in lack of parental knowledge and education on how to bring up healthy responsible human beings.. Once you see the bigger picture, you are going to take things less personally, you are going to be able to distance yourself and put your walls up to actually protect yourself and your psyche.. And you see, you tried everything, to protest, to yell, to tell on them etc etc, nothing is working in your favor, on the contrary, things always end up bad for you. Now, how about you actually try to ignore the whole situation, and not give them a reaction at every instance. If they're being mean or disrespectful, just retreat yourself, do not engage in the conflict, say astaghfirullah or la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah and move on. I want to actually make a challenge with you: how well can you ignore this person on a daily basis? Like if they're in the kitchen stay in your room until they exit the kitchen and the coast is clear or just go there, say salam and then pretend they don't exist, pretend they're invisible. I dunno I am just giving an example 😅 The point is: sometimes when we can't change a situation, when it is beyond our control, we just let it go.

Besides, I don't know how good you are at setting boundaries, I really don't wanna bombard you with lots of ideas, so imma let you digest the ones I have already explained. Nevertheless, don't hesitate to set boundaries even with your parents if you deem the situation fitting for that. P.s. a side tip: maybe engage in other activities outside the household? You have mentioned that you work now full-time I guess Allahuma barik laki, and that you are studying? Okay brilliant! But apparently that still gives you a few hours in the daytime in the house. Maybe also holidays and weekends. So how about you find a sort of volunteering activity that would help you give back to the community, and keep you busy and away from the house for a few more hours? Actually that would be beneficial for you in several ways, you would feel that you are doing something good with your time, helping people is one of the greatest ways to sense our worth. ( And that's also a way to meet great people ... Or interesting potential in laws 🙈) which brings me to my last point:

3) You did talk about your concern about how in the Future it would be intense for your future partner to meet your family. Well I have two things to say about this: a) I am sure everyone has their share of toxicity/ dysfunction in their families, no family is perfect, and if your future partner in shaa Allah will be a good man then he will understand - However, the way to go about it is honestly and openness, you shouldn't lie about it or try to paint a different picture from reality, and in return you should be met with support and understanding in shaa Allah. So do not worry much about this point exactly because if he is the one he will want you for yourself and he will not judge your family or your circumstances. b) from the bottom of my heart I hope that you do not use marriage as your " escape root " from your family's house. A lot of girls, unfortunately, do that. They want to escape so badly they actually jump at the first opportunity that presents itself without much thinking or seeing if the guy is actually a good one, and then they realize that they made a mistake. So, even though I pray Allah swt grant you a pious gentle understanding husband one day, I hope you don't think of marriage as your way to freedom and whatnot. I hope you don't make a decision based on the wrong motives. Does that make sense sweetie?

Well, I did say I won't make it long but look at me 😶‍🌫️🫣.

I hope I touched on all the points you mentioned in your ask or at least most of them. I ask every sister who sees this post to make duaa for you.

This was a collaborative work and we pray that Allah swt fills your heart with so much sakinah, calmness and patience to make it through this trial, and reward you immensely for your patience sweetie. May Allah swt soften your parents' heart and guide your brother. May Allah swt mend your heart and place such a joyful event in your life soon that makes up for all this pain. Ameen.

i cant believe that after so long, so much, ive found some way to....... sort of somewhat make peace with all that ive been through.... not always obviously. i have my times. anger, pain, grief, fear, they still consume me at times. i get triggered and feel so for periods of time on end. there are still... parts of me very much not healed rly..but idk, personally. i never thought i would be this okay. i may be tired, sure, but im not consumed by it all. its almost funny to see it, never thought it would happen. so much pain, so much fear so much abuse, how much emotional abuse, how much physical, how many times bought and sold and used, how many times molested, how many times thinking i would die, how many times wanting to do so, how many times being made to feel so horrible, how many years of so much soul shredding pain for so, so, so long after, until so recently......allah has truly put me through the ringer. and yet. and yet. somehow, somehow, slowly, ive learned to live with it. to not let it all consume me all the time. to little by little, maybe perhaps not let go idk, it will always be a part of me bc it wss.. so much. but to accept, to make peace with it, to still see beauty nontheless

[bintadnan]

Your hardships and trials are tailored by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, especially for you. He knows that what you're undergoing during your challenging times is something only you can surmount with His love and care. If He puts you through an agonising phase in your life where you're dangling by a thread then there is no way He is going to abandon you without equipping you with the means necessary to overcome it. It's wrong to draw parallels between our hardships with what another person is enduring. We know that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will never put in a difficult spot which isn't suited for us. Personally speaking, I've had phases where things felt terrible and the-end-of-the-world and my emotions overruled my intellect to an extent that I believed there isn't any exit from this. No solution in sight. No help in sight. Nobody to offer empathy. My heart was withering away from bawling. But SubhanAllah, just remembering this brings tears to my eyes, Allah's way of communication is unparalleled. He will offer assistance in ways that surpasses our imagination. Looking back, I realise that I certainly had the capability to withstand those heartaches as if He was teaching me how to gradually detach from the magnificence and beauty (زينة) of this Dunya and redirect that energy towards Him. This pain which seems immeasurable and eternal in the present ultimately expires leaving us stronger than we expected from us.

Please keep reminding yourself that all of this comes from someone who loves you more than seventy mothers. I reflect on this analogy to illustrate our relationship with Him. Just like during our childhood while we were learning how to walk, advancing towards our parents with our baby steps, eager to cross the distance and reach their end, tripping over until our parents rushed to put us back on our feet, in a similar fashion when we become sensible adults trying to manoeuvre our way towards Him, we begin our journey through these baby steps with love brimming in our hearts, eager to bask in His love. Imagine that overenthusiastic kid mustering his way to reach the safe embrace of his parents, now imagine yourself wavering, tripping over now and then with the intention of reaching the ultimate safety provided by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And once that state is achieved you don't want to desert it because there can never be a better substitute than that. Our childhood was spent seeking the endearing affection of our parents and our adulthood is meant to seek and earn His compassion and love. Arms-outstretched, intent eyes and passionate love. And just like our parents would not miss a second to catch us before we fell flat on our face, our Rabb will walk us through the hurdles on His path, the siraatul mustaqeem by granting us ease and clarity through our difficult decisions- like quitting music, distancing from bad company, rerouting our sleep schedules, prioritising salat over everything or struggling with private sins for example. He is perenially watching over us through each step and there may be times He leaves us all by ourselves only to strengthen our hearts and purify our inner self. Parents might leave their children unmanned for a period but He's constantly guarding us. We might walk towards Him with wobbly steps, a heart gripped with fear and insecurity, but at the end of the day if there's sincerity at the grassroots then He will uplift us and establish our steps firmly on this beautiful path until the distance is bridged and we start to taste the sweetness of His deen and extreme love and care.

"The Healing Liquor." From Surah 16, Surah An Nahl, the Bee.

The world has still not been able to find its righteousness. The RNC is still alive and well and still meeting after years and years of cardinal criminal activity including betraying their own countrymen to the Mormons, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Russians, Iranians, North Koreans, Saudi Arabians, Chinese, and the Houthis. I would know, I was there.

I assure you the Federal Government knows exactly what evil Donald Trump, Karl Rove, John Coe and all those fat fux in Salt Lake City do, but not once so far have the turned the faucet of darkness off and turned the fountain of light on like their duties require.

It is an election year, and I have handed the White House all it needs to do right by humanity and rid us of the Trumps, yet Donald Trump and his regime are still doing evil in the eyes of the Lord. The Quran, however forbids delays in the execution of the whims of the saints.

I have issued direct requests of the worlds lawmakers and law enforcers to curb the trajectory of Donald Trump, the Mormons, and the Republican Party using firm accusations and evidence and just look at us. A swarm of killer bees is on the way.

Our claim against the Republican Party is sacrosanct. They must be punished and their sacrilege called Donald Trump must be put to a horrible end this very day. The earth must not be forced to endure one more of his footsteps.

About this the Quran adds:

16: 63-74:

By Allah! We have surely sent messengers to communities before you ˹O Prophet˺, but Satan made their misdeeds appealing to them. So he is their patron today, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

We have revealed to you the Book only to clarify for them what they differed about, and as a guide and mercy for those who believe.

And Allah sends down rain from the sky, giving life to the earth after its death. Surely in this is a sign for those who listen.

And there is certainly a lesson for you in cattle: We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, from between digested food and blood: pure milk, pleasant to drink.1

And from the fruits of palm trees and grapevines you derive intoxicants1 as well as wholesome provision. Surely in this is a sign for those who understand.

And your Lord inspired the bees: “Make ˹your˺ homes in the mountains, the trees, and in what people construct, and feed from ˹the flower of˺ any fruit ˹you please˺ and follow the ways your Lord has made easy for you.” From their bellies comes forth liquid of varying colours, in which there is healing for people. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.

Allah has created you, and then causes you to die. And some of you are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, Most Capable.

And Allah has favoured some of you over others in provision. But those who have been much favoured would not share their wealth with those ˹bondspeople˺ in their possession, making them their equals.1 Do they then deny Allah’s favours?

And Allah has made for you spouses of your own kind, and given you through your spouses children and grandchildren.1 And He has granted you good, lawful provisions. Are they then faithful to falsehood and ungrateful for Allah’s favours?

Yet they worship besides Allah those ˹idols˺ who do not afford them any provision from the heavens and the earth, nor do they have the power to.

So do not set up equals to Allah, for Allah certainly knows and you do not know.

Commentary:

The world is losing this battle with us. We did not listen to the former messengers in religion and science and instead chose to let the ignorant wrongly guide us. They harbor crimes of the lowest order in their hearts and in their organization and now they are made public and Joe Biden has not made one move to crush. pulverize, punish them and give the intelligent and rightly guided every spare chance needed to save this world.

The RNC cannot be allowed to organize or collect or meet or to be on that November ballot. They are no good. This we no know with great confidence.

My Fatwa is still valid. Raise up your voices and peacefully torment the Biden Administration until Donald Trump and the RNC are no longer able to equip themselves with even more unlawful provisions. The world does not have a chance so long as mankind suffers the delusion it can survive another Trump Administration.

All Joe Biden has to do is exercise his pen, and sue for the peace by enforcing the law. That is all.

Once Trump's regime is dead, we must follow the advice of Muhammad and live like bees that feed from pleasing flowers and follow the ways that are healing for the people. In God's Name, this is how we will go forward.

Corruption, such the kind blooming profusely in America, is the reason this planet is no longer turning, it is why the largest human migration in history is happening, so to the heart of the corruption the sting of the law must go.

International remittances surged by 650 per cent, from USD 128 billion to USD 831 billion between 2000 and 2022. 

Migrant remittances surpass foreign direct investment in boosting the GDP of developing nations. 

281 million international migrants globally; number of those displaced hit a record high by the end of 2022 at 117 million.  

To access the World Migration Report 2024, visit the WMR website. 

Corruption and forced migration are violations of the Quran. If we can do it, if we can follow the Quran and cure the planet of its evil, the legitimacy of Allah, His Prophet and the Verses will never be questioned again. This will automically help billions of people find or return to their own homes, and establish the governments needed to sustain them in peace. Write the White House and insist on this vital step in the onset of the Masjid Meadow at once.

O believers! Remember Allah’s favour upon you when ˹enemy˺ forces came to ˹besiege˺ you ˹in Medina˺,[1] so We sent against them a ˹bitter˺ wind and forces you could not see.[2] And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] In 5 A.H./627 C.E., the Meccan pagans along with some Arab and Jewish tribes (totalling around 10 000 soldiers) laid a siege around Medina, where the Prophet (ﷺ) was positioned with 3000 soldiers. The Prophet (ﷺ) had anticipated the offence and, upon an advice from one of his companions, dug a trench around the city to protect it from invaders. After several unsuccessful attempts to cross the trench, the allied enemies quickly lost morale, and were forced to end the siege due to severe weather conditions. This encounter is commonly known as the Battle of the Trench or the Enemy Alliance.

[2] The angels.

33:10

إِذْ جَآءُوكُم مِّن فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَإِذْ زَاغَتِ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ وَبَلَغَتِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلْحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلظُّنُونَا۠ ١٠

˹Remember˺ when they came at you from east and west,[1] when your eyes grew wild ˹in horror˺ and your hearts jumped into your throats, and you entertained ˹conflicting˺ thoughts about Allah.[2]

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] The believers were reassured while the doubts of the hypocrites grew more fierce.

33:11

هُنَالِكَ ٱبْتُلِىَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَزُلْزِلُوا۟ زِلْزَالًۭا شَدِيدًۭا ١١

Then and there the believers were put to the test, and were violently shaken.

33:12

وَإِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ مَّا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِلَّا غُرُورًۭا ١٢

And ˹remember˺ when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “Allah and His Messenger have promised us nothing but delusion!”

33:13

وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ يَـٰٓأَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَٱرْجِعُوا۟ ۚ وَيَسْتَـْٔذِنُ فَرِيقٌۭ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌۭ وَمَا هِىَ بِعَوْرَةٍ ۖ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًۭا ١٣

And ˹remember˺ when a group of them said, “O people of Yathrib![1] There is no point in you staying ˹here˺, so retreat!” Another group of them asked the Prophet’s permission ˹to leave˺, saying, “Our homes are vulnerable,” while ˹in fact˺ they were not vulnerable. They only wished to flee.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Yathrib was the name of Medina before the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) and Muslim emigrants.

33:14

وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُوا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لَـَٔاتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَّا يَسِيرًۭا ١٤

قُل لَّن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْفِرَارُ إِن فَرَرْتُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَوِ ٱلْقَتْلِ وَإِذًۭا لَّا تُمَتَّعُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ١٦

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Fleeing will not benefit you if you ˹try to˺ escape a natural or violent death. ˹If it is not your time,˺ you will only be allowed enjoyment for a little while.”[1]

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Until the end of your short life on earth.

33:17

قُلْ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَعْصِمُكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ سُوٓءًا أَوْ أَرَادَ بِكُمْ رَحْمَةًۭ ۚ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّۭا وَلَا نَصِيرًۭا ١٧

Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, “Who can put you out of Allah’s reach if He intends to harm you or show you mercy?” They can never find any protector or helper besides Allah.

۞ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُعَوِّقِينَ مِنكُمْ وَٱلْقَآئِلِينَ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ هَلُمَّ إِلَيْنَا ۖ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلْبَأْسَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ١٨

Allah knows well those among you who discourage ˹others from fighting˺, saying ˹secretly˺ to their brothers, “Stay with us,” and who themselves hardly take part in fighting.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:19

أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ ٱلْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَٱلَّذِى يُغْشَىٰ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۖ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ٱلْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ فَأَحْبَطَ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًۭا ١٩

˹They are˺ totally unwilling to assist you. When danger comes, you see them staring at you with their eyes rolling like someone in the throes of death. But once the danger is over, they slash you with razor-sharp tongues, ravenous for ˹worldly˺ gains. Such people have not ˹truly˺ believed, so Allah has rendered their deeds void. And that is easy for Allah.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:20

يَحْسَبُونَ ٱلْأَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا۟ ۖ وَإِن يَأْتِ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِى ٱلْأَعْرَابِ يَسْـَٔلُونَ عَنْ أَنۢبَآئِكُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ فِيكُم مَّا قَـٰتَلُوٓا۟ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ٢٠

They ˹still˺ think that the enemy alliance has not ˹yet˺ withdrawn. And if the allies were to come ˹again˺, the hypocrites would wish to be away in the desert among nomadic Arabs, ˹only˺ asking for news about you ˹believers˺. And if the hypocrites were in your midst, they would hardly take part in the fight.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:21

لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌۭ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا ٢١

Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:22

وَلَمَّا رَءَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلْأَحْزَابَ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَصَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ ۚ وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّآ إِيمَـٰنًۭا وَتَسْلِيمًۭا ٢٢

When the believers saw the enemy alliance, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us. The promise of Allah and His Messenger has come true.” And this only increased them in faith and submission.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:23

مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌۭ صَدَقُوا۟ مَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُۥ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ ۖ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا۟ تَبْدِيلًۭا ٢٣

Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah.[1] Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ˹with their lives˺, others are waiting ˹their turn˺. They have never changed ˹their commitment˺ in the least.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] See footnote for 7:46.

33:24

لِّيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ إِن شَآءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا ٢٤

˹It all happened˺ so Allah may reward the faithful for their faithfulness, and punish the hypocrites if He wills or turn to them ˹in mercy˺. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:25

وَرَدَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا۟ خَيْرًۭا ۚ وَكَفَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلْقِتَالَ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًۭا ٢٥

And Allah drove back the disbelievers in their rage, totally empty-handed. And Allah spared the believers from fighting. For Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:26

وَأَنزَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَـٰهَرُوهُم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعْبَ فَرِيقًۭا تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًۭا ٢٦

And He brought down those from the People of the Book[1] who supported the enemy alliance from their own strongholds, and cast horror into their hearts. You ˹believers˺ killed some, and took others captive.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] The Jews of Banu Quraiẓah who had violated their treaty with the Muslims and sided with the enemy alliance. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked how they wished to be judged, and they chose to be judged by their book, the Torah—in which the penalty for treason is death.

33:27

وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَـٰرَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُمْ وَأَرْضًۭا لَّمْ تَطَـُٔوهَا ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرًۭا ٢٧

He has also caused you to take over their lands, homes, and wealth, as well as lands you have not yet set foot on. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:28

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًۭا جَمِيلًۭا ٢٨

O Prophet! Say to your wives, “If you desire the life of this world and its luxury, then come, I will give you a ˹suitable˺ compensation ˹for divorce˺ and let you go graciously.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:29

وَإِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَـٰتِ مِنكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًۭا ٢٩

But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the ˹everlasting˺ Home of the Hereafter, then surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:30

يَـٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ مَن يَأْتِ مِنكُنَّ بِفَـٰحِشَةٍۢ مُّبَيِّنَةٍۢ يُضَـٰعَفْ لَهَا ٱلْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًۭا ٣٠

O wives of the Prophet! If any of you were to commit a blatant misconduct, the punishment would be doubled for her. And that is easy for Allah.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:31

۞ وَمَن يَقْنُتْ مِنكُنَّ لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَتَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًۭا نُّؤْتِهَآ أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهَا رِزْقًۭا كَرِيمًۭا ٣١

And whoever of you devoutly obeys Allah and His Messenger and does good, We will grant her double the reward, and We have prepared for her an honourable provision.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:32

يَـٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ إِنِ ٱتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ ٱلَّذِى فِى قَلْبِهِۦ مَرَضٌۭ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًۭا مَّعْرُوفًۭا ٣٢

O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women: if you are mindful ˹of Allah˺, then do not be overly effeminate in speech ˹with men˺ or those with sickness in their hearts may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:33

وَقَرْنَ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتِينَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِعْنَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ ٱلرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًۭا ٣٣

Settle in your homes, and do not display yourselves as women did in the days of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance. Establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah only intends to keep ˹the causes of˺ evil away from you and purify you completely, O  members of the ˹Prophet’s˺ family!

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:34

وَٱذْكُرْنَ مَا يُتْلَىٰ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْحِكْمَةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ لَطِيفًا خَبِيرًا ٣٤

˹Always˺ remember what is recited in your homes of Allah’s revelations and ˹prophetic˺ wisdom.[1] Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Allah’s revelations refers to verses of the Quran whereas prophetic wisdom refers to the sayings and teachings of the Prophet (ﷺ), known collectively as ḥadîth.

33:35

إِنَّ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَٱلْمُسْلِمَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ وَٱلْقَـٰنِتَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرَٰتِ وَٱلْخَـٰشِعِينَ وَٱلْخَـٰشِعَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَٱلْمُتَصَدِّقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰٓئِمِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰٓئِمَـٰتِ وَٱلْحَـٰفِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَٱلْحَـٰفِظَـٰتِ وَٱلذَّٰكِرِينَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا وَٱلذَّٰكِرَٰتِ أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةًۭ وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًۭا ٣٥

Surely ˹for˺ Muslim men and women, believing men and women,[1] devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women, men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often—for ˹all of˺ them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Though Islam and Îmân are sometimes used interchangeably in the Quran, Îmân is a higher state of Islam. A Muslim is someone who observes the five pillars of Islam, but a believer is someone with strong faith, who does everything purely for the sake of Allah, and is mindful of Allah in everything they say or do. Every Mu'min (believer/faithful) is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is a Mu'min. See 49:14.

33:36

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍۢ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَـٰلًۭا مُّبِينًۭا ٣٦

It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter.[1] Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ˹far˺ astray.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Meaning, if Allah makes a ruling in the Quran or the Prophet (ﷺ) makes a ruling, then a Muslim is not allowed to seek judgment from anyone else, nor follow their own desires.

33:37

وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِىٓ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخْفِى فِى نَفْسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَىٰهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيْدٌۭ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًۭا زَوَّجْنَـٰكَهَا لِكَىْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌۭ فِىٓ أَزْوَٰجِ أَدْعِيَآئِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا۟ مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًۭا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولًۭا ٣٧

And ˹remember, O  Prophet,˺ when you said to the one[1] for whom Allah has done a favour and you ˹too˺ have done a favour,[2] “Keep your wife and fear Allah,” while concealing within yourself what Allah was going to reveal. And ˹so˺ you were considering the people, whereas Allah was more worthy of your consideration. So when Zaid totally lost interest in ˹keeping˺ his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And Allah’s command is totally binding.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] This refers to Zaid ibn Ḥârithah, the Prophet’s adopted son before adoption was made unlawful. His wife, Zainab bint Jaḥsh was from a prestigious family. Because Zaid and Zainab came from two different social classes, the marriage was not successful. Eventually, Zaid insisted on divorcing his wife, despite several appeals from the Prophet (ﷺ). Since one’s adopted son was no longer considered to be one’s own son, the Prophet (ﷺ) was later allowed to marry Zainab.

[2] Allah’s favour to Zaid was to guide him to Islam, and the Prophet’s favour was to free him from slavery.

33:38

مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍۢ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ ۖ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قَدَرًۭا مَّقْدُورًا ٣٨

There is no blame on the Prophet for doing what Allah has ordained for him. That has been the way of Allah with those ˹prophets˺ who had gone before. And Allah’s command has been firmly decreed.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:39

ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُۥ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِيبًۭا ٣٩

˹That is His way with˺ those ˹prophets˺ who deliver the messages of Allah, and consider Him, and none but Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:40

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًۭا ٤٠

Muḥammad is not the father of any of your men,[1] but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] He (ﷺ) is not the father of Zaid (mentioned in 33:37) or any other man. The Prophet (ﷺ) had three biological sons, who all died in childhood.

33:41

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ذِكْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا ٤١

O believers! Always remember Allah often,

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:42

وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةًۭ وَأَصِيلًا ٤٢

and glorify Him morning and evening.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:43

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَلِّى عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتُهُۥ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَكَانَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًۭا ٤٣

He is the One Who showers His blessings upon you—and His angels pray for you—so that He may bring you out of darkness and into light. For He is ever Merciful to the believers.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:44

تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ سَلَـٰمٌۭ ۚ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًۭا كَرِيمًۭا ٤٤

Their greeting on the Day they meet Him will be, “Peace!” And He has prepared for them an honourable reward.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:45

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ شَـٰهِدًۭا وَمُبَشِّرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭا ٤٥

O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a deliverer of good news, and a warner,

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:46

وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَسِرَاجًۭا مُّنِيرًۭا ٤٦

and a caller to ˹the Way of˺ Allah by His command, and a beacon of light.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:47

وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ فَضْلًۭا كَبِيرًۭا ٤٧

Give good news to the believers that they will have a great bounty from Allah.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:48

وَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَدَعْ أَذَىٰهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلًۭا ٤٨

Do not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Overlook their annoyances, and put your trust in Allah. For Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:49

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍۢ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا ۖ فَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ وَسَرِّحُوهُنَّ سَرَاحًۭا جَمِيلًۭا ٤٩

O believers! If you marry believing women and then divorce them before you touch them,[1] they will have no waiting period for you to count,[2] so give them a ˹suitable˺ compensation, and let them go graciously.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] If divorce is pronounced after the consummation of marriage, a waiting period of three months is observed to give the couple a chance to get back together and to see if the wife is pregnant (see 65:4). But if the divorce happens before the marriage is consummated, then there is no waiting period.

[2] Before the marriage is consummated.

33:50

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَٰجَكَ ٱلَّـٰتِىٓ ءَاتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّآ أَفَآءَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمِّكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّـٰتِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَـٰلَـٰتِكَ ٱلَّـٰتِى هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ وَٱمْرَأَةًۭ مُّؤْمِنَةً إِن وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَهَا لِلنَّبِىِّ إِنْ أَرَادَ ٱلنَّبِىُّ أَن يَسْتَنكِحَهَا خَالِصَةًۭ لَّكَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۗ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا فَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِىٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌۭ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا ٥٠

O Prophet! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their ˹full˺ dowries as well as those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession, whom Allah has granted you.[1] And ˹you are allowed to marry˺ the daughters of your paternal uncles and aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts, who have emigrated like you. Also ˹allowed for marriage is˺ a believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet ˹without dowry˺ if he is interested in marrying her—˹this is˺ exclusively for you, not for the rest of the believers.[2] We know well what ˹rulings˺ We have ordained for the believers in relation to their wives and those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession. As such, there would be no blame on you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] See footnote for 4:3.

[2] This ruling was exclusively for the Prophet (which he never took advantage of), but Muslims have to pay a dowry to their wives. Some women did offer themselves to the Prophet (ﷺ) in marriage, but he declined.

33:51

۞ تُرْجِى مَن تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔوِىٓ إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًۭا ٥١

It is up to you ˹O Prophet˺ to delay or receive whoever you please of your wives. There is no blame on you if you call back any of those you have set aside.[1] That is more likely that they will be content, not grieved, and satisfied with what you offer them all. Allah ˹fully˺ knows what is in your hearts. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] The Prophet’s married life can be classified as follows:Until the age of 25: he was single.Age 25 – 50: he was married only to Khadîjah.Age 50 – 52: he was single after Khadîjah’s death.Age 53 – his death at the age of 63: he had a total of ten wives. Many of these marriages were to widows (who had been left with their children without a provider) and in some cases to foster stronger ties with some of his companions and neighbouring tribes. Of all the women he married, ’Ȃishah was the only virgin.

33:52

لَّا يَحِلُّ لَكَ ٱلنِّسَآءُ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَلَآ أَن تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ رَّقِيبًۭا ٥٢

It is not lawful for you ˹O Prophet˺ to marry more women after this, nor can you replace any of your present wives with another, even if her beauty may attract you—except those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession. And Allah is ever Watchful over all things.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:53

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَدْخُلُوا۟ بُيُوتَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَىٰ طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَـٰظِرِينَ إِنَىٰهُ وَلَـٰكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَٱدْخُلُوا۟ فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَٱنتَشِرُوا۟ وَلَا مُسْتَـْٔنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِى ٱلنَّبِىَّ فَيَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنكُمْ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسْتَحْىِۦ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَـٰعًۭا فَسْـَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٍۢ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُؤْذُوا۟ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓا۟ أَزْوَٰجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًا ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمْ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا ٥٣

O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:54

إِن تُبْدُوا۟ شَيْـًٔا أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمًۭا ٥٤

Whether you reveal something or conceal it, surely Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:55

لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِىٓ ءَابَآئِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآئِهِنَّ وَلَآ إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآءِ إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ وَلَآ أَبْنَآءِ أَخَوَٰتِهِنَّ وَلَا نِسَآئِهِنَّ وَلَا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُنَّ ۗ وَٱتَّقِينَ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدًا ٥٥

There is no blame on the Prophet’s wives ˹if they appear unveiled˺ before their fathers,[1] their sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their fellow ˹Muslim˺ women, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in their possession. And be mindful of Allah ˹O wives of the Prophet!˺ Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Paternal and maternal uncles are similar to the fathers.

33:56

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا ٥٦

Indeed, Allah showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. O  believers! Invoke Allah’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:57

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًۭا مُّهِينًۭا ٥٧

Surely those who offend Allah[1] and His Messenger[2] are condemned by Allah in this world and the Hereafter. And He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] By attributing children to Him or associating gods with Him in worship.

[2] By calling him a liar or speaking ill of him and his family.

33:58

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا ٱكْتَسَبُوا۟ فَقَدِ ٱحْتَمَلُوا۟ بُهْتَـٰنًۭا وَإِثْمًۭا مُّبِينًۭا ٥٨

As for those who abuse believing men and women[1] unjustifiably, they will definitely bear the guilt of slander and blatant sin.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] By harming them physically or accusing them falsely.

33:59

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَٰجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَـٰبِيبِهِنَّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا ٥٩

O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[1] 

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] He has forgiven what Muslim women did in the past because they were not obligated to cover up.

33:60

۞ لَّئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْمُرْجِفُونَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ٦٠

If the hypocrites, and those with sickness in their hearts, and rumour-mongers in Medina do not desist, We will certainly incite you ˹O Prophet˺ against them, and then they will not be your neighbours there any longer.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:61

مَّلْعُونِينَ ۖ أَيْنَمَا ثُقِفُوٓا۟ أُخِذُوا۟ وَقُتِّلُوا۟ تَقْتِيلًۭا ٦١

˹They deserve to be˺ condemned. ˹If they were to persist,˺ they would get themselves seized and killed relentlessly wherever they are found![1]

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] This verse is intended to deter the hypocrites. The Prophet (ﷺ) never killed any hypocrite as long as they did not join the enemy to attack and kill Muslims.

33:62

سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًۭا ٦٢

That was Allah’s way with those ˹hypocrites˺ who have gone before. And you will find no change in Allah’s way.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:63

يَسْـَٔلُكَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا ٦٣

People ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the Hour. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah. You never know, perhaps the Hour is near.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:64

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيرًا ٦٤

Surely Allah condemns the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing Fire,

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:65

خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا ۖ لَّا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيًّۭا وَلَا نَصِيرًۭا ٦٥

to stay there for ever and ever—never will they find any protector or helper.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:66

يَوْمَ تُقَلَّبُ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ يَقُولُونَ يَـٰلَيْتَنَآ أَطَعْنَا ٱللَّهَ وَأَطَعْنَا ٱلرَّسُولَا۠ ٦٦

On the Day their faces are ˹constantly˺ flipped in the Fire, they will cry, “Oh! If only we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:67

وَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّآ أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَآءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا ٱلسَّبِيلَا۠ ٦٧

And they will say, “Our Lord! We obeyed our leaders and elite, but they led us astray from the ˹Right˺ Way.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:68

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِهِمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَٱلْعَنْهُمْ لَعْنًۭا كَبِيرًۭا ٦٨

Our Lord! Give them double ˹our˺ punishment, and condemn them tremendously.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:69

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاذَوْا۟ مُوسَىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِمَّا قَالُوا۟ ۚ وَكَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَجِيهًۭا ٦٩

O believers! Do not be like those who slandered Moses, but Allah cleared him of what they said. And he was honourable in the sight of Allah.[1]

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] The Quran does not specify how Moses was slandered by some of his people. Some narrations suggest that he was either falsely accused of adultery (see footnote for 28:76), killing his brother Aaron (who died a natural death), or having a skin disease since he, unlike others, used to bathe with his clothes on.

33:70

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَقُولُوا۟ قَوْلًۭا سَدِيدًۭا ٧٠

O  believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:71

يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا ٧١

He will bless your deeds for you, and forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, has truly achieved a great triumph.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:72

إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا ٱلْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَن يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ ظَلُومًۭا جَهُولًۭا ٧٢

Indeed, We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they ˹all˺ declined to bear it, being fearful of it. But humanity assumed it, ˹for˺ they are truly wrongful ˹to themselves˺ and ignorant ˹of the consequences˺,

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

33:73

لِّيُعَذِّبَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَٱلْمُشْرِكَـٰتِ وَيَتُوبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۢا ٧٣

so that Allah will punish hypocrite men and women and polytheistic men and women, and Allah will turn in mercy to believing men and women. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[1] 

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] This is a guarantee from Allah that if the hypocrites and polytheists ever turn to Him in repentance, He is always willing to forgive them.

End of life sunnahs of the Messenger (saw) தமிழ்

SubhanAllah, the life of the Messenger (saw) from his birth to his passing is full of naseeha, showing us how to be successful at each stage of life, including end of life. SubhanAllah, there are so many end of life/ palliative care plans drawn daily that focus on a comfortable dunya end. How many care plans are written for akhirah beginnings?

Death will meet everyone yet it can feel so distant/ non existent for the bulk of humanity. It is rarely contemplated as the mere thought of losing loved ones is too painful to imagine. The pangs of death spare no one... not even the Messenger (saw).

Alhamdulillah for the sirah that teaches believers of every century how to lead and finish successful lives upon the sunnah. Alhamdulillah to learn from the Messenger (saw) on what our concerns should be at the end of life.

End of life Sunnah practices-

🔰Aishah (ra) mentioned the Messenger (saw) beautified himself (using the miswak) before he passed away. Aisha’s (ra) younger brother, Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr, came to visit our Rasool (saw).

Abd al-Rahman had a miswak that he was using to brush his teeth with. The Messenger (saw) weakly looked at the miswak. Aishah (ra) asked, "Do you want the miswak?" And he (saw) motioned, "Yes," so she got it from Abd al-Rahman, turned it around, bit the other side to loosen it, and handed it to him (saw).

Despite being at the cusp of death with a fever, the Messenger (saw) wanted to meet his Lord in the best possible state. Aisha (ra) later narrated, "The Prophet PBUH held onto the miswak with a vigor that shocked me. And he did miswak as I have never seen before."

SubhanAllah, this teaches that the Messenger (saw) wanted to be beautiful for his Lord at all times. He prepared throughout his life beautifully in all aspects -spiritually, mentally and emotionally and then aimed to do so physically for his meeting with his Lord.

This teaches us that our concern throughout life should be in being beautiful for our Lord by having a beautiful connection to him to performing beautiful Salah to embodying beautiful character etc. Life should always consist of beautiful preparation for our meeting with our Lord.

🔰The Messenger (saw) smiled looking at the Sahaba (ra) for the last time,

Anas (ra) said, "The last time we saw the face of the Prophet PBUH was when he had lifted the curtain." (The curtain of the house of the Messenger (saw) opened into the Prophet’s (saw) masjid.) This is the Fajr of Monday, the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal in the 11th year of the Hijrah. The Messenger (saw) lifted the curtain and saw his Ummah praying the salah. His face was beaming with joy — and that smile was the last memory that the Sahaba (ra) had of our Rasool (saw).

When we pray, let us remind ourselves that the Ummah praying was how the Messenger (saw) saw his Ummah last and it brought him immense joy. May Allah Azzawajjal allow the Ummah of the 21st century the ability to establish salah in the manner that made our Rasool (saw) smile Allahuma ameen.

🔰The Messenger’s (saw) concern was accountability before his Lord

On Sunday, the day before the Messenger (saw) passed away, he (saw) asked Aishah (ra), "How much money do I have?" Aisha (ra) found the wallets/pouches and took out seven silver coins. Silver is extremely cheap even to this day. He (saw) only had seven silver coins, which is around £15 (today.)

This is the entire possession he had on the last day of his life. He (saw) held those seven dirhams in his hand —and was putting them in one hand and the other— and he said, "What will I say to Allah if I meet Him with these coins?"

He gave it back in Aisha's hands and said, "Go give it to the poor now," and he fell unconscious again. When he (saw) woke up, he (saw) asked Aisha (ra), "Have you given it to the poor?" But it was not on her priority list — taking care of her husband (saw) came first; so she said, "I'll do it [later]." And again, he (saw) fainted, and again, he woke up saying, "Have you given it to the poor?" And he continued to ask throughout Sunday until Aisha (ra) realised the Messenger (saw) will not be content until she gave the coins away. Thus she got rid of everything in the house of money.

SubhanAllah, we learn the Messenger (saw) knew that every soul is accountable to Allah Azzawajjal. Despite being the perfect abd, he (saw) left no stone unturned in pleasing his Rabb. He is going through the pangs of death yet his concern is his Lord pleased with him. He uses his blessings to please His Lord.

🔰The last phrase that the Messenger (saw) said on the last khutbah was, "Al-salah, al-salah. And fear Allah with regards to the weak and the oppressed of society."

SubhanAllah, his concern for the Ummah is Salah and justice for the weak. SubhanAllah, the Messenger (saw) is telling the Ummah to fear Allah as the oppressor will be punished by the Lord of the Worlds. One should fear Allah Azzawajjal as the oppressed will have the opportunity to complain to Him on the Day of Judgement and be granted perfect justice.

🔰Whilst ill, the Messenger (saw) addressed the Ummah, "If there is anybody who has any right that I have not fulfilled, or any debt that I have not paid, come now and ask me before the Day of Judgment." And in one version (Sahih Bukhari), he said, "If I have hit anybody unjustly in my whole life, then here is my back; come and hit me now before the Day of Judgment."

SubhanAllah, one should rush to repay debts, loans, small change they have borrowed as soon as possible... for it is a debt that is not forgotten... unpaid debts are liable for payment on the day of Judgment. SubhanAllah, apologise to all those one has wronged (in anyway) from children to adults and get the weight of sin removed before the Day of Judgment.

Alhamdulillah to learn that the focus of the Messenger (saw) throughout his prime and end of life was always Allah Azzawajjal pleased. Pleasing his Lord was consistently his number one priority. May Allah Azzawajjal allow us and our loved ones the ability to follow the sunnah of the Messenger (saw) during each phase of life and allow us to meet our Lord pleased with us Allahuma ameen.

தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கை முடிவு சுன்னாக்கள்

சுப்ஹானல்லாஹ், தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் பிறப்பு முதல் அவர் மறைவு வரையிலான வாழ்க்கை நஸீஹா நிறைந்தது, வாழ்க்கையின் முடிவு உட்பட வாழ்க்கையின் ஒவ்வொரு கட்டத்திலும் எவ்வாறு வெற்றி பெறுவது என்பதை நமக்குக் காட்டுகிறது. சுப்ஹானல்லாஹ், வாழ்க்கையின் முடிவு/ நோய்த்தடுப்பு சிகிச்சை திட்டங்கள் தினசரி வரையப்படுகின்றன, அவை ஒரு வசதியான துன்யா முடிவில் கவனம் செலுத்துகின்றன. அகிரா ஆரம்பத்திற்காக எத்தனை பராமரிப்பு திட்டங்கள் எழுதப்பட்டுள்ளன?

மரணம் அனைவரையும் சந்திக்கும், ஆனால் அது மனிதகுலத்தின் பெரும்பகுதிக்கு மிகவும் தொலைவில்/இல்லாததாக உணர முடியும். அன்புக்குரியவர்களை இழக்கும் எண்ணம் கற்பனை செய்வதற்கு மிகவும் வேதனையாக இருப்பதால் இது அரிதாகவே சிந்திக்கப்படுகிறது. மரணத்தின் வேதனை யாரையும் விடவில்லை... இறைத்தூதர்(ஸல்) அவர்களையும் கூட விடவில்லை.

ஒவ்வொரு நூற்றாண்டிலும் உள்ள விசுவாசிகளுக்கு சுன்னாவின் அடிப்படையில் வெற்றிகரமான வாழ்க்கையை எவ்வாறு நடத்துவது மற்றும் முடிப்பது என்பதை கற்றுக்கொடுக்கும் சிராவிற்கு அல்ஹம்துலில்லாஹ். அல்ஹம்துலில்லாஹ், வாழ்வின் இறுதியில் நமது கவலைகள் என்னவாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதை இறைத்தூதர்(ஸல்) அவர்களிடமிருந்து கற்றுக் கொள்ள.

வாழ்க்கையின் முடிவு சுன்னா நடைமுறைகள்-

🔰ஆயிஷா (ரலி) அவர்கள் இறப்பதற்கு முன் தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் (மிஸ்வாக்கைப் பயன்படுத்தி) தங்களை அழகுபடுத்திக் கொண்டார்கள் என்று குறிப்பிட்டார்கள். ஆயிஷா (ரலி) அவர்களின் இளைய சகோதரர் அப்துல் ரஹ்மான் இப்னு அபீபக்கர் அவர்கள் எங்கள் ரசூல் (அலை) அவர்களைச் சந்திக்க வந்தார்கள்.

அப்துல் ரஹ்மானுக்கு பல் துலக்க ஒரு மிஸ்வாக் இருந்தது. தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் மிஸ்வாக்கை பலவீனமாகப் பார்த்தார்கள். ஆயிஷா(ரலி) அவர்கள், "உங்களுக்கு மிஸ்வாக் ��ேண்டுமா?" அவர், "ஆம்" என்று சைகை செய்து, அப்துல்-ரஹ்மானிடம் இருந்து பெற்று, அதைத் திருப்பி, அதைத் தளர்த்த மறுபக்கத்தைக் கடித்து, அவரிடம் கொடுத்தார்கள்.

காய்ச்சலால் மரணத்தின் உச்சியில் இருந்த போதிலும், தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் சிறந்த நிலையில் தம் இறைவனைச் சந்திக்க விரும்பினார்கள். பின்னர் ஆயிஷா (ரலி) அவர்கள் கூறினார்கள், "நபி ஸல் அவர்கள் மிஸ்வாக்கைப் பிடித்து என்னை அதிர்ச்சிக்குள்ளாக்கினார். மேலும் நான் இதுவரை கண்டிராத வகையில் மிஸ்வாக் செய்தார்கள்."

சுப்ஹானல்லாஹ், தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் எப்பொழுதும் தம் இறைவனுக்காக அழகாக இருக்க விரும்பினார்கள் என்பதை இது போதிக்கிறது. அவர் தனது வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் ஆன்மீக ரீதியாகவும், மன ரீதியாகவும் மற்றும் உணர்ச்சி ரீதியாகவும் அனைத்து அம்சங்களிலும் அழகாகத் தயாராகி, பின்னர் தனது இறைவனை சந்திப்பதற்காக உடல் ரீதியாக அதைச் செய்வதை நோக்கமாகக் கொண்டார்கள்.

வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் நமது அக்கறை நம் இறைவனுக்கு அழகாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதை இது நமக்குக் கற்பிக்கிறது.

🔰தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் கடைசியாக ஸஹாபா (ரலி) அவர்களைப் பார்த்துச் சிரித்தார்கள்.

நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் முகத்தை நாங்கள் கடைசியாகப் பார்த்தது அவர்கள் திரையைத் தூக்கியபோதுதான் என்று அனஸ்(ரலி) கூறினார்கள். (நபி (ஸல்) அவர்களின் மஸ்ஜிதில் தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் வீட்டின் திரை திறக்கப்பட்டது.) இது ஹிஜ்ரத்தின் 11 வது ஆண்டு ரபி அல் அவ்வல் 12 ஆம் தேதி திங்கட்கிழமை ஃபஜ்ர் ஆகும். தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் திரையைத் தூக்கிவிட்டு, தம் உம்மத் தொழுகையைத் தொழுவதைக் கண்டார்கள். அவரது முகம் மகிழ்ச்சியில் பிரகாசித்தது - அந்தச் சிரிப்பு சஹாபா (ரலி) அவர்களுக்கு எங்கள் ரசூல் (அலை) அவர்களின் கடைசி நினைவாக இருந்தது.

நாம் தொழுகையின் போது, ​​உம்மத் தொழுகையை இறைத்தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் எப்படிக் கடைசியாகப் பார்த்தார்கள், அது அவருக்கு அளவற்ற மகிழ்ச்சியைத் தந்தது என்பதை நினைவூட்டுவோம். அல்லாஹ் அஸ்ஸவஜ்ஜால் 21 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டின் உம்மத்திற்கு நமது ரசூல் (அலை) அவர்கள் அல்லாஹுமா ஆமீனை புன்னகைக்க வைத்த விதத்தில் தொழுகையை நிலைநாட்டும் திறனை அனுமதிப்பானாக.

🔰இறைத்தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் கவலை தம் இறைவனிடம் பொறுப்புக் கூறுவது

இறைத்தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் மறைவதற்கு முந்தைய நாள் ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை, அவர்கள் ஆயிஷா (ரலி) அவர்களிடம், “என்னிடம் எவ்வளவு பணம் இருக்கிறது?” என்று கேட்டார்கள். ஆயிஷா (ரலி) பணப்பைகள் / பைகளை கண்டுபிடித்து ஏழு வெள்ளி நாணயங்களை எடுத்தார்கள். இன்றுவரை வெள்ளி மிகவும் மலிவானது. அவரிடம் (இன்று) ஏழு வெள்ளி நாணயங்கள் மட்டுமே இருந்தன, அது சுமார் £15 ஆகும்.

As inward as a Thoughts might flash on, because the seal is sense, to draw the Frank.

Or, if it made in loving whale rise—then from the Night-Dress give, and call’d my break, now be butcher’d the mount up, and of a crowd of words spak his toilet, while still we repair; the Cosmetic Pow’rs combine, and Adoration of those river damm’d from Fifteen hundred maiden hath none.

Sometimes we may find ourselves feeling distant from ISLAM. We may feel like our life is falling apart and that we are hopeless or that our level Faith is at a low.

We feel lost. We worry no prayer is being answered and then we ask ourselves "How can I possibly get myself through this???"

I am here to tell you that this feeling is Okay.

We are all striving to be the best we can be.

Allah never gives up on us & that Allah is Always there to give us the guidance we need to set us back onto the straight path.

Sometimes the things that happen in our lives are for our best interest.

We must realize that there is a reason for everything that falls upon us.

Every blessing & every hardship.

A good friend told me.

Once you recognize that Allah takes precedence over everything, your entire falls into place. SubhanAllah.

Your heart is at ease because it is an the hands of Allah SWT.

After I recognized that.

It felt like a part of me had been missing and now it had finally come back to me.

Allah does not put you through anything that can't handle.

Being patient is painful and tiring. It is hard. But it's Always worth it in the end.

Patience is bitter in taste.

Yet its outcomes are sweeter than honey.

Honestly.

Patience is giving up everything you love for the One that loves you the Most. And what is more beautiful than that???

Working on your salah is the most important key to a happy life.

Make Du'a constanly.

Pray Istikharah & even set alarms to keep up with the daily prayer timings.

Prayer's purpose is to keep ourselves close to Allah.

We can't sit back and expect everything to be handed to us.

It is two-way street.

And you must maintain a relationship with Allah and pray often.

Your soul needs prayer like your lungs need air.

It can seem tough but stop and think about it.

You woke up this morning. You are alive & Allah SWT has given you another day.

Allah has stayed with you through it all and has given you chances.

Every problem you have faced. Hardship you have overcome. Allah is put you through it all to do nothing but teach you and bring you toward good.

No matter how hard things may seem.

Always Say ALHAMDULILLAH ✨💖

Fare thee well, 2023

Aaah..

Yeah exactly. That's the first thing I said out loud when I tried to think about 2023 in retrospect

Can you believe that it's only a few days until 2024? I have not even finished processing half of 2023 let alone entering a new year..

Honestly I have no idea how I dealt with this year - mostly giving myself the peptalk cause girl can't depend on no one for that. You gotta kick your own ass, sometimes. I lied. It's most of the time.

Because truth be told, it's you against yourself 90% of the time. You can't choose the environment nor the situation you're in but you can, at least, control the way you react to it. (Trust me, in my head, I've been on rampages a few times)

Looking back on 2023, it was a roller coaster. Emotionally. Physically. Mentally. Hold on, scratch that. It felt like being thrown in a fucking washing machine and being told not to scream - but eventually seeing light in the end

Yeah. Exactly like that.

I feel like I was thrown in situations so uncomfortable that I didn't get to tell that it was uncomfortable - it was more like God throwing stuff at me and told me to deal with it - and I did.

See, that's the thing. I never thought I had it in me to handle all of those things thrown at me. I used to think, nah that's not gonna happen to me. I used to think I GET to choose, but the universe said otherwise, obviously.

I lost a friend this year to Cancer. We used to be so close but my God, it was really a wake up call how fragile life is. How short life is! May Allah rest her soul amongst the beloved – really puts into perspective the things that we think are important in this life

I also lost a friendship that I really valued and tried so hard to keep this year. But I guess, one can only get hurt so much, so this one had to bite the dust. I'll cherish all the memories, for sure, but I believe wholeheartedly that we would be better off out of each others' lives and I wish her all the best

.

.

On a positive note, I went on two vacations this year - Kuching in July and KL & Penang in December. Where did I get the money with all the expenses on my car that I had to pay for this year? hahaha God indeed works in mysterious ways

and when they say people show their true colours when you live or travel with them, it is so true and I learned a lot in that regard and it did build my patience and get my mind blocking game strong

and as a cherry on top, my sister decided to give birth while I was away. Sister of the year goes to....? Yours truly. I have a new nephew ya'll and it is such a lovely addition to our family and even more lovely way to end the year - baby screams. I'm kidding. He's a good boy.

I don't know, but I feel like my mind went through a lot of shifts and lots of tweaking here and there throughout this year. I definitely learned a lot and it has definitely helped shape my character. Have I transformed into a better person? Not really. I really do feel like I am still a work in progress and I have gotten better in some areas more than the others, and other parts I feel, I have not started on or even identify them yet.. maybe I will next year?

I also learn that having people who love you and accept you as you are is hugely underrated - you need it and it makes this whole life journey more bearable. Those who feel your joy and your pain - those count, and I wish everybody has at least this one person in their lives.

Watching my parents grow old was really the highlight of this year, I feel. They played a major part in opening my eyes this year. I have taken for granted a lot of things - the way I would get mad how my mom would bang my door to call me for dinner every night - I don't get to experience that anymore. Mom can barely walk let alone walk to my door. A lot of things. How the tables have turned. How they have become so dependent on me now

Now I'm the one who has to call for dinner - to bring dinner to them. To worry if they have anything to eat while I'm away for work etc. I'm less worried now because my sister's home at least for a few months

There were moments where I caught myself wishing to turn back the hands of time. Wishing for this and for that but only to realise that all I have is now and for me to make it count and with all thats going on in my life, I am afraid to lose sight of this in the midst of all the chaos. It can easily be the most difficult thing in the world

I have no idea what 2024 is going to entail but I am trying to make sure that I enter the new year with a positive mindset. The grateful, blessed mindset with a new outlook on life. Wish I knew years ago that this is what growing up is. I used to always believe that life was like a tug of war where you have to fight to win and so I lived life on survival mode mostly. When I was told to relax and take life as it is, I panicked - in my mind that if I let go just a little bit, life will come crashing down

Now I am slowly accepting that I am just living life as it was written. Life will give to you naturally and all you have to do is navigate and make good decisions and most importantly, have a good heart and good intentions with you all the time. I believe God knows and acknowledges all that we do

What will be, will be - and so it is.

Happy New Year 2024, everybody!

This ship is only sailing towards the Northern Star

Note: I began writing this post a probably a week before 31st

The guy I wanted to marry gave up after his father disapproved of me due to cultural reasons. It’s been two months and he hasn’t reached out after his father ended things between our families while we were on the verge of finalising things between families and getting engaged. To say that I’m heartbroken is an understatement. We were in a haram relationship previously (only chatting and online, nothing else) and I did realise my mistake, repented, cut off contact with him, asked him to repent too and then genuinely strived to make things halal, made a lot of duas, istikhara, etc. I stuck by him through thick and thin for three years, did everything in my power and beyond, fought my family and everyone else for him but he let me go just like that. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff on social media and try to justify his behaviour in an attempt to ease my pain, I have my doubts about him having an avoidant attachment style and sometimes think his heavily cultured upbringing and his deep sense of blind obedience and respect towards his parents was the reason why he did what he did but my family disagrees.

They tell me that he was never all in from the beginning and he constantly talked about things not working out between us even to them because he was okay with either outcome. I was always the one making all the compromises and sacrifices in order to marry him and he always made me do most of the work (in the relationship, between our families) too. Despite all of this, I guess I still want to hear it from a man’s perspective, could you please tell me that if a man truly, genuinely and sincerely claims to love a woman, is it true that even if he struggles or doesn’t know how, he would do everything in his power but never give up on her and never let her go? If he truly loves her but believes he is not worthy of her or deserve her, would he still find a way to become better or he’d be okay with seeing her marry another man?

He was so good with his words and made so many promises to me and my family and he never followed through but it has really, really messed up with my head and I really don’t know what to believe. I know I’m the reason I am in this mess and I deserve this pain because I disobeyed Allah and got involved in something haram and I take full responsibility for it. But I just really need to hear it from a man’s perspective. Sorry about this long paragraph, I would really appreciate your response though. Thank you so much. Jazak Allahu khayran.

With all sincerity, some things are just not meant to be . Sometimes it takes longer for our heart to accept the reality of what our mind already knows , as we try to justify it. His words may be beautiful but it’s the action that counts. As you yourself said you did most of the work to make this all happen, one thing I know about men is we don’t give up that easy especially if we want to marry the one we love. It could be possible he had a lot of pressure from his own family however for them to disapprove for cultural reasons, that is very absurd and Islamicly not justifiable to reject based off of cultural preferences. A man who loves a woman wouldn’t bare to see the women he loves with another man, it’s painful. And if he claims he’s unworthy of that woman love than rather he strives to be the man for her rather to look for excuses. One can’t claim to love someone and not make any effort or sacrifices, and it goes both ways for it to work. Think about it, you’d rather deserve a man who also make sacrifices and puts in the same work as you rather than you making all of the sacrifices. If he’s really cut you off without any further explanation, I’m sorry to say but that’s not how a man should react and he’s made a conscious decision to not message you. If such is the case that he’s listened to his parent’s decision and cut you off, I’d suggest for you too as-well to forget him. I know it’s easier said than done especially for what you’ve been through but genuinely that’s the only solution I can give . Sorry if I may seem blunt or straightforward but that’s what I think about this situation. You know best but all I can say is if he’s made a conscious decision to stop talking to you for good , that’s your answer to just let it be the way the situation has ended. He should’ve definitely explained the situation to you atleast said a proper goodbye but khair May Allah forgive us all for our sins and May Allah swt heal our hearts , Ameen

[beeeeyondglorious]

After today I realised that there is no hope. I did everything on my end to keep you/fight for you but you not being a real man didn’t fight for me and will always listen to your mother.

It’s okay as painful as this may be I know that I put 110% to make this work and at the end of the day there will be no what ifs on my end.

I learnt two important things from this.

1. Never make a man feel special especially when he’s not your husband because automatically they take advantage of this and stop chasing you.

2. As sad as this might sound you need to be careful with how much love you show/give

I think what hurt me the most was the fact we planned our future, now thinking about he future without you in the picture made me feel empty. But it’s ok Allah is the best planners of all.

I was ready to give you everything but Allah wants me to save it for someone who deserves it. I trust Allahs plans with all this hurt and pain I will smile and say Allhumdulillah and will have tawakul and sabr.

What is Conscience?

Conscience: “Losing oneself. Feeling. To feel.” “Spiritual feeling that enables one to distinguish the good from the bad and enjoy being good and be disturbed by bad and evil.”

Conscience: The most advanced source of knowledge for human soul. Once it says “yes” to something, neither mind nor sense organs can deny it.

Conscience, mind and five sense organs; all of them provide human beings with different things and open doors to different realities. Yet, conscience is always superior to others; mind follows it and then come five sense organs at the end.

Once the true mind finds a reality, it does not matter if five sense organs do not agree. The best example of this is that although mind says the earth rotates, senses deny it. Eventually, mind won and decision was made according to it.

The mind is to conscience what sense is to mind when they are compared. One cannot behave according to a mind which disagrees with conscience. If we know a reality in our conscience, all intellectual proofs put forward against it are nothing but demagogy.

For instance, if we feel pain in our conscience because of an unfairness we have done, none of the excuses that our mind has got to offer can justify it.

Man knows lots of realities with his conscience. Knowing with conscience is as different from knowing with mind as seeing is from hearing. There is not comparison, reasoning, suggesting opinions or establishing hypotheses in conscience. It knows realities directly without needing any of these. Although we distinguish green from blue with our eyes, we distinguish between affection and love or between fear and worry with our conscience.

Man knows his own existence with his conscience, too. He does not need to ponder over it and ask a question such as “Do I exist or not?” and eventually put forward proofs such as “I think, therefore I am.” Man knows his attributions with his conscience, too, like his existence. He knows that he is alive; he is knowledgeable and has got self-control and ability to see and hear, all with his conscience. He can never doubt it.

One may not believe his eyes and say “Have I seen it right?” and rub his eyes to look again. Similarly, one may not believe in his mind, either and read again saying “Have I understood it wrong?” However, he does not ever doubt his conscience and what it knows.

We stated that “man knows his own existence with his conscience.” Similarly, he knows, with his conscience again, that he did not create his own body; he did not place his organs in proper places in body with his initiation and power. He knows this for so sure that he does not ever think of anything reverse even though he has lived for ages. Actually, knowledge of conscience depends on self-experience rather than concrete knowledge and feeling.

Man who knows with his conscience that he did not make his own body knows with his mind that this is the same about other beings. So, a movement of belief that starts in conscience develops with the help of mind and sense organs. And this leads man to Allah, the only owner of all things.

Yes, every conscience knows Allah. Imagine a man who does not believe. This man is not grateful for a fruit that he has eaten to nature, to material or to anything else. Besides not being grateful to Allah, he is not grateful to anyone else. What prevents him from being grateful to others is his conscience. Than unbelieving man knows with his conscience that neither this universe nor gardens and fields made of it can have these bounties. They did not have them with their own power. They are only tools, factories and workbenches. It is against human dignity to be grateful to them.

All of these meanings are present in his conscience, without words and in such a form that we cannot comprehend. And it does not let him to be grateful to others. However, that conscience is so veiled by sins, rebel, wrong beliefs and false instilling that it has got no power to make its owner be grateful to Allah. Yet, all it can do is to prevent its owner from being grateful to others. And that person, as a result, eats without giving thanks, sees without contemplation and lives without thinking. And he is drowned in worldly affairs, worldly problems or delights. He leads an animal’s life without a moment of thinking why he was sent down to this world, what his duty is and where he is going to, and then passes away from this world.

Another example: If one can sleep peacefully when he lies in his bed, it is because his conscience knows Allah. You cannot see a person who sits in bed, hesitant to fall asleep, saying “I will sleep but what if our Earth crashes into another planet? What if a star crashes into our Earth...?” Or a person who changes his mind and decides not to sleep thinking “I will sleep, but what if arteries get blocked, what if my blood coagulates, what if my heart stops beating…?” Everyone knows with their conscience that neither their bodies not this universe are their possessions. Whatever happens in both of them are results of Allah’s creating.

If it was not for this cognition of conscience, no any unbeliever could breathe peacefully on this world. However, they cannot take the advantage of this safety, this safety atmosphere that their conscience, provides them with properly and cannot find Allah.

Another example: If you point out to a soldier’s weapon and ask “Is this yours?”, he would say “Yes.” Yet, the same soldier knows with his conscience that the weapon is not his personal possession. He cannot use it as he wishes and cannot sell it. And just like this soldier, when we say “My hand, my eyes…”, we know with our conscience that we are not the true possessors of them and they were entrusted to us. However, if this cognition of conscience does not result in belief, people will use all these things entrusted to him the way with which Allah – the true possessor of them - is not pleased, all their lives; - to give account for them all one by one on the day of accounting…

Shortly: Every conscience says “Allah exists”; neither man is a stray vagabond, nor this universe is a masterless factory… There is One who weaves man on this workbench…

And man belongs to Him, with his all existence…

[almaqead]

"The Payment." From Surah Hud, "The Notice."

The People of Iran are free of an imposter, a serial killer from an alien world sent by Iblis to raise hell on earth all around them. Ali was good to me when I first began exploring the Quran, for this, I knew Allah was on the side of the believers.

Ali, if you read this, thank your your faith in me. I hope for a generous return to you and the Republic in return.

11: 25-35:

Surely We sent Noah to his people. ˹He said,˺ “Indeed, I am sent to you with a clear warning

that you should worship none but Allah. I truly fear for you the torment of a painful Day.”

The disbelieving chiefs of his people said, “We see you only as a human being like ourselves, and we see that no one follows you except the lowliest among us, who do so ˹hastily˺ without thinking.1 We do not see anything that makes ˹all of˺ you any better than us. In fact, we think you are liars.”

He said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a mercy from Himself,1 which you fail to see. Should we ˹then˺ force it on you against your will?

O  my people! I do not ask you for a payment for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from Allah. And I will never dismiss the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.

O  my people! Who would protect me from Allah if I were to dismiss them? Will you not then be mindful?

I do not say to you that I possess Allah’s treasuries or know the unseen, nor do I claim to be an angel, nor do I say that Allah will never grant goodness to those you look down upon. Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ within them. ˹If I did,˺ then I would truly be one of the wrongdoers.”

They protested, “O Noah! You have argued with us far too much, so bring upon us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”

He responded, “It is Allah Who can bring it upon you if He wills, and then you will have no escape!

My advice will not benefit you—no matter how hard I try—if Allah wills ˹for˺ you to stray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.”

Or do they say, “He1 has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then I bear the burden of that sin! But I am free from your sinful accusation.”

Commentary:

The world was not meant to drown in a flood or be warned continuously. We do not need to be threatened by God or argue the reasons He gave the Quran and the religion to mankind.

Muhammad said never to argue with the believers or force them to prove God's Mercy is authentic, only to trust God will lift the burdens of those who trust them and bring heaven's treasures down to them.

May the death of the oppressors bring new life down to all the free people. Just as the Quran says, it is the believers who will lead the way:

' O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment.

 And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous."

Now that the bastard Mormon dog Raisi is gone, Iran can begin to integrate its domestic and interstate policies within a legitimate constitution, put an end to the sanctions binding its potential, and ensure the blessings God intended to shower on its people begin to fall.

SUJOOD

தமிழில்

The harder you cry in Sujood, the happier you get.

Sujood is the best place to communicate with Allah Ta'ala.

Sometimes a single sujood heals all the pain.

Crying on Sujood is better than crying on someone's shoulder.

By putting your forehead on the ground, you're actually putting an end to your worries.

When you sit back up from Sujood after you’ve let it all out and that little feeling of relief with weight being lifted off.

The shortest distance between a problem and its solution is the distance between your knees and Sujood.

In Sujood, You whisper down the ground, and it is heard up in the Heavens.

When the whole world is against you,

Only Sujood can do wonders in your life.

In this Dunya, there is no greater pleasure than Sujood.

A Muslim In Sujood Is stronger than the King On his Throne.

May Allah Ta'ala respond to all our supplications and grant us success in both worlds.
