“O mankind, there has come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.” (Qur’an 10:57)

Ramadan Day 16: The relationship with the Qur’an should continue beyond Ramadan.
16th of Ramadan

*Heart Health: Service and Humility*
“And be gracious to the believers who follow you.” (Qur’an 26:215)
Humility and service are from the ways to achieving purification of the soul and heart tenderness.
The Blessed Prophet (saw) him said: (whoever lowers himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him)
Source: (https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:4176) Though here the grading has been given as Da’if that grading is not given across the board of Islamic scholarship on the matter.
The meaning is sound.
And Abu Bakr May Allah be pleased with him said: “We found generosity in righteousness, wealth in firm belief, and honour in humbleness.”
The human finds tenderness in his heart and mercy for others based on how humble he is, and finds comfort and purity in the conscience bases on his service to others.
*Prophets and Holy Books*
The Messenger ˹firmly˺ believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They ˹all˺ believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. ˹They proclaim,˺ “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” (Qur’an 2:285)
Believing in prophets and holy books is a necessity in Islam, so failing to believe in the prophets and books would take you out of the circle of Islam.
Do you have to believe in each prophet and books?
The bare minimum is to believe that Allah sent prophets and the last one is Muhammed + Allah sent books and the last is the Qur’an.
After that if the argument is established for you that there is a prophet called Musa by reading the Qur’an or hearing it in a lecture…etc you are obligated to believe in him, and so on…
*Fasting when traveling*
“Whoever is ill or on a journey, then ˹let them fast˺ an equal number of days ˹after Ramaḍân˺. Allah intends ease for you, not hardship.” (Qur’an 2:185)
Here is the summary on this issue:
– It’s permissible to fast or break the fast when traveling.
– There is a difference in opinion regarding what is better? The most prominent opinion is what is easier is better.
– The traveling in the context of this issue is the same as travelling in the issue of prayer, so when you pray Qasr you can break the fast.
– Who ever has the intention to break the fast by traveling should travel before Fajr, otherwise it’s not allowed to break the fast at home before traveling
– The traveler can break his fast after traveling the required different even if he had the intention to fast initially.
– If someone committed something that would obligate a heavy atonement with the intention of breaking the fast then there is nothing on him.
– If someone returns home from traveling while not fasting, he can continue without needing to abstain from fast breakers
– Traveling is a valid excuse to breaking the fast, but breaking the fast isn’t an excuse for traveling, so it’s not allowed to travel with the intention of breaking the fast as this is from the actions of hypocrites: “They seek to deceive Allah and the believers, yet they only deceive themselves, but they fail to perceive it.” (Qur’an 2:9)
May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah!
May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah!
