The unseen world holds many mysteries, and among them are the jinn—beings created from smokeless fire, capable of influencing human lives in ways we often overlook. Today, Ustadah Laila Nasheeba shared powerful insights on how to protect ourselves from the harm of evil jinn.

The story of the Sabbath-breakers in Surah Al Araf (verses 163-166) offers a powerful reflection on human behavior, community dynamics, and Divine justice. Ustadah Laila Nasheeba, drawing on the Maqasidic tafsir of Dr. Karim Abuzaid, unpacks this narrative to reveal three distinct groups within the community: those who violated the Sabbath restrictions with cunning, those who stood firm in defending the Divine command, and those who remained passive, criticizing the defenders

The Quran reminds us of a powerful truth in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 281: "And fear the Day when you shall be brought back to Allah. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly." This verse calls us to reflect deeply on our responsibilities—not only to Allah but also to our families and ourselves. Dr. Ibrahim Dremali, in his recent Quranic Reflections & Prophetic Guidance class, highlighted how this verse urges believers to fulfill their

Believing that some people can know the unseen is a serious mistake that many fall into. Fortune tellers, soothsayers, astrologers, tea cup readers, and similar figures claim to have knowledge beyond what is humanly possible. This belief not only misguides people but also contradicts the core teachings of Islam. Ustadah Laila Nasheeba has spoken clearly about this issue, warning against trusting those who claim to know the unseen, as their knowledge does not come from Allah b

The story of the Children of Israel in Surah Al-Araf, verses 160-162, offers a powerful reflection on the relationship between divine generosity and human response.

This pattern reveals deep insights into human nature and the challenges of faithfulness. Drawing from Ustadah Laila Nasheeba’s Maqasidic Tafsir based on Dr. Karim Abuzai

The Quran presents itself as a profound source of guidance, wisdom, and challenge. Surah Al Isra, also known as Surah Bani Isra’il, contains layers of meaning that invite reflection and understanding. Ustadah Laila Nasheeba, drawing on the work of Dr. Karim Abuzaid, highlights a fascinating aspect of this Surah: the mirroring of verses 88-96 with verses 9-17. This mirroring constitutes what is known as the second ring of Surah Al-Isra, revealing how the Quran challenges its r

The Quran often reminds believers about the nature and role of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In Surah Al Imran, verses 144 to 151, the message is clear: the Prophet is a messenger, not divine, and many messengers came before him. This reminder is crucial for understanding the limits of the Prophet’s role and the importance of faith in God alone. Dr. Ibrahim Dremali’s recent class on the fiqh and implementation of these verses sheds light on this topic, emphasizing
