The Qur’anic Chronology of Creation

By

Exploring the Qur’anic Chronology of Creation reveals a profound perspective on how our universe transformed from a single point into the complex world we live in today. While modern science focuses on the "how," the Qur’an describes creation in meaningful stages that highlight the purpose behind the heavens and the earth. This layered journey moves from the initial act of creation to the detailed shaping of the stars, planets, and life, finally culminating in the appearance of human beings. In this article, we break down these stages to show how the Qur’an presents a beautifully coherent and purposeful vision of the universe. 1. Chronology of Creation Allah Almighty says in Surah Fussilat: 9.  قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥ أَندَادًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ 10.  وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَوَىٰ لِلسَّائِلِينَ 11.  ثُمَ...

Islamic Verdict on Drawing Living Creatures via AI

By
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 1. Traditional Rulings on Drawing Living Beings Classical scholars often  prohibited  drawing animate beings (humans and animals), especially if the image had a complete body and facial features, citing hadiths such as:  “Those who will be most severely punished on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers.” — (Sahih al-Bukhari, Muslim) The rationale was linked to  imitation of Allah’s creation  and fear of  idolatry  (shirk), especially in an era where images and statues were worshipped. Some scholars allowed drawing as long as: The figure is  incomplete  and can not sustain life (missing head, face, or significant organ, portrait). It’s for  educational or functional purposes  (e.g., medical,    scientific ). Summary Verdict Drawing living creatures using AI is permissible in Islam, according to most modern scholars, as long as the content is halal, th...

Primordial Light: The Beginning of Time

By

A Reflection on Surah al-Falaq and Islamic Cosmology Introduction The Qur'an begins Surah al-Falaq with a profound declaration: قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Al-Falaq." (Qur'an 113:1) Traditionally, Al-Falaq is understood as the dawn or daybreak. Yet the Arabic word possesses a deeper and more fundamental meaning. Derived from the root fa-la-qa , it signifies splitting, cleaving, bursting forth, and emergence. It describes the moment when something concealed breaks through its enclosure and becomes manifest. The sequence of the Surah is noteworthy: قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Al-Falaq, from the evil of what He has created." If al-Falaq referred only to the daily dawn, there is a certain jump in scale: Verse 1 would refer to a daily natural phenomenon. Verse 2 would immediately move to the entirety of creation. However, if Al-Falaq is understood as the p...

He traveled to: Rayy (modern-day Iran)  – where he studied under scholars such as Muhammad ibn Humayd al-Razi. Basra and Kufa (Iraq) ...

Prayer Times and Fasting in Polar Regions

By
Image
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Introduction The extreme latitudes of the Earth present one of the most challenging questions in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. In regions near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, normal astronomical signs that determine prayer and fasting times may partially or completely disappear. During the phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun, the sun remains above the horizon for weeks or months. During the Polar Night, it may not rise at all. Islamic acts of worship are traditionally linked to observable solar phenomena. Fajr begins with true dawn, Dhuhr with the sun's decline from the meridian, Maghrib with sunset, and Isha with the disappearance of twilight. When these signs cease to exist or become indistinguishable, Muslims face an important legal question: how are the obligations of prayer and fasting to be fulfilled? Remarkably, classical Islamic jurists addressed this issue centuries before Muslims permanently settle...
