 Al-Buruj 85:4 Arabic قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ  [Believers-People of the ditch]  English - Sahih International Cursed were the companions of the trench English -  (Hilali) The Story of the Boy and the King. Narrated Shu'aib [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Among the people before you, there was a king and he had a sorcerer. When the sorcerer became old, he said to the king: 'I have now become an old man, get me a boy so that I may teach him sorcery.' So the king sent him a boy to teach him sorcery. Whenever the boy proceeded to the sorcerer, he sat with a monk who was on the way and listened to his talks and used to admire them (those talks). So when he went to the sorcerer, he passed by the monk and sat there with him. And on visiting the sorcerer, the latter thrashed him. So the boy complained about that to the monk. The monk said to him: Whenever you are afraid of the sorcerer, say to him: 'My people kept me busy'; and wheneve...

Bismi Allah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem

  Foundation of the Structure The four words of Basmalah and their number of occurrences in the Quran 1)   Ism   Name  19 19X1 2)  Allah  God  2698 19x 142 3)  Al-Rahman   Most Gracious  57 19x3 4)  Al-Raheem Most Merciful  114 19x6 The first verse of the Quran is   In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful . Arabic transliteration of the verse is “ Bism Allah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem .” This statement is commonly known as the  Basmalah . The Basmalah is so special and unique that it constitutes the foundation upon which the Quran’s 19 based mathematical composition is built. It consists of exactly 19 Arabic letters (see Table 1). It is the opening statement in every one of the suras in the Quran, except Sura 9. Since the Quran consists of 114 suras, a missing Basmalah should have resulted in a total of 113 Basmalahs in the Quran, a number which is not a multiple of 19. Yet, there are 114 Basmala...

   بِسۡمِ  اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ الٓمّٓۚ‏   2:1) Alif, Lam, Mim. 1 Are Quranic Initials 1. The names of letters of the Arabic alphabet, called huruf muqatta'at, occur at the beginning of several surahs of the Qur'an. At the time of the Qur'anic revelation the use of such letters was a well-known literary device, used by both poets and orators, and we find several instances in the pre-Islamic Arabic literature that has come down to us. Since the muqatta'at were commonly used the Arabs of that period generally knew what they meant and so they did not present a puzzle. We do not notice, therefore, any contemporaries of the Prophet (peace be on him) raising objections against the Qur'an on the ground that the letters at the beginning of some of its surahs were absurd. For the same reason no Tradition has come down to us of any Companion asking the Prophet about the significance of the muqatta'at. Later on this literary device gradually fell into disuse and h...

Surah Al-Baqarah verses 51-75

  Abstract Those who fall in repentance in front of Allah, get risen to places never imagined, however the repentance should be a genuine one, the one that bears the seal of a corrected life. One got to surrender to the Creator with humility, whom though cannot be seen. But He is the one who is so close to His man, blessing him in so many ways with innumerable favors. It's the weakness of the man that he fails to put his heart, mind, intellect and soul into his smallest acts and fails to witness what he can achieve. When the man puts all his faculties into action, that something planted in him does sprouts. Though our religion guides us to be strong, productive and committed muslims but we often find ourselves dearly committed to the charms of the world, making ourselves the slaves of the desires and moods. If our bodily appetites become excessive it empowers the heart and mind and then the soul loses its purity. The more the heart be cleared of vices and immortal traits, and the m...
