Ramadhan Series : Juz 20

-

 Juz 20 covers Surah Al-Qasas (28:45-88), Surah Al-Ankabut (29:1-69), and Surah Ar-Rum (30:1-60). This Juz emphasizes the importance of patience, trust in Allah’s plan, and remaining steadfast in faith despite challenges.

1. Patience and Trust in Allah’s Timing

"And do not be impatient for them. Indeed, We are counting down for them a [fixed] number." (Al-Qasas 28:88)

This verse reminds us that everything happens according to Allah’s perfect timing. We may not always understand why certain events unfold, but trusting His plan brings peace.

Health Insight: Patience reduces stress and anxiety, improving both mental and physical well-being.

2. Trials as a Test of Faith

"Do the people think that they will be left to say, ‘We believe’ and they will not be tested?" (Al-Ankabut 29:2)

Tests and difficulties are part of a believer’s journey. They purify the soul and strengthen faith. Many prophets, including Prophet Ibrahim (AS), faced great hardships but remained firm.

Health Insight: Facing challenges with faith builds emotional resilience and a positive mindset.

3. Strength in Worship and Seeking Allah’s Help

"Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater..." (Al-Ankabut 29:45)

Salah (prayer) is not just an obligation but a source of strength and purification. It keeps us connected to Allah and protects us from harmful actions.

Health Insight: Regular prayer calms the nervous system, improves focus, and enhances emotional well-being.

4. Signs of Allah in the Natural World

"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them..." (Ar-Rum 30:21)

This verse highlights the beauty of relationships built on love, mercy, and tranquility. It also reminds us that nature itself is full of signs of Allah’s greatness.

🔹 Health Insight: Healthy relationships contribute to emotional stability, reduce stress, and promote happiness.

5. The Cycles of Life and Renewal of Hope

"And He it is Who begins creation; then He repeats it, and that is [even] easier for Him..." (Ar-Rum 30:27)

Just as Allah revives the earth after it dies, He can bring renewal and hope in our lives. No matter how difficult a situation seems, Allah can turn it around.

Health Insight: Hope and optimism improve mental health, boost the immune system, and enhance longevity.

Final Thoughts

Juz 20 teaches that patience, perseverance, sincere worship, and reflecting on Allah’s signs bring peace and success. These lessons benefit 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 (ï·º), 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 (ï·º) 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...
