📖 Introduction Surah Al-Hujurat is a Madani surah revealed after the migration to Madinah. It teaches Muslims etiquettes of dealing with Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, respect, and discipline in Islamic society. Verses 1–3 specifically address the manners of speech and behavior in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. 🌙 Shan-e-Nuzool (Reason of Revelation) – Tafseer Ibn Kathir According to Ibn Kathir: These verses were revealed about some companions (like Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه and Umar رضي الله عنه) who, in a discussion, raised their voices in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. Allah immediately corrected them, warning that their deeds could be nullified due to disrespect. It also applied to Bedouins who used to call out loudly to the Prophet ﷺ from outside his rooms. Thus, Allah taught the believers to show utmost respect, humility, and quietness before the Messenger ﷺ. 📝 Summary (Tafseer Ibn Kathir – Simplified) Verse 1 → Do not act independently in matters of religion; always follow Allah an...

Introduction Surah Al-Ahzab (33:40) presents one of the most foundational principles of Islam: Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. This verse closes the chapter of prophethood and affirms the finality of revelation. It highlights that the Prophet ﷺ was not a father to any man among the believers, ensuring that lineage or relationships cannot be misused to claim superiority. Shan-e-Nuzool (Background of Revelation) This verse was revealed regarding the case of Zayd ibn Harithah (RA), who was once known as Zayd ibn Muhammad due to adoption. Allah revealed this verse to clarify: The Prophet ﷺ is not the father of any man among you. He is Allah’s Messenger. He is Khatam an-Nabiyyin, the Seal (Final) of all Prophets. This revelation closed the door of prophethood forever after Muhammad ﷺ. Summary Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is not the father of any man. His status is far greater – he is the Messenger of Allah. He is the last and final Prophet; no pro...

Introduction Special Chicken Koila Biryani is a royal dish that combines the rich flavors of tender chicken, fragrant basmati rice, and aromatic spices with the unique smokey essence of burning coal (koila). Unlike regular biryani, this method infuses every grain of rice and piece of chicken with a deep, rustic aroma that elevates the taste to an entirely new level. This dish has its roots in the South Asian subcontinent, particularly in Hyderabad and Karachi, where smoky cooking methods are often used to intensify flavors. The word “koila” means charcoal, and the technique of adding “dhuni” (coal smoke) is centuries old, traditionally used in Mughlai and Nawabi cuisines to give food a restaurant-style smokiness right at home.  

 Introduction The life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is a perfect example of simplicity, humility, and blessings. Alongside guiding the world with wisdom and faith, the Prophet ﷺ also lived a humble lifestyle. One beautiful aspect of this simplicity is that he kept goats at home. These goats provided milk for his blessed household and companions, becoming a source of barakah (blessings). Some of their names have been preserved in Islamic history, reminding us of the Prophet’s modest and loving way of life. 🐐 Names of Goats (mentioned in sources) 1. ʿAjwa 2. Zamzam 3. Suqyā 4. Barakah 5. Warisa 6. Iṭlāl 7. Iṭrāf  

Surah al Asr: By Time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed, and done righteous deeds, and advised each other to truth, 1. Introduction Surah al-ʿAsr is the 103rd and one of the briefest chapters of the Qur’an. Despite its brevity—just three verses—it encapsulates the essence of Islam’s guidance. It begins with an oath alluding to “Time,” urging human beings to reflect on their mortality and the fleeting nature of life. It then delivers a powerful message: mankind is in a state of loss, unless four key virtues are upheld—faith, righteous deeds, mutual exhortation to truth, and mutual exhortation to patience. (Wahiduddin's Web, Wikipedia) 2. Tafsir Ibn Kathir – Summary Context & Revelation: This surah was revealed in Makkah. A notable incident involves Musaylimah (a false claimant to prophethood) being presented the text by ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, highlighting the power and brevity of its message. (Surah Quran, Ocean of Islam) Key Lesson: The surah is ...

📖 Introduction The birthday of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, commonly known as Mawlid un-Nabi, is observed by many Muslims around the world as a day of remembrance. However, the question remains: Was this practice part of Islam during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions, or the early generations? The truth is, the Prophet ﷺ himself never celebrated his birthday, nor did his Companions (رضي الله عنهم). The true way to honor him is by loving him, following his Sunnah, obeying his teachings, and avoiding innovations (Bid’ah) that were never part of Islam. 📌 Summary of Mawlid un-Nabi Not celebrated in the Prophet’s time or by the Companions, Tabi‘een, or early scholars. Introduced centuries later (3rd or 4th century Hijri) as an innovation. True love is shown through following the Sunnah and avoiding Bid’ah. Islam teaches that every act of worship must be based on Qur’an and Sunnah. The greatest way to celebrate his life is to practice his teachings daily.

Surah An-Nisa (Verse 92–93) – English Translation Verse 92 "It is not for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake, then (the expiation is) freeing a believing slave and paying blood money to the family of the deceased, unless they remit it as charity. But if the slain belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, then freeing a believing slave is enough. And if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty, then pay the blood money to his family and free a believing slave. And if one cannot afford this, then (he must) fast for two consecutive months as a repentance from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." Verse 93 "And whoever kills a believer intentionally – his recompense is Hell, to abide therein forever.

Translation: “…of those whom you choose as witnesses — so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called. And do not be weary of writing it, whether small or large, for its appointed term. That is most equitable in the sight of Allah, upright for testimony, and least likely to lead you into doubt. Except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves, then there is no sin upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you transact. Let no harm come to the scribe or the witness. For if you do so, indeed that is disobedience in you. And fear Allah. And Allah teaches you, and Allah is Knowing of all things.” Summary This verse highlights the value of clarity, responsibility, and fairness in financial dealings: Choose trustworthy witnesses—if one forgets, the other reminds. Witnesses must not refuse when called. Never become hesitant to record agreements, whether small or large. Written docu...

📜 Introduction: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:282) contains the longest verse in the Quran, commonly known as "Ayat al-Dayn" (The Verse of Debt). This verse provides comprehensive guidance on financial transactions, including writing contracts, appointing witnesses, and maintaining honesty and transparency in business dealings. 🕊️ Reason for Revelation (Shan-e-Nuzool): According to Ibn Abbas (RA) and other commentators, this verse was revealed when disputes over financial matters began to occur among Muslims. One of the Companions faced confusion in a credit transaction, so Allah revealed this verse to guide believers in how to deal with loans and credit-based agreements properly — in writing and with witnesses — to avoid conflicts. 📚 Tafseer (Explanation in Summary): If you take a loan for a specific time, write it down. A just scribe should write it, and he should not refuse. The debtor should dictate the contract and speak the truth. If the debtor is weak or unable, then a...

📘 Surah Al-Baqarah – Verse 259 (Respectful English Translation): O Noble Prophet ﷺ! Have you not seen the case of the one who passed by a town that had collapsed upon its roofs? He said, "How will Allah bring this back to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then brought him back to life. Allah said, "How long did you remain?" He replied, "I remained for a day or part of a day." Allah said, "No! You have remained for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink — they have not spoiled. And look at your donkey — and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones, how We raise them and then clothe them with flesh." When it became clear to him, he said, "Now I know that Allah is indeed Most Powerful over everything!"

Introduction to the People of Lut (Lot) Surah Al-Hijr: Verses 67–77 (English Translation) Tafsir (Explanation) Asbab al-Nuzul (Context of Revelation / Historical Background) 🌍 Introduction: The People of Lut (Lot) The people of Prophet Lut (Lot, peace be upon him) lived in the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah near the Dead Sea (present-day Jordan/Palestine region). They were known for their widespread immorality, especially the act of homosexuality, which was the major sin that led to their destruction. Lut (A.S.) was sent to guide them, but they rejected him, mocked his message, and persisted in evil. 📖 Surah Al-Hijr – Verses 67 to 77 (Translation) 67. And the people of the city came rejoicing. 68. [Lut] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me." 69. "And fear Allah and do not disgrace me." 70. They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" 71.

🌟 Introduction (Verses 77–85) These verses continue the story of Iblis’s defiance and reveal the first divine punishment, Satan’s arrogant challenge, and Allah’s firm response. After refusing to bow to Adam, Iblis is expelled from the mercy of Allah, but he requests respite until the Day of Judgment. Allah grants him that time, and Iblis swears to mislead as many humans as possible — except the sincere servants of Allah. Allah then firmly declares that Hell will be filled with Iblis and all who follow him. This passage teaches us about: The danger of ego and arrogance The enemy’s (Satan’s) tactics The importance of sincerity in worship The certainty of divine justice 📜 Revealed History (Shan-e-Nuzool) These verses were revealed in Makkah. The Quraysh were proud and arrogant in their rejection of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This passage mirrors their arrogance through the story of Iblis and serves as a warning: just as Iblis was cast away due to pride, those who reject Allah’s com...

 Introduction (Verses 71–77) These verses present the momentous event of Adam’s creation, Allah’s command to the angels, and Iblis’s rebellion. This passage is part of the larger Quranic narrative explaining the origin of mankind, the beginning of free will, and the first disobedience to God in the heavens. Allah informs the angels of His intent to create a human being from clay. After completing Adam's form and breathing His spirit into him, He commands all angels to prostrate before Adam as a sign of honor — all do so except Iblis (Satan). His refusal marks the beginning of enmity between Satan and mankind 📜 Revealing History (Shan-e-Nuzool) This portion was revealed in Makkah, during a time when the Quraysh rejected the Prophet ﷺ and his message. The story of Iblis serves as a warning for them — just as Iblis refused to obey Allah due to arrogance, the Quraysh were also rejecting the truth out of pride and ego. The story reaffirms: Allah’s supreme authority The danger of...

 Introduction – Surah Al-Ikhlas Surah Al-Ikhlas is one of the shortest yet most powerful chapters of the Qur’an. It consists of just four verses, but it summarizes the entire Islamic belief in the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed). This Surah teaches us that Allah is One, Eternal, Self-Sufficient, has no children, was not born, and has no equal. 🕋 Revealing History (Shan-e-Nuzool) According to Tafseer Ibn Kathir: This Surah was revealed when the polytheists of Makkah asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: "Tell us about your Lord." (Who is He? What is He made of? What does He look like?) In response, Allah revealed Surah Al-Ikhlas, which clearly and strongly affirms pure monotheism (Tawheed) and denies all false ideas about Allah. 📚 Summary from Tafseer Ibn Kathir "Say: He is Allah, the One." – Allah is only one, He has no partners or equals.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received these verses as a special gift, unmatched in the entire Quran. 📜 Revealing History (Asbāb al-Nuzūl) When the believers were worried about accountability of inner thoughts, Allah revealed: “لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا” “Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.” (2:286) These verses were revealed in Madinah and are said to have descended from a heavenly treasure under the Throne of Allah, as mentioned in authentic hadiths. 📖 Summary of the Last Ruku (Verses 284–286): Verse 284 – Allah knows everything in the heavens and earth, including what we hide in our hearts. He holds us accountable but is also Merci...

Revealing History (Asbāb an-Nuzūl): These verses were revealed in Medinah, where a new Islamic society was being established on principles of faith, justice, and moral discipline. In a time when Zina (adultery/fornication) was widespread in Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance), Allah revealed these verses to: Protect the purity of the Muslim community. Set a clear legal punishment for sexual immorality. Emphasize public accountability and deterrence. Separate the righteous from habitual sinners. These commands were meant to reform the society, not just punish, by putting fear in the hearts of the wrongdoers and preserving family honor and social cleanliness. 🧾 Introduction: Verses 2 & 3 of Surah An-Nur lay the foundation for Islamic laws regarding adultery (zina) and marriage ethics. Verse 2 describes the punishment for unmarried male and female fornicators — 100 lashes — as a deterrent and a public warning. Verse 3 teaches that a person involved in adultery is not fit to...
