Allah ta’ala says in Suratun Nisaa, in two seemingly balanced ayaat:
وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَ‌ٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
Those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement.

وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ [...]

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 [...]

Allah ta’ala says in suratul Anbiya ayah 105,
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ

And We have already written in the Zaboor (Psalms) after the [previous] mention that the land is inherited by My righteous servants. (21:105)
What is “al-ardh, the land” referring too in this verse?

Bismillah
The subtleties in the Qur’an are simply amazing. One letter can show such emphasis, empower a statement and send a powerful message to the listeners.
An example of this is in Suratul Waaqi’ah, Allah ta’ala says:
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْزِلُونَ لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Tell Me! The water [...]

Bismillah.
Allah ta’ala says in the Qur’an:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْ أَحَدِهِم مِّلْءُ الأرْضِ ذَهَبًا وَلَوِ افْتَدَى بِهِ أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them [...]

For all the college students out there, we know that being broke is normal. But I’m here to tell the rest of you that you are all broke too. Every. Last. One of you.
You may be thinking: “I just graduated, I make an awesome salary, I just bought this brand new 09 car, and I’m [...]

Aqsaam (oaths) in the Qur’an are a very fascinating subject that we should study and focus on more. As mentioned before, there are a few components needed for a qasm to occur. One of them is the harf qasm, a letter that shows there is an oath being taken.
There are a few letters in the [...]

Bismillah, walhamdulillah.
The two most common names for the Book of Allah are: Qur’an and Kitaab.
We learn when studying the Qur’an that even the words chosen are a revelation from Allah with divine wisdom. So, in that case, what do these two names mean and what is the difference between them?
