The “Miracle Parrot” who recites verses from the Holy Quran




We all love talking parrots and we get so overwhelmed even hearing them say ‘hi’ in their squeaky voice. We have often seen many videos of talking parrots on social media sites. To see a parrot reciting the Quranic verses made the people watch it over and over again and share it on social media.[irp]

Recently a video of a parrot reciting Quranic verses, therefore, went viral. The grey parrot was being called ‘miracle parrot’ by the people.  The owner of the parrot, Jordanian Hussain Al Sawalme gave a statement to the Reuters saying, “It took a long time to train him, we started with a few words at first, then full sentences and eventually decided to teach him to recite verses from the Holy Quran.”

Hussain is a technician at a dental lab and a true bird lover. On the question of how the bird is able to recite the verses so fluently, Hussain told the Reuters, “The Casco (Grey Parrot) bird is one of the smartest in the world and has an incredible ability to imitate sounds and voices, it's truly miraculous.”

Masha Allah, what a wonderful thing to teach to a parrot. No doubt that this act has filled our hearts with joy and faith. The social media commented on this parrot in different ways. Most of the social media was filled with Masha Allah, the people absolutely loved this activity and shared the video with their friends and family.

Everyone did have one thing to say, and that was, “La Illaha ila Allah.” The sharing of such statuses with the video felt wonderful. Later on, people started sharing videos of other parrots reciting the Quranic verses. Some even added that this is not the first parrot to do such an act.

Whether it was the first parrot or not, the video was absolutely amazing and overwhelming with faith. It reminds us that Allah has created brilliant things and that His creations are capable of doing so much more than we know. He is all-knowing and the creator of such creations is flawless in all aspects.

However, personally, I didn’t like the idea. The amount of time he has spent on a parrot could have been spent on a productive thing. I remember from the books of history, I read a story of a parrot who memorized the entire Holy Quran.

When the parrot was presented to a Mughal King, he called for the people who had memorized the Holy Quran to test the memory of the parrot. Once parrot was successful in the test and the owner was expecting some rewards in the return, the King ordered his people to kill the parrot.

He told the owner that he should have done something productive in this time. He could have taught verses of Holy Quran to thousands of Muslim children in that time.

Why do Dogs start Barking (Howling) at the time of Azan ?

Q uestions: Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I’ve noticed very often. A nswer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see. Abu Dawud reported in his Sunan that Jabir Ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:” If you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys by night, seek refuge in Allah, as they see what you cannot see”. Albani and others classified this Hadith as authentic. In Sahih Al Jamie’, following the above Hadith is stated: ..’And reduce going out when it is quiet( when everybody is indoors at night time) as Allah diffuses by night what He wishes among His Creation, and lock your doors and mention the Name of Allah on them as ...

Teen who was forced into marriage sentenced to death for killing husband as he raped her

A 19-year-old Sudanese woman who was forced to marry against her will has been sentenced to death for fatally stabbing her husband while he raped her. The case of Noura Hussein, who has said that she was held down by her husband’s relatives as he raped her, has sparked a nationwide discussion in a country where forced marriages are widespread — children can married off by their families at age 10 — and marital rape is legal. On Thursday, a judge in Omdurman sentenced Hussein to death after her husband’s family refused options to pardon her or accept financial compensation and demanded her execution instead. Hussein, who was forcibly married off by her father at the age of 15, had escaped her husband’s clutches for three years by running away from home and living with an aunt. But after she was deceived into returning home, her father turned her over to her husband’s family who then aided in her rape after she refused to consummate the marriage. HORRIFIC!!! “Forced to marr...
