Revealation of the Qur'an

By موحدة

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Qurʾān was brought down on the Messenger ﷺ for the first time in the night of Al-Qadr, in Ramadan.

Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’ân) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree). [97:1]

The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).[2:185]

We sent it (this Qur’ân) down on a blessed night. Verily, We are ever warning.Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments.[44:3-4]

The Prophet ﷺ when he received the Qur'ān was 40 years of age according to what's commonly stated by the people of knowledge as reported by Ibn Abbas, 'Ataa, Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyib and others.

This age of 40 is the age where full perfection of intellect and contemplation take place.

The one who brought down the Quran from Allaah to Prophet ﷺ was angel Jibreel, one of the close and honorable angels to Allah.

And truly, this (the Qur’ân) is a revelation from the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists), Which the trustworthy Rûh [Jibrîl (Gabriel)] has brought down[26:192-195]

Jibrîl عليه السلام was qualified with great honorable qualities such as strength closeness to Allaah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎, high ranking and respect amongst the angels, trustworthiness, beauty, purity all qualities fitting to be a Messenger of Allaah, trusted with the revelations to His Messengers.

Verily, this is the Word (this Qur’ân brought by) a most honourable messenger [Jibrîl (Gabrîl), from Allâh to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم].Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allâh), the Lord of the Throne,Obeyed (by the angels in the heavens), and trustworthy.[81:19-21]

He has been taught (this Qur’ân) by one mighty in power [Jibrîl (Gabriel)]One free from any defect in body and mind then he (Jibrîl - Gabriel in his real shape as created by Allah) rose and became stable.While he [Jibrîl (Gabriel)] was in the highest part of the horizon,[53:5-7]

Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrîl (Gabriel)] has brought it (the Qur’ân) down from your Lord with truth, that it may make firm and strengthen (the Faith of) those who believe, and as a guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted (to Allâh as Muslims).[16:102]

Allāh made clear to us the qualities of Jibrîl عليه السلام which indicates the greatness of the Qurʾān and the care of Allaah of this Book for He does not send anyone who is great except for a great matter.

Types of Hijrah and travelling to the lands of Kufr

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Firstly, Hijrah from land of kufr to land of islaam as the people of knowledge have said, is a must upon one who cannot establish his religious duties and practice his deen openly without being opposed, if he is able to practice his deen without being opposed then it's not a must rather recommended. If a person is from the land of Islām then it's not permissible for him to travel to the land of kufr as it constitutes a danger on his deen, his character, could be a waste of wealth, a kind of support to the economy of the land of Kufr. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ وَلۡيَجِدُواْ فِيكُمۡ غِلۡظَةًۚ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ   O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allâh is with those who are Al-Muttaqûn [9:123] This is when one has the ability, strenth and power. مَا كَانَ لِأَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَمَنۡ ح...

Noble manners: 4 matters that are regarded as pillars of morals and manners

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Prophet ﷺ said “ Verily, I have only been sent to perfect noble character ” or  “ righteous character. ” In islām virtuous conduct and complete good manners are encouraged. In fact when asked about the greatest of what a person may enter Jannah with, the Prophet ﷺ replied “ Having taqwa of الله and good character. ” And he ﷺ  also said “ Verily, the dearest of you to me and the closest of you to  me on the Day of Judgment will be those of you who are best  in conduct. ” So a Muslim must pay proper care, attention and have a great concern regarding this as it's the epitome of his happiness and success in dunya and Ākhirah. Islāmic mannerisms are based on four pillars. The first pillar is controlling and safeguarding the tounge, it's an essential principal for morals and manners, their foundations and strong supports are established upon it. Speech of tounge must be controlled and restricted to what is good for as long as the speech is not s...

Pleasing the people is an unattainable task!

﷽ أنا والله إرضاء الناس هذه غاية لا تدرك By الله, pleasing people is an impossible task. [Muḥammad Nāṣir ʾl-Dīn al-Albānī, Silsilah al-Hudá wa ʾl-Nūr al-Jadīd 888/8] محمد ناصر الدين الألباني، سلسلة الهدى والنور ٨٨٨/٨ @ilmtest — Making the people pleased with you is an unattainable task . Today they like you, next day they hate you, today they hold you as good next day just a simple mistake may make them forget your thousands of good you've done to them, today they speak well of you and hold you dear, next day they speak ill of you and distance you. Don't tire yourself by working for this unattainable goal of pleasing the people rather seek the Pleasure of the One to Whom you and these people belong. If the people are displeased but الله is Pleased with you then that's sufficient for you and that's what will truly benefit you. You can never please the people nor will their being pleased with you will truly benefit you specially if that pleasure was gained through the Di...
