It is not shocking that Sa’īd Ibn Zayd (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) instantaneously attested to the Oneness of Allāh and the Messengership of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) and thus became one of those who first embraced Islām. Of course, he grew up in a home where idols were rejected. Sa’īd’s story is closely tied to his father, Zayd…
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. He was among the ‘Asharah al-Mubashsharūn (the ten companions who were given glad tidings of Paradise in…
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. How amusing! This reflects a disgraceful level of ignorance. Truly, ignorance and inanity are the roots of…
In the Name of Allāh. Our reality here is real, just as the existence of life beyond this one is also real, accompanied by various challenges. The ultimate destination — be it Paradise or Hell — rests upon an individual’s choices. Should we merely wish for Paradise without encountering trials along the way? Be cautious,…
THE ISLĀMIC APPROACH TO TRAVEL PREPARATION In the Name of Allāh.

In the Name of Allāh. The blessed day of Jumu’ah is a moment of communal prayer and grace in the Masjid, the House of Allāh. But despite its importance, some Muslims still make mistakes when performing the rites and rituals on this holy day. One of the mistakes that should be avoided is failing to…
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…
In the Name of Allāh. Understanding the true essence of pride is something that can only be comprehended through Allāh and His Messenger. Consider this narration: ‘Abdullāh Ibn Mas’ud reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) stated, “No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.” When a man…
In the Name of Allāh. At times, it becomes difficult for individuals to muster the necessary courage when facing trials.
