Chapter: Mary (Maryam) Verses 16 to 36

16 ) And mention, [O #Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] #Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

( 17 ) And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

( 18 ) She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."

( 19 ) He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."

( 20 ) She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

( 21 ) He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "

( 22 ) So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

( 23 ) And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."

( 24 ) But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

( 25 ) And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

( 26 ) So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "

( 27 ) Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

( 28 ) O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

( 29 ) So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

( 30 ) [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

( 31 ) And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive

( 32 ) And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

( 33 ) And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

( 34 ) That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

( 35 ) It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

( 36 ) [Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

(The Quran Surah: Chapter Maryam- Verse: 16-36)

Before setting out for Hajj

Before setting out for Hajj: The Most Important Spiritual Preparation for Every Pilgrim Hajj is not just a journey of the body — it is a journey of the heart. Long before a pilgrim steps onto the plane, long before the ihrām is worn, and long before the talbiyah rises from the tongue, the heart must be prepared to stand before Allah in the most sacred days of a believer’s life. Among all the checklists, packing guides, and logistical preparations, there is one question every pilgrim must ask: “What is the most important thing I should do before Hajj in terms of my ʿaqīdah and inner state?” The answer, according to the scholars of the past and present, is beautifully simple: Purify your Tawḥīd and make sincere tawbah. Everything else flows from these two foundations. 1. Renewing Tawḥīd: The Heart of Hajj Hajj is the greatest physical expression of Tawḥīd. Every ritual — from the talbiyah to the ṭawāf — proclaims the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, the heart must be c...

O you who have believed...(Part-1)

O you who have believed Let us have a look at all the signs in the Noble Quran where Allah, the Almighty addresses the Believers directly. It is important to know what Allah, the Almighty says to those who profess their belief and Faith in Him. As believers in the One True God, Allah, we must have a closer look at all the commands that have been given by our Merciful Lord addressing us directly: O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. 2:153 O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. 2:172 O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of ... in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: 2:178 O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -2:183 O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the foot...

Why I wear Hijab.

The topic of Hijab has always been a controversial topic for many among those who are not Muslims and even among those who are Muslims. When something is not understood clearly and is approached with a stance that is personal and emotional then it is indeed a matter of doubt and uncertainty. But, when you intend to understand something sincerely and try to find out its origin and meaning from the most authentic sources then there remains no doubt and hesitation and you tend to accept it readily with ease. The same goes for the topic of Hijab. Most of the people think that Hijab is a choice and not a command by Allah in the Noble Quran and they present various points to prove it. I am just a student of Al Quran and I myself did not wear Hijab till I entered University. But one fine day, by the Will of Allah, I was reading the Chapter 24 The Light (An Noor) in the Quran. I came across the famous verses on Hijab and I felt something inside my heart. I realized that these are...
