وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ "And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are ˹truly˺ rebellious." [Surah Al Hashr, ayah:19] Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu. My question is what it means to "forget oneself?" How does it manifest in our daily lives? Examples based on the world in 2025/signs of it, are preferable to make it easier to relate & to self-reflect to improve inshaAllah.

I have read multiple interpretations regarding this verse. I found that scholars have mentioned different sayings about the latter portion of the ayah "أنا له لحفظون" about who does the pronoun له refer to in the verse. Some say this refers to Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. I just wanted to know that is there any principle due to which the widely one is accepted is it refers to الذكر itself and if it's agreed upon. Please guide me I'm trying to clear my doubt regarding this for a quite long. Since there's an akhbari scholars saying that there is differences in interpretation of this ayah and therefore cannot be used as evidence for divine preservation. He also quotes Sunni tafsirs to support his claim. His arguments are causing doubts in my mind.

in Quran 21:33 and Quran 36:40 the verses mention the day and the night and the sun and the moon in an orbit swimming. What is meant by the sun not being able to overtake the moon? Does that mean the sun cant rise at night, or does it mean the sun cant collide with the moon? And I already know the sun has its own orbit, but in these verses the way the day and night and sun and moons orbits are mentioned seems relative to each other and it wouldnt make sense that the suns orbit around the galaxy affects the day and night Could the orbitting of the sun and moon mean from our perspectives? Like how we see the sun rise and set and the same with the moon? Or would this interpretation not work with the word "falak". Also what is meant by the orbitting of the day and night? It seems to mean from our perspective so would the same apply for the sun and moon? I'm really struggling to understand this and would really appreciate an explanation because this causes me a lot of doubts

There's a range of translations of Quran 54:17 ; here are some examples: > And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? -- M. M. Pickthall > We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? -- Wahiduddin Khan > And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice? -- Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri > We have really made this Qur'an easy (to understand)! Is anyone there to heed? -- Dr. Munir Munshey It seems there's two major interpretations of this ayat: - The Qur'an is easy to understand. This could be in order to help everyone, despite their level of education. I've also seen it argued that the repetitive nature of the Qur'an is evidence to support this interpretation. > The Qur'an's guidance for man’s conduct are plain and easy to understand and act upon... > ...Masha Allah, how easy Allah has made it for us to memorise the Qur’an and increase our rewards. -- Productive Muslim - Admonishion in the Qur'an is easy to understand. "Do good and get closer to paradise. Do bad and get closer to punishment". > Some people have misconstrued the words yassarnal- Quran to mean that the Quran is an easy Book; no knowledge is required to understand it so much so that a person even without the knowledge of the Arabic language, can write a commentary on it, and can deduce any injunctions he likes from its verses independent of the Hadith and Islamic Law, whereas the context in which these words occur, indicates that they are meant to make the people realize this: One means of the admonition are the dreadful torments that descended upon the rebellious nations, and the other means is this Quran, which guides you to the right path by argument and instruction. -- Islamic Studies It's unclear which is correct. (And I cannot exclude the possibility that both of these interpretations are simultaneously correct.) **Question**: Should Qur'an 54:17 be interpreted as meaning the Qur'an is intended to be simple to understand? Answering this is probably going to require familiarity with the Arabic: > وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

I want to know how the Arabic language explains this verse Surah Isra verse 1 "Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing." Initially Allah swt refers to himself in the third person (glory be to the one who-) and then later refers to himself as We (the royal we in English) which switches to first person and then later addresses himself again in the third person saying "he is the all hearing" , Can anyone who speaks arabic explain this because in English it would be odd. The simplest conclusion would be to assume that in "we may show **him** -" and "indeed **he** is the all hearing" both are referring to same person , can someone explain why this is not the case

in the quran 7 157, its translated that >“˹They are˺ the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel." What does this mean? cause it appears from the words used in the translation that its talking in present tense but the tawrat and injeel didnt even exist at that point it was corrupted, so is the verse actually talking about when each of these books were around?

I heard from shias that 5:55 is talking about Ali (AS), even in sunni sources, I just wanted to know if that's true. Also I'm sorry if I sound weird it's my second time being on website and I'm still a minor, so thanks for whoever will answer this question. السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته

This hadith from tirmidhi says - > Abu Sa'eed narrated: "On the Day of Badr, the Romans had a victory > over the Persians. So the believers were pleased with that, then the > following was revealed: 'Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated, > up to His saying: 'the believers will rejoice - with the help of > Allah... (30:1-5)'" He said: "So the believers were happy with the > victory of the Romans over the Persians." From the wording, it sounds like it was revealed on the day Romans were victorious.

There's a particular surah in my phone but am struggling to know the reciters of the surah because I collected the surah through xender from someone and I want to download the remaining surah. How can I do it?

What does Allah mean when He says: > Have they not considered how Allāh begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy. (29:19) I understand that He originated creation. But what is meant by, > "and then repeats it"? How have scholars interpreted this?

> To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. **Or He makes them [both] males and females**, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent. -- Qur'an 42:49-50 These ayat came up in my previous question https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/35022/17163 *Question*: Should "Or He makes them [both] males and females" be interpreted as referring to intersex people? It seems plausible that this instead refers to instances of male-female twins.

assalaamu alaykum I read a hadith in Tafsir al Tabari Sura An-Najim 53 verse 1 that Muhammad (saw) warned Abu Lahab or someone to fear the dog of Allah and it attacked him in Yemen and killed him? Is this hadith authentic is it true? Here is my reference... القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى (1) اختلف أهل التأويل في تأويل قوله ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) فقال بعضهم: عُنِيَ بالنجم: الثُّريا وعُنِي بقوله ( إِذَا هَوَى ) : إذا سقط, قالوا: تأويل الكلام: والثريا إذا سقطت. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثني محمد بن عمرو, قال: ثنا أبو عاصم, قال: ثنا عيسى; وحدثني الحارث, قال: ثنا الحسن, قال: ثنا ورقاء جميعا, عن ابن أبي نجيح, عن مجاهد, قوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: إذا سقطت الثريا مع الفجر. حدثنا ابن حُميد. قال: ثنا مهران, عن سفيان ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: الثريا، وقال مجاهد: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: سقوط الثريا. حدثني محمد بن سعد, قال: ثني أبي, قال: ثني عمي, قال: ثني أبي, عن أبيه, عن ابن عباس, قوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: إذا انصبّ. وقال آخرون: معنى ذلك: والقرآن إذا نـزل. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثني زياد بن عبد الله الحساني أبو الخطاب, قال: ثنا مالك بن &; 22-496 &; سعير, قال: ثنا الأعمش, عن مجاهد, في قوله ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: القرآن إذا نـزل. حدثنا بشر, قال: ثنا يزيد, قال: ثنا سعيد, عن قتادة ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى * مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَى ) قال: قال عُتبة بن أبي لهب: كفرتُ بربّ النجم, فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أمَا تَخَافُ أنْ يَأكُلَكَ كَلْبُ اللهِ" قال: فخرج في تجارة إلى اليمن, فبينما هم قد عرَّسوا, إذ سمعَ صوتَ الأسد, فقال لأصحابه إني مأكول, فأحدقوا به, وضرب على أصمخّتهم فناموا, فجاء حتى أخذه, فما سمعوا إلا صوته. حدثنا ابن عبد الأعلى, قال: ثنا محمد بن ثور, قال: ثنا معمر, عن قتادة " أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تلا( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) فقال ابن لأبي لهب حسبته قال: اسمه عُتبة: كفرت بربّ النجم, فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " احْذَرْ لا يأكُلكَ كَلْبُ الله "; قال: فضرب هامته. قال: وقال ابن طاوس عن أبيه, أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " ألا تَخاف أنْ يُسلِّطَ اللهُ عَلَيْك كَلْبَهُ؟" فخرج ابن أبي لهب مع ناس فى سفر حتى إذا كانوا في بعض الطريق سمعوا صوت الأسد. فقال: ما هو إلا يريدني, فاجتمع أصحابه حوله وجعلوه في وسطهم, حتى إذا ناموا جاء الأسد فأخذه من بينهم. وكان بعض أهل المعرفة بكلام العرب من أهل البصرة يقول: عنى بقوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ ) والنجوم. وقال: ذهب إلى لفظ الواحد, وهو في المعنى الجميع, واستشهد لقوله ذلك بقول راعي الإبل: فَبَـاتَتْ تَعُـدُّ النَّجْـمَ فـي مُسـتَحيرَةٍ سَــريعٌ بِــأيْدي الآكـلِينَ جُمُودُهـا (1) والصواب من القول في ذلك عندي ما قاله مجاهد من أنه عنى بالنجم في هذا الموضع: الثريا, وذلك أن العرب تدعوها النجم, والقول الذي قاله من حكينا عنه من أهل البصرة قول لا نعلم أحدا من أهل التأويل قاله, وإن كان له وجه, فلذلك تركنا القول به. -------------------- الهوامش : (1) البيت لراعي الإبل النميري عبيد بن أيوب ( مجاز القرآن لأبي عبيدة الورقة 230 من المصورة 26059) قال عند قوله تعالى ( والنجم إذا هوى ) : قسم ، والنجم : النجوم ، ذهب إلى لفظ الواحد وهو في معنى الجمع ، قال راعي الإبل : " وباتت تعد النجم ...

في قوله : يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَين الصّلْب والتّرَائِبِ قال : الترائب : الأضلاع التي أسفل الصلب This roughly translates in English to:(taraib "ترائب") are the ribs that are below the backbone (sulb"صلب"). What does ribs below backbones means? Did any scholars ever explained the meaning of this? Please help me understand? Is this referring last ribs like floating ribs 11 or 12?

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Surah 86 (The Night Comer) says : > 86:5 - So let man observe from what he was created. > > 86:6 - He was created from a fluid, ejected, > > 86:7 - Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. > > 86:8 - Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. Is it possible that Verse 86: 6 and 86:7 are actually **two separate** statements and not a continuation of each other? That is, 86:6 speaking of how man is created from fluid ejected, and 86:7 refers to how this fluid which has transformed into a **foetus emerges out** from between the backbones and ribs (Mother's Womb) and not refering to the sperm emerging out from the backbone? - For example on the lines of : Have the students not observed how the Ford car is manufactured? It is manufactured from Molten Iron, Emerging out from the Ford factory. (that is, the molten iron ultimately emerges out from the factory as finished car) Have any of the classical Mufassiroon propagated this kind of an interpretation for these Ayat?

The Quran gives limited information about Haman. Is there any Hadith which presents more information about him? I cannot find any direct hadith from the Prophet pbuh but I think there would be some Mawquf hadiths available.

Bismillah, It is well-known that the punishment for saying something deliberately and unambiguously, insulting to Islam or Prophet Muhammad SAW, is death as was thoroughly explained by @UmH in her answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2625/how-should-insults-to-the-prophet-muhammad-pbuh-be-handled However, I also want to know how, and if, blasphemy against other religions should he punished in a Muslim state. I got curious about this due to the following verse: >وَلا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ. And don't revile those, whom they (the disbelievers) invoke other than Allah This verse prohibits insulting all religions other than Islam. And since all sins are to he punished by ta'zeer by Ijma', it seems that it's obligatory upon an Islamic goverment to do ta'zeer against this as well. So now, I want an answer that explains, wether my reasoning is right, and if so, is this punishment to be applied on all people who blaspheme other religions, or only Muslims who do this. Jazak Allah!

إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا > أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا > تَسْلِيمًا

> > Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! > Send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect. **Surah Ahzaab verse 56** I have to think about this from a long time why Allah has to send his blessing toward Muhammad (saw). I mean Allah have All the power of the world and he accepts all blessing of mankind and every other living thing, then why He have to send his blessing?
I am sorry if I did not get the proper translation cause I don't know how to speak Arabic.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Can you please help me understand as to why in Surah Baqarah the verse 149 is repeated again in 150? > So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. **[Surah Baqarah : 149]** and > And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided. > **[Surah Baqarah : 150]**

What is meant by the sky being built or a building? For example in these next two verses Quran 2:22 and Quran 40:64 the word بِنَآءًۭ is used which i think means building. Quran 40:64 > "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds." and Quran 2:22 > "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]." and in Quran 50:6 the word used is بَنَيْنَـٰهَا which means built i think > "Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?"

وقال ابن أبي حاتم : حدثنا أحمد بن سنان ، حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش ، عن خيثمة قال : قال عبد الله يعني : ابن مسعود إن النطفة إذا وقعت في الرحم ، طارت في كل شعر وظفر ، فتمكث أربعين يوما ، ثم تتحدر في الرحم فتكون علقة . What is the authenticity of this hadith mentioned in Tafsir ibn Kathir in Sura 23 ayat 14 . Probably it is Against observation.Help me kindly
