Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh! Welcome back to BeQuranic. I know I’ve been on a long a hiatus, but here I am back in this new year. But we are making some slight changes to BeQuranic. Instead of going one aya a day from Surah al-Baqarah, we are synching the Quran lessons at Qaswa House and BeQuranic. For the month of January, we will be exploring Surah al-Mulk together. Be Quranic...

TLDR; * Today, on day 67, we explored Ayah 41 of Surat al-Baqarah. * This Ayah urges the Jewish leaders in Medina to believe in the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as the Qur'an confirms the messages in their own scriptures. * They knew about the final prophet but rejected him due to prejudice. * The Ayah teaches us the importance of not just acquiring knowledge but also putting it into practice. *...

Today is Thursday the 12th of Muharram, 1446 Hijrah. Yesterday I read a very disturbing news coming from Oman that a masjid in Oman was being bombed and took the lives of nine people. Apparently according to the news report, Daesh or IS claimed responsibility for the bombing and the masjid is said to belong to a Shia community in Oman and they were observing the mourning of the day of Ashura when...

TLDR; * Today, we explore Ayah 40 of Surah Al-Baqarah, which discusses the Israelites. Israel, or Prophet Yaqub, had 12 sons, leading to the 12 tribes of Israel. * Prophet Musa is frequently mentioned in the Quran due to his mission's resemblance to Prophet Muhammad's. * The Quran teaches us about the Israelites to learn from their mistakes. * Ayah 40 reminds the Israelites of the blessings they r...

TLDR; * Today, we remember Allah saving Prophet Musa from Firaun, making it a day of celebration. However, it's also the day Sayyidina Husayn ibn Ali, the Prophet’s grandson, was martyred in Karbala. While we feel sadness, we balance it with the joy of Ashura as taught by the Prophet ﷺ. * Ashura teaches us to balance our emotions and understand that victory in the eyes of Allah may differ from wor...

We resume studying Surah Al-Baqarah with ayah 39, which discusses the punishment for disbelievers. This highlights the balance of reward and punishment in guiding behaviour. The term kafir means to disbelieve after knowing the truth. Punishment applies to those who hear the Prophet's message and reject it. Both reward and punishment are necessary for motivation. Human motivation has three leve...

Fasting on the 10th of Muharram is recommended, and if possible, also on the 9th or 11th to differentiate from the People of the Book. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized religious practices should not imitate those of other faiths in a way that signifies belonging to them. Cultural practices that do not symbolise religious beliefs are permissible. The Prophet ﷺ adopted beneficial practices from other cultur...
