Whilst reading the Quran, one might find themselves wondering why its stories seemingly jump from one 'scene' to another one that's much further in the future, without describing the intricate details of what happened in between.

A miracle of the Quran is that the meaning or description of t...

In Episode 50 of Akhri Moujza, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan dives into Ayah 125 of Surah Al-An’aam and explains two opposite qualities of today’s society. One is hyper-individualism and the other is the hyper-comparison.

These people are like cattle or even...

In this episode of Akhri Moujza Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan continues the explanation of the challenge given to Jinns and Humans to cross the border of the skies and the Earth and compares it with the moon landing.

After sowing the seed, just the right amount of rain comes and he sees little seedlings coming out of the ground. Howev...

He compares Ayah 102 of Surah Al-An’aam and Ayah 62 of Surah Ghaafir in which there's a switch in sequence of “لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ” and “خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ” according to context of the previous Ayahs. Similarly, the placement of the word شَهِيدًاۖ in A...

In episode 46 of Akhri Moujza, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains an amazing example of the Quran - Ayah 17 of Surah Ar-Ra’d.
