The Miraculous Symmetry between Surah Qasas And Surah Yusuf

Things I have noticed while reflecting on the story of Yusuf (A.S) and the story of Musa (A.S), while comparing Sura Yusuf and Sura Qasas. I thought it beneficial to share.

1. The story of Yusuf makes you wonder why the mom was never mentioned; the story of Musa makes you wonder why the dad was never mentioned

2. Yusuf story begins with the interaction between father and son; Musa story begins with the interaction between mother and son

3. In Yusuf story, his siblings were the reason Yusuf got separated from his family; In Musa story, his sibling was the reason Musa got reunited with his family

4. In Yusuf story, the siblings convinced their dad INTELLECTUALLY to let go of Yusuf; In Musa story, Allah convinced the mom EMOTIONALLY to let go of Musa

5. In Yusuf story, the dad (who IS a prophet) was NEVER told if he will ever reunite with his son; in Musa story, the mom (who is NOT a prophet) was told that she WILL reunite

with her son 6. In Yusuf story, the dad cries tears of sadness; in Musa story, the mom cries tears

of happiness 7. Yusuf got dumped in a standing water (well); Musa got dumped in a flowing water

(River)

8. Yusuf was brought to his new house by a male figure (Egypt’s minister); Musa was brought to his new house by a female figure (Pharaoh’s wife)

9. In Yusuf story, the minister told his wife to either take him as a slave or as an adopted son; In Musa story, pharaoh’s wife told her husband to either take him as a slave or as an adopted son

10. In Yusuf story, I expected the minister’s wife to take Yusuf as a son, because they never had kids, but he was taken as a slave instead; In Musa story, I expected the pharaoh to take Musa as a slave, because he was an Israelite, but he was taken as an adopted son instead

11. Yusuf’s life changed from a life of dignity. to a life of slavery; Musa’s life changed from

a life of slavery to a life of dignity 12. In Sura Yusuf, Allah mentions that he gave Yusuf wisdom and knowledge; in Sura Qasas, Allah mentions that he gave Musa

wisdom and knowledge

13. Yusuf was also given an exceptional trait (Looks): Musa was also given an exceptional trait (Strength)

14. Yusuf got into trouble with the Minister’s wife because of his exceptional trait (looks);

Musa got into trouble with the authority because of his exceptional trait (strength) 15. The crime that was about to happen to Yusuf was private in nature; the crime that happened to Musa was public in nature 16. The crime that was about to happen to Yusuf was the killing of a soul (Zina);

The crime that happened to Musa was the killing of a body (murder) 17. Yusuf sought refuge of Allah before the

crime happened; Musa sought refuge of Allah after the crime happened 18. Yusuf, who was innocent, ended up getting detained by the law; Musa, who was guilty, ended up fleeing the law

19. Yusuf, while in Jail, was approached by 2 men; Musa, while fleeing, approaches 2 women 20. Yusuf’s story continues with only one

man: Musa’s story continues with only one woman 21. In Yusuf’s story, Allah teaches us how

a man and a woman should NOT come

together; In Musa’s story, Allah teaches us how a man and a woman SHOULD come together 22. In Yusuf’s story, an EXPECTED friend

got him out of his trial (Jail) after YEARS: In Musa’s story, an UNEXPECTED friend got him out of his trial (being killed) after DAYS 23. In Yusuf’s story, we learn that his friend came to help him because of a SELFISH reason (he wanted to be acknowledged

by the King for the interpretation of the King’s dream); in Musa’s story, we learn that his friend came to help him because of a

SELFLESS reason (he was afraid that Musa will be killed by the authorities) 24. Yusuf helps out the 2 cell-mates by giving Da’wah to them (The power of words), Musa helps out the 2 women by

feeding their sheep (The power of action) 25. In Yusuf’s story, Yusuf expected a favor from his cell-mate, but it did not come immediately, In Musa’s story, Musa did not

expect a favor from the 2 women, but it came immediately 26. Yusuf returns to the court and faces the King, Musa returns to the court and faces

the King 27. In Yusuf’s story, a confession happens (the women who wronged Yusuf admitted their faults); In Musa’s story, a confession happens (Musa himself admitted his fault)

28. Yusuf gets honored by the King; Musa gets humiliated by the King 29. In Yusuf story, we learn that Yusuf got reunited with his brother (Benjamin); In

Musa story, we learn that Musa got reunited with his brother (Haroon) 30. In Sura Yusuf, Benjamin remained silent; In Sura Qasas, Haroon remained silent

31. In Yusuf story, there was a Sajdah (Yusuf’s family prostrating themselves after being reunited); In Musa’s story, there was a Sajdah (The magicians who lost to Musa) 32. The story of Yusuf answers the question

of how the Israelites came to Egypt: The story of Musa answers the question of how the Israelites left Egypt

SubhanAllah! If this symmetry is not a miracle of the Quran, then I don’t know what is.

How to prevent from Attack of Satan


Steps to Prevent Shaitan


ABDUL SAMAD NIZAMANI
From Quran answer what are steps to prevent attack of shaitan with reference

In the Quran, there are several verses that mention ways to prevent the attack of Shaitan (Satan). Here are some steps mentioned in the Quran:

Seek refuge in Allah: One of the most effective ways to protect oneself from the influence of Shaitan is to seek refuge in Allah. This is mentioned in Surah An-Nahl, verse 98, which says, “So when you recite the Qur’an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].”

Recite Quran: Recitation of the Quran is another powerful tool to ward off the influence of Shaitan. Surah Al-Isra, verse 82, says, “And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.”

Remember Allah: Remembering Allah through regular remembrance and supplication can help keep Shaitan at bay. Surah Al-A’raf, verse 200, says, “And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.”

Be mindful of one’s actions and intentions: One should be mindful of their actions and intentions, as Shaitan can take advantage of any weaknesses or negative tendencies. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 168, says, “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.”

Seek forgiveness: Seeking forgiveness from Allah for one’s sins and shortcomings can also help prevent the influence of Shaitan. Surah Al-A’raf, verse 23, says, “They said, ‘Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.'”

These are just a few of the steps mentioned in the Quran to prevent the attack of Shaitan. Following these guidelines can help protect oneself from the influence of Shaitan and lead to a more righteous and fulfilling life.

  2. Make habits obvious: Set up your environment in a way that makes it easy to perform your desired habits. For example, if you want to exercise in the morning, lay out your workout clothes the night before.
  3. Use habit stacking: Attach a new habit to an existing habit to make it easier to remember. For example, if you want to start flossing your teeth, do it right after you brush your teetho.
  4. Make habits attractive: Create a reward system for yourself to make your habits more appealing. For example, if you finish a work task, allow yourself to check social media for a few minutes.
  5. Make habits easy: Reduce the friction associated with your habits to make them easier to perform. For example, if you want to start running, invest in a good pair of running shoes.
  6. Use temptation bundling: Pair an enjoyable activity with a habit you want to adopt. For example, only allow yourself to watch your favorite TV show while exercising.
  7. Make habits satisfying: Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, to reinforce the positive feelings associated with your habits. For example, if you complete a workout, take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the effort you put in.

How do you prevent SQL injection attacks when writing MySQL queries in PHP?

SQL injection attacks are a common security threat in web applications that rely on user input to construct SQL queries. Here are some techniques I would use to prevent SQL injection attacks when writing MySQL queries in PHP:

  1. Prepared Statements: Prepared statements are one of the most effective ways to prevent SQL injection attacks. By using prepared statements, SQL queries and user input are separated, which prevents malicious input from being executed as part of the query.
  2. Input Validation: Input validation is a critical step in preventing SQL injection attacks. By validating user input and ensuring that it meets the expected format and requirements, I can prevent malicious input from being executed.
  3. Sanitization: Sanitizing user input can also help prevent SQL injection attacks. By removing special characters and escape sequences from user input, I can prevent malicious input from being executed as part of the query.
  4. Limiting User Privileges: Limiting the privileges of the MySQL user used by the application can also help prevent SQL injection attacks. By using a user account with limited privileges, I can prevent attackers from executing dangerous queries.

Overall, by using these techniques and following best practices, I can effectively prevent SQL injection attacks when writing MySQL queries in PHP.
