By examining the stories of past nations, the response of Pharaoh’s leaders, and familiar examples from everyday life, this episode helps listeners see that the Qur’an is naming the same laws that already govern life: alignment with Allah brings blessing, neglect brings decline, and truth ultimately rises over falsehood.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear

From cheating in the marketplace to silencing truth and forgetting Allah during times of ease, the story of Shuʿayb shows how faith, fairness, and social integrity are deeply connected.

The story of Prophet Hūd is not just about a nation that was destroyed. It is about how hearts drift before endings arrive.

In this episode we explore how Shaytan deceived Adam and Hawwa, and how that same blueprint shapes every temptation we face today. We uncover the psychology behind the whisper, how desire and doubt work together, why Allah said “do not go near the tree,” and how a moment of forgetfulness opens the door to sin. We then contrast Adam’s sincere repentance with Iblis’s pride and learn the real protection from slipping: the inner garment of taqwa. This story is not about the first fall. It is the map of every spiritual struggle we face.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear

In this episode we explore three powerful verses that Ibn Masud called the sealed testament of the Prophet. Allah corrects a mindset that destroys responsibility, teaches us the difference between qadar and accountability, and gives us ten commandments that form the foundation of a healthy heart, a stable home, and a just society. We look at why people accept effort in worldly matters but avoid it in their deen, how these ayat transform character and family life, and how the straight path is the only path that leads to taqwa. This is a call to examine our lives and to realign with the guidance that brings clarity, mercy, and lasting change.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear

We end with a powerful warning against speaking about Allah without knowledge.

In this episode, we explore the justice and mercy of Allah in how He guides, warns, and never holds anyone accountable without clarity. We look at how hearts drift into loss through ignorance, cultural influence, and the beautification of evil, and how knowledge becomes the anchor that protects the soul from misguidance. We then reflect on the Name of Allah, al-Ghani — the One free of need — and what it means for a servant to rely on Him completely and trust the reality of du‘a, even when answers seem delayed. This is an episode about steadying the heart, understanding divine justice, and reconnecting deeply with the One who needs nothing yet gives everything.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
In this episode, we explore how Allah contrasts the one brought to life by faith with the one lost in darkness, and how corrupt voices gain influence in every society. We look at the role of powerful elites, the spiritual laws behind guidance and misguidance, and how Allah opens or constricts the heart based on a person’s choices. These verses take us from the rise of false leaders to the gathering of humans and jinn on the Day of Judgment, where each soul admits the truth it once denied.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
In this episode, we explore how most people build their beliefs on assumptions, emotions, and trends rather than truth, and why real guidance begins with wanting what Allah wants, not demanding signs or comfort. We uncover how shayateen from humans and jinn use decorated speech to make falsehood appear beautiful, and how inward sins distort our ability to recognize guidance. When a believer understands the harm of sin and the justice of revelation, leaving disobedience becomes a conscious choice driven by clarity and love for Allah.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
This episode invites us to pause and recognize the One who creates every detail of our world and manages every stage of our lives with perfect wisdom. From the growth of a single fruit to the movement of the heavens, Allah shows us signs that lead the heart to know Him and ultimately to worship Him. The Qur’an teaches us not to follow blindly, but to reflect, seek proof, and stand on truth. It teaches us to engage others with wisdom, avoid actions that shut the doors of guidance, and guard our own hearts from the consequences of rejecting what is clear. When we understand that Allah alone creates, provides, protects, and directs all affairs, worship becomes not just an obligation but the natural response of a heart that finally sees.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
This episode explores what it truly means to honor Allah: to know our purpose, know our Lord, and take His revelation seriously. We learn from the scholars how denying guidance is an accusation against Allah’s wisdom, and how the Qur’an becomes the believer’s light, grounding the heart in clarity and certainty. Finally, we look at the signs Allah placed in creation — the seed, the light, the order of the universe — and ask ourselves: if He is the One who manages everything, then where am I turning, and why would I turn away from Him?Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
In this episode, we explore Ibrahim’s confidence as he declares his worship of Allah with clarity, knowing only Allah controls harm and benefit. Through insights from Al Tabari, Razi, and Ibn Ashur, we learn how he challenged false beliefs, protected his tawhid, and stood firm even when it cost him his family and community. Allah later replaced what he lost with something far better. We end with the Quranic call to follow the path of the prophets, reminding us that true success comes from knowing Allah, walking with the truth, and trusting that whatever you leave for Him will be replaced with something better.Support Quran in a year podcast-https://donate.raleighmasjid.org/quraninayear
