Sorah Al-Burooj ( The Big Stars ) - Verses Number 22

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ ( 1 )

By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ ( 2 )

By the promised Day (of Judgment);

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ( 3 )

By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ ( 4 )

Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ ( 5 )

Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ( 6 )

Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ( 7 )

And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ ( 8 )

And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ( 9 )

Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ ( 10 )

Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ ( 11 )

For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ( 12 )

Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ( 13 )

It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ ( 14 )

And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ ( 15 )

Lord of the Throne of Glory,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ( 16 )

Doer (without let) of all that He intends.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ ( 17 )

Has the story reached thee, of the forces-

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ( 18 )

Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ ( 19 )

And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ ( 20 )

But Allah doth encompass them from behind!

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ ( 21 )

Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ ( 22 )

(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!

A Calm Dialogue between Sunnah and ShiaIn this book, Dr. Abdur-Rahman Dimashqeyyah shows and discusses the wrong believes in Shii doctrine. He said in his introduction, "… My intention is simply to make clear to every Shia what the books of their religious leaders contain. These are things that many people still do not realize. My intention is to maintain an objective position, far from bigotry and blind allegiance to traditions. My only reason for writing it is to earn the pleasure of Allah and to clarify the truth to all who are interested to hear it. We should all free ourselves from prejudice and wild ideas, and avoid making inflammatory and insulting charges that fuel the emotions, block the path to truth, and widen the chasm between us. These things do nothing but dissipate the spirit of peace and harmony."

Your Day in RamadanThis is a useful book talks about how a fasting Muslim should spend his day in Ramadan. This is regarding deeds by which he abides during his day. No doubt he should be eager to instill the good morals into himself while performing this great rite. He should not forget to ask Allah when he breaks his fasting, for Allah promised that he answers the fasting Muslim’s invocation when he breaks his fast. He should remember that it is highly recommended to perform Qiyam (supererogatory prayers at night) to get his sins forgiven.

The Dreamer's HandbookThis book starts by presenting a spiritual understanding of sleep from the Islamic viewpoint, which is followed by guidelines for recommended evening, pre-sleep, night, and morning acts of worship. The conceptual understanding of dreams is laid out next, followed by an analytical study of dreams in the Quran, and of dreams seen by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and by his companions (R). The rest of the book deals with dream interpretation, its correct rules and procedures, drills to help understand these rules, and a large glossary of interpreted dream symbols. This, we hope, fulfills two important goals regarding sleep and dreams: It establishes their understanding upon the strong foundation of the Quran and Sunnah, and it eliminates a great deal of superstition that surrounds them. Indeed, from Allah (SWT) alone we seek help and acceptance.
