Living The Quran Through The Living Quran

Death is an inevitable reality of life – even prophets, messengers, imams, saints need to die. As much as it is a reality and we ‘prepare’ for losing our loved ones, the shock is always powerful when it happens. It was in the year which Prophet Muhammad would term, The Year of Grief, that he lost his two strongest pillars, his beloved uncle and the faithful believer, Abu Ṭālib and also his wife, t...

One of the goals of marriage is to have children – individuals that bring so much to the couple – even more than words can describe. However, after having lost two sons in Mecca, Prophet Muhammad ] and his beloved wife, The Mother of the Believers, Khadijah the daughter of Khuwaylid, would be blessed by Allāh with a daughter, and not just any daughter, but Fatima al-Zahra – the Leader of the Women...

Having never gone to an official school to learn the art of reading and  writing, some have claimed that Prophet Muhammad was illiterate.  However, given that he had the best teacher, that is Allāh, and that he  would experience the greatest ever events in his life, how can people  claim that he did not have the ability to engage in something like this?  Does the Quran mak...

The family is the nucleus around which an individual gravitates and they should be the first to wish well for one of their own – whether it be in material accomplishments – but most definitely in spiritual and religious accolades. However, how did the uncles, cousins and extended clans men of the tribe of Quraysh deal with their own, Prophet Muhammad ]. In this episode, we review the all-important...

The mission of Islam started and it was not only for Prophet Muhammad. Rather, it was for his family, the society and the entire world. He would, however, need to start small and then work his way up to warning all humanity – but you need to start from somewhere. Join us as we review the beginning of the revelation and the weighty responsibility which Prophet Muhammad was given by Allāh.

For forty years, Prophet Muhammad was preparing for his greatest ever role – that of the final prophet and messenger of Allāh. His impeccable character and other skills he had developed over the past four decades would come to fruition on the 27thof the lunar month of Rajab when the event of the bi’that or official proclamation would take place in the cave of Hira on the Mountain of Light. Join us...

To be complete people, Allāh has given us the institution of marriage – the sacred union, between a man and woman, under the sight of Allāh. As Prophet Muhammad was maturing and developing in Mecca, he too would look for his spouse and would find her in the person of Khadijah the daughter of Khuwaylid. She would give him comfort, support, love and her wealth to promote Islam and propagate the mess...

Everyone needs to work to support themselves and their lifestyle – and the prophets of Allāh are no exception to this rule. Having lost his father before he was born, how, where and by whom would Prophet Muhammad learn the skills of business and commerce – a requirement given the era he was living in. In this episode we review his relationship with his beloved uncle, Abu Ṭālib and his learning the...

Coming into this world as an orphan, ʿAbdullāh ibn Abdul Muttalib died before his son, the final prophet of Allāh could be born. In the rough and unforgiving climate of the Arabian Peninsula, who would be there to take care of the young Muhammad? In this episode, we study who took care of, supported, protected and nurtured Prophet Muhammad when he was a young child growing up in Mecca.

Prophet Jesus, undeniably one of the greatest prophets which Allāh had sent to guide humanity managed to bring countless people back to Allāh, after having many people of the Children of Israel deviate. However his greatest sign would be to introduce the final Prophet, Muhammad - or as he would refer to him, Ahmad. Why is the final messenger introduced as Ahmad and not Muhammad and what was the re...

People make prayers and supplications to Allāh on a daily basis all around the world. Sometimes, those prayers are immediately answered and they get what they desire. At other times, it may take days, weeks, months or years – and in the case of the supplication of Prophet Ibrāhīm for a prophet to come from Mecca, it took over 3,000 years to materialize. In this episode, we journey through the supp...

What was the journey that the immaculate light (noor) of Prophet Muhammad made from his pre-Earthly existence through the past prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and others until finally reaching to his father, ʿAbdullāh ibn Abd al-Muttalib? In this episode, we follow the Divinely-created light of Prophet Muhammad as it travels through the loins of the various prophets of the pa...

Where was Prophet Muhammad before he came to Earth? Is there some place where the souls ‘reside’ before they are permitted to come to Earth? What, if anything, does the Quran say about our pre-existence and “how” did the light of Prophet Muhammad make its way from the pre-worldly existence to Mecca? In this episode, we try and trace the light of Prophet Muhammad before his birth.
