Ramadan Gems: Daily Meditations on the Meanings of the Quran’s Thirty Ajiza The 15th Juz— Al Isra to Al Kahf 74 (17:1-18:74) The Amazing Journey From Darkness into Light Assalamu alaykum brothers and sisters. A key element in the 15th juz is the movement from darkness into light. It’s expressed in several different ways: · The Night Journey (Al-Isra’) took Prophet Muhammad (saws) from Makkah to Jerusalem, showing him amazing wonders. After this came Al-Mi’raj, the ascension to the seventh Heaven. Our prophet was removed from the darkness of night to be given a series of illuminating revelations. [17:1] · We’re taught that nonbelievers will be resurrected as deaf and blind, just as they were spiritually blind when they chose the darkness of unbelief. [17:97] · Prophet Musa (as) found a teacher willing to bring him from the darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge. [18:66] · Allah’s gift of the Quran is the ultimate beacon in the darkness of the dunya! [7:82] Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. [Quran, 17:1] Today in shaa Allah I will make a conscious decision to move from darkness into light, by seeking clear teaching, believing, obeying, and being ever ready to be lead by Allah (swt) to wherever He chooses to take me. Ameen.
