Allah ta’ala says at the end of the first juz,
صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً ۖ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ عَابِدُونَ
The “sibghah” of Allah, and who can be better than Allah in “sibghah”? And we are His worshippers. (2:138 )
Sibgha means coloring or dye, that is not the original state of something. It is the [...]

The believers contemplate on the ayaat of Allah that have been left upon the earth, and only they see the creation around them as ayaat.
Allah ta’ala says,
وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ

We hear [...]

اللهم آت محمداً - صلى الله عليه وسلم - الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه المقام المحمود الذي وعدته
If this hadeeth does not move your heart and increase you in love for the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam….
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: “لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله [...]

لاَ يضر رجُلاً لاَ يشاء عَن نفسه إلاَّ القرآن فإن كان يحب القرآن فهو يحب الله ورسوله
Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood radi Allahu anhu said: It will never harm a person that his soul does not desire more than the Qur’an, for if he loves the Qur’an; then he loves Allah and His Prophet sal Allahu alayhi [...]

Allah ta’ala says in surah Dhaariyaat:
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْحُبُكِ
“By  the Sky, full of paths!” (51:7)
Allah ta’ala swears an oath concerning the sky, and what it contains.
الْحُبُكِ- is from ha-ba-kaaf (ح ب ك) and there are a few opinions on this word.
Firstly, it is said to be plural of hibaak (حباك), which is used for pathways between [...]
