Believers in Allah are aware that all desires and dreams, no matter how fantastic, can be fulfilled in the Garden. Allah has limitless blessings prepared in the Hereafter, far beyond what any human can imagine. The Prophet encouraged people to strive to reach the Garden, where they will receive all they desire and more. The Garden's blessings are absolute and perfect, surpassing all beauty in...

Life in this world is limited and imperfect, and Allah has created it as such to remind us of the perfect and eternal life that awaits us in the Hereafter. We must strive to live our lives according to Allah's will, so that we may win His favor and be rewarded with the everlasting bliss of the Garden. What is the average lifespan of human beings in this world? What are the faithful slaves of A...

How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again, then you will be returned to Him? (Qur'an, 2:28) It is He Who takes you back to Himself at night, while knowing the things you perpetrate by day, and then wakes you up again, so that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then you will return to Him. Then He will inform y...

Asking, 'So when is the Day of Rising?' But when the eyesight is dazzled, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and moon are fused together, on that Day man will say, 'Where can I run?' No indeed! There will be no safe place. That Day the only resting place will be your Lord. That Day man will be told what he did and failed to do. (Qur'an, 75:6-13) When the Great Event occurs,...

And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah will raise up all those in the graves. (Qur'an, 22:7) They will emerge from their graves with downcast eyes, like swarming locusts, necks outstretched, eyes transfixed, rushing headlong to the Summoner. The unbelievers will say, 'This is a pitiless day!' (Qur'an, 54:7-8) Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked? Was he no...

The Prophet Muhammad (saas) made his people—who knew about Allah’s existence but did not think about His superior might and thus failed to appreciate His grandeur—admit Allah’s existence and grandeur. Then, he summoned them to take warning and to have fear in Him: Say: “To whom does the Earth belong, and everything and everyone in it? Tell me if you know the truth.” They will reply: “To Allah.” Sa...

One of the most important attributes of the societies who are ignorant of the morality of the Qur’an is their faith in Allah despite their failure to appreciate His Might and grandeur. The Prophet Muhammad (saas) told his people—those who said that Allah created them in reply to the question, “Who created you?" yet failed to appreciate Him—that Allah had everything underHis control and that a...

Man is a weak being with many inadequacies. He can only lead his life if Allah wills. However, Allah, Who is the Owner of everything, is far removed from all sorts of inadequacies and is exalted above all weaknesses. He is not in need of anything. The Prophet Muhammad (saas) was commanded to speak thus to his nation: Say: “Am I to take anyone other than Allah as my Protector, the Creator of the he...

The phrase "We sealed their ears" from the Qur'an has a metaphorical meaning of "We have made them sleep". Recent science shows that the ear is the only sensory organ active while a person is asleep, and this explains why an alarm clock is needed to wake up. This suggests that Allah closed the hearing of certain people, causing them to remain in a deep sleep for years. Ther...

Dead creatures are essential to the food cycle, as bacteria turn organic wastes into minerals which living things use for food. The Qur'an mentions this cycle, which was unknown at the time it was revealed, when it says "He brings forth the living from the dead, and produces the dead out of the living". Bacteria are responsible for the winter "spring cleaning" so when livin...

That it is He Who brings about both laughter and tears. (Qur'an, 53:43)

'He Who gives me food and gives me drink.' (Qur'an, 26:79) There is no creature on the earth which is not dependent upon Allah for its provision. He knows where it lives and where it dies. They are all in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 11:6) So that Allah can reward them for the best of what they did and give them more from His unbounded favour. Allah provides for anyone He wills without r...

Mankind! Admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. (Qur'an, 10:57) 'And when I am ill, it is He Who heals me.' (Qur'an, 26:80) We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss. (Qur'an, 17:82)

It is Allah Who creates every condition that people need to survive. The location of the Earth in the solar system, the atmosphere that provides the required environment for life, water, an essential part of life that covers a great part of the Earth, the movements of the Earth that enables the rise of the Sun every morning and its sinking every evening and many such other happenings take place by...

The word “unseen” in the Qur’an means everything beyond one's perceptions and knowledge, everything concealed from the eyes. Knowledge of the unseen is Allah’s alone. And Allah informs us that He grants this knowledge only to those He wills. The Prophet Muhammad (saas) stated that it was Allah alone Who knew the “unseen": Say: “Allah knows best how long they stayed. His are the secrets of...

Ants are small animals with complex communication networks to organise their social lives. They use a variety of methods to communicate, such as alarm, recruitment, grooming and exchange of oral and anal liquid, with 500,000 nerve cells squeezed into their 2-3 mm bodies. Most communication is on the chemical level, using semiochemicals known as pheromones which are secreted by internal glands. The...

The Qur'an compares people's situation in the Hereafter to swarming locusts. Using micro-cameras, researchers in the twentieth century discovered that locust swarms contain huge numbers of individuals that behave as a single body and can cover 1,200 square kilometres. They deposit their eggs in sandy soils and emerge in large groups. Up to 1,000 egg pods have been found in one square metre...

Every event in the eternal past was predetermined by Allah. A man is also bound by a destiny ordained for him. The Prophet Muhammad (saas) told his people that they would not encounter anything other than what was predestined for them, for which reason they need to trust in Allah moment by moment and earn the rewards of such an attitude: Say: “Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordaine...

If you are ungrateful, Allah is rich beyond need of any of you and He is not pleased with ingratitude in His servants. But if you are grateful, He is pleased with you for that. No burden-bearer can bear another's burden. Then you will return to your Lord and He will inform you of what you did. He knows what the heart contains. (Qur'an, 39:7) Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful...

Allah does not wrong anyone by so much as the smallest speck. And if there is a good deed Allah will multiply it and pay out an immense reward direct from Him. (Qur'an, 4:40) Those who do good will have the best and more! Neither dust nor debasement will darken their faces. They are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Qur'an, 10:26) Who will make a good loa...

He taught Adam the names of all things. Then He arrayed them before the angels and said, 'Tell me the names of these if you are telling the truth.' They said, 'Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.' (Qur'an, 2:31-32) Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, a group of them would almost have m...

Nature is an incredible source of inspiration for scientists and R&D experts, leading to the development of biomimicry: a new branch of science that seeks to imitate living things. Through biomimicry, researchers are able to develop new technologies by studying and imitating the designs created in nature by Allah. This approach has been applied in the world of technology, particularly in nanot...

Many animals and birds live in societies and form a structured social order, with different roles and tasks assigned to each. For example, honey bees build their nests in colonies with a queen, workers and males, and the queen's main responsibility is laying eggs. Ants live in colonies with a communication network, advanced town planning and military strategies. Smaller birds protect themselve...

If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and believe in Me so that hopefully they will be rightly guided. (Qur'an, 2:186) "Praise be to Allah Who, despite my old age, has given me Isma'il and Ishaq. My Lord is the Hearer of Prayer." (Qur'an, 14:39) Your Lord says, 'Call on Me and I...

The Prophet Muhammad (saas) Stated That He Would Never Follow Disbelievers To his people, who strove to divert him from the straight path, slandered him, threatened him with murdering and exiled him, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) conveyed the following message: Say: “I am forbidden to worship those you invoke besides Allah.” Say: “I will not yield to your whims and desires. If I did, I would go astr...
