Should you read a Surah after the the 3rd and 4th rakat of Fard prayers?

Question:

I recently learnt that i have been praying fard wrongly. after the first two rakah I did not know that you do not read a surah after surah fatiha. does this invalidate all my fard salaat.
Hanafi Fiqh > Askimam.org

i was very upset to learn that i have been praying fard incorrectly. i have been praying regularly for several years now and kazah salaat also after each prayer. please advice me if i should read kazah for all my fard salaats.thank you

Answer:

There is no Surah to be recited after Surah Faatiha in the third and fourth Rakaats of Fardh Salaat.

However, if one is recited a Surah, that does not invalidate the Salaat. Therefore, your previous Fardh Salaats are valid.

Please can you advise why it is that only in FARD salaat the third/fourth rakaat you dont recite any surah from the quran?

Hanafi Fiqh > Askimam.org

2) I was recently informed by a friend that you only recite Surah Iklyas(or any surah from the koran) in the first two rakaat of a FARD salaat and for the third/fourth rakaat surah fathiah is all you need to recite. I have always recited Surah Iklyas in my FARD salaat in the third/fourth rakaat as I was not aware of this. Please can you advise if my salaat will have been accepted? 3) I want to make up for the prayers I never used to pray, please can you advise if I only need to pray the fard for each salaat I ever missed. e.g Dhur salaat is 4 sunnat, 4 fard, 2 sunnat, 2 nafl, however do I only need to pray 4 fard of Dhur salaat when doing Qadhaa. I assume for Isha I need to also pray 3 Witr as well as 4 fard.

Answer:

1. In the third and four Rakaat of Fardh Salaat, only Surah Faatiha should be read. However, if another Surah was read with Surah Faatiha, the Salaat will be complete. There is no need to repeat the Salaat. (Hidaaya vol.1 pg.148; Ilmiyah)

2. There is no Qadhaa for Sunnah and Nafl (optional) Salaats. Qadhaa will be made only for Fardh and Witr Salaats. (Ibid pg.155)

You recite surah fatihah in all rakats of Fard prayers, in the first two with another surah, in the first with the intro prayer and in the last two alone.

1st rakat: Surah Fatiha + Recite any Surah
2nd rakat: Surah Fatiha + Recite any Surah
3rd rakat: Surah Fatiha
4th rakat: Surah Fatiha

Technically reciting the extra surahs during the 1st and 2nd rakat aren't required but they are sunnah. Surah Fatiha on the other hand is a requirement for every rakat.

What I am curious about is if you still recite Surah Fatiha behind the Imam. I've heard different views on it.

It also indicates that reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is mustahabb. There is scholarly consensus on this point with regard to Fajr, Jumu’ah and the first two rak’ahs of every prayer, and this is Sunnah according to all scholars. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated that some of the companions of Maalik said that reciting a second soorah is obligatory, but this is an odd view which is to be rejected.

With regard to reciting an additional soorah in the third and fourth rak’ahs, there was a difference of opinion among the scholars as to whether it is mustahabb or not. Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) regarded it as makrooh. Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah be pleased with him) regarded it as mustahabb in his new opinion but not in his old opinion; the old opinion in this case is more correct.

Sharh Muslim, 4/105, 106.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

According to the majority of scholars, reciting another soorah (after al-Faatihah) is Sunnah and is not obligatory, because it is obligatory to recite only al-Faatihah.

1st and 2nd rakat it is recommended to pray another surah after fatiha.

3rd and 4th rakat there is a difference of opinion but what is sure is that it is neither obligatory nor forbidden to recite another surah after fatiha.

These questions are better asked to your local imam, but I wanted to at least give you one site with some sources.

Allahu alam

Reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is not obligatory.

When joining a congregational prayer in the 3rd or 4th rakah, do we have to make up for the recitation of surah's other than the fatiha that the imaam read in his 1st and 2nd rakah, but we missed?

Praise be to Allaah.

1 – Reciting Qur’aan after al-Faatihah in prayer is not obligatory, either in a fard (obligatory) prayer or a naafil (supererogatory) prayer, whether the prayer is one in which Qur’aan is recited out loud or one in which it is recited silently, whether one is joining the prayer late or otherwise.

It was narrated that ‘Ata’ said: Abu Hurayrah said: In every prayer there is recitation. What we heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, we tell you, and what he did not tell us about we cannot tell you. Whoever recites Umm al-Kitaab (i.e., Soorat al-Faatihah) has done enough, and whoever does more than that, that is better.

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 738; Muslim, 396.

Al-Nawawi said:

The phrase, “Whoever recites Umm al-Kitaab (i.e., Soorat al-Faatihah) has done enough, and whoever does more than that, that is better” indicates that reciting al-Faatihah is obligatory, and that nothing else will do.

It also indicates that reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is mustahabb. There is scholarly consensus on this point with regard to Fajr, Jumu’ah and the first two rak’ahs of every prayer, and this is Sunnah according to all scholars. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated that some of the companions of Maalik said that reciting a second soorah is obligatory, but this is an odd view which is to be rejected.

With regard to reciting an additional soorah in the third and fourth rak’ahs, there was a difference of opinion among the scholars as to whether it is mustahabb or not. Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) regarded it as makrooh. Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah be pleased with him) regarded it as mustahabb in his new opinion but not in his old opinion; the old opinion in this case is more correct.

Sharh Muslim, 4/105, 106.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

According to the majority of scholars, reciting another soorah (after al-Faatihah) is Sunnah and is not obligatory, because it is obligatory to recite only al-Faatihah.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 3/103

If you stand up to complete your prayer after the imam has said the tasleem, then the correct scholarly view is that the rak’ahs in which you caught up with the imam form the first part of your prayer. See question no. 23426. If what remains of your prayer is the third and fourth rak’ahs, then you should recite al-Faatihah only; if what remains is the second and subsequent rak’ahs, then in the second you should recite al-Faatihah plus another soorah, and in the remaining rak’ahs you should recite al-Faatihah only.

It is permissible for a worshipper to recite another soorah after al-Faatihah in the third and fourth rak’ahs, but he should do that only sometimes; it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did this according to a hadeeth narrated by Muslim (452).

And Allaah knows best.

Reciting another surah after surah Al-Fatiha in the third & fourth rak’ah of an obligatory
Shafi'i Fiqh > Qibla.com
Answered by Shaykh Saad Peters al-Attas

While praying alone, can we recite a surah after surah Al-Fatiha in the third & fourth raka of an obligatory prayer? Is it our choice? OR is it a sin if we do so. What if one reads a short surah by mistake.

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
In the Name of Allah The Beneficent Most Merciful.

And may His peace and blessings be upon His beloved messenger, family and companions.

If one is praying a fard prayer alone it is not recommended in our mathhab to read a surah after fatihah in the third and fourth raka’ah, because of the hadeeth in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Nasai and Ibn Majah, which states that the prophet (Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) use to read the fatihah followed by a surah in the first two rak’as of thuhr and ‘asr, and in the second two the fatihah only. Maghrib and ‘Isha is included in this hadeeth because it has more then two rak’ats like thuhr and ‘asr.

It is not left to our choice whether suras are placed in the beginning or the end or middle, but rather the choice of the shari’ah.

If one should read a surah in the third or the fourth rak’ah intentionally it would be considered an act of offence (makruh) and if done unintentionally such as reading a surah by mistake one has not committed any act of offence. In both cases ones prayer would not be invalid.

If one is praying a sunnah prayer one is allowed to recite a surah after the fatihah in each rak’ah if one does not separate the prayer with a tashahud after each two rak’as, but rather with one at the end, such as witr. If one does the tashahud after every second rak’ah one is not allowed to do so then, based on the fard prayer.

And Allah alone knows best.

Praying Ishâ’ before midnight…but what do we mean by midnight?

Question:

When does the time for the `Ishâ prayer come to an end? Most people say that after 12 am, you have missed the time of the prayer and have to offer it with the intention of making it up? Other people say you can offer it until the time of Fajr. Which is correct? Also, most people say if you sleep before offering `Ishâ, even for even a second then you will have missed the prayer, regardless of what time you make it. Is this true?

Answered by the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî

You should offer the `Ishâ’ prayer before the night is half over. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The time for the `Ishâ’ prayer is up to the middle of the night.” [Sahîh Muslim (964)]

This is not a fixed hour like “12 o’clock AM”. It changes throughout the year just like the prayer times do. You can know when the middle of the night is by taking the time of sunset (Maghrib) and the time of dawn (Fajr) and then determining what is halfway between.

This may sometimes be before 12 midnight, and sometimes after it.

You should be careful to offer the `Ishâ’ before half the night has passed. If, for some reason, or on account of difficulty, you fail to offer the prayer before the middle of the night, then you must pray it before the time of dawn (Fajr). Even if you pray it right before dawn, it will still be on time and will not be with the intention of making up a missed prayer (qadâ’).

However, you should only postpone your Ishâ’ prayer like that when there is a real necessity or hardship, and not make it your habit.

It is essential in any case that you offer the `Ishâ’ prayer before the time of dawn. Otherwise, you will really have missed the prayer.

It is better not to sleep until after offering the `Ishâ’ prayer, because there is a danger that you might not wake up in time. However, sleeping has nothing to do with the time of the prayer. If you sleep and wake up while there is still time to pray, then you offer your prayer normally.

And Allah knows best.

Combining Zuhr and `Asr and Maghrib and `Ishâ' prayers.

Question:

There are people who advocate combining together the Zuhr and `Asr prayers and likewise the Maghrib and `Ishâ' prayers on a regular basis, without needing any particular excuse like rain or sickness. They argue that in the Qur'an, prayer is only mentioned three times in the day and night.

They also cite the hadīth related by Ibn `Abbās that the Prophet (peace be upon him) combined between the Zuhr and `Asr prayers and likewise between the Maghrib and `Ishā' prayers while he was in Madinah without there being a specific reason for doing so like fear, rain, or traveling.

Please explain your answer in light of these arguments.

Answered by Sheikh Salman al-Oadah

To begin with, the verse in question does not specify three prayers. It merely gives the broad time-frames for the observance of prayer throughout the day without specifying the actual number of prayers to be observed.

Let us look at the verse carefully. Allah says: "Establish regular prayers at the Sun's decline until the darkness of the night and the recital of the Qur'an in the morning, for the recital of dawn is witnessed." [Sūrah al-Isrā': 78].

When Allah says: "…at the Sun's decline…" it refers to the Suns descent to the West from the meridian right after midday. Allah then says: "…until the darkness of the night…". Together with the previous part of the verse: "at the sun's decline" this covesr the timeframe of four of the obligatory prayers: Zuhr, `Asr, Maghrib, and `Ishā'.

Then Allah says: "…the recital of the Qur'an in the morning…", which is a reference to the Morning (Fajr) pPrayer. The Fajr Prayer is called the recital because it is preferable to read in it many verses of the Qur'an. Therefore, this verse covers the five daily prayers.

In the Sunnah, the exact times for these five prayers are given to us in detail.

Ibn Kathīr, after mentioning this verse in his commentary on the Qur'an, says:
The Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), through his sayings and his actions, provides us with the exact times of these prayers as known and applied by Muslims today. This has been passed down from one generation to the next, century after century."

It is a well-known principle in Islam that the Sunnah explains the Qur'an. Allah says to His Prophet: "We have revealed to you the Reminder that you may make clear to people what has been revealed to them, and that haply they may reflect." [Sūrah al-Nahl: 44]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray each of the five prayers on time. In certain extenuating circumstances, he would combine prayers, but it was not his regular habit to do so.

There is a hadîth related from Ibn `Abbas related in Sahīh Muslim that the Messenger of Allah prayed the Zuhr and Asr prayers together, and also the Maghrib and `Ishā' prayers, although he was neither in a state of fear nor on a journey. In another narration, the absence of rain is mentioned instead of a journey.

The majority of scholars believe that combining between these prayers is unlawful except for one of the valid reasons that are explicitly stated in the sacred texts. They argue that there is clear textual evidence that the times for prayers are fixed. Therefore, no exceptions should be made without specific evidence detailing those exceptions. To support this, they cite the overwhelming evidence that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed his prayers at their proper times. The hadith of Ibn `Abbās does not give every possible legitimate reason for combining prayer. For instance, sickness is a valid reason for combining prayers that is not mentioned in the hadīth.

Nevertheless, there were a few scholars such as Ibn Sīrīn, Ibn Shubrumah, the Mālikī jurist Ashhab, and the Shāfi`ī jurist Ibn al-Mundhir, who said that combining these prayers together is permissible as long as there is some valid need to do so, and that it is not restricted to a set number of things, but that a person should not make a habit out of combining prayers.

I agree with this opinion. It is permissible to combine the Zuhr and `Asr prayers together in case of any valid need, and likewise the Maghrib and `Ishā’ prayers, but this should not be taken as a habit.

This is the opinion of Ibn Taymiyah, who said:

Ibn `Abbās was not traveling nor was there any rain, but he mentioned this narration as a justification for combining his prayers. He knew that there was no rain, but Ibn `Abbās was involved in something important for the Muslims as he was teaching the people what they needed to know about their religion and he believed that if he stopped at that time and came down from the pulpit, the opportunity would be lost. He deemed that the activity he was engaged in permitted him to combine prayers as the Prophet (peace be upon him) combined prayers in Madinah without there being fear or rain but for some other necessity…

All the hadīth about combining prayer indicate that the Prophet combined prayers to make things easy for his people. Therefore, combining prayers is permissible if there would otherwise be some hardship that Allah had sought to spare the believers. Combining prayers due to debilitating illness is all the more permissible. The same applies to those who cannot maintain a state of ritual purity for two prayers, like the woman whose bleeding continues past her menstrual cycle. At the same time, we have a saying from `Umar b. al-Khattāb that combining of two prayers without an excuse is one the grievous sins." [Ibn Taymiyah, Majmū` al-Fatāwā]

In conclusion, it is permissible to combine between prayers for any valid reason where there would otherwise be considerable hardship for the worshipper. However, the practice of combining between prayers should not be taken as a habit. Whoever makes it their regular practice to combine their prayers without a valid reason has violated the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and gone against his guidance.

And Allah knows best.

Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)'s Last Sermon to Mankind

This sermon was delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca).

After praising, and thanking Allah he said:

"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib (Prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived…

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness.

Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.

All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one

brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people".

The Big Bang in Quran

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe"? -- Surat Al-'Anbyā' 21:30

The signs of Allah for those who understand.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those who understand". Surat 'Āli `Imrān (3:190)

"Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory be to Thee; save us then from the doom of Fire". Surat 'Āli `Imrān (3:191)

"Be", and it is!

"Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "Be", and it is! (Holy Quran
36:82)

Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies.

Those who collect wealth wrongfully through bribes, kickbacks and cheating and eat Harram, they do but swallow #‎FIRE into their bellies.

"Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame". Al-Quran (4:10).

And eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them

And when the trumpet is blown with one blast.
And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash.
On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy.
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.

Sūrat l-ḥāqah (69:13-17)

Greed and selfishness leads to hell fire.

Greed and selfishness have blinded us so much that we are blindly following our Lust and Desires and SATAN to outnumber each other in sin, corruption and transgression without thinking that we are here on earth for a short period of time , temporarily, like a traveler and that one day we will die and will return to our Lord and He will take us to task for what we did.

Time to reflect, repent, and amend. May Allah (swt) guide us to the right path.

"And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)". Al-Quran sūrat l-zumar Verse (39:67)

The Holy Qur'an is the Biggest living proof of His existence. He says in the Qur'an;

Those who do not believe in God, can they please tell us how this complex Universe and most importantly their own human body, a complex biological machine, in which billions of atoms and molecules interact with each so perfectly in harmony, came to existence without a creator, designer, fashioner and a sustainer???

The answer lies in the following beautiful verses of the Holy Qur'an, which are to me sufficient proofs of that creator whom we call Allah (swt) or God, who created all of this.

Who is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) ?

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is NOT a part of His creation or like anything in the Universe that we can see or comprehend with our 5 limited senses. He is beyond the Comprehension and understanding of our knowledge and understanding. He says it in the Qur'an;

لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ
No Vision can grasp Him but His grasp is over (all) visions. He is the Subtile, the Aware. Al-Quran (6:103)

هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. Al-Quran (57:3)

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
There is nothing like Him (in the entire Universe). He is All-hearing and All-aware. Al-Quran (42:11)

قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ {1}

اللهُ الصَّمَدُ {2}

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ {3}

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ {4}
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
SURAH AL-IKHLAS (112)

Many atheists are curious about God’s existence and ask questions like why can’t they see God plainly or who is the creator of God etc..

There is nothing wrong being curious about God and his Creation. Prophet Ibrahim and Moses were also Curious too and prophet Moses even asked Allah (swt) to show Himself plainly, when God spoke with him directly in the valley of Tuwa, an honor no any other Prophet has received. But Allah said to Moses, you can not see me O Moses, but gaze upon this mountain and if it stand still in its place then you will see Me and when Allah (swt) revealed Himself to the mountain He sent it down crashing and Moses fell down unconscious. And when he woke he said: Glory be unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first one to believe, that You exists (without any doubt).

For those who want to know why we as human can not see Allah (God) plainly, I ask them to Please watch this Video on Youtube in which Dr. Yasir Qadhi explains in the end why we can not see Allah (swt) Plainly, because, the powerful radiant rays that comes out from His Magnificent Majestic face are so strong and powerful that they will destroy everything that comes in its path and that’s why, the creation can not bear to see Allah (swt) plainly in this world. Our eyes is not strong and capable to see the brightness of the sun, a star of our solar system, for even a minute, leave alone to see Allah (swt) plainly.

The atheist’s question regarding the logical proof of God’s existence, I would say to them, Please check out the Qur’an. The Qur’an is full of all kind of logical, mathematical and scientific proofs and signs of God’s existence and if someone can not be convinced, after carefully reading and examining the 114 Surahs of the Qur’an, then to me, nothing can ever will convince him or make him to believe in God.

“Then in what fact after the Qur’an will they believe? Sarah Al-Mursalat (77:50)

https://archive.org/details/001AlFaatiha_20140310

Do they think, the Holy Qur’an, which describes many scientific and mathematical fact so precisely, including the big bang theory, human embryology, the reflection of moon light and their floating in an orbit etc., which were not known at that time of Prophet (PBUH) and were only discovered recently in our time after extensive scientific and medical research, was produced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a person who never went to any school, college or university???

Qur’an is the only book in the world that is memorized word by word precisely by millions Muslims without making any mistake. No any other book in the history of mankind has been memorized so extensively and so precisely, and that is a great miracle of Qur’an.

The biggest problems with the atheists is that they reject Allah (God) without thoroughly studying and examining His book, the Quran, which is a huge challenge to all those who don’t believe in God. Here are some example of such challenges, logical points and proofs of the Quran to ponder upon.

The Holy Qur’an - A master piece of knowledge and wisdom.

“Say: If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another." Al-Qur’an (17:88)

(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect”. Al-Qur’an (38:29)

“These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His portents, will they believe?”. Al-Qur’an, sūrat l-jāthiyah, Verse (45:6)

“Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognize (this Qur’an) as they recognize their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly conceal the truth”. Al-Qur’an, sūrat l-baqarah Verse (2:146)

Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); Not in sin and transgression, (aggression and oppression).

"O you who believe! Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression, (aggression and oppression). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment". Al-Maeda (5:2)

Smile :) , Say Asslam-o-Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu (instead of Good Morning) And Say, JazakAllah (instead of Thank you).

When Prophet Moses said, 'My Lord, show Thyself to me that I may look at Thee.' ALLAH replied, 'Thou shalt not see ME.

"And when Moses came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, 'My Lord, show Thyself to me that I may look at Thee.' ALLAH replied, 'Thou shalt not see ME. But look at the mountain; and if it remains in its place, then thou shalt see ME.' And when his Lord manifested Himself on the mountain, HE broke it into pieces and Moses fell down unconscious. And when he recovered, he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first to believe". (7:143)

Atheists are lost.

“He (Moses) said: In truth thou knowest that none sent down these (portents) save the Lord of the heavens and the earth as proofs, and lo! (for my part) I deem thee lost, O Pharaoh”. Al-Quran (17:102)

The answer lies in the following beautiful verses of the Holy Qur'an, which are to me sufficient proofs of that creator whom we call Allah (swt) or God, who created all of this.

Who is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) ?

لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ

No Vision can grasp Him but His grasp is over (all) visions. He is the Subtile, the Aware. Al-Quran (6:103)

هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. Al-Quran (57:3)

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ

There is nothing like Him (in the entire Universe). He is All-hearing and All-aware. Al-Quran (42:11)

قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ {1}

اللهُ الصَّمَدُ {2}

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ {3}

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ {4}

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

And there is none like unto Him.
