The Verses About The Disbelievers In The Quran

Quran is undoubtedly the guide to whole mankind. But there are many disbelievers on this planet, so here are listed some verses about the disbelievers in the Quran.

"And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran they turn their backs in aversion". Quran Al-Isra [17:46]

Our prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) used to become very sad when the people used to refute the verses of the Quran. For the strengthening of his heart, Allah almighty revealed the following verse,

"Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad peace be upon him) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe". Quran Al-Baqara [2:6]

However, this verse does not imply that the Muslims should not spread the word of Allah Almighty. This is because we cannot be sure that who among the masses is the person who is going to accept the truth and who has the heart, mind, and soul with locks. This is explained in the following verse of the Holy Quran. Allah Almighty says in the Quran,

And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners.Quran An-Naml [27:92]

So it is recommended for the Muslims to warn people. However, every Muslim should keep in mind that it is blatantly wrong according to Islam if they try to force someone to accept Islam.

The Quran also solaces the Muslims who have to face ridiculing or picking at by the non-Muslims if they try to spread the word of Allah. Allah almighty says in the Quran,

And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad peace be upon him, Al-Ansâr and Al-Muhajirûn) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not. Quran Al-Baqara [2:13]

The verse, mentioned above clearly implies that there is no reason for a Muslim to be disheartened if any non-Muslim picks at him.

Of course, the Quran is a divine guidance.This is the very reason why the Quran throws an open challenge to the people who do not believe in it. Allah almighty says in the Quran,

"And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad peace be upon him), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful". Quran Al-Baqara [2:23]

The Arabs were great linguistics in the times when Quran was revealed. In fact, they took deep pride in it. However, no nonbeliever among them was able to produce anything even near to the linguistic quality or content of the Quran.

What is the need of Hijab?

Allah, who is our Protector and is above all imperfection, has made wearing Hijabs mandatory upon women as a safety measure for them. Hijabs help to protect their honor while establishing themselves as a sign of their faith. Any society that has distanced itself from Allah's way and has deviated from the path shown by Him is in dire need of actions that will lead to recovery and happiness. Therefore, all Muslim women need to return to hijabs and abayas in order to follow what the Prophet preached to his Ummah.

It is extremely important for all Muslim women to understand the importance of hijabs in Islam. However, many women come up with feeble excuses so as not to wear them. However, we will take a few of these excuses and discuss the frailty of these arguments.

The first most common excuse is that "I am not convinced of the necessity of hijabs." However, if a woman is convinced of Islam, then how can she not be convinced about any one of its orders? If she believes in the divinity of Allah and the messages of the prophet (SAW), then it is absolutely necessary to be convinced of the command about wearing Hijabs in his Sunnah.

The second excuse "It is so very hot in my country and I can't stand it. How could I take it if I wore Hijabs? The answer to this question is so simple that no matter how hot it is on earth, it does not and cannot compare to the heat of the Hell Fire. Allah has promised Hell Fire for all who disregard his orders. Therefore, once one is convinced that no matter how hot it gets here, our hijabs will protect us from the heat in the afterlife; it becomes very easy to follow Allah's commands.

Another common excuse given by women is "It's still not time for hijabs yet. I'm still too young for wearing Hijabs. I'll do it when I get older and after I make Hajj". The biggest reason that this is a bad excuse for not wearing hijabs is that we need to stop presuming about some future expectation in our lives. We cannot guarantee even our own life let alone any future incidence. Allah has stated in the Quran: "When their term comes, neither can they delay it nor can they advance it an hour (or a moment)". [Surah Al-An'aam 7:34]. Thus it is important to start wearing Hijabs at a young age because Allah will ask you on the Day of Judgment about each and every moment of your life.

In conclusion, it can be easily determined that hijabs are an essential part of a Muslimah's life. Hijabs not only are necessary because they provide the modesty and decency that is integral for any woman of faith, but also because Allah has mandated hijabs at various times throughout the Holy Quran.

5 Things you are Missing If you don’t Understand the Quran

The Quran is a guide to humanity. Since none of us want to be misguided, it is paramount not only to read or recite the Quran, but to understand and implement it in our lives as well.

Following are the top 5 things you are missing every day in your life if you don’t understand the Quran:

1. The Purpose Of Revelation

If you don’t understand Quran and keep on reading it, the very purpose of revelation is lost. Allah SWT says: “ (Here is) a Book which We have sent down unto you (O Muhammad!), full of blessings, that they may mediate on its Signs, and that men of understanding may receive admonition [38:29].”

How can we do that if we don’t understand the Quran! One cannot and does not carry translation always, especially while listening to it in Salah!

2. The Objectives Of Recitation

There are 5 objectives of Reading Quran:

• to receive rewards from Allah;
• to gain knowledge;
• to take action based on what Allah SWT is asking us to do;
• to cure our heart and mind; and
• to talk to Allah SWT!

How can we achieve all of these, especially the last four, if we don’t understand the Quran. So it becomes very much necessary to understand the Quran in order to achieve the objective of the holy Quran.

3. The Cleaning Of Heart

People know that Fajr is compulsory but very few come to Mosque. Why? Not because they don’t know but because their hearts are rusted. We have a major misconception that Quran is a book of commandments only. The verses that deal with commandments constitute less than 10% of the total verses. The rest 90% is for the heart and mind. The heart keeps rusting and deviating because of sins. We need de-rusting and re-alignment.

Adam (A) was asked not to go near the tree. Allah says: “but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination.” We humans have these weaknesses. We have several fitnahs (trials) surrounding us. We need continuous reminders and warnings which come to us only through daily recitation and listening to the Quran. Allah says about the Quran: “a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts” [10:57]. Can there be a better cure than what Allah has prescribed for us?

4. The Strengthening Of Heart

The Quran was revealed to the prophet (PBUH) in pieces. “And those who disbelieve say: Why has not the Quran been revealed to him all at once? Thus, that We may strengthen your heart by it and We have arranged it well in arranging. [25:32]. Heart should be firm in belief to His promises and warnings. Continuous pondering of the Quran everyday during and after Salahs helps us strengthen our hearts.

5. Live Guidance

Whatever we read or listen to the Quran, remember that it is a live guidance from Allah SWT to each individual when he or she listens to Quran. It is a HUGE loss only if one can appreciates the value of live guidance from Allah, our own Creator. A wise man can never neglect this.

Women Rights in Islam

Many people think that women in Islam have no rights. They think that Islam oppressed women and didn’t treat them as human beings. In this article this misconception shall be discussed and answered.

Islam considers women as members who play a very important role in the Islamic society. A woman raises the children, builds generations of youth and brings them to the society to help building it. Islam recognizes this important role, and recognizes the effort a mother performs to take care of her child from his birth till his marriage, and even after his marriage. That’s why when a man came to Prophet Muhammad and asked him about who among the people most deserves his fine treatment, the answer of Prophet Muhammad was: “your mother”. The man asks Prophet Muhammad: “Then who?”, Prophet Muhammad says:”your mother”, Then the man asks again. The Prophet says for the third time: “your mother”. The man asks again, Prophet Muhammad says:”your father”. Prophet Muhammad says that Heaven lies under the mothers’ feet.

Prophet Muhammad tells that a man who has daughters and raises them well shall enter Paradise. He tells that seeking knowledge is mandatory for every Muslim male and female. This answers the misconception among non-Muslims that Muslim women are not allowed to be educated in Islam. Actually it is mandatory for them to be educated. Women are even consulted in Islam. This was clear during the life of the Prophet Muhammad when he consulted his wife in the affairs of the Islamic state. Aisha the wife of Prophet Muhammad used to teach people about what she learned from him, and people used to ask her and consult her.

Islam orders a husband to treat his wife well that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said that the best of Muslims are the best to their wives. The Quran orders the husbands to treat their wives with kindness. In Islam, a husband should pay a gift to his wife and it is a main condition in the marriage contract. A woman in Islam is not asked to spend a cent on her house but it is actually the sole responsibility of the husband. The main responsibility of a woman is to take care of her house. So even if a woman works and gains money, she is not asked to spend on the house. She has the right to save all the money for herself.

Islam recognizes that there are differences in nature between a man and a woman, that’s why each has different responsibilities. Although the man is the leader of the house, this leadership means that he has greater responsibilities. God shall account him on what he did and if he fulfilled his duties or not. A woman has less responsibility because she is generally weaker in nature and because she is generally driven by her emotions. That’s why Islam is concerned with justice not with equality. Men and women don’t have the same nature as a man is generally stronger and his mind overcomes his emotions. So he naturally should have more responsibilities. This is not an oppression of women but it is a mercy to women as this won’t load them what they cannot bear.

The Life in Jannah

Allah Ta’ala has made this world for our test., He has set this word as an examination hall and every one of us has to pass the test in order to Jannah (The Paradise).  Allah Ta’ala states in Quran: “He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving”. 

This is for sure that life and death is for our test. The time all of us would spend here in this world would actually define our life after death, it will define either we would go to Jannah or jahanum (The Hell Fire).

Many people (even Muslims) don’t practice Islam just because they don’t believe in the life after death. Believing in the life after death requires Imaan, Quran is the way that strengthens the Imaan because it talks about the life after death. Allah (SWT) says: “But the Hereafter is better and more enduring”.

What we need to do is to talk more and more about the Jannah which is made for Muslims. Talking more about Jannah would motivate people. Other than talking about Jannah we could explore the Jannah in Quran itself.

In Surah Yaseen and Surah Rahman, Allah (SWT) beautifully talks about the luxurious life of Muslims, here are the verses of Surah Yaseen and Surah Rahman respectively:

Surah Yaseen Verses: “Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do, They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity), Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for, "Peace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!”

Surah Rahman Verses: “But for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord, there will be two Gardens, Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?, Containing all kinds (of trees and delights), Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?, In them (each) will be two Springs flowing (free) Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?-, In them will be Fruits of every kind, two and two”

In Jannah the biggest of the rewards would be when Allah (SWT) would expose Himself.  Scholars say the people of paradise would keep watching Allah (SWT) for 8 lac years; this would be a great reward. People of Jannah would be able to see their ultimate creator, the controller, Ar-Rahman (The All-Compassionate), Ar-Rahim (The All-Merciful); indeed it will be a great treat.

We all must do good deeds in order to find the one and only our Lord. In Jannah there would be no sleep and people of Jannah would enjoy big time. Allah (SWT) would eradicate all the bad practices in Jannah such as jealousy, leg pulling, distrust, lust, etc.

May Allah have mercy on us and grants us the Jannah (Ameen). 

Brief on life of Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam

The Prophet of Islam was born in the year 570 in the town of Mecca, a mountain town in the high desert plateau of western Arabia. His name derives from the Arabic verb hamada, meaning "to praise, to glorify." He was the first and only son of Abd Allah. He is the messenger and prophet of Islam and, he is the last and final prophet that God has sent. Muhammad's role went beyond being a Prophet; he was also a politician, a legislator, a military man, and a social reformer.
Muhammad was born in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca and was orphaned at a very young age. His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth and his mother died when Muhammad was 6 years old. His grandfather Abdul Muttalib and then his uncle, Abu Talib, took care of him and raised him. When Muhammad was of teen age, he worked as a shepherd and a merchant and traveled to several Middle Eastern cities with the trade caravans. He got married to a rich Meccan widow by the name of Khadijah at the age of 25. At the time Khadijah was twice widowed and was 40 years old. Together, Muhammad and Khadijah had 6 children, four girls and two boys.
According to Islamic history, Muhammad often retreated to a cave on the outskirts of Mecca in order to meditate and reflect on life and the bigger questions of life. He received his first revelation from God at the age of 40 and in the month of Ramadan. Three years after this even, Muhammad started preaching the message of the oneness of God and declared himself as a Prophet. Khadijah, his first wife, was the first person to accept Islam.
Muhammad had few followers early on and he was ridiculed by the Meccans who were mostly pagans. Muhammad left Mecca to the city of Medina where he established his religious base and gained more followers. Eventually Muhammad conquered all Arabian tribes and united them under Islam. He conquered the city of Mecca, his birthplace, and destroyed the Pagan gods and established Islam as the only religion of Arabia.
According to Islam, revelations were sent to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. It is these revelations that eventually were gathered and put together in a book known as the Quran. These revelations came sporadically throughout Muhammad's prophetic life. The Quran, however, is not in any chronological order, instead, the editors of the Quran decided to put the chapters by order of their size, from the longest chapter to the smallest chapter.
Muhammad died of illness on 8 June 632 CE from illness in the city of Medina. He was buried in Medina and currently Medina is one of the pilgrimage destinations of Muslims.
