Ramadhan Series : Juz 16

-

 Juz 16 covers Surah Al-Kahf (18:75-110), Surah Maryam (19:1-98), and Surah Ta-Ha (20:1-135). This Juz emphasizes placing trust in Allah (Tawakkul), maintaining gratitude, and following divine guidance for a meaningful life.

1. Trusting Allah’s Wisdom in Every Situation

"Moses said to him, 'May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgment?'" (Al-Kahf 18:66)

The story of Prophet Musa (AS) and Khidr teaches us that Allah’s wisdom is beyond our understanding. Even when things seem difficult, they are part of a greater plan.

Health Insight: Accepting what we cannot control reduces anxiety and fosters emotional resilience.

2. The Power of Du’a and Divine Assistance

"And never say of anything, ‘Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,’ except [when adding], ‘If Allah wills.’" (Al-Kahf 18:23-24)

This verse reminds us that success depends on Allah’s will. By constantly seeking His guidance, we align our efforts with His plan.

Health Insight: Having faith in a higher purpose reduces stress and increases a sense of fulfilment.


3. The Blessings of Family and Parenthood

"O Zakariyya, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be Yahya. We have not assigned to any before [this] name." (Maryam 19:7)

Prophet Zakariyya (AS) was granted a son after years of du’a, teaching us that patience and reliance on Allah lead to blessings.

Health Insight: Emotional well-being in family life improves heart health, reduces stress, and strengthens resilience.

4. Finding Strength in Difficulties Through Worship

"And We had certainly commanded Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination." (Ta-Ha 20:115)

This verse teaches that mistakes are part of being human, but sincere repentance leads to growth. Turning to Allah in hardship strengthens faith.

Health Insight: Mindful worship, including prayer and reflection, reduces stress and improves mental clarity.

5. The Importance of Consistency in Worship and Seeking Knowledge

"And establish prayer for My remembrance." (Ta-Ha 20:14)

This verse highlights the importance of salah (prayer) in maintaining a strong connection with Allah. Daily acts of worship bring spiritual and emotional peace.

Health Insight: A structured daily routine that includes spiritual practices improves focus, reduces stress, and promotes mental balance.

Final Thoughts

Juz 16 teaches that trusting Allah, being patient, practicing gratitude, and seeking knowledge lead to a fulfilling and righteous life. Applying these lessons benefits spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.

Why Olive Oil Is a Sunnah Superfood — And How to Use It

Olive oil isn’t just a kitchen staple — it’s a sacred Sunnah. Mentioned in the Qur’an and praised by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), this humble oil carries both spiritual and physical benefits. Science now backs what Islamic tradition has known for centuries: olive oil is a powerful tool for health and healing. In a hadith, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Eat olive oil and use it on your hair and skin, for it comes from a blessed tree” (Tirmidhi). It’s one of the few foods recommended for both internal and external use, making it a Sunnah superfood worth reviving. The Health Benefits: Backed by Science Olive oil — especially cold-pressed, extra virgin — is rich in heart-healthy fats and antioxidants. It’s been linked to lower cholesterol, reduced inflammation, and even protection against chronic diseases like heart disease and Alzheimer’s. One of its standout compounds, oleocanthal, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, similar to ibuprofen but without the side effects. Other benefits include imp...
