The Structural Magnificence of Allah’s Name Detailed

When we think of the name Allah (glory to His name above all), we may think of it as sacred, and look no further. But looking closer at the actual letters of His name, we discover that the Arabic name has properties and meaningful relationships beyond being a name: when analyzed, it is a name deeply imbued with meaning. Allah (glory to Him in the highest) wants us to understand as much as we are able and thus filled all creation with His signs, signs of His majesty and power, as well as Presence in our lives.

Eid Mubarak!

Eid Al-Adha, The Feast of the Sacrifice, commemorates the occasion when Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), in accordance with a dream he saw and interpreted as a divine command, was about to sacrifice his son Isma’il when Allah called him to stop, and replaced Isma’il with a great sacrificial animal, thus sparing the life of his son, a future prophet. There is more to this narrative than meets the eye, more than one usually hears in discussions regarding this event.
