Quran Page 25: Signs in Creation, Love for Allah and the Warning Against Satan (Surah Al-Baqarah 164-169)

-

📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 25)

In Page 25, Allah (SWT) directs our attention to the universe. Verse 164 is a magnificent list of natural wonders—the alternation of night and day, the sailing ships, the rain that gives life to the earth, and the movement of the winds—all serving as signs for people of understanding. The page then warns that while some take rivals besides Allah, the believers are "strongest in love for Allah." It concludes with a stern warning not to follow the footsteps of Satan, who only commands evil and immorality.

🕌 Arabic Text (Page 25)

🌍 English Translation (Sahih International)

164. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea... and the water which Allah sends down from the sky... are signs for a people who use reason.

165. And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah...

167. ...Thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.

168. O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

169. He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allah what you do not know.

Khuṭuwāt (خُطُوَاتِ) Footsteps or paths.
Tajwid Rule Al-Madd al-Muttasil: In verse 164, look at the word "As-Samā'" (السَّمَاءِ). The long vowel is followed by a Hamza in the same word. This must be stretched for 4 or 5 counts. Also, observe the Idgham in "Ummatan Wasatan" (from the previous page's lessons).

"Those who believe are stronger in love for Allah." — Let the Quran guide your heart.

In June 2023, when Rajan Anandan, a venture capitalist and former CEO of Google India, posed the query about the possibility of building a similar OpenAI or ChatGPT, Sam Altman replied it was "Hopeless" and "Impossible". Cut to 2025, Deepseek happened, and today people run their own LLMs on modest hardware configurations. I can humbly attest that Deepseek R1 can run on modest desktops and desktops with GPUs such as GTX 970 to RTX 4070 Super. Why Run LLMs Locally? Data Privacy and Security : For some organizations, the sensitivity of the data they're working with necessitates keeping it on-premises. Local hosting reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access since data remains within the organization’s control. Customization and Control : Running LLMs locally allows for greater control over model configuration and fine-tuning. Organizations can tailor the models to better meet their specific needs and integrate them more seamlessly with their existing...

Meaning of Summa Ameen

-
Image
The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

 We've been familiar with the idea ease and convenience of voice activated timer either on Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Home/Siri. However, to get it working on Home Assistant (HA), isnt achieved without a bit of nerd-ish satisfaction to exercise and see the designing and realization of the design come to life. A bit of a background The Talking to Assist feature in home assist, "set a timer for 5 minutes" does start a timer, however you need some device connected to HA to let you know that the timer has completed. That was not what i was not very excited about, one more device to make it work, hmmm , not my stuff. To set the scope, the requirement needs to be defined clearly, hence the designing process was triggered. Requirement(s):  1, Start a timer with voice command for specified time ( hours, minutes and seconds ) 2. Play a ringing sound once the timer is done. 3. Stop the ringing sound on stop voice command. The Design : Part Starting Timer (Automation 1) The de...
