Translation of the Ayahs of Quran ✨بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ✨ Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) | Ayahs 2:66–2:75 📖 6️⃣6️⃣ So We made their fate an example to present and future generations, and a lesson to the God-fearing. 6️⃣7️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow.” They replied, “Are you mocking us?” Moses responded, “I seek refuge in Allah from acting foolishly!” 6️⃣8️⃣ They said, “Call upon your Lord to clarify for us what type ˹of cow˺ it should be!” He replied, “Allah says, ‘The cow should neither be old nor young but in between. So do as you are commanded!’” 6️⃣9️⃣ They said, “Call upon your Lord to specify for us its colour.” He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should be a bright yellow cow—pleasant to see.’” 7️⃣0️⃣ Again they said, “Call upon your Lord so that He may make clear to us which cow, for all cows look the same to us. Then, Allah willing, we will be guided ˹to the right one˺.” 7️⃣1️⃣ He replied, “Allah says, ‘It should have been used neither to till the soil nor water the fields; wholesome and without blemish.’” They said, “Now you have come with the truth.” Yet they still slaughtered it hesitantly! 7️⃣2️⃣ ˹This is˺ when a man was killed and you disputed who the killer was, but Allah revealed what you concealed. 7️⃣3️⃣ So We instructed, “Strike the dead body with a piece of the cow.” This is how ˹easily˺ Allah brings the dead to life, showing you His signs so that you may understand. 7️⃣4️⃣ Even then your hearts became hardened like a rock or even harder, for some rocks gush rivers; others split, spilling water; while others are humbled in awe of Allah. And Allah is never unaware of what you do. 7️⃣5️⃣ Do you ˹believers still˺ expect them to be true to you, though a group of them would hear the word of Allah then knowingly corrupt it after understanding it? Reflection for today: "The lessons of the Qur’an are for those who listen, understand and act with sincere obedience." 🤲✨

Reflection for today: "And seek help through patience and prayer." 🤲✨

Translation of the Ayahs of Quran ✨بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ✨ Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow) | Ayahs 2:45–2:65 📖 4️⃣5️⃣ And seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, it is a burden except for the humble— 4️⃣6️⃣ those who are certain that they will meet their Lord and to Him they will return. 4️⃣7️⃣ O Children of Israel! Remember ˹all˺ the favours I granted you and how I honoured you above the others. 4️⃣8️⃣ Guard yourselves against the Day on which no soul will be of help to another. No intercession will be accepted, no ransom taken, and no help will be given. 4️⃣9️⃣ ˹Remember˺ how We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord. 5️⃣0️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when We parted the sea, rescued you, and drowned Pharaoh’s people before your very eyes. 5️⃣1️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when We appointed forty nights for Moses, then you worshipped the calf in his absence, acting wrongfully. 5️⃣2️⃣ Even then We ˹still˺ forgave you so perhaps you would be grateful. 5️⃣3️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when We gave Moses the Scripture—the decisive authority‎—‎that perhaps you would be ˹rightly˺ guided. 5️⃣4️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Surely you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf, so turn in repentance to your Creator and execute ˹the calf-worshippers among˺ yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance. Surely He is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful. 5️⃣5️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We will never believe you until we see Allah with our own eyes,” so a thunderbolt struck you while you were looking on. 5️⃣6️⃣ Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that perhaps you would be grateful. 5️⃣7️⃣ And ˹remember when˺ We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, ˹saying˺, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” The evildoers ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves. 5️⃣8️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when We said, “Enter this city and eat freely from wherever you please; enter the gate with humility, saying, ‘Absolve us.’ We will forgive your sins and multiply the reward for the good-doers.” 5️⃣9️⃣ But the wrongdoers changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their rebelliousness. 6️⃣0️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when Moses prayed for water for his people, We said, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out, ˹and˺ each tribe knew its drinking place. ˹We then said,˺ “Eat and drink of Allah’s provisions, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.” 6️⃣1️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when you said, “O Moses! We cannot endure the same meal ˹every day˺. So ˹just˺ call upon your Lord on our behalf, He will bring forth for us some of what the earth produces of herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” Moses scolded ˹them˺, “Do you exchange what is better for what is worse? ˹You can˺ go down to any village and you will find what you have asked for.” They were stricken with disgrace and misery, and they invited the displeasure of Allah for rejecting Allah’s signs and unjustly killing the prophets. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and violations. 6️⃣2️⃣ Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 6️⃣3️⃣ And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from you and raised the mountain above you ˹saying˺, “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.” 6️⃣4️⃣ Yet you turned away afterwards. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy upon you, you would have certainly been of the losers. 6️⃣5️⃣ You are already aware of those of you who broke the Sabbath. We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”

The Best 10 Days of the year: Dhul Hijjah 📿 Recommended Dhikr (Remembrance) Increase your daily remembrance. The Prophet (ﷺ) instructed us to abundantly recite Tahleel, Takbeer, and Tahmeed during these days: Tahleel: La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah) ☝️ Takbeer: Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) 🕋 Tahmeed: Alhamdulillah (All praise belongs to Allah) 🤲 The Takbeerat of Tashreeq From the dawn of the 9th of Dhul Hijjah until the Asr prayer of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah, recite this after every obligatory prayer:

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil hamd. (Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, there is no god but Allah. And Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.)

🏔️ The Day of Arafat (9th of Dhul Hijjah) The Day of Arafat is the pinnacle of Hajj, but its blessings extend to those of us watching from home. It is a day of immense forgiveness and freedom from the Fire. Why is it so important? It is the day Islam was perfected: Allah revealed Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:3) on this day: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you..." The Power of Fasting: For those not performing Hajj, fasting on this day brings an unbelievable reward. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafat, and he said: "It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year." — Sahih Muslim ✨🖊️✨🖊️✨🖊️✨🖊️✨🖊️✨🖊️✨ Whatsapp - https://chat.whatsapp.com/LaMQfQOpOe5IKtvuwlqTPg Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98

✨ The Best Days of the Year: Dhul Hijjah ✨ The blessed month of Dhul Hijjah is almost here! The first ten days of this month are a golden🌟 opportunity, packed with immense rewards. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) declared them as the greatest days of the world. Here is your ultimate guide to maximizing your rewards during this sacred time. 👇 📖 What the Qur'an Says Allah (SWT) swears by these specific nights in the Qur'an, highlighting their immense significance:

"By the dawn; And [by] ten nights." — Surah Al-Fajr (89:1-2)

Note: Ibn Kathir and many other scholars confirmed that these "ten nights" refer specifically to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. 💬 What the Hadith Says The Prophet (ﷺ) emphasized that good deeds done in these ten days are more beloved to Allah than at any other time of the year.

"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than those days." (i.e. the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah). They said: "O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the path of Allah?" He said: "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except a man who goes out desiring that with his self and his wealth, and he does not return with anything of that." — Sunan Ibn Majah

Asma ul Husna Living by the names of Allah Searching for Meaning? Discover the 4 Names of Allah That Bring Absolute Clarity Life can often feel like a confusing maze. One day we feel completely aligned, and the next, we are overwhelmed by distractions. But did you know that the story of our existence from our very first breath to our ultimate destination is entirely about seeking and recognizing Guidance? Here is a breakdown of 4 beautiful Names of Allah and how they help us navigate the twists and turns of life: 1. Al-Hadi (The Guide) * The Meaning: The One who gives the ultimate gift of guidance. * The Reality: Allah does not create anything without guiding it. Think about it: birds migrate across continents without a compass, and a newborn instinctively knows how to find its mother. In the same way, our souls naturally know the way back to Him. * The Straight Path: Imagine a straight road lined with walls and curtained doors. The road is Islam, the walls are Allah's boundaries, and the doors are the prohibitions. Al-Hadi guides you to stay on the main road and avoid the side doors of distraction. 2. Al-Rashid (The Guide to the Right Course) * The Meaning: The One who doesn't just guide your mind, but rewires your desires. * The Reality: Rushd is when you don't even need a GPS anymore because the route has become second nature. When you attain this, doing the right thing feels completely natural, faith becomes incredibly sweet to your heart, and turning away from sin becomes instinctual. 3. An-Nur (The Light) * The Meaning: The One who illuminates your path and dispels all darkness. * The Reality: Physical light allows our eyes to see physical shapes, but spiritual light allows the heart to see true meaning. When Allah shines His light into your life, your perspective expands. Even in your darkest moments of despair or confusion, An-Nur brings clarity. 4. Al-Mubin (The Manifest / The Evident) * The Meaning: The One who makes the truth completely clear to anyone who looks for it. * The Reality: He has left signs in every single corner of creation. Two people can look at the exact same night sky or read the same verse; one might shrug, while the other's heart trembles in awe. Al-Mubin reveals the lessons hidden within our daily trials. A Beautiful Dua to Save and Recite: "Ya Hadi, guide me when my heart forgets the way. Ya Rashid, teach me to see the truth instinctively. Ya Nur, light every darkness I carry within. Ya Mubin, make Your signs clear in everything around me. Amen." 🥀❤️🥀❤️🥀❤️🥀❤️🥀❤️🥀❤️🥀 https://chat.whatsapp.com/LaMQfQOpOe5IKtvuwlqTPg T.me/Gemsofjannah98
