  • Sleep as a Metaphor for Death in Qur’an 39:42: Theological, Neuroscientific, and Philosophical Perspectives

    6 days ago | themuslimtimes.info | Zia Shah

    Qur’an 39:42 presents a striking analogy between sleep and death, using the daily phenomenon of sleep as a miniature model of human mortality. The verse states: “Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep.

  • The Arabic Roots of Al-Rahman and Al-Raheem: Mercy and the Womb in Islam

    1 week ago | themuslimtimes.info | Zia Shah

    The Qur’an opens with an invocation of divine mercy: “Bismillāh Al-Raḥmān Al-Raḥīm” – “In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.” Muslims recite these two Names of God, Al-Rahmān and Al-Raḥīm, continually, yet few pause to ponder their profound roots. Both names derive from the triliteral Arabic root R-Ḥ-M (raḥima), which carries the meaning of mercy, compassion, and tenderness.
