HADÎD: The Sharp Boundary, Divine Intervention, the Awakening of Consciousness The word " Hadîd " (الحديد) is a noun derived from the root "H-D-D" and is in the emphatic active participle form. This root and its derivatives contain not only physical meanings but also powerful metaphorical ones. To understand the word's place and depth in the Qur'an, one must first examine these root meanings. 🔤 Semantic Fields of the H-D-D Root: In basic Arabic dictionaries, the word " ḥadd " has multi-layered meanings: "A boundary, a line that separates one thing from another" "The final point, the limit of everything" "To prevent, to distance, to repel" "To discipline, to punish" "A state of anger, violence, fury" "Sharp sight, the ability to distinguish fine differences" Derived from this root, the word " ḥadîd " carries meanings not only of "iron ore" but also of distinguishing pow...

🔥 “Each Group Lit Its Own Fire: Ideological Lights Instead of the Qur'an’s Light” 🔥 Fires That Imitate the Light of Truth The Qur’an makes a clear distinction between those who seek and find the path of truth, and those who merely polish their assumptions and present them as truth. Surah al-Baqarah 2:17 presents this with a striking metaphor: “Their example is like that of one who kindled a fire. When it illuminated all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness—unable to see.” (2:17) The fire here represents a light that appears to shine, but is not nūr (divine light). It is not a true guide, but a false illumination . Today, many sects and ideological groups that associate themselves with Islam have also kindled their own fires—calling others to themselves, presenting their own writings as wisdom , their leaders as guides , and their interpretations as if they were revelation . 🌑 Refuge in Speculative Lights: The Fires of Sects, Communities, ...

✒️ “They Love Them as They Should Love Allah”: A Conceptual Analysis of Shirk, Love, and Following through Surah al-Baqara 165–167 In the Qur’an, shirk is not merely about worshipping stone idols—it is a multi-layered deviation. Surah al-Baqara verses 165–167 powerfully show that this deviation has an emotional dimension, especially highlighting how turning one’s love away from Allah toward others constitutes a form of shirk . 1. Shirk through Love: “They Love Them as They Love Allah” “They love them as they should love Allah” (al-Baqara 2:165) This expression redefines shirk beyond the classical framework: attributing divine value to anyone or anything other than Allah can sometimes occur not through the intellect, but through the heart—particularly through excessive love. 🔍 Word Analysis: يُحِبُّونَهُمْ (yuḥibbūnahum) – “They love them” – root: ḥ-b-b This root conveys emotional affection and loyal attachment. In the Qur’an, it is used in various contexts: Allah loving...

PROPHETS AS LORDS: THE SUBTLEST FORM OF CORRUPTING RELIGION ✨ 1. Introduction: Who Has the Authority to Rule? The essence of Islam is to recognize only Allah as “Rabb” (Lord). The word “Rabb” does not merely mean Creator; it also means One who nurtures, teaches, governs, and legislates. For this reason, the Qur’an prohibits taking not only religious scholars but even prophets as lords. “It is not for a prophet to say to people: ‘Be my worshippers instead of Allah’s.’ Rather, he would say: ‘Be people of the Lord (Rabbaniyyun), because you have been teaching the Book and studying it.’” ( Āl‑i ‘Imrān, 3:79 ) ⛔️ Thus, even a prophet cannot legislate in religion; his role is only to teach the revelation. 📜 2. What Does It Mean to “Take as Lord”? 🔍 To “take as lord” is not limited to prostration or supplication. The core meaning is: ➡️ To view a person as a religious authority, a lawgiver, and a determiner of what is permissible and forbidden. 📚 The Qur’an gives this example:...

The People of the Cave and the People of the Inscription A Conceptual Reading Centered on Surah al-Kahf As with many other narratives in the Qur’an, the story of the People of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf) stands out not only as a historical account but also for its symbolic and instructive dimensions. This narrative emerges against the backdrop of questions posed to Prophet Muhammad by the polytheists of his time, often influenced by the speculations of the People of the Book. In Surah al-Kahf, Allah conveys the essence of this story, providing a timeless lesson while critiquing detailed and literalist approaches to such narratives. Two Groups: Ashab al-Kahf and Ashab al-Raqim The Qur’an mentions two distinct groups within this account: Ashab al-Kahf : These are young believers who withdrew completely from society to escape persecution for their faith. They retreated to a mountain cave, seeking refuge from oppression. Allah placed a barrier over their hearing, symbolizing their tot...
