Welcome to the Quran Gallery blog
A short note on why we built this blog and what you can expect — long-form articles, lecture transcripts, and reflections on the Qur'an.

Author:The Quran Gallery team
This is the new home for long-form writing from the Quran Gallery team and community — articles, lecture transcripts, and reflections (tadabbur) on the Qur’an.
We built this surface to sit alongside our existing tools (reader, memorizer, prayer calendar, listening room) and give the slower, deeper kind of content a proper place to live.
What you’ll find here
Two categories, two rhythms of reading:
- Articles — Researched, long-form essays on a single topic. Aimed at readers who want to sit with a question for 15–30 minutes.
- Reflections — Shorter tadabbur pieces. One verse, one idea, five minutes of your day.

A code example for good measure
Here’s a tiny TypeScript snippet, rendered with Shiki:
// Iterate posts published this month
import { listPosts } from '$lib/posts';
const thisMonth = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 7);
const posts = listPosts().filter((p) => p.date.startsWith(thisMonth));
for (const post of posts) {
console.log(`${post.date} ${post.title}`);
}And an inline <code> span just to prove kerning works.
Heading levels
Third-level heading
Used for subsections within a long article. Clickable anchors auto-generated
by rehype-autolink-headings.
Fourth-level heading
Rare, but useful for deep technical drilling.
Closing
May Allah ﷻ make this a benefit. We’ll see you in the next post.

Reflections Tadabbur of Al-Fātiḥah, verse one Bismillāh ar-Raḥmān ar-Raḥīm — a single verse, three names of God, and the doorway to every sūrah but one. Journey Through Salah Salām: The Words That Release You From the Prayer The salām is not the prayer trailing off — it is the act that ends it, the counterpart to the takbīr that began it. What the words are, how far the head turns, who is actually being greeted, whether one salām or two, and the dhikr the sources place immediately after it. Articles Loving the Messenger, Loving Allah's Beloved The Qur'an does not accept a claim of love for Allah at face value — it appends a test, and that test runs straight through love for His Messenger. What that test actually asks of a believer, and what it promises in return, is not the same thing as feeling moved by his name.
