As-Salaam alaikum,
  Verse/ayat number 14 of chapter 20 of the Holy Qur'an, Surat Ta-Ha reads: --
    ''VERILY, I AM GOD:
     THERE IS NO god BUT I
    SO, SERVE ME (only), AND ESTABLISH REGULAR (Sallah)
   PRAYER FOR CELEBRATING MY PRAISE (Zikr).''
Establishing Sallah means having spiritual connection with Allah and observing Him in the heart, as the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: -- ''There is no Sallah without the presence of heart (before Allah)''
In Sallah with presence of heart, our organs are busy in bowing and prostrating, the tongue will be reciting the Qur'an but the heart is engrossed in the remembrance and vision of Allah.

As-Salaam alaikum,
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: --
       ''THE STRONG MAN IS NOT THE ONE WHO WRESTLES, BUT THE STRONG
      MAN IS IN FACT THE ONE WHO CONTROLS HIMSELF IN A FIT OF RAGE.'' (Bukhari and Muslim, also in Riyad-us-Saliheen, chapter 75).
People are usually impressed by physical power, but the real strength is in that one who keeps his/her anger under control, especially when provoked. Note this well.
Many Regards.

As-Salaam alaikum,
  In ayat 53 of Surat Zumar of the Holy Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala says: --
 ''Say: O My servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not
of the Mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful''. (39:53)
If you have transgressed the limits on yourself with sins, as the verse/ayat says.... Allah is telling His Messenger, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, to inform us not to lose hope -- laa taqnatoo min rahmatullah -- do not despair of Allah's Mercy!  Repent, seek His Forgiveness with lots of Istighfar.... Innallah yaghfiru zunooba jamee'aan.... Verily, Allah forgives all sins.
Ya-Ghafoor Ya-Ghafoor... Ya-Afoow.  Allah likes His Servants to ask for forgiveness every moment in their life.
And we should have good thoughts and expectations that He, Azza Wa-Jallah, will indeed forgive us. In a Hadith-Qudsi, He said: --
     ''Ana 'inda husni zhanna 'abdee bee... I am according to My servant's good thoughts of Me.'' (Bayhaqi)
In view of this, whenever you have good thoughts, you will be saved and Allah will forgive you. If you have doubts, be careful as you cannot play here: either you have 100 per cent belief or you have shaky belief, the Heaven Balance can check it.
If we commit sin(s), we should immediately repent, seek Allah's forgiveness with a sincere heart and intention not to go back to such sins... and we will find Him Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

 As-Salaam alaikum,
We often tend to forget the importance of the simple, yet powerful du'a.... supplication of Istighfar... that is the saying or reciting of astaghfirullah....astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness of Allah).
Some of its values are:: --
(1) Istghfar removes anxiety and with it, your du'a are answered.
(2) It opens the door of sustenance, mercy and knowledge.
(3) Reciting of astaghfirullah....astaghfirullah...astaghfirullah.... helps us to calm ourselves and wipes out variety of worldly worries from our body/mind.
Abdullahi ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: -
''If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out
of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him
from where he expects not.'' (Abu Dawud)
In view of this, we should include lots of Istighfar (may be 100 times or more), in our daily Zikr when we sit to remember Allah Ta'ala every morning and evening.
Best Wishes.

الحمد لله الرحمن الرحيم.
All praise is due to Allah, the Most Merciful.
Many people across Egypt recently felt an earthquake that caused concern and anxiety. According to the official preliminary reports, no major casualties or widespread damage were recorded. We ask Allah to protect Egypt and all Muslim lands from every harm.

While Muslims appreciate the scientific explanations behind natural phenomena, we also remember the spiritual lessons that the Qur'an and the Sunnah teach us. Such events are not merely geological occurrences; they are among the signs of Allah that remind us of our weakness and our constant need for Him.

Allah, the Exalted, says:

Quote:"And We send not the signs except as a warning."
(Qur'an 17:59)

Quote:"And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him."
(Qur'an 74:31)

Quote:"The Hour will not be established until... earthquakes become frequent."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

Quote:"If it happens again, I will not remain among you."

Absolutely.
Many people begin learning about Islam by reading the Qur'an.
There is no prohibition against a sincere non-Muslim reading a translation of the Qur'an to understand its message.
Choosing a reputable translation, along with explanatory notes, can make the reading easier and more meaningful.
If you encounter verses that are difficult to understand, don't hesitate to ask questions. Muslims generally appreciate sincere curiosity and respectful dialogue.

Muslims deeply respect Jesus (ʿĪsā, peace be upon him).
They believe he was one of the greatest prophets sent by Allah, born miraculously to the Virgin Mary, performed miracles by God's permission, and called people to worship the One God.
However, Muslims do not believe that Jesus is God or the son of God.
They also believe that Allah saved him from crucifixion and that Jesus will return before the end of time.
Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an many times and is honored by Muslims throughout the world.

No.
A person becomes Muslim by sincerely believing in the One God (Allah) and accepting Muhammad ﷺ as His final Messenger.
This does not require speaking Arabic.
Millions of Muslims around the world are not native Arabic speakers.
Learning Arabic can help a person better understand the Qur'an, but it is not a requirement for embracing Islam.

The best way is to learn from authentic sources.
Start by reading a reliable translation of the Qur'an and learning about the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Do not rely only on social media or news headlines, as they often present incomplete or misleading pictures.
If possible, visit a local mosque, speak with knowledgeable Muslims, and ask any questions you may have.
Sincere questions are always welcome.

Yes.
Islam encourages kindness, hospitality, and good relations with others.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ shared meals with people from different backgrounds, including Jews and others.
Muslims may eat with non-Muslims while observing the dietary rules of Islam, such as avoiding pork and alcohol and ensuring that meat is permissible when required.
Sharing a meal is often one of the best ways to build friendship and mutual understanding.
