Allah Almighty is Al Ahad and As-Samad

-
The Qur’an introduces us to the beautiful and powerful attributes of Allah Almighty, each of which holds deep wisdom, guidance, and reflection for our lives. Among the most profound of these attributes are Al Ahad (The One and Only) and As-Samad (The Eternal Refuge). Both appear in Surah Al-Ikhlas —a chapter so concise yet so complete that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ described it as equivalent to one-third of the Qur’an (Sahih al-Bukhari). Al Ahad — The One and Only “Say: He is Allah, the One.” (Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1) The name Al Ahad emphasizes Allah’s absolute Oneness and uniqueness.

He is not just “one” in number, but One in essence, One in power, One in perfection . This attribute teaches us the foundation of Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allah). It reminds us that all acts of worship—prayer, supplication, sacri...

Obeying Parents: When Kindness Meets Boundaries – A Quranic Perspective

-
In Islam, the status of parents is among the highest. Their care, sacrifices, and love are deeply honored in the Quran. Yet, Islam is also a religion of clarity and boundaries. It teaches us where respect ends and responsibility to the truth begins. 💖 The Command to Honor Parents The Quran is filled with verses urging believers to treat their parents with utmost respect and love. Surah Luqman beautifully reminds us: “And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness…” — (Surah Luqman 31:14) Here, Allah acknowledges the physical and emotional burden of motherhood, commanding gratitude to both parents. Respect, kindness, and good treatment are not optional—they are divine instructions. 🚫 When Obedience Becomes Disobedience to Allah But what if our beloved parents ask us to do something that goes against our values, against truth, or even worse—against Allah's commands?
