Key Themes and Concepts:

1. Manifestations of Allah’s Mercy (Rahmah):

• Allah’s Rahmah is demonstrated through His forgiveness.

• Humans commit sins primarily due to a lack of self-control (Jahalah), not ignorance.

• True repentance (Tawbah) involves acknowledging the wrongdoing, rectifying the error, and sincerely intending to not repeat it.

2. Making Up Missed Worship (Qada):

• If prayers (Salah), fasting, or Zakat were missed, they must be made up.

• Calculation of missed Salah doesn’t require precision; an estimate (ballpark figure) suffices.

• Method suggested: Regularly pray additional Qada prayers after daily obligatory prayers. During Ramadan, Taraweeh prayers can also count toward Qada prayers.

• Allah completes and forgives sincerely intended Qada that remain unfinished at death.

3. Balancing Worship and Social Life:

• Islam discourages isolating oneself from society for the sake of making up missed prayers or worship.

• Worship and daily life can coexist without the need for complete isolation.

4. Understanding of Ayat (Verses):

• Allah repeats reminders through different angles and perspectives (multiple verses addressing the same topic) to foster deeper understanding.

• Rejection of clear signs and reminders characterises criminals (Mujrimin).

5. Rasulullah ﷺ as the “First Muslim”:

• Not chronological but emphasising being foremost in dedication and sincerity.

• Encouragement to excel spiritually and to always strive for the highest reward.
