The Arrival of The Angel

THE COMING OF THE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL

Muhammad sought loneliness
Retired to Hira, sat amidst its darkness
As the night of Arabia swept through
He was up there as the cold wind blew

As Muhammad was in deep thought
An angel appeared in sight
Asked him to read which he knew not
For he could not read or write

Muhammad spoke with fright
And said he could not recite
Gabriel embraced him thrice
Five verses to memorize

Took his energy, fled from the site
Rushed home to his beloved spouse
Shivering with fear through the night
Kadijah comforted him in his house


Waraqah, a monotheist in belief
And made Muhammad relief
For its the same angel who visited Moses
And the other Prophets and Jesus.

The Key of the Treasures of the Heavens and the Earth

W hen I wrote the post of my visit to see the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) , you may be wondering how that can be? To tell you the truth I felt the same way. But it is a norm for great learned people of the past to have experience of dreaming the great Prophet. I think it all decided by Allah swt to have a glimpse of the sweetness of faith. It is all about our intention in this life. What we actually want in the inner recesses of our hearts. What you want is what you get. I will also like to give some information of what I do in my daily life. 12 years ago I got the opportunity of a book on Islam. Therein I found a story of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. It is reported that ‘ Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, requested further information about Allah’s injunction of the Keys of the Treasure of the Heavens and the Earth (mentioned several times in the Quran). The Prophet saws said to him “You have inquired of me something which nobody has ever asked me befo...

Is Time Travelling possible

⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint. "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. An interesting part in this century is time travelling. We have seen it in movies, you tube and many other social media dramatising this phenomenon. Is time travel possible? Are there any references from the Reading (Quran)? The classic example of going into the future is depicted in 18:25. Its about the seven youth who wanted to safeguard their faith. A notorious King wanted everyone to acknowledge him as god. To this the seven youth ran away and sought God's help in a cave. To protect their faith! "they said: "Our Lord, bring us a mercy from Your...

I Was Taken Up To The Sky

G lory to (God) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless, - in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things). 17/1 It was the year 2005. One of my relative gave me a unique  digital tasbih (counter) from Mecca. I do have a counter but it is noisy when I click it to count. Asking Allah to bless upon Prophet Muhammad (saw) had been very beneficial to believers. It is known as "salawat" or "darood". However, repeating the same words could become a bored activity. There are hadith which propose 1000 daroods upon the Prophet. Some  opinionated   40000 daroods before a person reaches the age of 40. Forty is the age when our beloved Prophet was given prophet hood as he received the first five verses of the Al- Quran. Back in 2005 I got a project in building management which is located 30 over kilometers in the East,I had to leave fro...
