Death is not the end. In Islam, it marks the beginning of a new journey — a journey that leads to either peace and reward or regret and punishment. Have you ever wondered what exactly happens to your soul after you die ? Let’s walk through it, step by step, according to the Qur'an and authentic Hadiths. 1. The Moment of Death When the time of death comes, Allah sends the Angel of Death ( Malak al-Mawt ) to take the soul. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, angels with bright faces come down from heaven... Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head and says, 'O good soul, come out to the forgiveness of Allah and His pleasure!'" (Sahih Muslim 2872) For the disbeliever or wicked soul, the scene is very different: "O wicked soul, come out to the anger of Allah and His wrath!" (Sahih Muslim 2872) 2. The Journey to the Heavens For the righteous, the ang...

In today’s world, many Muslims experience unexplained hardships — health problems, financial losses, or sudden emotional changes — and wonder if it's due to the evil eye or sihr (magic) . Islam acknowledges the existence of both and provides clear guidance for protection. Let’s explore what the Qur’an and Sunnah say about this, and how you can safeguard yourself and your loved ones. What is the Evil Eye (al-‘Ayn)? The Prophet ﷺ said: "The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye." — [Sahih Muslim 2188] The evil eye occurs when someone looks at something with envy or admiration without saying Bismillah or praying for blessings ( Barak Allahu feek ). It can harm the person, object, or animal looked at. What is Sihr (Magic) in Islam? Sihr (magic/sorcery) is real and haram . It involves jinn and shirk (associating partners with Allah). The Qur’an mentions the magicians of Pharaoh and how they deceived people. “...

Death is certain. But the greatest pain isn't dying — it's realizing what you should’ve done before you died. The Qur’an and Hadith reveal what many people will regret deeply after death. Here are 8 of them — may Allah protect us. Follow our channel for more Islamic reminders and reflections 🥰 1. Neglecting Salah (Prayer) The first thing you’ll be questioned about on the Day of Judgment. “ What has caused you to enter Hell?” They will say: “We were not of those who used to pray.” — Surah Al-Muddaththir (74:42-43) 2. Wasting Time in the Dunya Time is a blessing we often realize too late. “ Until, when death comes to one of them, he says, ‘My Lord, send me back so I may do good in what I left behind!’” — Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:99–100) 3. Not Giving in Charity Many will regret holding back wealth. “ And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you…” — Surah Al-Munafiqun (63:10) 4. Following Bad Friends Some...

Islamic Shari’ah is not just a spiritual guide—it’s also a treasure of timeless wisdom. Many teachings found in the Qur’an and Sunnah (Shari’ah) have recently been confirmed by science, even though they were revealed more than 1,400 years ago! Here are 12 powerful examples where science has now caught up with what Islam said all along: 1. Embryology in the Womb Shari’ah Teaching: Allah says in the Qur’an: "We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed..." (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:12-14) The Prophet ﷺ also described the stages of creation in the womb in authentic ahadith. Scientific Proof: Modern embryology confirms the exact development of the fetus in stages, matching the Qur’anic description. 2. The Protective Role of the Sky Shari’ah Teaching: "We made the sky a protected ceiling, yet they are turning away from its signs." (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:32) Scientific Proof: The atmosphere shields th...

Every year, Christians across the world celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday to commemorate the death, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus (peace be upon him). These two days are at the heart of Christian theology, reflecting the belief in Jesus as the Son of God who died for humanity’s sins and was resurrected on the third day. However, the Islamic view differs significantly. In Islam, the belief about Jesus (known as Isa in Arabic) is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the faith, especially in relation to the events surrounding his death. Islam teaches that Jesus was neither crucified nor killed, and that he is still alive in the presence of Allah. Here’s a deeper exploration of the Islamic perspective on Jesus, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. 1. The Qur’an and the Denial of the Crucifixion One of the most important differences between Christianity and Islam is the belief in the crucifixion of Jesus. In the Qur’an, it is stated clearly that Jesus was not crucified: ...

Marriage in Islam is a sacred bond—a source of peace, love, and tranquility (Sakinah). Yet, many marriages break not because of one major issue, but a series of small, neglected actions. Below are 10 things that can harm or even destroy a marriage , along with Islamic solutions to avoid them. 1. Lack of Communication Problem: Silence or constant arguing. Solution: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged open, respectful dialogue. Talk often, listen sincerely. Qur’an: “And speak to people good [words]...” (Qur’an 2:83) 2. Neglecting Emotional Needs Problem: Not showing love, kindness, or attention. Solution: The Prophet ﷺ used to express love to his wives and listen to them. Emotional connection is key. Hadith: “The best of you are those who are best to their wives...” (Tirmidhi) 3. Constant Criticism and Blame Problem: Always pointing out flaws or blaming the other. Solution: Be patient and focus on the good. Hadith: “A believer should not hate a believing woman. If ...

Raising righteous children is one of the greatest trusts Allah has placed upon us. Islam provides a complete, divine framework for parenting—full of love, discipline, mercy, and responsibility. Let’s explore powerful parenting lessons from the Qur’an and authentic Hadith that every Muslim parent should know: 1. Be a Role Model – Children Imitate You Allah says: “O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire…” [Surah At-Tahrim 66:6] The Prophet ﷺ was the perfect example of mercy, honesty, and humility. Before you teach your child anything, become what you want to teach them . Kids mirror your salah, speech, habits, and emotions. Tip: Let your actions speak louder than your words. 2. Teach Tawheed Early The first lesson Luqman gave his son was about not associating partners with Allah . “O my son, do not associate anything with Allah. Indeed, shirk is a great injustice.” [Surah Luqman 31:13] Instill love of Allah, understanding of tawheed, and t...

When we look at the story of Abu Lahab and his wife , we find one of the few instances where specific individuals were condemned by name in the Qur’an. Surah Al-Masad (Surah Lahab) is a short but powerful surah that continues to deliver timeless lessons about arrogance, hatred, and the dangers of opposing divine truth. Who Was Abu Lahab in Islam? Abu Lahab, whose real name was ‘Abd al-‘Uzza , was the uncle of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Despite their blood relation, he was one of the most hostile enemies of Islam. His opposition to the Prophet ﷺ was so fierce that Allah revealed a whole surah about him — Surah Al-Masad , also known as Surah Abu Lahab . Surah Al-Masad Meaning and Translation Surah Al-Masad (111:1–5) تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌۭ مِّن مَّسَدٍۢ Translation: "May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he. His wealth w...

In our journey through life, we all make mistakes. But Islam, in its beauty and mercy, constantly reminds us that no matter how far we've strayed, we can always return to Allah. The door of repentance is always open — and there are specific good deeds the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Qur’an mentioned that wash away sins, even if they’re as vast as the ocean. In this blog post, you’ll discover powerful Islamic deeds that erase sins , along with authentic hadiths and Qur’anic references to help reignite your hope in Allah’s mercy. 1. Sincere Tawbah (Repentance) Qur’anic Reference: "And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed."

(Sunan Ibn Majah 4250) Conditions of Tawbah: Stop the sin immediately. Regret committing the sin. Resolve never ...

Marriage in Islam is a sacred bond. But being married doesn’t give you permission to cross Islamic boundaries. Sadly, some couples fall into sins unknowingly, thinking that being married makes everything halal. This post sheds light on haram (forbidden) acts that remain prohibited even after marriage , according to the Qur’an, Sunnah, and scholarly opinions. 1. Engaging in Anal Intercourse Ruling: Strictly haram in Islam. Evidence: The Prophet ﷺ said: “He who has intercourse with his wife in her back passage has disbelieved.” – [Abu Dawood, 3904 | Classed as Sahih by Al-Albani] Even if a husband and wife are married, anal sex is forbidden and a major sin. 2. Having Intimacy During Menstruation Ruling: Haram. Evidence: “They ask you about menstruation. Say: It is harm, so keep away from women during menstruation…” (Qur’an 2:222) Sexual intercourse during menses is prohibited, though other forms of affection are allowed. 3. Sharing Private Marital Intimacy Publicly R...
