  When we go to very high places — like mountains or airplanes — the oxygen levels drop. At high altitudes, our body breathes faster, and the chest muscles, including the diaphragm, work harder. This causes tightness in the chest (muscles strained). If these muscles can’t move freely, the chest cavity can’t fully expand — the lungs can’t fill with enough air, leading to a constricted feeling and shortness of breath.This leads to a condition called hypoxia — insufficient oxygen reaching the body’s tissues due to reduced oxygen levels. More than 1,447 years ago, the Quran described this exact phenomenon in two words — tight and constricted: "…He makes his chest tight and constricted as if he were climbing into the sky…" (Quran 6:125) The physical reality of a disbeliever who finds it difficult to accept the truth is compared to a person climbing to the extreme heights of mountains or ascending into the sky, who finds it extremely difficult to breathe due to the tightening and c...

  I apologized to my mom and she just rolled her eyes. What should I do now? Ask Allah for forgiveness, and if you have offended your mother, then ask her to forgive you for the sake of Allah — choose a moment when she is in a good mood, and do some kind act for her, such as giving her a body massage or helping her with something she needs. If she forgives you, then  alhamdulillāh . But if she does not forgive you, then know that your Lord is sufficient for you, and He can forgive you even if it is related to the rights of His creation — even the closest ones such as parents. Relevant Hadith: The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah is more merciful to His servant than a mother is to her child.” —  Sahih al-Bukhari, 5999; Sahih Muslim, 2754 And he ﷺ said: “The one who repents from sin is like the one who has no sin.” —  Sunan Ibn Mājah, 4250 (hasan) These ahadith show Allah’s vast mercy and that sincere repentance wipes away sins. However, if you wronged someone, you should still ...

  Ask Yourself: Who is Your God? If the one you worship is a stone idol — a statue that cannot hear, cannot speak, cannot benefit or harm — then why bow to what is powerless? “Indeed, those you call upon besides Allah cannot create [even] a fly… and if the fly takes something from them, they cannot recover it.” — Qur’ān 22:73 If your god is a human being — a man or woman — or any created being like animals or stars… then they are weak like you : they fear, they suffer, they depend, and they will die. “They are but servants like you.” — Qur’ān 7:194 But if you worship Allah — the One unlike anything in all creation … then you worship the One truly worthy of worship. “There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.” — Qur’ān 42:11 He is Al-Aḥad — the One and Only. He is Aṣ-Ṣamad — the One upon whom all depend. سورة الإخلاص قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ۝ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ Say: He is Allah, th...

  ✨ How are the Hands of Allah unlike His creation? 1️⃣ We affirm what Allah affirms for Himself Allah says: “The whole earth will be in His Hand on the Day of Judgment, and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand.” — Surah Az-Zumar 39:67 The Prophet ﷺ recited this verse and reminded us that: Allah truly has a Hand This does not resemble the hands of creation This is aqidah of Ahlus-Sunnah : We affirm the meaning without asking how (بِلَا كَيْف) We do not liken Allah to His creation We do not deny or distort His Attributes 2️⃣ Surah Ikhlāṣ explains why His Hand is unique قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ “Say: He is Allah, One.” اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ “Allah is Perfectly Self-Sufficient.” لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ “He does not beget, nor was He begotten.” وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ “There is nothing comparable to Him.” ⚠️ This final ayah is the foundation: "There is NOTHING like Allah." So His Hand is not like any hand we know. 3️⃣ Our understanding is between two extr...

  On the False Belief of Reincarnation or Rebirth The belief in reincarnation or rebirth is false and rejected in Islam. Allah says in the Qur’an : “If they were returned, they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars.” (Sūrah al-An‘ām 6:28) And Allah says: “Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: ‘My Lord, send me back, that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind.’ No! It is only a word he is saying…” (Sūrah al-Mu’minūn 23:99–100) These verses clearly prove that there is no return to worldly life to correct mistakes. If a person were returned, he would repeat the same denial and sins . There is no lesson in reincarnation , only the repetition of the same mistakes. Guidance is accepted before death , not after witnessing the unseen.

  What are the requirements for marriage here in Saudi Arabia? I’m a Christian from the Philippines, and he is an Islam from Pakistan. We are both working here in Saudia Arabia. What are the Islamic requirements for marriage (and why they apply globally)? 1. Islam is a universal law for all mankind Regardless of place of residence, nationality, or ethnicity, the Sharīʿah of the final Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ is global and universal . Unlike previous prophets who were sent to specific nations, the final Messenger was sent to all people and all worlds . Allah says: “Say, O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.” (Qur’an 7:158) “And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Qur’an 21:107) “Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His servant that he may be a warner to the worlds.” (Qur’an 25:1) “This Qur’an has been revealed to me that I may warn you with it and whomever it reaches.” (Qur’an 6:19) These verses establish beyond doubt that Islam is not...

The Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah), when people will be given their Book of Deeds (Kitab al-A‘mal) that records everything they did in their lives. Right Hand vs. Left Hand: People of Jannah (Paradise) will receive their book in their right hand , signifying salvation and success. People of Hell will receive it in their left hand or from behind their back , symbolizing regret, failure, and punishment. 📖 Qur’an Reference — Surah Al-Haqqah (69:19–25): “Then as for him who is given his Record in his right hand, he will say, ‘Here, read my Record!’” “Indeed, I was sure that I would be meeting my account.” “So he will be in a pleasant life…” “…But as for him who is given his Record in his left hand, he will say, ‘Oh, I wish I had not been given my Record.’” The Book of Deeds as a Source of Joy: In Surah Al-Haqqah (69:19), the person who receives the book in their right hand says joyfully: “Here, read my Record!” This suggests pride and happiness in sharing and remembering those de...
