Number seven has been mentioned in the stories which were stated in the Quran. In the story of Prophet Nooh (Noah), may Allaah exalt his mention, he asked his people to contemplate on the Creator of the seven heavens. Allaah says (what means):

"See you not how Allaah has created the seven heavens one above another." [Quran 71:15]

The Quran is the eternal miracle of the Prophet, sallAllahu `alayhi wa sallam. It is the Word of Allah which no human anywhere will ever be able to compose something like it at all times and everywhere. Allah challenged the Arabs, who were very eloquent and rhetorically skillful people, to compose something like it, ten chapters or even one chapter. Allah, the Almighty, says (what means):

“Say: "If the mankind and the Jinn were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.”  [Quran 17:88]

Fruits are one of the oldest forms of food known to man. There are many references to fruits in ancient literature. According to Qur’an, the fruits like grape, date, fig, olive and pomegranate are gifts and heavenly fruits of God Fresh and dry fruits are the natural staple food of man. They contain substantial quantities of essential nutrients in a rational proportion.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

"One of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) put up a tent upon a grave without knowing that it was a grave. When he realized that is was a person's grave, he recited Surat Al-Mulk until its completion. Then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [Indeed] I erected my tent without realizing that it was upon a grave. So when I realized there was a person in it I recited Surat Al-Mulk until its completion.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "It is a prevention, it is a salvation delivering from the punishment of the grave.'"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Allah the Exalted said:

وَعِبَادُالرَّحْمَٰنِالَّذِينَيَمْشُونَعَلَىالْأَرْضِهَوْنًاوَإِذَاخَاطَبَهُمُالْجَاهِلُونَقَالُواسَلَامًا

The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say words of peace.

SurahAl-Furqan 25:63

Muslims and Valentine's day
A clarrification and history about this day by Sheikh Mumtaz Ul Haq

Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

Ordinary every day activities can become rewarding acts of worship if a Muslim does them for the sake of pleasing Allah.  Of them, the regular, consistent deeds are best. Allah’s Messenger, may Allah praise him, said, “The deeds most loved by Allah are those done regularly, even if they are minute.” [1]

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

One of the greatest blessings of faith is the fact that everything Allah decrees for the believer, whether in ease or hardship, will be good for him. If he experiences ease, he remains grateful and is rewarded. If he experiences hardship, he remains patient and is rewarded.

Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Someone who claims that he/she loves another will prefer that person to all others, he will also prefer what they like, if it were otherwise then he would be acting and his love would not be sincere.
