Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday): Eternal Home of Peace and Happiness

Allah says, “Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging, Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.” 

(Quran, Al-Kahf 18:108-109)

These ayahs tell us that those who truly believe in Allah and do good will be rewarded with Paradise forever. It’s not just a temporary place, but their permanent home where they will always be happy and content. Unlike this world, where people often get bored or want something new, in Paradise they will never wish to move or change, because it will be perfect in every way.

The Three Beautiful Responses in the Qur’an

The Three Beautiful Responses in the Qur’an

In the Qur’an, Allah teaches us three “beautiful” ways to handle life’s struggles: ṣabr jameel (beautiful patience) in Surah Yusuf (12:18), hajr jameel (beautiful avoidance) in Surah al-Muzzammil (73:10), and ṣafḥ jameel (beautiful forgiveness) in Surah al-Hijr (15:85). 

Beautiful patience means holding on in tough times without complaining to people, only turning to Allah. 

Beautiful avoidance means stepping away from those who cause harm or trouble, but doing so calmly and with dignity, not in anger. 

Beautiful forgiveness means letting go of grudges and forgiving others with a clean heart. 

Put together, these three teach us how to stay strong, peaceful, and close to Allah when facing trials or dealing with difficult people.

Beautiful Patience: Trusting Allah Like Prophet Ya‘qub

Beautiful Patience: Trusting Allah Like Prophet Ya‘qub

Prophet Ya‘qub (Jacob, peace be upon him) showed amazing patience when he lost his beloved son Yusuf. Even though his heart was full of pain, he never gave up hope in Allah. Instead of complaining to people, he turned to Allah with his sadness and trusted that Allah had a plan. This is what he called “beautiful patience”—enduring hardship without anger or despair, but with faith and hope. His story teaches us that patience means trusting Allah through life’s toughest trials and waiting for His mercy, no matter how long it takes.

فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌۖ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ

“So patience is most fitting. And it is Allah Whose help is sought against that which you describe.” 

(Qur’an, Yusuf 12:18)

Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday): A Simple Path to Meeting Allah

Allah says, 'Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."' (Quran, 18:110) 

This ayah teaches us that the Prophet ﷺ was a human being just like us, but Allah chose him to deliver the message that there is only one true God. If we truly hope to meet Allah one day, then we should focus on doing good deeds sincerely and never worship anyone or anything besides Him. In simple words: be sincere, do good, and keep your heart connected only to Allah.

Why We Still Need Teachers?

Why We Still Need Teachers?

No matter how much information is out there, we still need to learn from real, qualified teachers. Allah tells us in the Qur’an, “Ask the people of knowledge if you do not know” (16:43). If Allah wanted, He could have just sent down books for us to figure out on our own. But instead, He sent prophets who lived the message, explained it, and showed people how to practice it.

A good teacher doesn’t just give you facts. They help you understand things the right way, protect you from mistakes, and guide you in putting knowledge into action. You also learn from their manners, sincerity, and respect for Allah’s commands—things you can’t get from just reading or watching videos.

My Lord, increase me in knowledge. (20:114)
