A Supplication (ایک دعا)

اللهُ الشَّافِي اللهُ الكَافِي اللهُ المُعَافِي

'Allah is the Healer, Allah is the Sufficient, Allah is the One who grants well-being.' This is a blessed supplication for healing and well-being, transmitted through the chain of the righteous.

Among the People of the Book There Is a Good Community (اہل کتاب میں ایک جماعت اچھی)

لَيْسُوا سَوَاءً مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أُمَّةٌ قَائِمَةٌ يَتْلُونَ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ

'They are not all alike. Among the People of the Book there is a community that stands (in prayer), reciting the verses of Allah during the hours of the night, and they prostrate' (Al-Imran 3:113). The Qur'an itself acknowledges that not all non-Muslims are the same — among the People of the Book there have always been those who sincerely sought the truth and practised righteousness. This nuanced recognition is part of the Qur'an's comprehensive moral vision.

Muslims Must Believe in All Prophets (مسلمانوں کا تمام پیغمبروں کو ماننا)

A distinguishing feature of Islam is that Muslims are required to believe in and respect all the prophets of Allah — from Adam to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them all). No Muslim may reject or disrespect any prophet. This comprehensive acceptance of all divine messengers is itself a sign of Islam's universality.
