    Have No Fear, for Allah Is With Us | Al-Anfal 8:46 – Yunus 10:20 | Episode 97

    In Episode 97 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I continue my journey through the Qur’an in English, reading from Surah Al-Anfal, Chapter 8, verse 46 through to Surah Yunus, Chapter 10, verse 20, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. This reading takes us through the end of Surah Al-Anfal, the whole of Surah At-Tawbah, and into the beginning of Surah Yunus. We read powerful guidance about remaining firm, trusting Allah, keeping our commitments, sincerity, sacrifice, repentance, charity, hypocrisy and the responsibilities of believers. Among the most memorable moments is the account of the Prophet ﷺ and his companion in the cave, when he reassures him: “Have no fear, for Allah is with us.” Later in Surah At-Tawbah, we are also reminded that nothing can happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us, and that believers should place their trust in Him. The reading then begins Surah Yunus with reminders about revelation, Allah’s signs, the creation of the heavens and the earth, and our ultimate return to Him. 📖 Surah Al-Anfal 8:46 – Surah Yunus 10:20🎙️ Episode 97📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur’an in English. My aim is to read at least ten pages every day while listening to the Arabic and trying to better connect the words with their meaning. May Allah help us understand His words, reflect upon them and bring their guidance into our lives. Ameen.

    When Allah Is Mentioned, Hearts Tremble | Al-A‘raf 7:171 – Al-Anfal 8:45 | Episode 96

    In Episode 96 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I continue my journey through the Qur’an in English, reading from Surah Al-A‘raf, Chapter 7, verse 171 through to Surah Al-Anfal, Chapter 8, verse 45, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. This reading brings us to the end of Surah Al-A‘raf and then into Surah Al-Anfal. We read reminders about Allah’s signs, those who turn away from them, the importance of remembering Allah, and the call to forgiveness and righteousness. As Surah Al-Anfal begins, we encounter a powerful description of true believers: when Allah is mentioned, they feel a tremor in their hearts; when His signs are recited, their faith grows; and they place their trust in their Lord. The reading then takes us into the events surrounding the Battle of Badr — including trust in Allah, courage in difficulty, the help given to the believers, and the importance of remaining firm and remembering Allah. 📖 Surah Al-A‘raf 7:171 – Surah Al-Anfal 8:45🎙️ Episode 96📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur’an in English.

    My Mercy Extendeth to All Things | Surah Al-A‘raf 7:88–170 | Episode 95

    In Episode 95 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I continue reading the Qur’an in English from Surah Al-A‘raf, Chapter 7, verses 88–170, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. This reading takes us through some of the most powerful events in the story of Prophet Musa (Moses). We read about Musa and Pharaoh, the signs shown to Pharaoh and his people, the magicians who recognised the truth and chose to believe, and the eventual escape of the Children of Israel. The passage then continues with Musa receiving the revelation, the worship of the golden calf during his absence, repentance, and the covenant taken from the Children of Israel. Among the most hopeful reminders in this reading are the words: “My mercy extendeth to all things.” It is a powerful reminder of the vastness of Allah’s mercy, alongside the importance of faith, obedience and repentance. 📖 Surah Al-A‘raf 7:88–170🎙️ Episode 95📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur’an in English.

    Why Did Iblis Refuse to Bow? | Surah Al-A'raf 7:1–87 | Episode 94

    In Episode 94 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I begin reading Surah Al-A'raf (The Heights), Chapter 7, verses 1–87, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation of the Qur'an. This powerful reading takes us back to the creation of Adam and the story of Iblis, who refused Allah's command to bow before him out of arrogance. We read about how Iblis tempted Adam and his wife, the importance of following Allah's guidance, and the consequences of pride and disobedience. The passage also describes the Day of Judgment, Paradise and Hell, and the people of Al-A'raf (The Heights). We then encounter the stories of earlier prophets, including Nuh (Noah), Hud, Salih, Lut (Lot) and Shu'ayb, and their calls to worship Allah alone. Among the powerful lessons in this reading is the danger of arrogance and the importance of humility, obedience and repentance. 📖 Surah Al-A'raf 7:1–87🎙️ Episode 94📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur'an in English. My aim is to read at least ten pages every day while listening to the Arabic and trying to better connect the words with their meaning.

    My Prayer, My Life and My Death Are for Allah | Surah Al-An‘am 6:102–165 | Episode 93

    In Episode 93 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I continue my journey through the Qur’an in English, reading Surah Al-An‘am, Chapter 6, verses 102–165, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. This reading contains powerful reminders about Allah as the Creator of all things, worshipping Him alone, following His guidance, and recognising His signs throughout creation. The passage also warns against inventing religious restrictions without authority, reminds us that guidance comes from Allah, and calls us towards a straight path. Toward the end of Surah Al-An‘am comes one of the most powerful declarations of devotion: “My prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are all for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds.” It is a reminder that worship is not limited to individual acts. Our whole lives should ultimately be directed towards Allah. 📖 Surah Al-An‘am 6:102–165 🎙️ Episode 93 📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur’an in English. My aim is to read at least ten pages each day while listening to the Arabic and trying to better connect the words with their meaning.

    With Him Are the Keys of the Unseen | Surah Al-An‘am 6:28–101 | Episode 92

    In Episode 92 of The Authentic Ummah Podcast, I continue my journey through the Qur’an in English, reading Surah Al-An‘am, Chapter 6, verses 28–101, using the Abdullah Yusuf Ali English translation. This reading contains powerful reminders about resurrection, accountability, the temporary nature of this worldly life, the rejection faced by earlier messengers, and the knowledge and power of Allah. Among the most striking verses in this section is the reminder that with Allah are the keys of the unseen. Nothing on the land or in the sea escapes His knowledge, and not even a leaf falls without Him knowing it. We also read about Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him) reflecting upon the stars, the moon and the sun before declaring his devotion to the One who created the heavens and the earth. The passage continues with signs of Allah throughout creation — the night and day, the stars, rain, plants, fruits and human life itself. 📖 Surah Al-An‘am 6:28–101🎙️ Episode 92📚 English translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali This episode is part of my ongoing journey through the Qur’an in English.

As Surah Al-An‘am begins, the reading turns to Allah as the Creator of the heavens and the earth, His mercy, the certainty of resurrection, and the signs that surround us.
