Faith, Worship, and Social Responsibility  
As with other sacred texts, one of the most important subjects regarding the Qur'an concerns its interpretation or tafsir. As a matter of fact, its language and communicative style require interpretation even for legalistic verses. The fact that the Qur'an is the absolute authority for the Islamic faith increases the importance of its interpretation. Beginning from the early centuries, Muslims developed interpretation methods such as recording the circumstances or historical context of the revelation-known as asbab al-nuzul. Whereas for early scholars, the asbab al-nuzul comprised the most important exegesis of the text-critical explanation or interpretation, later scholars attempted to interpret each verse of the Qur'an by collecting what the Prophet, his companions, and the former scholars had said about each verse. This technique is known as tafsir bi al-riwaya. And finally, Qur'anic scholars began to use their own opinions and the philosophical ideas of their times in interpretation (tafsir bi al-diraya).

Paradise and Hell  

Imagine that you knew the angel of death was coming to you in a few hours. What would your first thought be?

For most of us, it would be: What have I prepared for the next life?!

Doctors today speak of how people are living longer than ever before. In some countries, people live well beyond 90 years of age. Some of us may delay doing good deeds because we think we have a long life ahead of us. But, when Allah speaks of the Day of Judgment, He tells us that people will feel that they've only stayed in the dunya (this life) for a day or part of a day or even an hour. While 90 years is a long time to live, it does not compare to eternity. People will only realize that the next life is truly everlasting when they are standing in front of Allah and are seeing it with their own eyes. This is why the strongest motivation for a believer to do good deeds and stay away from sins, after seeking the pleasure of Allah , is to remember death and the hereafter.

Ingratitude: The other definition of Kufr  
Imam Khalid Latif discusses the importance of thanking others, expressing gratitude for them, and the dangers of being ungrateful. 

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet said, "He has not thanked Allah who has not thanked people." [Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 40, Number 4811]


 

    
Poverty

I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
