Exploring Quran Majeed with Wasiq

The Day of Judgment, a cornerstone of Islamic eschatology, is vividly depicted in both the Hadith and the Quran. These descriptions serve not only as a prediction of the events that will unfold but also as powerful reminders for humanity to live righteously. The imagery of people running in chaos, akin to ants and other communities, highlights the universal nature of this event, affecting humans, jinns, animals, and insects alike. The Chaotic Scene: Lessons from the Hadith The Hadith provide detailed accounts of the chaos and fear that will characterize the Day of Judgment. One such narration by Abu Huraira in Sahih Muslim states: > "On the Day of Resurrection, the people will be gathered in such a way that they will be on bare feet, naked and uncircumcised." Aisha asked, "O Allah's Messenger, will the men and women be looking at each other?" The Prophet replied, "The situation will be too serious for them to pay attention to that." This Hadith teac...

In the vast ocean of human relationships, the bonds we share with our parents and teachers hold a unique place. They are our first guides, mentors, and caretakers, shaping our minds and hearts. In the light of the Quran, the roles of parents and teachers are given profound significance, reflecting the divine attributes of guidance, wisdom, and nurturing. Let’s explore this divine connection and understand how parents and teachers mirror the attributes of Allah in our lives. Allah as the Ultimate Guide and Nurturer Allah introduces Himself as the ultimate guide and nurturer in the Quran. He is Al-Hadi (The Guide), who leads us on the straight path, and Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful), who nurtures us with compassion and care. This divine guidance and nurturing are beautifully reflected in the roles of parents and teachers. Parents: The Primary Caretakers Imagine a parent with a child. The parent understands the child's needs and knows how to guide them in their growth. This relationsh...

In an ever-evolving world, technology continues to amaze us with innovations that bring us closer to experiencing realities beyond our imagination. The Quran, with its timeless wisdom, often provides metaphoric insights that can be linked to contemporary advancements. One such verse is Surah Al-Mulk 67:19: *“Have they not looked to the birds above them spreading their wings, and (at times) they fold (them) in? No one holds them up except the RaHmān (the All-Merciful Allah). Surely He is watchful of everything.”*  This verse, which marvels at the birds’ ability to soar and glide, can be seen as an indirect reflection of modern technologies that aim to replicate such experiences.  AR and VR: Bridging the Gap Between Reality and Imagination Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are two groundbreaking technologies that have revolutionized the way we interact with the digital world. AR enhances our physical world by overlaying digital content, while VR immerses us into en...

As a Data Science student, I often find parallels between the principles we study and the profound wisdom found in the Quran. One verse that particularly stands out is verse 25 of Surah Fatir (The Originator). This verse, in essence, can be seen as an early reference to what we now term as 'Predictive Analytics'. Let's explore this in more detail. Predictive Analytics in the Divine Context In verse 25 of Surah Fatir, Allah Almighty informs the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that rejection from the people is not a new phenomenon. It has happened to previous messengers as well: > "If they reject you, (it is not something new, because) those before them have (also) rejected (messengers). Their messengers came to them with clear proofs and with scriptures and with the enlightening book." [35:25] Here, Allah is essentially predicting the behavior of the people based on historical data. Just as in predictive analytics, where future outcomes are forecasted base...

**Introduction** In the age of information and technology, algorithms play a pivotal role in shaping our daily lives.

Surah Az-Zalzalah (The Earthquake), particularly verses 6-8, provides profound insights into the concepts of judgment, sorting, and accountability, which parallel modern computational methodologies. **Verses of Surah Az-Zalzalah (99:6-8)** "That Day, the people will depart separated into categories to be shown the result of their deeds.

In the vast tapestry of the universe, Allah Almighty is known as Al Awwal (The First) and Al Akhir (The Last). These divine attributes signify that Allah is the beginning and the end of everything, encompassing the entirety of existence from the inception to the culmination. This concept not only highlights His eternal nature but also His ultimate wisdom and control over all creation. Al Awwal: The First Allah’s attribute as Al Awwal signifies that He is the origin of everything. Nothing precedes Him, and He is the source from which all creation emerges. The Quran beautifully encapsulates this idea in Surah Al-A'raf (7:54): "Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds." This ...

The Quran's Perspective: Surah Al-Baqarah In Islam, the concept of God is singular and supreme. Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), the second chapter of the Quran, emphasizes the oneness of God (Allah) and rejects any notion of Him being equated with prophets or angels. **Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255 (Ayat al-Kursi):** "Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and...
