Re: Does anyone have a favorite ayah/surah?
one of the best surah would have to be Al- Buruj (the big stars)
please find the tasfeer of this surah there are a few ahadith that are directly related to this in particular the ayah 'Qutila 'as-habul-'ukhdood'
( cursed were the people of the ditch ( in the story of the boy and the king),
The believers before the time of the prophet muhammad (SAW), who were told that they were to disbelieve in Allah, or they would be thrown into the trench of fire, from the orders of the king in that time, so every believer that believed in Allah alone, threw themselves into the trench, the story continues to a woman who was about to also jump in but hesitated as she had a newborn baby in her arms, when miraculously by the will of allah the baby spoke to her and told her not to fear, as Allah has given you glad tidings of paradise, her told her to jump for you are on the haqq
Subhanallah
There is another story that goes along with it about a man whom could not be killed the same king tried killing this man, in every way imaginable ( because he believed in Allah Alone), until the man being killed said the only way for you to kill me is to draw a ( sword or arrow) and when striking it say "in the name of Allah" this is the only way i can be killed, and he was killed in this way, that is what led the people to believe so strongly in Allah to throw themselves into the trench of fire.
(The previous story)
