Heartwork: Quran Study for Young Professionals - Surah Taha 5

This week’s session of Heartwork, we’ll be discussing the next passage in Surah Taha, starting at verse 15.One of the principle beliefs that Muslims hold sacred is the concept of a Hereafter - that every single person’s actions in this worldly life will be measured and weighed in accordance with their responsibilities to God and everyone around them, and through God’s mercy and grace they will either be given Paradise, or by God’s justice some will suffer the consequences of flagrant spiritual negligence. This is a pretty powerful canvas for reflection, as it stands.One aspect of the Afterlife that is especially powerful, though, is the fact that the knowledge about its exact time and various details about its occurrence are hidden from humanity. What is the importance of veiling the Day of Judgment from humanity? Allah explains in this passage of Surah Taha.Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.

Heartwork - Quran Study: Surah Taha 8

This week’s session of Heartwork, we’ll be discussing the next passage in Surah Taha, starting at verse 28.In this passage, Musa is seeking aid from Allah regarding the task at hand; Allah has told Musa (as) that he is a messenger, and that he must go to Pharoah and convey the message of truth and justice of Islam to him. This is the most overwhelming task that Musa has been given in his life. Despite having gotten by in life until now, and despite being ordained a messenger, Musa exemplifies wisdom and humility in his dua he makes to Allah as he requests help for his task. How does he make dua? How does he show this humility and thoughtfulness?

Heartwork - Quran Study: Surah Taha 9

This week’s session of Heartwork, we’ll be discussing the next passage in Surah Taha, starting at verse 42.Pharoah is one of the greatest tyrants of all time - he oppressed thousands and thousands under his control, and eventually inflated his ego to the point where he pronounced "I am god the most high!" His transgressions against God and humanity reached such limits, Allah gave Musa and Harun (as) the mission to go and speak to him.When someone is clearly in the wrong, and they wrong others while they're at it, when we address their mistakes/aggressions, the last thing we think about is to make sure we speak to them with etiquette, care, and compassion. Normally, our goal is to show them they're wrong, and to end the harm that they're doing - our etiquette is an afterthought (if a thought at all).The way that Allah instructed Musa to speak Pharoah may surprise us.Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.
