What were the major outcomes of the establishment of the Prophet’s ﷺ marketplace (Souq al-Nabi ﷺ)?

Why the Qur’an could not have been written by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Throughout history, sceptics have attempted to claim that the Qur’an was authored by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The Qur’anic response The Qur’an…

While his character has been described in detail by scholars such as Imam al-Tirmidhi and Qadi Iyad, I will focus on the mercy of the Prophet ﷺ and how we can embody and apply it in our own lives. The reason I’ve chosen the attribute of mercy is because it sums up the mission of…

The Quran mentions many numbers, often in reference to events or descriptions of people and prophets. But how should we understand these numbers, literally or metaphorically? Let us explore two famous cases: the height of Adam (peace be upon him) and the lifespan of Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him). Literal vs. metaphorical in the…
