By the night when it covers,and the day when it shines!By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,And gives the lie to the best,-We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong

Islam for Christians ·

2023/05/23

There was an eclipse of the sun, and the Messenger of Allah got up in a rush, fearing that it might be the Hour. He went to the masjid, where he stood and prayed, standing, bowing and prostrating for the longest time that I ever saw him do in prayer. Then he said: 'These signs that Allah sends do not occur for the death or birth of anyone, but Allah sends them to strike fear into His slaves. If you see any of these things, then hasten to remember Him, call upon Him supplicate and ask for His

92 - Hadith - Knowledge Leads to Paradise

Islam for Christians ·

2023/04/23

If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and

91 - Islamic History - Circa 624 – A United Force

Islam for Christians ·

2023/04/15

The Muslims unite as a fighting force as they increase their will to fight and their total military force. The Quran would prove a very useful recruiting tool, urging Muslims to take up arms. This period would mold the new warrior spirit that would change both Islam and the Arabian peninsula during the run up to The Battle of Badr in 624.

2023/03/23

The similitude of mine and that of the Apostles before me is that of a person who built a house quite imposing and beautiful and he made it complete but for one brick in one of its corners.

Islam for Christians ·

2023/03/15

The stories should sound mostly familiar, except the Quran gives Zechariah a much larger role in the lives of both John the Baptist and Mary.
