Surah Al Qasas: Chapter 2
Pharaoh divided the people of Egypt into two groups.
The two groups were:
-Bani Israel - who shifted to Egypt through Yusuf AS
-Qibti - The locals of Egypt
Although they were living in same land, Pharaoh had created a division.
He would oppress Bani Israel. He made them the lowest class and tortured them to the point that he would slaughter their sons and keep the women alive and no one from the other group stood up to defend them.
Because of the division. Firaun had done a good job of separating them, creating animosity between them.
This was very important for Firaun because if people start seeing themselves as one, then they may unify, and if they unify, then he may lose control over them. If you can keep people apart, if you can keep people divided, then you can pick them off easily. If people are united, you can't touch them. The easiest way to do that is to create a class society.
So, Pharaoh had a plan. He wanted to destroy, oppress, and control Bani Israel.
But Allah had a different plan. Allah wanted to make those oppressed people leaders and inheritors of the land as mentioned in Surah al Qasas.
Whose plan worked out at the end? Allah's plan!
Oppression and injustice cannot exist forever. Allah does not like fasaad. He allows it to happen, He let's the oppressors do whatever they want to only for some time.
Eventually what happens? Allah intervenes and seizes the oppressor.
We have studied again and again that any person who reached the height of power, eventually he was brought down.
Prophet SAW said, Fear the prayer of the oppressed, for indeed it is carried on clouds. Allah says by my honor and glory, I will surely help you even if it is after a time.
THIS IS WHY WE MUST NEVER LOSE HOPE.
There seemed to be no escape for Bani Israel, but weren't they saved? Yes.
Allah was telling this story to the Prophet (pbuh) when the Quraysh were oppressing him and every Muslim in Makkah. It sent a message that your pharaoh, the Quraysh, will be brought down very soon. Through the Prophet (pbuh), this story tells us that today's pharaoh 🇮🇱 will also be brought down very soon, and the oppressed people 🇵🇸 will be free. In the end, it is Allah's plan that wins.

"Allah is The One Who turns dust into beauty and beauty into dust."
— Muslim Smiles
The above quote is a reference to the idea that Allah swt has the power to transform and shape the world in ways that may seem miraculous or unexpected. It suggests that Allah swt can take something as seemingly insignificant or mundane as dust, and transform it into something beautiful and meaningful. At the same time, Allah swt can also take something that is beautiful and valuable, and reduce it to dust, or nothingness. This quote may be interpreted in a few different ways. On one hand, it could be seen as a reminder of the impermanence of things, and the idea that even the most beautiful things in life are temporary and subject to change. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a celebration of the transformative power of Allah swt and the idea that even the most ordinary or insignificant things can be made into something special and meaningful.
Ultimately, the quote encourages us to have faith in Allah swt and to trust in His plans and designs for the world. It reminds us that even when things seem difficult or uncertain, there is always the possibility of beauty and transformation, if we have the faith and patience to see it through.

Ibrahim AS - Chapter 2
Allah blessed Sarah with beauty, Imaan, a loving husband who was a prophet of Allah, but He did not give her a child. So, when Sarah saw Hajrah’s child, her heart started to ache.
Whether it was envy or jealousy, we have to understand that Sarah is a human, not a robot. She was so upset that she told Ibrahim AS to take the child away from there. She said, "If I kept looking at him, maybe I would kill him.
When you read about this incident, your heart suddenly becomes heavy. You expect perfection from pious people, and you don't expect human emotions from them. This is what we need to learn here: that prophets were also human beings, and their wives were too. They were not robots. They walked on the straight path of Allah with their emotions and desires, and so can we.
Therefore, everything you desire, and it looks very easy for someone else to find it in front of your eyes, while you beg Allah for it, seeing it will hurt you. There will also be jealousy. And the heart will break. These are your human emotions. Face them. Don't hide them under the carpet.
Sarah was a brave woman. She did not conspire against Hajrah’s son. She did not say bad things. She communicated her emotions to the person who could take a step. She went to Ibrahim AS and told him everything.
But what do we do when we have a problem with someone? We go to every X, Y, Z and vent out, take out our heart's frustration, and avoid that one person we have a problem with. Only one person whom we don't say anything to is the person who is the problem for us. We gossip because we are cowards. We are afraid to communicate our heartfelt emotions to that person. Sarah was brave. She said what she felt.
So, know that Allah understands your heartfelt emotions. If you think about this story, then Sarah said a huge thing (that she can take this child's life). Obviously, she wasn't going to take a life. She was expressing the intensity of her emotions because she didn't have any children of her own. How could another child in the house feel good? So, Sarah spoke out.
And who did Allah give support to?
Allah gave support to Sarah.
What would you do if you were there? If you see a woman in a similar situation, you might console her. You might say she should have a big heart, etc. But Allah understands humans like no one else can. Allah did not tell Ibrahim to ask his wife to have a big heart. Why?
“Because Allah knows we should never burden those with harsh words who are already wounded.”
Allah had tested Sarah by not giving her children. If Allah does not understand His servant's distress, then who will understand? So Allah commanded Ibrahim to take Hajrah and Ismail and leave from there and go to Makkah.
Allah is aware of our distress. He is the one who created us. He is the one with whose permission we get afflicted with pain. If He doesn't know our emotions, then who will? So don't think that Allah expects perfection from you when you receive trouble, and he expects you to smile and say, 'I'm fine.' Nooo!
Like Yaqoob AS, tell Allah, complain about your sorrow and pain to Him. Tell Him who you're complaining about. He understands whoever He gives trouble to. He who could understand Sarah's emotions when perhaps no other human could, why wouldn't He understand yours?
The troubles that come from Allah are also taken away by Allah, and the cure for the troubles caused by humans is also with our Lord. Why do we think He won't understand us?

HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM
You shall never understand Islam as a religion unless you read the accusations raised against it by non-Muslims, and then read the responses given by Muslim scholars to those accusations. I believe you will never be a true Muslim before you do that, use your common sense and come to a solid understanding of Islamic law; thereafter, you can decide for yourself whether to adhere to Islam or continue searching for the worthiest religion of your faith. This is what my book and my blog are all about. I hope you find amidst its posts what helps you in this endeavour.

The previous posts are just samples of what you can find on my free blog and inside the book (a free pdf version is available on the blog). I hope you would be interested in reading and learning instead of following others' opinions or stereotyping those who are different.
