Ramadhan Series : Juz 22

-

 Juz 22 covers Surah Al-Ahzab (33:31-73), Surah Saba (34:1-54), Surah Fatir (35:1-45), and Surah Ya-Sin (36:1-83). This Juz emphasizes faith in Allah, gratitude, the consequences of arrogance, and the signs of Allah’s power in creation.

1. Strengthening Iman and Obedience to Allah

"Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him – it is those who will be successful." (Al-Ahzab 33:71)

Success in this life and the Hereafter comes from submission to Allah’s guidance. True believers stay mindful of their actions and seek righteousness.

Health Insight: Consciousness of Allah (Taqwa) reduces stress, promotes self-discipline, and fosters inner peace.

2. The Importance of Gratitude in Sustaining Blessings

"Work, O family of Dawud, in gratitude. And few of My servants are grateful." (Saba 34:13)

Gratitude is an essential trait of a believer. Expressing thankfulness increases blessings and strengthens our connection with Allah.

Health Insight: Practicing gratitude improves mood, reduces depression, and enhances overall well-being.

3. Arrogance and Its Consequences

"And they said, 'Our wealth and our children will protect us from punishment.' But it is not so..." (Saba 34:35)

This verse warns against arrogance and relying on material possessions. True security comes from faith, not wealth or status.

Health Insight: Arrogance and pride increase stress and anxiety, whereas humility fosters peace and healthy relationships.

4. The Role of Angels and Continuous Seeking of Forgiveness

"The angels exalt [Allah] with praise and ask forgiveness for those on the earth..." (Fatir 35:5)

This verse highlights that angels constantly pray for the believers. Seeking forgiveness purifies the soul and brings tranquility.

Health Insight: Seeking forgiveness reduces guilt, eases the heart, and promotes mental clarity.

5. Signs of Allah’s Power in Creation

"And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Almighty, the All-Knowing." (Ya-Sin 36:38)

Surah Ya-Sin describes the perfection of Allah’s creation. Reflecting on nature strengthens faith and increases awe of Allah.

Health Insight: Spending time in nature reduces stress, improves mood, and enhances mindfulness.

Final Thoughts

Juz 22 teaches that faith, gratitude, humility, seeking forgiveness, and reflecting on Allah’s signs lead to spiritual and emotional well-being. These lessons bring peace, success, and fulfillment.

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...
