THE TRUSTWORTHY AAMIR

In the Name of Allāh. I came to learn of a man whose life spanned approximately 56 years. Though his time on this earth was relatively short, he led a life rich in purpose and exemplified admirable virtues.

THE ESSENCE OF SENDING ṢALĀT ON HIM

In the Name of Allāh. An idolater once claimed that Muslims send Ṣalāt (i.e., seek Allāh’s Peace and Blessings) upon Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) due to his many crimes, suggesting he requires Muslims to perpetually seek forgiveness for him.

What an example of some Muslims who value worldly knowledge over knowledge of the Deen, who prioritize the Dunyā over the Ākhirah, and who place more importance on the fleeting pleasures of this life than on the eternal reward of the Hereafter. Why is it that some Muslims possess extensive worldly knowledge yet remain unaware…

A CANCER FOR THE SOUL

In the Name of Allāh. Understanding the true essence of pride is something that can only be comprehended through Allāh and His Messenger.
