Surah Al Qasas: Chapter 2
Pharaoh divided the people of Egypt into two groups.
The two groups were:
-Bani Israel - who shifted to Egypt through Yusuf AS
-Qibti - The locals of Egypt
Although they were living in same land, Pharaoh had created a division.
He would oppress Bani Israel. He made them the lowest class and tortured them to the point that he would slaughter their sons and keep the women alive and no one from the other group stood up to defend them.
Because of the division. Firaun had done a good job of separating them, creating animosity between them.
This was very important for Firaun because if people start seeing themselves as one, then they may unify, and if they unify, then he may lose control over them. If you can keep people apart, if you can keep people divided, then you can pick them off easily. If people are united, you can't touch them. The easiest way to do that is to create a class society.
So, Pharaoh had a plan. He wanted to destroy, oppress, and control Bani Israel.
But Allah had a different plan. Allah wanted to make those oppressed people leaders and inheritors of the land as mentioned in Surah al Qasas.
Whose plan worked out at the end? Allah's plan!
Oppression and injustice cannot exist forever. Allah does not like fasaad. He allows it to happen, He let's the oppressors do whatever they want to only for some time.
Eventually what happens? Allah intervenes and seizes the oppressor.
We have studied again and again that any person who reached the height of power, eventually he was brought down.
Prophet SAW said, Fear the prayer of the oppressed, for indeed it is carried on clouds. Allah says by my honor and glory, I will surely help you even if it is after a time.
THIS IS WHY WE MUST NEVER LOSE HOPE.
There seemed to be no escape for Bani Israel, but weren't they saved? Yes.
Allah was telling this story to the Prophet (pbuh) when the Quraysh were oppressing him and every Muslim in Makkah. It sent a message that your pharaoh, the Quraysh, will be brought down very soon. Through the Prophet (pbuh), this story tells us that today's pharaoh 🇮🇱 will also be brought down very soon, and the oppressed people 🇵🇸 will be free. In the end, it is Allah's plan that wins.

"Allah is The One Who turns dust into beauty and beauty into dust."
— Muslim Smiles
The above quote is a reference to the idea that Allah swt has the power to transform and shape the world in ways that may seem miraculous or unexpected. It suggests that Allah swt can take something as seemingly insignificant or mundane as dust, and transform it into something beautiful and meaningful. At the same time, Allah swt can also take something that is beautiful and valuable, and reduce it to dust, or nothingness. This quote may be interpreted in a few different ways. On one hand, it could be seen as a reminder of the impermanence of things, and the idea that even the most beautiful things in life are temporary and subject to change. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a celebration of the transformative power of Allah swt and the idea that even the most ordinary or insignificant things can be made into something special and meaningful.
Ultimately, the quote encourages us to have faith in Allah swt and to trust in His plans and designs for the world. It reminds us that even when things seem difficult or uncertain, there is always the possibility of beauty and transformation, if we have the faith and patience to see it through.

Story of Ibrahim AS - Chapter 7
Hajrah is left alone in the desert by her husband. She has a newborn baby who needs milk, food, and shelter. There were no fields, no animals to get milk from. And when the husband was leaving, she asked him, "Is this what my Lord commands?" Ibrahim AS replied, "Yes, this is His command."
She replied, "Allah is sufficient for us, and He will not abandon us." So, because she relied on Allah, she was given water - just water. Even though the Zamzam water was a great miracle, it was still just water that could not help. Neither could the child grow, nor could life go on with just water. Water can quench thirst but not hunger. Water cannot build shelter or protect. Humans need sustenance to keep themselves alive and to create a sense of security and peace in their lives. Only water cannot fulfil all these needs.
If Hajrah had been an ordinary woman, she would have thought, "What has Allah given me? He only gave water.” But Hajrah was not ordinary. Her faith in her Lord was very strong.
Water doesn't seem like sustenance because it can't satisfy hunger or fulfill life's comforts. But those who trust in Allah, Allah provides them with all the treasures from within water.
When Hajrah discovered the spring of Zamzam, birds were the first to notice. Mecca was originally a transit point where many caravans passed through. One such caravan coming from Yemen was named Banu Jurhum. They were desperate for water, searching tirelessly but finding none. Seeing the birds, they hoped for water. When they came closer, they found a woman and her child there. Hajrah made it clear to them that this well of Zamzam belonged to her and her son because it was provided by Allah for them.
The people of Banu Jurhum were noble and asked permission from Hajrah to use the water from the well. They also offered to compensate her for it. In those times, there were no paper currency notes. It was either a system of barter or trade. So, in exchange for water, they would offer goods such as grains, meat, and other items.
So, Hajrah began selling water to them, and they paid its price in exchange. They wanted to settle in the same area. Hajrah agreed to this as well. Thus, a whole tribe from Yemen, originally part of the ruling elite of Yemen, but forced to leave their country for some reason, settled near Hajrah. And that is how Allah helped Hajrah and Ismail.
What is water for us?
The Quran itself has been called water. Divine revelation. Knowledge given by Allah. Allah's Quran.
Do you think the Quran is only useful for quenching the thirst for knowledge and that the good deeds it brings will accumulate like credits for the afterlife? The Quran doesn't bring you any material benefit in this life?
But... that's not the case.
The Quran is like water that will pour into your life one day. If you think that the Quran can only give me rewards. You are wrong.
Because the Quran is what will bring birds to your desert-like life. It will attract influential people to you who can bring sustenance and progress to your life. It is the Quran that will create such attraction in front of the world that people will come to your door for help. It is the Quran that will provide you sustenance from where you couldn't even imagine. Because if anyone has fulfilled their promise from eternity, it is your Lord. And He says that whoever trusts in Him, He will provide sustenance for them from the depths of the earth. Meaning, He will create sources of income for you from places you couldn't even think of.
Your Lord has promised you that if you hold onto this water(Quran) and trust in Him, He will turn all the birds and caravans towards you. Hajrah owned the well her Lord had provided. You need to own your Lord's water, your Quran. Zamzam was Hajrah and Ismail’s miracle. What is the miracle of this ummah? Quran!
If you make the Quran part of your daily routine, whether through memorization, tajweed, or tafsir classes, listening to recitations in gatherings or daily reflection, the Quran will open doors of blessings in your life. The reward of this world and the reward of the hereafter are separate. The Quran will bring you success and prosperity in this world too.
Hajrah obeyed Allah's command. She accepted Allah's decision for herself, and Allah opened water and sustenance for her. In a barren desert, He provided sustenance for them and a community too. The only condition is that you become content with your destiny first. The thing you can't change at all, accept it wholeheartedly, and then witness the miracles.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM
You shall never understand Islam as a religion unless you read the accusations raised against it by non-Muslims, and then read the responses given by Muslim scholars to those accusations. I believe you will never be a true Muslim before you do that, use your common sense and come to a solid understanding of Islamic law; thereafter, you can decide for yourself whether to adhere to Islam or continue searching for the worthiest religion of your faith. This is what my book and my blog are all about. I hope you find amidst its posts what helps you in this endeavour.

The previous posts are just samples of what you can find on my free blog and inside the book (a free pdf version is available on the blog). I hope you would be interested in reading and learning instead of following others' opinions or stereotyping those who are different.
