2418 And God clarifies for you the revelations; and God is Knower, Wise.
2418

2378 And He is the One who established for you the hearing, and the sight, and the hearts. Little do you give thanks.
2378

I take this to be in the literal sense as well as in the figurative sense. We should be thankful to Allah for opening our ears, eyes and hearts to His revelation.

2265 Did you not see that God commits to you what is on the earth? And the ships sail in the sea with His permission. And He holds the sky so that it would not collapse upon the earth, except by His permission. Indeed, God is Kind towards the people, Merciful.

2265

2119 And to Him is whoever is in the heavens and on the earth. And those who are near Him are not too proud to serve Him, nor do they complain.
2120 They glorify in the night and the day, they do not cease.

2119
2120

2075 And he who comes to Him as a believer doing good works, for those will be the highest ranks.

1976 And God increases the guidance of those who are guided. And the goodness that endures is better with your Lord as a reward and a far better return.

I'll do two since I missed yesterday. Surah 17 for the 17th of January and surah 18 for the 18th.

17111 And say Praise be to God who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness. And glorify Him greatly.
17111

18109 Say If the sea were an inkwell for the words of my Lord, then the sea would run out before the words of my Lord run out; even if We were to bring another like it as an extension.
18109

1614 And He is the One who has commissioned the sea, that you may eat from it a tender meat, and that you may extract from it pearls that you wear. And you see the ships flowing through it, so that you may seek from His bounty, and that you may be thankful.

That sarcastic remark above the nature of Khadija's ENQUIRY.

Btw, the word in 65/4 is 'nisaa'ikum' (grown women) not 'walidat' or 'banat' (which could refer to children). Glad to see your loyalty as a 'muslim woman' there, Khadija.

I don't appreciate your sarcasm. I was honestly asking a question.

1598 So glorify the praise of your Lord, and be of those who prostrate.

Salaam Layth,

Thank you for your post. It has been extremely helpful. handshake

2458 O you who believe, let those who are maintained by your oaths, and those who have not yet attained puberty, request your permission regarding three times before the dawn contact prayer, and when you put off your attire from the noon time, and after the evening contact prayer. These are three private times for you. Other than these times, it is not wrong for you or them to intermingle with one another. God thus clarifies the revelations for you. And God is Knowledgeable, Wise.

I'm guessing that pre-pubescents wouldn't need to request permission if they were married to the person.

Thanks again and jazakAllah khair!

Salaam Layth, I knew there had to be a reason behind it! Thank you

Salaam Mazhar, You have a point there.

When I searched these particular surahs I didn't come across any answers as to why the punishments are different for each gender (and harsher for the women imo. ) There must be a reason behind it.

Salaam.

Salaam,

It's really hard to put this in words but I think God is telling us that He will guide us and inspire an explanation to us.

4251 And it is not for any human being that God would speak to him,
except through inspiration, or from behind a barrier, or by sending
a messenger to inspire whom He wills with His permission. He is
Most High, Wise.

I hope that helped some. May Allah guide us all.

Thanks Huruf. Your post was really comforting. I am currently on chapter 15 of the Qur'an here on FM. I don't read Arabic yet but I plan on learning it.

I pray that Allah makes my faith firm.

Salaam and JazakAllah khair! handshake

Thank you for that link Wakas! It answered so many of my questions.

abdalquran, You all are going to be SICK of all my inquiries pretty soon! I have too many of them.

1434 And He has given you all that you have asked Him. And if you count the blessings of God, you will not be able to number them. Man is indeed transgressing, disbelieving.

1434

Salaam,

This site is really worrying me!

http//infidelsarecool.com/2008/01/11/top-10-quran-quotes-every-woman-must-see/

I am a muslim woman and I'm really shocked right now.

I understand points 8, 6, 4, 3, and 2. Can anyone help me understand the other points.

Thanks so much! You guys are amazing!

Salaam,

I don't understand why women are restricted until death but men are troubled for a bit and then left alone. That seems a little unfair to me. ???

415 And those of your women who commit lewdness, you shall bring four witnesses over them from among you; if they bear witness, then you shall restrict them in the homes until death terminates their lives, or God makes for them a way out.
416 And the two men who commit it from among you, you shall trouble them. If they repent and amend, then leave them alone. God is Redeemer, Merciful.

JazakAllah khair!
