How the Quran guides us to the finest natural foods—dates, grapes, honey, and milk—and reveals scientific miracles that modern research is only beginning to understand
This is an analogy struck by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the seeker of the Hereafter. For verily, Satan lies in wait on his path, and the soul along with its false hopes and desires are his helpers. Thus, if he awakens during his journey and purifies his intention in his deeds, he is safe from Satan and his forces, and from the bandits of the road and their aides. Then he is guided to the fact that traversing the path of the Hereafter is difficult, attaining the Hereafter is arduous, and it is not obtained by the slightest effort.

Prophet Zakariyah (Zachary), a figure of profound reverence in Islam, stands as a model of unwavering faith, patient prayer, and humble service to God among the Children of Israel. Chosen from the noblest lineages as one of God’s prophets, he devoted his life to worship, guiding his people toward monotheism while serving as the guardian of the pure-hearted Maryam in Jerusalem’s sacred sanctuary. His story, vividly recounted in the Qur’an’s Surahs Al-Imran and Maryam, culminates in the miraculous birth of his son Yahya (John), a testament to divine mercy that transcends human limitations of age and barrenness, offering timeless lessons in trust and sincerity for readers of all backgrounds.
