In the Name of Allāh. When kindness and compassion are put aside, cruelty reigns instead. There are stories of woe, of oppression, as some husbands, the very men entrusted with the care of their wives, turn a blind eye to the Wisdom of Allāh and embrace the dark arts of cruelty and mistreatment. We’ve seen…
In the Name of Allāh. Alas, in this day and age, the voices of falsehood ring loud and clear. We are seeing ignorant people disguising themselves as learned ones, speaking in Allāh’s Name with no authority whatsoever, misinterpreting textual evidence, deceiving the masses, and leading them astray from the straight path. How many fall prey…
In the Name of Allāh. As reported, five men from the tribe of Hāshim strikingly resembled the Prophet (ﷺ) that they were often mistaken for him. These people are As-Saib Ibn Ubayd; the fourth grandfather of Imām Ash-Shāfi’ī, Al-Ḥasan Ibn ‘Alī; the grandson of the Prophet (ﷺ) who resembled him most of all, Abū Sufyān…
In the Name of Allāh. Life is but a fleeting abode, a mist that dissipates in the morning sun. Heed this reminder, and let it ring loudly in your ears. Verily, no matter how high your towers of success and achievement, no matter how strong the walls of your worldly accomplishments, death will find you,…
In the Name of Allāh. It amazes me how some people fall into the trap of arrogance and self-confidence, thinking they are self-sufficient and that they even need no help from the Creator in certain issues because they have done the human needful. But what folly is this? As the Qur’ān reminds us, all of…
In the Name of Allāh. O men who lack protective jealousy for their wives! Heed the clarion call of Islām, which proclaims the sanctity and dignity of women. You betray their trust, and you abandon your sacred duty, allowing your wives to be exposed to the evil of non-Maḥram men. Your homes, once a place…
In the Name of Allāh. The lure of wealth, the intoxication of greed, they seduce the unwary, leading them astray, step by step, until they find themselves lost in a wilderness of sin, far from the light of righteousness, far from the path of salvation. Yet, those who indulge in unlawful wealth-making may be blind…
In the Name of Allāh. Verily, part of the legacy of the Prophet (ﷺ) was to gather his companions in the Masjid after Fajr or ‘Asr prayer in the stillness of knowledge, of understanding, of learning. What good is a Muslim by name alone, who clings to the shell of Islām, but neglects the pearl…
In the Name of Allāh. Perfect Praise is to Him for the blessing of Islām. Actually, there is an age-long argument on the validity of Jumu’ah Khutbah (Friday sermon) in non-Arabic language. This is so, for Islām not to be seen as a blind faith that does not give recognition to people’s situation. Anyway, the…
In the Name of Allāh. Verily, while some of us already know how powerful and important standing for the night prayer (Qiyām al-Layl or Tahajjud) is, many still don’t. The benefits of Qiyām al-Layl are: It’s a means of entering Jannah, a sign of sincerity, and it also reveals the hypocrisy of people because a…
