“The supplication of every one of you will be granted if he does not get impatient.” [Bukhari and Muslim]
One of the most beautiful avenues of communication with our Creator is through the avenue of duaa. We are all aware of the technicalities of duaa but do we ever reflect over the concept itself? Duaa is [...]

Allah ta’ala says in surah Fussilat ayah three,

كِتَابٌ فُصِّلَتْ آيَاتُهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Qur’an in Arabic, for people who understand. (41:3)
Usually Surahs are named after an ism/noun, but this surah is named after a verb (fussilat is a fi’l/verb). This verb is a description of [...]

Allahumma balighnaa Ramadan! Ameen!
Every Ramadan for the past few years, I’ve started to watch the taraweeh prayers from Makkah. Alhamdulillah, I really enjoy it because you get to listen and absorb the same ayaat that will  be recited in taraweeh at your masjid for that day. It’s also great for those who don’t know Arabic [...]

Allah azza wa jal says in surah Shura ayah 52:
وَكَذَ‌ٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا ۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيمَانُ وَلَـٰكِن جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَّهْدِي بِهِ مَن نَّشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
And thus We have sent to you  Rooh from Our Command. You knew not what is the [...]

Alhamdulillah, after a long hiatus from Characteristics of the Qur’an posts, here is a new one :) I ask Allah for the tawfeeq to complete posting what is beneficial.
Allah azza wa jal says in the first ayah of surah Furqaan:

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا

Blessed be He Who sent down the criterion [...]

In the Qur’an there are a few surahs that begin with tasbeeh, a declaration of Allah’s Perfection, known as Al Musabbihaat. These surahs begin in different forms yet they all point to the same thing: there is no Rabb higher or greater than Allah azza wa jal.
Tasbeeh comes from seen-ba-ha (س-ب-ح) and it [...]
