Exams
Exams + Allah (SWT) = Hope

The Qur'an
The last Book from Allah (SWT), which was revealed to our Prophet Mohamed (SAS), is most commonly known as the Qur’an. It is the book of complete guidance. It has all of the wisdom contained in the previous books and more. It is the book that Allah (SWT) promised to protect from changes and harm. No human being or jinn can write a book like that.

Atheist: Can your Lord fit the entire universe into an egg without making the egg any bigger and the universe any smaller?

They told me that the Quran can grant me so. They said that Dua’a can help me reach it. And so I tried.

10 Reasons to Fall for the Prophet Muhammad SAWS
1. His Human Self
He was never distant from humanity. He smiled, loved, cried and felt pain. He walked, moved, ate and showered. He was a human being, so it is really applicable to follow him as a role model.
When I make a mistake or become a bit lazy about being good, Prophet Muhammad’s real model takes me back to the right track. I tell myself: “He was human, to make it easy for us. It was...
