Ramadhan Series : Juz 24

-

 Juz 24 covers Surah Az-Zumar (39:32-75), Surah Ghafir (40:1-85), and Surah Fussilat (41:1-46). This Juz emphasizes the importance of sincerity in worship, patience in adversity, and the ultimate success of the believers.

1. The Quran as a Light of Guidance

"Is one whose heart Allah has expanded to accept Islam so that he follows a light from his Lord [like the one who rejects it]?" (Az-Zumar 39:22)

The Quran is a source of light for those who seek guidance. A sincere heart is open to truth, while arrogance leads to darkness.

Health Insight: Reading and reflecting on the Quran can help one achieve emotional clarity, reduce stress, and provide inner peace.

2. Sincerity in Worship: Doing Everything for Allah Alone

"Say, 'I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion.'" (Az-Zumar 39:11)

Acts of worship must be done purely for Allah and not for seeking worldly praise or approval.

Health Insight: Sincere worship fosters humility, strengthens faith, and provides emotional stability.

3. The Power of Patience and Trusting Allah’s Plan

"So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth..." (Ghafir 40:55)

This verse reminds us that patience in trials leads to ultimate success. Life’s hardships are tests, and Allah’s help is near.

Health Insight: Practicing patience lowers stress, improves heart health, and promotes a sense of calmness.

4. Arrogance vs. Humility: The Story of Pharaoh

"Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without [any] authority have arrogance within their hearts..." (Ghafir 40:56)

Pharaoh’s downfall was due to his arrogance and rejection of truth. Humility brings wisdom, while arrogance leads to ruin.

Health Insight: Arrogance increases stress and damages relationships, while humility fosters peace and connection.

5. The Power of Good Speech and Positive Influence

"And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness..." (Fussilat 41:33)

Using kind words and calling others towards goodness brings blessings and spreads positivity in society.

Health Insight: Positive speech reduces conflicts, improves relationships, and enhances mental well-being.

Final Thoughts

Juz 24 teaches that guidance comes from a sincere heart, patience leads to success, and humility protects from downfall. By worshipping Allah sincerely and speaking with kindness, we strengthen both our faith and well-being.

Key Learnings

May Allah help us live by these lessons. Ameen.

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...
