Savor & Soul: Cooking with Islamic Wisdom

Introduction : Many Muslims believe that 27th Rajab is the fixed night of Isra and Mi‘raj, but when we examine the Qur’an, authentic Ahadith, and the understanding of the Sahabah, we find no sound evidence that specifies this date. The event of Mi‘raj is undeniably true, yet assigning a specific night (27 Rajab) is not proven in Islam. True love for the Prophet ﷺ means following authentic evidence, not assumptions. 🔹 Description Isra and Mi‘raj was one of the greatest miracles of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, during which five daily prayers were made obligatory. However, Islam does not allow fixing a date for worship unless it is clearly proven by Qur’an or Sahih Hadith. Celebrating or giving religious status to 27 Rajab as Shab-e-Mi‘raj has no basis in authentic Islamic sources. 🔹 Proof: Why 27 Rajab is NOT the Night of Mi‘raj 📖 1. Qur’an Does NOT mention a date Surah Al-Isra (17:1) confirms the event but: ❌ No date ❌ No month ❌ No night mentioned 📚 2. Sahih Ahadith do NOT fix ...

English Translation (Surah Luqman 31:14) “And We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents. His mother carried him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents. To Me is the final return.” Introduction This verse from Surah Luqman (31:14) beautifully highlights the عظمت (greatness) of a mother in Islam. Allah ﷻ reminds humanity of the immense sacrifices made by the mother—her physical weakness, emotional pain, and lifelong care—while placing gratitude to parents immediately after gratitude to Allah Himself. It establishes motherhood not just as a relationship, but as a sacred trust and responsibility. Description In this verse, Allah ﷻ draws special attention to the mother by mentioning her hardships in detail: Pregnancy marked by weakness upon weakness The long period of breastfeeding and nurturing Continuous sacrifice without expectation of return By doing so, the Qur’an elevates the status of the mother and makes grat...

Surah Al-‘Adiyat (Chapter 100) Makkan Surah | 11 Verses 🔹 Introduction Surah Al-‘Adiyat is a powerful Makkan chapter of the Qur’an that opens with vivid imagery of charging war horses, symbolizing speed, loyalty, sacrifice, and discipline. Through this intense opening, Allah draws attention to a striking contrast: while animals show absolute obedience, human beings often show ingratitude toward their Creator. The Surah strongly reminds mankind of the Day of Judgment, when every secret will be revealed. 🔹 Explanation (Tafsir-Style) Allah takes an oath by horses that run fiercely in battle, panting, striking sparks with their hooves, and attacking the enemy at dawn. These horses obey their masters without hesitation, even at the cost of their lives. After this powerful scene, Allah exposes human weakness: Humans are ungrateful to their Lord. They acknowledge their wrongdoing inwardly. They are deeply attached to wealth. The Surah ends with a warning about the Hereafter, where...

  Introduction The final moments of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were not ordinary. They were filled with mercy, choice, and divine honor. As the greatest Messenger prepared to leave this world, Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) brought Allah’s final message of choice, and the Angel of Death came with permission—something granted to no one else in history. 🔹 Description During his final illness, the Prophet ﷺ experienced the pain of death while teaching the Ummah its deepest lesson: even Allah’s most beloved servant tasted death fully. He was given the choice between staying in this world or meeting his Lord—and he chose Allah. His final words reflected longing, certainty, and ultimate success. 🔹 Short Story As the pain increased, the Prophet ﷺ rested in the lap of Aisha (RA), whispering prayers for ease. Angel Jibreel came and informed him that Allah had given him a choice. The Angel of Death waited respectfully. Without hesitation, the Prophet ﷺ said: “Rather, the Highest Companion.” Three times h...

These verses show his strength, his sense of justice, his immediate repentance, and the moment that changed the course of his life forever. This passage teaches that even righteous people can make mistakes—but true greatness lies in humility and turning back to Allah. Explanation (Verse-by-Verse) Verse 14 When Musa reached maturity, Allah granted him wisdom and knowledge, proving that moral excellence is rewarded by Allah. Verse 15 Musa entered the city quietly and saw two men fighting. While trying to defend the oppressed, Musa unintentionally caused a death. He immediately recognized the seriousness of the act. Verse 16 Without delay, Musa turned to Allah in sincere repentance. Allah forgave him, showing His limitless mercy. Verse 17 Musa pledged never to support injustice or criminals again—demonstrating accountability and moral gro...
