They said, “Pray for us to your Lord that He makes it clear to us what sort (of cow) should she be.” He said, “He says she should be a cow neither too old, nor too young - of some middle age in between. Now, do what you are being asked to do.” They said, “Pray for us to your Lord that He makes it clear to us of what colour it should be.” He said: “He says that she should be a yellow cow, rich yellow in her colour that should please the onlookers.” They said, “Pray for us to your Lord that He makes it clear to us of what sort should she be, for this cow has made us confused and, if Allah wills, We shall certainly take the right course.” He said, “He says that it should be a cow which is not tractable for tilling the soil or in watering the fields, (and it should be) sound and without blemish.” They said, “Now, you have come up with the right description.” Then they slaughtered her, although it appeared that they would not do it.

Why we should not follow Satan?

Introduction Satan (Shaytan) is the sworn enemy of humanity. Allah warns us repeatedly in the Quran to avoid his deception and not to follow his footsteps. Understanding why we should not follow Satan, why he does not teach good despite knowing it, and his self-destructive nature can provide deep insights into our faith and purpose in life. 1. Why We Should Not Follow Satan? Allah commands us not to follow Satan because he is an open enemy to mankind.

Quranic References: Surah Al-Baqarah (2:168-169): "O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allah what you do not know." Surah Al-A’raf (7:16-17): "[Iblis] said: 'Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. Then I w...

Ignorance is Blessing

What we are seeing and hearing can be ghayb (unseen) for others. What we think is also ghayb. It seems interesting to know, but it is not necessary to know everything. If we know what others are thinking or doing, we will get involved and few of them will do the hassle because they will have more information, and some will do curses that he knew more than me. Hence not knowing ghayb is a blessing that Allah Almighty has given to people in today's World.  ... Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. [4:26]

Abortion Hallal or Haram?

The process of brain-making starts in 2 days and it completes after 2 months. Abortion is permissible before 2 months of pregnancy, but it is not favorable according to science because new life has started to come.

(Surah Al-Isra, 17:33) "The creation of each one of you is brought together in the mother's womb for forty days as a drop, then it becomes a clot for a similar period, then a lump for a similar period.
