Read Alfurqan | اقرأ الفرقان
A space for Islamic duaa and spiritual reflection, rooted in the Qur’an and inspired by the stories of the Prophets, the Names of Allah, and the struggles carried quietly within the human heart.
These recordings are for quiet nights, heavy hearts, restless minds, moments of gratitude, questions without easy answers, and those times when you simply need to turn back to Allah.
Through duaa, Qur’an recitation, reflection, and storytelling, Read Alfurqan explores our relationship with our Creator — His mercy, our weakness, our mistakes, our hopes, and the long journey back to Him.
Whether you come seeking peace, forgiveness, meaning, or simply a few moments alone with Allah, you are welcome here.

[Spanish] Entregando Mi Alma a Alá Esta Noche | Duá Islámica para Dormir Profundamente Bonus
Show notes
Hay noches en las que el cuerpo está cansado, pero la mente todavía no sabe cómo descansar.
Esta duá islámica para dormir es un momento de tranquilidad con Alá. Una invitación a dejar atrás el ruido del día, soltar las preocupaciones de mañana y poner nuevamente el corazón en las manos de Aquel que lo creó.
A lo largo de esta oración reflexionamos sobre la misericordia y el perdón de Alá, el miedo al futuro, el arrepentimiento, la fragilidad de esta vida, la inmensidad de los siete cielos y el misterio del alma mientras dormimos.
Recordamos también que Alá escucha incluso las palabras que no sabemos expresar, conoce aquello que tememos perder y ve las lágrimas que nunca llegaron a nuestros ojos. La oración nos conduce lentamente desde la inquietud hacia la confianza, desde el miedo hacia la entrega y desde el cansancio hacia el recuerdo de nuestro Creador. Sleep Duaa Text Spanish
También contempla el regreso del alma a Alá, el testimonio anterior a esta vida, la grandeza de Su creación y la esperanza de encontrarnos finalmente bajo Su misericordia.
Escúchala al acostarte, cuando tu mente no deja de pensar, cuando el futuro te preocupa, cuando necesitas volver a Alá o simplemente cuando deseas terminar el día recordándolo.
Cierra los ojos.
Respira lentamente.
Deja que el día termine.
Y entrega tu alma a Alá esta noche.

May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

The Story of Humanity — Cinematic Edition | Life, Death & What Comes After
Episode 118
Show notes
What if you could step outside your life for a moment… and watch the entire human story unfold around you?
The Story of Humanity — Cinematic Edition is a newly rebuilt and expanded production of the original Story of Humanity.
The journey remains at its heart the same—but the experience has been completely reimagined.
This edition combines newly refined narration with custom wordless humming, immersive ambience, cinematic transitions, and carefully placed sound design that changes as the journey moves through time.
You begin beyond the world you know.
Beyond your birth.
Beyond your ancestors.
Beyond humanity itself.You travel backward until even the stars disappear… until there is only stillness.
And from there, the story begins.
You witness humanity through Adam and the generations that follow. You travel through the stories of the prophets—through Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Mary, Jesus, and Muhammad—and encounter the Qur’an. The episode itself follows revelation through Muhammad and beyond.
But eventually, history reaches someone much closer.
You.
Your birth.
Your childhood.
The people who entered your life.
The doors that closed.
The moments that changed you before you understood what they meant.And then the journey moves somewhere none of us has yet been allowed to see.
Your final day.
Your final breath.
The grave.
The Trumpet.
Humanity rising again.
The accounting of a lifetime.
Mercy.
And what comes after.
This is not a lecture.
It is an immersive guided spiritual journey—created to place you inside the story rather than simply tell it to you.
For this Cinematic Edition, the soundscape has been rebuilt around the narration: custom wordless vocal humming, environmental ambience, transitions through time, and individual sonic moments woven into scenes throughout the journey.
Some moments are intentionally quiet.
Some are meant to feel vast.
Some are meant to make you forget, briefly, that you are only listening.
You do not have to be Muslim to experience this journey.
Find somewhere quiet.
Put on headphones if you can.
Close your eyes.
And listen.
Perhaps by the end, the story of humanity will feel a little less like the story of everyone who came before you…
and a little more like your story.

[Portuguese] 🇧🇷 Entregando Minha Alma a Allah Nesta Noite | Duá Islâmica para Dormir Profundamente Bonus
Show notes
Quando a noite chega e o mundo finalmente silencia, ainda pode ser difícil fazer o coração descansar.
Esta duá islâmica para dormir é um momento de tranquilidade com Allah — uma oportunidade para deixar para trás as preocupações do dia, entregar o futuro ao seu Criador e permitir que a mente desacelere antes do sono.
Ao longo desta oração, refletimos sobre a misericórdia e o perdão de Allah, o medo do futuro, o arrependimento, a imensidão dos sete céus, os anjos que O glorificam, a brevidade desta vida e o momento em que nossa alma retorna às mãos de seu Criador durante o sono.
Também recordamos uma bela imagem ensinada pelo Profeta Muhammad: a alegria de um homem perdido no deserto que, depois de perder toda esperança, encontra novamente sua montaria, sua água e sua sobrevivência — uma imagem da imensa alegria pelo retorno de um servo a Allah.
Esta oração é para muçulmanos, mas também para qualquer pessoa que creia em Deus, esteja buscando por Ele ou simplesmente precise de paz nesta noite.
Você não precisa chegar aqui perfeito.
Não precisa ter todas as respostas.
Apenas descanse.Feche os olhos.
Deixe seus pensamentos desacelerarem.
E entregue sua alma a Allah nesta noite.Que Allah envolva você em Sua misericórdia, proteja aqueles que você ama, alivie aquilo que pesa em seu coração e permita que você desperte em paz, mais leve e mais próximo Dele.
May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

Before I Had a Name, Allah Knew Me | A Deep Islamic Duaa of Gratitude
Episode 7
Show notes
Before I had a name, Allah knew me. Before I had a voice, He heard me. Before I knew how to ask, He had already begun to provide for me.
This is a deeply reflective English Islamic duaa about the life we were given but never earned.
A prayer for those moments when we finally stop and realize how much had to happen for us simply to be here.
We journey back to before our existence, through the miracle of creation and the womb, childhood, health, food, water, family, safety, freedom, guidance, and the countless forms of protection we may never even know about.
We remember those who were given less time than us, those living without the safety and freedom we often take for granted, and the generations who lived before the guidance and opportunities available to us today.
We remember Adam and Musa, Yusuf in the well, Yunus in the darkness, and the prophets who taught humanity that what we see is only a small part of what Allah knows.
And eventually, gratitude becomes a harder question:
O Allah… after everything You have given me… what have I done with the life You gave me?
This is not a lecture.
It is a private conversation with Allah.
A prayer of gratitude, repentance, wonder, surrender, and return.
Listen somewhere quiet. Slow down. Close your eyes if you can. And remember how much of your life was already being cared for before you ever knew how to ask.
May Allah accept it from me and from you.
Peace and abundant blessings be upon Muhammad, upon his pure family, upon all of Allah’s prophets and messengers from Adam to Muhammad, and upon every righteous servant who devoted their life to Him.
May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

Returning My Soul to Allah Tonight | An Islamic English Sleep Duaa for Deep Sleep & Surrender
Episode 6
Show notes
There are nights when the body is exhausted, yet the heart refuses to rest. The mind wanders through fears, regrets, unanswered prayers, and worries about tomorrow. Sleep feels close, but peace feels far away.
This guided Islamic sleep duaa is an invitation to lay every burden before Allah. Inspired by the Qur'an, authentic Islamic supplications, and the timeless tradition of nighttime worship, it gently leads the heart away from anxiety and back toward trust, mercy, and surrender.
As you listen, may you remember that Allah knows every fear you carry, every tear you have hidden, every prayer you have whispered, and every hope you have almost given up on. His mercy is greater than your mistakes, His love is greater than your loneliness, and His protection never leaves those who return to Him.
This recording contains no music or musical instruments. The soundscape is intentionally simple, consisting only of gentle human humming together with natural sounds such as rain, wind, and ocean waves, creating a peaceful atmosphere that allows the focus to remain on the remembrance of Allah.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, guilt, uncertainty, insomnia, or simply longing to feel closer to Allah before sleep, I pray this duaa becomes a peaceful companion in your nights and a reminder that you never sleep outside the care of your Lord.
May Allah grant you a tranquil heart, peaceful sleep, protection throughout the night, forgiveness for your shortcomings, beautiful dreams, and the blessing of waking with renewed faith, gratitude, and hope.
🎧 For the most immersive experience, listen with headphones at a comfortable volume.
This is an original English duaa by Read Alfurqan, created for anyone seeking peace, comfort, and closeness to Allah before sleep through the remembrance of Allah.
"And He is with you wherever you are." (Qur'an 57:4)
I actually think that sentence—"This recording contains no music or musical instruments..."—will answer a question many practicing Muslims have before they even ask it, while remaining accurate and avoiding unnecessary debate.
May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

[Arabic] While the World Moves On… | ... وبينما يمضي العالم
Episode 5
Show notes
This is a raw and emotional duaa for those the world moved on from.
For the oppressed.
For the imprisoned.
For the forgotten.
For the families waiting outside the walls.
For the mothers, wives, fathers, and children carrying a pain most people will never see.This recording remembers the loneliness of Yusuf عليه السلام in the darkness of prison, the call of Yunus عليه السلام in the depths of darkness, the fire of Ibrahim عليه السلام when Allah made it cool and safe, and the grief of Yaqub عليه السلام as he waited with a heart full of sorrow and hope.
It is a duaa for them.
And it is also a duaa for us.For our numbness.
For our silence.
For our comfort.
For the moments when we hear the pain, feel something, and then return to the world as if nothing happened.Less edited. More raw. A prayer from a wounded heart.
May Allah give relief to the oppressed, freedom to the imprisoned, patience to their families, and life again to hearts that have grown used to pain.
Arabic description
هذا دعاء خام، مؤلم، وصادق…
دعاء للمظلومين…
وللأسرى…
وللمنسيين…
وللعائلات التي تنتظر خلف الجدران…
وللأمهات، والزوجات، والآباء، والأبناء، الذين يحملون وجعًا لا يراه أكثر الناس.في هذا الدعاء نستحضر وحدة يوسف عليه السلام في ظلمة السجن، ونداء يونس عليه السلام في بطن الظلمات، ونار إبراهيم عليه السلام حين جعلها الله بردًا وسلامًا، وحزن يعقوب عليه السلام وهو ينتظر بقلب مكسور ورجاء لا ينطفئ.
هو دعاء لهم…
ودعاء لنا أيضًا.لغفلتنا…
ولصمتنا…
ولراحة قلوبنا…
ولكل مرة سمعنا فيها الألم، وتأثرنا لحظة، ثم مضينا كأن شيئًا لم يكن.تسجيل أقل تهذيبًا… وأكثر صدقًا.
دعاء من قلب موجوع.اللهم فرّج عن المظلومين، وفك أسر المأسورين، وثبّت قلوب أهلهم، وأحيِ فينا رحمة لا تنطفئ.
May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

[Arabic] دنیا آگے بڑھ گئی… مگر وہ اب بھی قید میں ہیں | दुनिया आगे बढ़ गई… मगर वे अब भी क़ैद में हैं
Episode 4
Show notes
ایک ایسی دعا جو خوبصورت الفاظ سے زیادہ ایک ٹوٹے ہوئے دل کی آواز ہے۔
یہ ریکارڈنگ ان مسلمان بھائیوں کے لیے ہے جو قید، ظلم، جدائی اور خاموشی میں آزمائے جا رہے ہیں۔ ان ماؤں کے لیے جو ہر آواز کو خبر سمجھتی ہیں۔ ان بیویوں کے لیے جن کے گھروں میں ایک جگہ خالی رہ گئی ہے۔ ان باپوں کے لیے جو اپنے آنسو چھپا کر گھر کو سنبھالتے ہیں۔ اور ان بچوں کے لیے جو ظلم کو نہیں سمجھتے، مگر فراق کو محسوس کرتے ہیں۔
اس دعا میں یوسف علیہ السلام کی تنہائی، یونس علیہ السلام کی تاریکیاں، ابراہیم علیہ السلام کی آگ، موسیٰ علیہ السلام کی واپسی، اور یعقوب علیہ السلام کا انتظار یاد کیا گیا ہے۔
یہ دعا مظلوموں کے لیے ہے…
اور ہمارے اپنے دلوں کے لیے بھی۔
یا اللہ، ہمارے بھائیوں کو ثابت رکھ۔
ان کے دلوں کو جبر دے۔
ان کے گھروں کو دوبارہ روشنی دے۔
اور ہمیں ان لوگوں میں نہ بنا جو سنتے ہیں، روتے ہیں، پھر بھول جاتے ہیں۔
यह दुआ सुंदर शब्दों से ज़्यादा एक टूटे हुए दिल की आवाज़ है।
यह रिकॉर्डिंग उन मुस्लिम भाइयों के लिए है जो क़ैद, ज़ुल्म, जुदाई और ख़ामोशी में आज़माए जा रहे हैं। उन माँओं के लिए जो हर दस्तक को ख़बर समझती हैं। उन पत्नियों के लिए जिनके घरों में एक जगह खाली रह गई है। उन पिताओं के लिए जो अपने आँसू छुपाकर घर को संभालते हैं। और उन बच्चों के लिए जो ज़ुल्म को नहीं समझते, मगर जुदाई को महसूस करते हैं।
इस दुआ में यूसुफ़ عليه السلام की तन्हाई, यूनुस عليه السلام की अंधेरियाँ, इब्राहीम عليه السلام की आग, मूसा عليه السلام की वापसी, और याक़ूब عليه السلام का इंतज़ार याद किया गया है।
यह दुआ मज़लूमों के लिए है…
और हमारे अपने दिलों के लिए भी।
या अल्लाह, हमारे भाइयों को साबित रख।
उनके दिलों को जोड़ दे।
उनके घरों को फिर से रोशनी दे।
और हमें उन लोगों में न बना जो सुनते हैं, रोते हैं, फिर भूल जाते हैं।
May Allah bring light to every heart carrying hidden pain, grief, fear, loneliness, guilt, or hardship.
Please remember in your duaa the oppressed, the imprisoned, the displaced, the forgotten, and those separated from the people they love.
May Allah be their Help when they have no help, their Strength when they have no strength, and their Companion when they feel alone. May He mend what has been broken, ease what has become unbearable, and never leave them to anyone but Him.

45. Surah al-Jathiyah | سورة الجاثية
Episode 45
Show notes
This chapter was revealed in Mecca; and all Meccan chapters discuss or describe the fundamentals of faith. Its title comes from verse 28 in which the kneeling of all people on the Day of Judgment is described. This 37 verses chapter address some of the arguments put forward by those who are skeptical about the truthfulness of the Quran. Emphasis is placed on God’s signs in the universe and on the painful punishment that will be the fate of those who refuse to believe. The arrogance of the disbelievers is compared to the Greatness of God.
Verses 1 – 6 Signs of God’s power
Chapters 40 to 46 of the Quran begin with the Arabic letters Ha and Mim. The use of these Arabic letters at the beginning of a chapter is a narrative device used in a total of 28 chapters of the Quran. The reason for this is the subject of much scholarly debate, however, the precise answer is known only to God. Following these letters, something about the Quran is usually revealed. In this chapter, we are told that this book, the Quran, is revealed by God.
Those who believe, see the signs that point to this in the heavens and on the earth. The creation of the human being and all other creatures is also a sign of God Almighty’s power for those with certain faith. The alternation of day and night, the rain that falls at God’s command reviving a previously dry barren earth, and winds blowing at God’s discretion are signs for those who can use their power of reasoning. These are the true verses from God recited to Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. If they do not believe in these revelations what will they believe in?
Verses 7 – 17 Be grateful for God’s gifts to humankind
God promises anguish to the lying, sinful people who hear His words recited yet persist in arrogance as if they did not hear anything. These people ridicule God’s verses, and for doing so, they will receive a humiliating punishment. Hell is before them, and what they did of good in this world will not help them at all, nor will the things they set up as partners with God. Their punishment will be great. This Quran, this revelation, is guidance, and those who reject will face nothing but a painful torment.
It is God who controls the seas, and your ships sail on them by His command, in order that you can seek His bounty and give Him thanks. Everything in the heavens and the earth is at your disposal; they are for humankind’s benefit—it is a gift from God. Should you not be grateful? This too is a sign for those who think and reflect.
Prophet Muhammad, tell the believers that they should forgive those who do not believe or expect God’s days of retribution. God Himself will recompense them for how they behaved in the world, according to what they earned. Whoever behaves well does so for his own benefit, and whoever does evil harms only himself. And then, all will be returned to Him.
The Children of Israel were given scripture, wisdom, and prophethood. They were provided with all kinds of good things; God even preferred them over others. They were given clear proof about matters of religion. After knowledge came to them, they differed amongst themselves and became rivals. On the Day of Judgement, God will judge between them.
Verses 18 – 26 Is good equal to evil?
Prophet Muhammad is told that he has been set on a clear path. He must follow it and not be distracted by those who have no knowledge, and they cannot help him in any way. The wrongdoers have only each other, the believers however, are under God’s protection. This revelation is insight for many, and it is a source of guidance and mercy for the believers.
Do those who commit evil really think that God will deal with them in the same way that He deals with the righteous? Do they imagine that their living and dying will be the same? It is evil to assume this. God created the heavens and the earth for a purpose; to reward each person according to their deeds. Have you seen the person who takes his own desires as a god? God allows him to stray even when he is surrounded by knowledge. His ears and heart are sealed, and his eyes are covered. Where could he find guidance after God has done this? What more do you need to take heed?
They say that there is nothing but the life in this world, but how do they know that? It is only a guess they have no real knowledge. When God’s revelations are recited to them, they ask for their forefathers to be returned to them. Prophet Muhammad should answer their request by saying that it is God who gives life and causes death. He will then gather everyone on the Day of Judgment. That is a day of which there is no doubt, but most people do not understand this.
Verses 27 – 37 Kneeling before God
Control of everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to God, and when the fateful Hour comes, those who follow falsehood will lose. Every community will be seen kneeling (before God), and every community will be summoned and handed their record, because everything has been recorded. Those who believed and were righteous will be admitted into God’s Mercy. This is a clear triumph.
Those who disbelieved will be asked why they ignored the revelations. They are reminded that when God’s promise was explained to them, they replied that they knew nothing of the Hour and considered it conjecture. The evil of those actions will then become apparent to them when the punishment they mocked engulfs them. God will ignore them on that Day just as they ignored Him. Because they ridiculed God’s revelations, the Fire will become their home. They will never leave, and making amends is not an option.
Praise be to God, the true Lord of the heavens, the earth, and all the worlds. All Greatness belongs to Him, and He alone is All-Mighty and All-Wise.

44. Surah al-Dukhan | سورة الدخان
Episode 44
Show notes
This chapter was revealed in Mecca; and all Meccan chapters discuss or describe the fundamentals of faith. The title, The Smoke, is derived from verse ten in which a smoke-filled day is depicted. The majority of scholars believe that this refers to a sign of the Day of Judgment. Its fifty-nine verses highlight the mercy of the Quran and address the stubbornness of the powerful and wealthy oppressors among the Meccan elite. It compares them to the people of Pharaoh and the people of Tubba. We are told that the righteous will enjoy the bliss of Paradise while the oppressors, and those who considered themselves mighty in this world, will find torment waiting for them in Hell.
Verses 1 – 16 God warns us about the smoke
Chapters 40 to 46 of the Quran begin with the Arabic letters Ha and Mim. The placement of Arabic letters at the beginning of a chapter is a narrative device used in a total of 28 chapters of the Quran. The reason for this is the subject of much scholarly debate, yet the precise answer is known only to God. When we read these letters, we usually find that something about the Quran is mentioned directly after them.
God tells us that the Quran is a scripture that makes things clear. God sent the Quran down to humankind on a blessed night, the Night of Decree, that occurs in the last part of the month of Ramadan. This is the night in which God uses His Wisdom and Knowledge to decide every matter. God has always sent messages, and this Quran is another message.
God hears and knows everything. He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, therefore pay attention to this if you consider yourself to be a true believer. There is no deity but He, the One who controls life and death. He is your Lord and the Lord of all your ancestors. Some people are in doubt and amuse themselves, but they should be watchful for the day that is filled with smoke.
The smoke will envelop the people causing them to cry out that it is a terrible torment. Then they will beg their Lord to remove the punishment at the same time declaring their belief. How will this sudden faith help them? They were sent a prophet, but they belied him and called him mad. God will hold back the torment, but indeed the disbelievers will slip back into disbelief. The Day will come when they will be seized and assaulted. God will then exact retribution.
Verses 17 – 33 The people of Moses
God explains that the people of Pharaoh were also tested. He sent the messenger Moses to them. Moses asked that the believers be set free from bondage. He also explained that he was a trustworthy messenger from God. He asked the people of Pharaoh not to be haughty then sought refuge with God from any harm they might cause him. They became aggressive even though Moses asked them to leave him alone, so he supplicated to God requesting that he be rescued from the people of Pharaoh, who were indeed criminals and evildoers.
God answered his supplication and advised Moses to organize the Children of Israel and enable them to slip away from their tormentors under the cover of night. They were pursued, however, the Red Sea parted for them. When Pharaoh’s people entered the divided sea, it closed over them, and they drowned. Nothing in the heavens or the earth wept for them. The people of Pharaoh left behind gardens and springs, cornfields and buildings, and many other things that delighted them. God ordained that it all be inherited by another people. The Children of Israel were chosen above all others, even though God was aware of their weaknesses, and they were given revelations that contained clear tests.
Verses 34 – 42 The people of Tubba
The elite of Mecca said that they would not be resurrected after death and asked that God return their forefathers if the resurrection was in fact true. God responds by asking if they imagined that they were better than the people of Tubba and those before them? (Tubba was an honorific title used by the kings of Yemen for several generations.) The disbelievers of Makkah have not been able to attain the prosperity and splendor that these people attained, yet because of their moral degeneration they were destroyed, and their worldly splendor could not save them. God was not playing a pointless game when He created the heavens and the earth. They were created for a purpose, but most people fail to understand this. The Day of Judgment is the appointed time for them all. It is a day when relations and friends cannot help one another. The only ones helped will be those to whom God shows Mercy.
Verses 43 – 59 Contrasting Paradise and Hell
The food for the sinners will be from the tree of Zaqqum. It is like murky oil that churns inside their bellies, like the boiling of hot water. One will be seized and dragged into the middle of the Hellfire, where scalding water will be poured over his head. Here he will be taunted and told that this is all the honor he gets in the Afterlife because he claimed that he was honored upon the earth.
This is the place they argued about; however, in contrast, the righteous will be in a secure place surrounded by gardens and springs. They will be wearing fine silk and brocade garments and have spouses with large beautiful eyes. They will be secure and content, requesting all kinds of fruit. They will only suffer one death and will be eternally protected from the Hellfire. This is a great bounty from God. The Quran has been made easy to recite and remember. It has been revealed in the language of Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, to facilitate this. Wait, God tells Prophet Muhammad, for God is also waiting.

43. Surah al-Zukhruf | سورة الزخرف
Episode 43
Show notes
This eighty-nine verse chapter was named after the golden ornaments mentioned in verses thirty-five and fifty-three. It was revealed in Mecca and thus addresses the fundamentals of the faith. God refutes some of the claims made by the disbelievers including the notion that a true prophet would be wealthy and that God had taken some of the angels as His daughters. The Meccan disbelievers were steeped in superstitions, and God exposes and refutes them.
Verses 1 – 25 The errors of the disbelieving Meccans
The first verse consists of two disconnected Arabic letters. Ha Mim. God has not conveyed any particular meaning to these letters; however, they have been the subject of much scholarly debate. Usually after these letters we are taught something about the Quran. God swears by the glorious Book (the Quran) that makes things clear. He has made it an Arabic Quran for ease of understanding for those to whom it was first revealed.[1] It is from the original book, The Preserved Tablet that is kept with God and in which all the revelations are written.
Should God turn this revelation away from the Meccan disbelievers because they are insolent? There have been many transgressors before them, each rejecting and mocking their prophets, and many were stronger and wealthier than the disbelievers of Mecca. God destroyed them.
It is God who made the world a habitable place, added rivers and highways, and sent down rain from the sky to revive barren lands. He created all things in pairs and gave humankind ships and livestock to enable them to move from place to place. All things were created for the use of humankind, yet they do not remember or are thankful; rather they attribute partners to Him.
The disbelieving Meccans believe that Allah took angels as His daughters, yet they are dismissive of their own daughters and pray only for sons. If one of them is told of the birth of a daughter, he becomes sad. They believe the angels are female, but they were not witnesses at their creation. They claim that if God had not wanted them to worship angels, they would not have done so. But God asks sardonically if perhaps they were given another book He does not know about. Following their ancestors is their excuse, and many before them have claimed the same thing. The prophets brought better guidance than what their people found their forefathers upon, but many disbelieved them. In the end those who disbelieved were punished.
Verses 26 – 45 There is only One God
Abraham renounced what his father and people worshipped. He worshipped God alone, and he bequeathed those words to his descendants so that they could always return to the truth. As time passed the people of Mecca forgot and then God sent Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. They accused him of being a sorcerer and wondered aloud why the Quran was not sent to a greater, more distinguished man. God gives the honor of prophethood to whomever He wills.
Worldly riches and possessions have no significance in the sight of God; had there been no danger of people being inclined towards unbelief in pursuit of this world, He would have filled every disbeliever's house with riches. These things are nothing more than comforts of this worldly life. God reserves the bounties of the Hereafter for the righteous.
Those who turn away from the revelations are assigned a devil as a companion. They think they are guided to the right path, but on the Day of Judgment, they will wish the devilish companion had never come near them. Those companions cannot save them from punishment. And having companions in the punishment will not console them.
Prophet Muhammad is told that he cannot make the deaf hear or the blind see. If they choose not to listen to the message, he cannot force them to change their minds. They will be punished whether he lives to see the punishment or not. Just spread the message, he is told, because he is on the straight path, and he and the believers will be questioned.
Verses 45 – 78 Moses and Jesus
Moses was sent to Pharaoh, and his people were afflicted with scourge after scourge. They expected Moses to pray to God to lift the afflictions in return for their following the guidance, but they broke their promise time after time. Pharaoh claimed he was better than Moses and questioned why Moses did not wear gold ornaments or come with angels. The Egyptians were defiantly disobedient; God drowned them and made them an example for the nations that followed.
When Jesus, the son of Mary, was mentioned as an example of a person being worshipped with God, the disbelievers laughed between themselves as to who is better, the son of God or the daughters of God. They argued trying to provoke and challenge the believers. Jesus was a servant of God and an example of God’s infinite power (by creating him without a father) for the Children of Israel. He is a sign of the coming of the Hour, so do not let Satan mislead you from the straight path. He brought wisdom to the Children of Israel saying God is my Lord and your Lord so worship Him alone, yet the factions among them disagreed, and they will suffer a grievous punishment.
The Day of Judgement will come all of a sudden without warning, and then even friends will become enemies. There will be no fear for God’s righteous servants on that Day. They will be delighted to be entering Paradise and will be given everything their hearts desire and their eyes delight in. The evildoers however will remain in the punishment from which there will be no relief.
Verses 79 – 89 God devises a plan
The disbelievers devise a plan to ruin Prophet Muhammad, but God devises a plan too. He hears their private conversations so too do the angels who are recording their every word or action. God tells Muhammad to say that if the Lord of Mercy had offspring, he (Muhammad) would be the first to worship them but He does not. He is far above what they say. So they blunder along and play until they face the promised doom.
God is far above their false descriptions and Exalted is He who has control of the heavens and the earth and everything in between them. He knows the Hour when all will be returned to Him. Those deities invoked besides God have no power of intercession. And if you ask the disbelievers who created them, they will definitely say God. So how is it that they are so deluded when it comes to worshipping Him alone? God is aware of Prophet Muhammad cry that his people persist in disbelief, but God advises him to bear with them and respond with peace, because in the end they will come to know and understand.

42. Surah al-Shura | سورة الشورى
Episode 42
Show notes
The Consultation is a fifty-three verse chapter revealed in Mecca. The name is derived from the word consultation that is mentioned in verse thirty-eight describing the characteristics of a community of believers. Being a Meccan chapter revealed before the migration to Medina it concentrates on the fundamentals of faith, in this case, God’s all prevailing power and wisdom. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, is reminded that he cannot force people to believe and that he is only required to deliver the message.
Verses 1 – 9 All power belongs to God
The first two verses are Arabic letters. Ha Mim, Ayn Seen Qaf. They are five letters from among various combinations of fourteen letters that open twenty-nine chapters of the Quran. God did not reveal what meanings they may or may not have. Usually after these letters we learn something about the Quran. In this case, God says that He sent His revelation (Quran) to Prophet Muhammad, as He sent revelation to other messengers before him.
The heavens almost break apart because of their awe of God’s majesty. The angels glorify and praise God; while begging forgiveness for the people on earth. As for those who worship other than God, God is watching what they do, and Prophet Muhammad is not responsible for them.
Thus this Quran is revealed in Arabic.[1] It warns the residents of Mecca and surrounds that there will be a Day of Judgement when some will go to Paradise and others will go to the blazing Fire. If God wanted He could have made you a single nation, but He did not. He takes into His mercy those who desire His guidance and the wrongdoers have no one to help them. God gives life to the dead, and He has power over all things.
Verses 10 – 19 The truth is made clear
God judges all disputes. He makes mates for you from among yourselves (and the animal kingdom too) in order to multiply your numbers. The keys to the heavens and the earth belong to Him. And He gives abundantly or sparingly to whomever He wills.
God has ordained for you, the same way of life (Islam) that he ordained for Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Those who associate others with God find it difficult to accept what you (Prophet Muhammad) invite them to. Long ago they were one religion but became divided out of rivalry. So invite them back to God.
Tell them (Prophet Muhammad) that you believe in what God has revealed and say that there is no need for argument, the truth has been made clear and those who refuse do so out of stubbornness and worldly desires. Those who argue with the truth will have a terrible punishment. God has sent down the Quran in truth and justice so what will make you understand that the Hour is near. It is only those who do not believe in it that want to hasten its coming. Those who believe in it are fearful.
Verses 20 – 31 A harvest in the Hereafter
Those who desire Paradise in the Hereafter will have their rewards increased many times over, but those who desire the luxuries of this world with no thought of the Hereafter will have what they desire but they will have no share in Paradise. Or have those that they worship besides God ordained a religion God does not know about? They think they are living a great life, free of morals and manners, but on the Day of Judgment their punishment will be a painful one. Those who believe and do good deeds will be in the gardens of Paradise. This is good news and a great bounty. Prophet Muhammad asks for no reward for this good news, and those who do good deeds will be repaid many times over.
How can people say Muhammad has invented a lie about God? God blots out falsehood and vindicates the truth. He knows what is in the hearts, accepts repentance, answers prayers, and gives more to those who believe and do good deeds. If God sent plentiful provision for everyone some would act insolently, so He provides in due measure. He sends relief after people have lost hope and He spreads mercy. The creation of the heavens and the earth and the living creatures are among His signs. He can gather them together at any time. You cannot escape God and He is your only Protector.
Verses 32 – 43 Forgiveness is better
Ships sailing on the seas are among His signs. They drive through the ocean like mountains, but He can bring them to a standstill or sink them with violent winds. Whatever pleasure you have been given is no more than a fleeting enjoyment of this worldly life—what is in the Hereafter is better and more lasting. It is for those who believe and put their trust in Him, avoid major sins, forgive when they are angry, establish prayer, determine their affairs by consultation, spend from what God has given them, and defend themselves from tyranny.
The retribution for an evil act is one like it, but forgiveness and reconciliation are better. But those who avenge themselves are not blamed. The blameworthy are those who oppress others and act with injustice. They will have a painful punishment.
Verses 44 – 53 Only deliver the message. God retains all control
There is no protection for those God sends astray.[2] They will face the punishment and hope there is a way back. But they will remain in lasting torment and have no allies to help them. So respond to your Lord before this Day comes and the punishment cannot be averted. But if they turn away Muhammad, you are not responsible; your duty is only to deliver the message.
God does not speak to human beings except through inspiration, or from behind a veil, or through a messenger such as the angel Gabriel. And so We have revealed to you Muhammad, an inspired book, this Quran. You did not know of this Book and faith before, but We made it a light by which to guide whoever We choose. And Muhammad, you guide to a straight path, the path of God, Who owns everything in the heavens and on the earth. Everything will return to God.

41. Surah Fusilat | سورة فصلت
Episode 41
Show notes
This is a fifty-four verse chapter revealed in Mecca and thus it examines the fundamentals of faith. The title ‘Explained in Detail’ refers to an Arabic term used to describe the Quran in verses three, and forty-four. The chapter presents some of God’s signs and warns against denying them. It also explains what happens to the unbelievers that refuse to acknowledge the truth and submit to God.
Verses 1 – 12 God creates the universe
Chapter forty-one begins with the letters ha, meem. They are two letters from among various combinations of fourteen letters that open twenty-nine chapters of the Quran. God did not reveal what meanings they may or may not have. Usually after these letters we learn something about the Quran itself. In this case, God says that this Quran is a revelation from Him in the Arabic language and it is a book in which the verses are explained in detail. It gives good news and a warning, but most people do not listen. They make up all sorts of excuses. God says, ‘Do whatever you want,’ and so will He.
Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, calls to the disbelievers telling them he is just a man. God revealed that He is One, so take the right path and beg for His forgiveness. Woe to those who associate anything with God, those who refuse to pay the obligatory charity, and those who refuse to believe in the Hereafter. As for those who believe and do good deeds their reward is never-ending. Prophet Muhammad asks how they can deny the One who created the earth in two days. How could they set up rivals to Him? He is the Lord of all creation! He placed mountains on the earth and bestowed and measured out all His blessings in four days before He turned His attention to the heaven. In two days He made the heaven into seven heavens and each had its task.
Verses 13 – 25 Learn from the past
Those who turn away are warned about a blast like that which struck the communities of Ad and Thamud. When Ad was warned they didn’t listen, behaved arrogantly, and denied their messenger. They were given a humiliating punishment. The people of Thamud were offered guidance, but they too preferred to remain blind. A thunderbolt struck them, and God saved the believers.
On the Day when God’s enemies will be gathered and led to the Hellfire, their ears, eyes, and skins will testify. They will ask their skin, ‘Why did you testify against us?’ And it will reply that God gave them the faculty of speech. You didn’t bother to hide what you were doing from your eyes, ears, and skin, thinking they would never testify against you, but nothing is hidden from God. What you thought led you to ruin and you became losers. The Fire will be their home, and they cannot make amends.
God is fully aware of their corrupt hearts, so He allows evil companions to befriend them and convince them that what they are doing is fair and good. They are lost.
Verses 26 – 44 Consider your options
And the disbelievers say, ‘Don’t listen to the Quran and be disruptive when it is recited.’ For denying God’s revelations they will be punished with Hell. The disbelievers there will ask to be shown those who misled them so that they can trample them underfoot. As for those who say Our Lord is God, and follow the straight path, the angels will descend upon them and say, ‘Have no fear, rejoice in the good news of Paradise. We are your friends in this world and in the world to come where you can have anything your heart desires as a welcome gift from your Lord.’
Who speaks better than someone who calls people to God, does what is right and declares his devotion to God? Good deeds are not equal to evil ones. Repel the bad deeds of others with your good deeds; the person who was your enemy will become your close friend. But only those who endure patiently and are fortunate will attain this quality. If you are tempted by Satan seek refuge in God.
The night, the day, the sun, the moon, are just a few of God’s signs. Do not bow down to them but rather bow down to God, the One who created them, if you are truly His worshippers. If the disbelievers are too arrogant, remember O Prophet Muhammad that the angels who are with God glorify Him tirelessly—He is in no need of creation. And among God’s signs is the barren land. When God sends down rain, it stirs itself into life. He who gives the land life is surely capable of raising the dead back to life on the Day of Resurrection.
Those who distort God’s message are not hidden from Him. Consider who is better, the one who is hurled into the Fire or the one who goes through the Day of Resurrection safely? Do whatever you want because God sees everything you do. The Quran is unassailable, falsehood cannot touch it; it is a revelation sent down from the One worthy of praise. If the Quran was revealed in a foreign language, they would have said why was it not revealed in Arabic? The Quran is a guide and a healing for those who have faith. And the ones who do not believe, neither listen nor understand as if they are being called from a faraway place.
Verses 45 – 54 How far astray are you?
He who does good does so for his own soul, and he who commits evil does so at his own peril. God is never unjust. God alone knows when the Hour will occur. No crop ripens nor does any female conceive or give birth, but He knows it; nothing is hidden from Him. The One Who possesses detailed knowledge of the most minor things cannot be unaware of the acts and deeds of people. On that Day the deities the disbelievers used to worship will fail them, and they will realize that there is no escape.
People never tire of praying for good, but when evil touches them, they despair. And after they are saved, they doubt the Hour will ever come and assume that even if they are returned to God, they will still be treated well just because they were treated well in this world. However, having a comfortable life in this world is not a proof of God being pleased with you. This life is a test and people are tested in different ways. The disbelievers will learn the truth of what they have done and taste a serve punishment. When God bestows favors people turn away, but when evil befalls them, they invoke God with lengthy supplications.
If this Quran is really from God just how far astray does that make you? God’s signs will be clear everywhere until the truth becomes clear. They doubt they will meet their Lord, but He encompasses everything.

40. Surah Ghafer | سورة غافر
Episode 40
Show notes
It is generally accepted that this chapter was revealed directly after chapter thirty-nine. Thus, it was revealed in Mecca and is one of the chapters that examine the fundamentals of faith. It reminds us of God’s signs and favors and gives glimpses from the story of Moses and Pharaoh with life-changing lessons for us. It also provides reassurance to Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him.
Verses 1 – 23 Signs and revelations
This chapter begins with the Arabic letters Ha and Mim. The placement of Arabic letters at the beginning of a chapter is a narrative device used in this and 28 other chapters of the Quran. The reason and the meaning for this is the subject of much scholarly debate, however, the answer is known only to God.
This Book is sent down by God, the Almighty, the Forgiver of sins, the Accepter of repentance, and the One Who Bestows blessings. None has the right to be worshipped but Him. Only the disbelievers dispute His revelation, so do not be deceived by their prosperity and luxurious life. In the past, the people of Noah and other communities tried to destroy their messengers and refute the message. But it was God Who destroyed them with a terrible punishment, condemning them to the Fire.
The angels who carry and surround the Throne celebrate the praise of their Lord and ask for forgiveness for the believers, and that they be admitted to Paradise and kept safe from the Fire.
God shows His signs such as sending water down to sustain life, yet no one learns a lesson from this except those who turn to Him. So be sincere no matter how much the disbelievers dislike it. He is the Lord of the Throne and sends revelations to whomever He wills. On the Day of Judgement each soul will account for their actions and no injustice will be done.
Have they not traveled and seen what happened to those who were mightier in strength and numbers? God destroyed them and they had no one to defend them because they repeatedly rejected their messengers.
Verses 24 – 38 An excellent speech
Moses was sent to Pharaoh, Haman, and Korah with God’s authority but they called him a magician and a liar. They rejected the truth and ordered the sons of the believers to be killed. Finally, Pharaoh said he wanted to kill Moses himself. And Moses sought refuge with God. A believer among the relatives of Pharaoh advised him to think carefully about why he would kill a man who might be speaking the truth. Pharaoh knew Moses was right but lied and said he was only saying what he believed to be right and that he was guiding to the right way. The believing advisor warned his people against how previous disbelieving nations were destroyed. He reminded them about Joseph who came with clear signs, but their doubt remained. Rejecting the truth with clear signs is a despicable attitude, and God seals the heart of the arrogant ones. Pharaoh persisted in his rejection and defiance, and his schemes led only to destruction.
The believing advisor urged people to follow the right way. He said that this life was only temporary while the home in the Hereafter was permanent. He invited them to Paradise while they invited him to the Fire. God saved him from their terrible plots, and the people of Pharaoh were taken over by a terrible scourge.
Verses 46 – 60 God’s promise is true
On the Day of Judgement, the people of Pharaoh will enter the severest part of the Fire. They will argue with each other about who led who to destruction and beg for relief. They will be reminded about their messengers and told their pleas would be in vain. God supports the messengers and the believers.
Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a much greater creation than the creation of humankind. Yet most people do not understand. Those who can see and those who cannot are not the same. Good and wicked deeds are not the same and the Hour will come!
Verses 61 – 85 God’s creation
God made the night for rest and the day bright to make our day to day activities easy. He is the Creator of all things; none has the right to be worshipped except Him. Why then are you deluded? The earth is a settlement place and the sky a canopy. God molded your form and perfected it, then provided you with good things. He is One and there is no deity but Him, so call on Him and be sincere to Him. O Prophet, tell your followers that you have been forbidden to worship what they worship and you have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all the worlds.
God created you from dust (referring to Adam), then from a sperm-drop, then developed you into a clinging clot, then you are born from the womb of your mother, and He allows you to grow to your full strength and maturity before you reach old age and the appointed term of your life, although some of you may die sooner. God gives life and death. He only says ‘Be’ and it is.
Those who deny the Quran and that which the messengers brought, will soon know the consequences of their deeds when they are punished in Hell with chains around their necks being dragged through scalding water. They will be asked about those they associated with God and will admit that they have failed them.
Prophet Muhammad is advised to be patient because God’s promise is true. There are stories of the messengers he knows and stories he does not know. But all messengers could not bring a sign unless it was by the permission of God.
The people of the past who were destroyed were mightier than you in strength and numbers. Their power was of no avail. When God’s scourge overcame them, they cried out that they now believe! But it was of no use to them.

39. Surah al-Zomar | سورة الزمر
Episode 39
Show notes
This chapter of seventy-five verses was revealed in Mecca. Its title comes from the word zumar mentioned in verses seventy-one and seventy-three. The majority of chapters revealed in the Meccan period dealt with the fundamentals of faith and this one is no exception. This chapter contrasts the believers with those who ascribe partners with God. People are free to choose, we are told, however choosing the right path before it is too late is urgently recommended.
Verses 1 – 20 Refuting polytheism
This revelation (the Quran) is from God, sent down to Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. The religion acceptable to God is that none be associated with Him in both worship and obedience. Those who justify their actions saying we only worship others to make them closer to God will be judged by God and find that He does not guide those who lie and disbelieve.
If God intended to have offspring, He could have chosen anyone from the creation, but he is far too exalted for such a thing. He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose; the night and the day wrap over one another and the sun and the moon run in their orbits for a specified time. He created humankind from a single person (Adam) and from him He made his wife (Eve). God created livestock in pairs and creates people in their mother’s wombs one after the other in threefold darkness (the stomach, the uterus, and the amniotic membrane). God has control; there is no deity but Him. How could you turn away?
God does not need the disbelievers, and He does not like ingratitude. He likes to see gratitude, and no soul will ever bear another’s burden. When returned to God He will tell us the truth about what we did in this life. When adversity touches humankind, they call upon their Lord, but when He bestows blessings, they turn away and forget Him. Is the person who prays in the night and fears the Hereafter like the person who does not? Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Those who do good will have a good reward. Say I am commanded to worship God and obey none but Him and I fear a terrible Day.
The losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Judgement; they will be under layers of fire. Those who shun the worship of false gods are the people of understanding, and they will have dwellings built for them in gardens under which rivers flow. This is God’s promise.
Verses 21 – 35 Actions have consequences
God sends down rain, it brings forth vegetation which later withers and dies at His command. This is a reminder—every rise has a fall, therefore do not be charmed by this world and its glitter and forget God and the Hereafter. Some walk in the light, others have hearts that have hardened, and they have completely lost their way.
Is the one who is to be punished like the one who is secure? The wrongdoers will taste the chastisement they earned. Many in the past denied God, but the punishment came upon them suddenly, and the punishment in the Hereafter will be far worse. Everyone will die, and on the Day of Resurrection, many will dispute with one another in God’s presence. Who is more unjust than the person who lies about God? Hell is the abode of the disbelievers, and the righteous will have whatever they desire.
Verses 36 – 54 Make a choice
Is God not enough for His servant? The disbelievers threaten Prophet Muhammad with what they worship other than God. If God allows a person to stray none can guide him, but if He guides someone none can lead him astray. They say that God created the heavens and the earth, so ask them why do they invoke something other than God! Can they remove harm; can they give or withhold mercy!? Whoever follows the guidance of the Quran does so for his own benefit and whoever goes astray does so at his own peril.
When God is mentioned, the hearts of the disbelievers shrink with aversion, but if an idol is mentioned, they are happy. And God will judge between those who differ. Even if the wrongdoers have everything in this world, and more than that, they would certainly offer it to ransom themselves from the punishment on the Day of Judgement. God will then show them something they did not expect—their evil deeds plain to see and they will be overwhelmed.
When adversity touches a person, he calls on God, but when he receives a blessing, he attributes it to his own knowledge. It is a test, and people in the past were tested in the same way. Today’s wrongdoers will be hit in the same way the people of the past were hit by the evil effects of their deeds. One can always turn back to God—never despair of His mercy because He forgives all sins of those who repent and correct themselves.
Verses 55 – 75 Those driven in groups
Follow the Quran before the punishment comes, and you are regretful. Those who lied about God will be punished, whilst those who did well will be delivered to a place of safety. God created everything; the keys to the heavens and the earth are His.
Why worship something other than God when you have been warned both now, and in the past, about the danger of ascribing partners to God. Your work will become worthless, and you will be among the losers. On the Day of Resurrection, God will roll up the heavens in His right hand, the trumpet will sound, and everyone will fall down senseless except those who God spares. The trumpet will sound again causing everyone to stand upright. The earth will shine, the book of deeds will be opened, and the prophets and witnesses will be called.
Fair judgment will be given, and those destined for Hell will be led towards it in groups. The gates will be opened, and they will abide there eternally. Those who feared God will be led to Paradise in groups. The gates will be opened, and they will be greeted with words of peace. They will praise God. The judgment is perfect.
