وَإِذۡ يَرۡفَعُ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلۡ مِنَّآۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ (127)
And when Ibrahim raised up the foundations of the House, and Ismael, Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the the Hearing, the Knowing (127)
The foundation, and their continuation of this great work
And how was their condition of fear and hope, so that they - with this work - prayed to God to accept their work from them, so that he would make it a general benefit.
A look at the verse
1- Each of us does some righteous deeds, whether small or large, and we forget this supplication that was mentioned in the verse, so the lesson is in working with sincerity and following the Sunnah, and the Sunnah of Ibrahim has followers as well as the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - but after completing the work it is possible for us to turn to God Almighty with this supplication, because we do not know whether we have been exposed to hypocrisy in it - God forbid, or arrogance, and they are among the frustrations of work, so one of the best things is that we return to this supplication after any work.
2 - The Virgin Mary: In her supplication (and accept it with good acceptance), she understood that acceptance has levels like the levels of a student at the exam result.
3- And the two sons of Adam, deeds will be accepted from one of them and it will not be accepted from the other. So the lesson is to accept, not only with sincerity and following the Sunnah.
It must be noted that Mecca is not located in the middle of the earth
There is a theory that has been circulating for months, not years, that the Kaaba is the center of the earth and nothing can fly over it. Now it has gone viral on Whatsapp too, some people known as televangelists have attempted to lend credence to these kinds of myths in their speeches and pamphlets, nothing in the Qur'an describes the Kaaba in these terms. The Holy Quran describes it as the qiblah that Muslims turn to during prayer. The Grand Mosque surrounding it was considered a sacred precinct, the sanctity of which no one may violate.
Giving scientific attributes such as being a center of gravity and having a magnetic pull is purely a figment of the imagination of some apologists who try to exaggerate things and add scientific values to holy places that they simply don't have. Islam does not need miracles to prove its sincerity.
The viral content says: “The Kaaba is the center of the earth. It is located in the center of the earth without any deviation or deformation. Because it is the center of gravity, it naturally attracts magnetic charges in this place. This is the first point to welcome the sunrise.
The changing of global standards
Some Muslims go further and propose fixing Mecca as zero degree longitude and drawing a new international date line and starting a new "Mecca time". This is a call to change the time standards followed around the world that have been around for centuries.
Let's take a deeper look at these theories
It is now universally agreed upon that the Earth is perfectly spherical like any sphere, like an orange which is slightly depressed at two ends called the poles. If something is spherical, its center should be inside, deep in its core, not on the surface. One can always put a point on the sphere and claim that it is the center of the sphere. No one can really contradict. The case of Mecca being the center of the earth is just such a case. Other individuals may likewise claim that Rome, or Ayodhya, or Jerusalem are centers of the earth and no one will be able to rival them, because the radii of all these cities go directly to the core of the earth.
رَبَّنَا وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا مُسۡلِمَيۡنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ أُمَّةٗ مُّسۡلِمَةٗ لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبۡ عَلَيۡنَآۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ (128)
Our Lord, and make us Muslims for You, and among our descendants a Muslim nation for You, and show us our rites, and repent of us because you are repent of the repentance (8)
They prayed for themselves and their offspring to Islam, whose reality is the submission of the heart and its submission to its Lord, which includes the submission of the limbs.” And show us our rituals, meaning: We taught them in the face of will and witnessing, to be more informative. It is possible that what is meant by the rituals is: all the acts of Hajj, as indicated by the context and the place. It is possible that what is meant is: what is greater than that, which is the whole religion, and all acts of worship, as indicated by the generality of the word, because rituals: devotion, but the pilgrimage worshipers have been dominated by custom, so the result of their supplication is due to success for beneficial knowledge and good deeds, and since the servant - whatever he is - must be dereliction and he needs to repent, they said: “And repent to us, for You are the Most Merciful.”
The rites
It is the plural of “mansak,” which means the place in which one performs asceticism to God, and draws near to Him in a righteous deed that pleases Him, either with a sacrifice, either by praying, circumambulating, or seeking, and other good deeds; That is why it was said that the feelings of Hajj are its rituals, because they are signs and signs that people get used to.
The origin of the ritual in the speech of the Arabs
The usual place that a man gets used to and gets used to, it is said: For so-and-so is her rituals, and that is if he has a place that he gets used to, for good or bad. That is why the rituals are called rituals, because they are frequented and frequented during Hajj and Umrah, and the deeds by which he draws closer to God. It has been said that the meaning of the ascetic is the worship of God, and that the ascetic is called a hermit because of the worship of his Lord.

رَبَّنَا وَٱبۡعَثۡ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ (129)
Our Lord, send among them a Messenger from among them who will recite Your verses to them, and teach them the books and the wisdom, and purify them. Indeed, You are the Mighty, the Wise (129)
Our Lord, and send among them,” that is, among our offspring, “a Messenger from among them.” to be higher to their degree, and to be led by him, and to know him the truth of knowledge.
"recite to them your verses"
Literally, memorize, and memorize, “and teach them the Book and wisdom” meaning, “and purify them” by educating them on good deeds and abstaining from bad deeds, with which one does not purify oneself
“Indeed, You are the Mighty,” that is, the Omnipotent of all things, Whose power is not withheld by anything.
The wise one who puts things in their rightful place.
By your might and wisdom, send this messenger to them.
That is why he said, peace and blessings be upon him
"I am the call of my father Abraham"
A look at the verse
Among Abraham's supplications - peace be upon him - for the people of the Two Holy Mosques: that he sends among them (in this particular region) from the geography of the earth, a messenger who does 4 things with them:
1- Recite your verses to them: The verse is the sign that indicates good or distancing from evil, so this is the first thing that someone can offer to someone when seeking guidance,
The remembrance of his life
2- He teaches them the book: from the rulings of recitation or devotional rulings, so that the worshiper knows it as he knows the most memorized book in his life.
3 - Wisdom: extracted from this book, and the function of wisdom is to shorten the way to reach your goal from the shortest and purest way, so learn the wisdom behind things, a blessing above the blessing of education itself, and whoever possesses wisdom has possessed a great deal of good and he does not know.
4 - Then comes the last stage, which is purification, and the purification of hearts that are the object of God's gaze - the Almighty - and the question here: Why did we reverse the verse, so we begin with what our Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - ended with, we begin by teaching jurisprudence to the young, and one of them speaks to you of jurisprudence that you may not know, and hearts have not imbibed this knowledge properly, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.
وَمَن يَرۡغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ وَلَقَدِ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَٰهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ (130)
And whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham, except he who makes himself foolish, and I have selected him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous (130)
{And whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham}
The Almighty means that he mentioned it by saying: {And whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham} and which people abandons the religion of Abraham and leaves it, desiring it for something else, God only meant the Jews and Christians because they chose what they chose from Judaism and Christianity over Islam; because the sect of Abraham is the Hanefi Muslim.
About Qatada
The Jews and Christians turned away from his religion, and took Judaism and Christianity as a heresy that is not from God, and they left the religion of Abraham - meaning Islam - upright, likewise God sent His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the religion of Abraham.
A look at the verse
1 - God Almighty called women and children (foolish) and the foolish is: he who does not manage money well, he will be mentioned in Surat Al-Nisa, God willing, in detail and with studies that most women are foolish in spending money.
2- Foolish means ignorant: in both cases (failure to dispose of money correctly or ignorance) none of the strong, sane men or from sane women to be characterized by this characteristic, including:
3- Whoever turns away from the religion of Ibrahim (the tolerant Hanifiyah) is like an ignorant person or acts like children
4- God chooses whom He wills from His servants, and it is a selection that does not involve favouritism. If you own a project and have relatives working with you in the same field, you may have promoted one of them to a position while he does not deserve it, here, all eyes are directed to you. You favor your neighbor. As for God - the Almighty - when He chose Abraham - peace be upon him - great trials befell him, all people witnessed it, in His time and after that the selection was completed, and here you must stand to glorify God Almighty that he does not favor anyone and has no interest in anyone - and he does not care about slandering or praising anyone, and yet he does not favor anyone.
5 - He will also be among the righteous in the Hereafter. This rank (the rank of the righteous) he raised in this world, and its result will be in the Hereafter.
6- And whoever desires: It comes from desires, so your desire is to do the opposite of what Abraham did - peace be upon him - which is success in faith tests, for those who claim to be believers, it is not easy, it is not easy, but empty words that God does not count, so what are the easiest sayings and the most severe actions, and the evidence: that the infidels of Quraysh rejected the word of monotheism even though it is only a sentence of 4 words, because they are people of instinct and people of a sound Arab saliqa who know that the word has an actual meaning on the ground of reality, and the men are according to their words.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥٓ أَسۡلِمۡۖ قَالَ أَسۡلَمۡتُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ (131)
When his Lord said to him, “submit to Islam.” He said, “I submit to the Lord of the Worlds.” (131)
And the interpretation of the words
And We have chosen him in this world. When his Lord told him to embrace Islam, he said: I have submitted to the Lord of the Worlds. So he mentioned the name “Allah” when he said: {When his Lord said to him, “Be safe”} on the face of the news from the absent.
A look at the verse
God said to him, “Be submit to Islam.” He said, “I have submited to the Lord of the worlds.” And the matter is over, how reluctant we are, when God Almighty commands us to do something, we linger, change, think and deny, then perhaps we do, First, we do, in the end, how merciful our Lord is to us, that He does not hold us accountable for what He took His anpure sicere friend Ibrahim - peace be upon him - for.
وَوَصَّىٰ بِهَآ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعۡقُوبُ يَٰبَنِيَّ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصۡطَفَىٰ لَكُمُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ (132)
And he enjoined it upon Abraham, his sons, and Jacob, his sons. Indeed, God has chosen religion for you, do not die except as Muslims (132)
My son, God has chosen you
That is, do not leave this religion, which is Islam, during the days of your life. And that is because no one knows when his death will come to him, so they said to them: {Do not die unless you are Muslims} because you do not know when your dreams will come to you by night or by day, do not leave Islam, lest your death come upon you, while you are on other than the religion that your Lord has chosen for you, so you die, and your Lord is angry with them.
A look at the verse
1- It is part of the honor of God - the Most High - for Abraham that He made his children the ones he obtained after the worldly deprivation of having children until he reached eighty years of age guidance and prophecy were in his children and grandchildren, and their fragrant biography until the Day of Judgment by reading the Qur’an and the prophecy of Ismail’s grandson - peace be upon him (Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace), and the good remains until the day God inherits the earth and those on it.
2- When would you recommend something to someone? When you fear that it will be lost from him or that someone will take it from him by force, this is the world of people, but in God’s law the commandment is a religion and money that is calculated in the manner that God wanted for His servants.
3- The person closest to the truth is at the time of his death. No matter how much a person has lied throughout his life, he will never lie to himself in these moments, and each of us is dear to him in this life, the most precious things in life are children and grandchildren, and your bequest to them must be a depository bequest. The question here is: How many of us, as Muslims, bid farewell to our children and grandchildren with the bequest of the relgion? we are Muslims by name except for those on whom God has mercy. We all claim that we will bequeath, and the truth is that it is part of a person’s livelihood that he can bequeath something great before death
4- His saying, Almighty, “I have chosen for you the religion.” We agreed that choosing is selection and choice, and the more you know and expand, the better things you will choose for your relatives, children, and grandchildren specifically, what do we care about the knowledge of God - the Most High - and that He knows that at the end of time there will be from earthly religions to those who will come at the end of the twenty-first century, approximately 4000 earthly religion and the Qur’an is recited and preserved in the hearts of the believers until the Day of Judgment, and this verse is recited among those who are recited, so let the brother of Islam know the brother of humanity, God chose this religion, and you have to choose too.
أَمۡ كُنتُمۡ شُهَدَآءَ إِذۡ حَضَرَ يَعۡقُوبَ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ إِذۡ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِيۖ قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ إِلَٰهَكَ وَإِلَٰهَ ءَابَآئِكَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗا وَنَحۡنُ لَهُۥ مُسۡلِمُونَ (133)
Were you witnesses when Jacob came to death, He said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, we worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham, Ismael and Isaac, one God and to Him we are Muslims (133).
It is well known that they did not attend Jacob, because they did not exist yet. If they did not attend, God told him that he had recommended his sons to be Hanefiyyah, not to Judaism, , that is, you did not attend that. So do not supplicate against my prophets and messengers of vanity, and let them be converted to Judaism and Christianity, for I have sent my friend Abraham and his sons Isaac and Ismail and their descendants with the Hanifiyyah of Islam, and with that they bequeathed to their children, and with it they entrusted them to their children after them, If you attend them and hear from them, you will know that they are not or not remove them from religions and sects after them.
A look at the verse
Of course, we were not witnesses to this event. Among the great events in life are the moments of the beginning of life and the moments of its end, especially this event that we did not witness, but we are certain of its occurrence in this manner in which God - the Most High - spoke to us if we did not watch with our own eye, We hear with our ears as if we see, and a person in the moments of his death is preoccupied with what he has been preoccupied with throughout his life. Some of us want his rights from those who wronged him in these moments, and some of us think about his children, his business, his religion, etc. Here is the guardian of Jacob - peace be upon him with religion - what he lived on from seeing his children (the tribes) and the loss of their morals with their brother Joseph - peace be upon him - and his trials that he lived through in his life, the witness: Some of us want to die on the prayer mat, and some of us want to die in the Kaaba and be buried in Al-Baqi, and the strange thing is that each of us has a different death in different places, and what you contemplate, you may have taken it or took it more honorable or less than it, but did you notice the death of the prophets, here Jacob - peace be upon him - it seems that he died on his bed and surrounded by his children and grandchildren, my brother, do not wish for a specific death, ask God for a good ending, and it is enough for Him to choose - Glory be to Him - what He wants for whomever He wants.
تِلۡكَ أُمَّةٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡۖ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتۡ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبۡتُمۡۖ وَلَا تُسۡـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ (134)
This nation has passed away, it is for them what it has earned, and for you is what you has earned and you will not be asked about what they used to do (134)
whatever good you do, and for you, Jews and Christians, the same is what you did. And do not be held accountable, O slanderers, for what you have slandered them out of boredom, they asked what Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their son used to do and earn from good and bad, because every soul has what it has earned, and it has what it has earned. So stop impersonating them and impersonating their denominations, for lawsuits will not avail you with God, Indeed, what has preceded for you in favor of your deeds will avail you, if you did them and presented them.
A look at the verse
1- The nation: it is a group of people united by common historical ties, there may be something linguistic, religious or economic in it, and they have common goals in terms of belief, politics or economics.
2 - The nation of Jacob and his sons and grandchildren, passed on and delivered its papers and awaits the resurrection and resurrection on the Day of Judgment, and it has what it earned in its life, and today is our turn, and tomorrow is the turn of our children, and the day after tomorrow is the turn of our grandchildren, God willing, and each of us has a past, present, or future (earning in faith)
3- You will not be asked about what they did, and they will not be asked about what you do. Let each of us be preoccupied with his internal papers as much as possible.
