BE CAREFUL WITH THEM

In the Name of Allāh. Can you imagine the ones you consider the “learned” of Islām who perform Magic (which is Shirk), listen to music, engage in unlawful sexual activities, consume intoxicants, abandon prayer, involved in one Bid’ah (heretic innovation) or the other and enjoin people to commit serious transgressions like consuming human blood or…

RICH AND KIND ‘ABDUR-RAḤMĀN

In the Name of Allāh. Let’s talk about a great companion. He is ‘Abdur-Raḥmān Ibn ‘Awf Ibn Al-Harith Ibn Zuhrah Ibn Kulab Ibn Murah Ibn Ka’b Ibn Lu’ayy (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu). He was given birth to in Makkah 10 years after the year of Elephant (when the Prophet [ﷺ] was given birth to). ‘Abdur-Raḥmān Ibn ‘Awf is…

IT MAKES YOU LIVE FOREVER

In the Name of Allāh. Do you know that an ignorant is dead even before his death whilst a learned continues to exist even after death? Verily, knowledge makes a person be remembered forever. Since when had people like Imām Bukhārī, Imām Muslim, Imām Tirmidhī, Imām Ibn Mājah, Imām Nawawī, Imām Aḥmad, and Imam Mālik…

A BETTER DAY TO DIE

In the Name of Allah. It’s no denying that many people (especially the disbelievers) hate meeting their Lord. But, death is inexorable. Allah says (in Surah Al-Jumu’ah [62] verse 8): “Say (to them): Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you…” Then, shouldn’t one’s concern be dying at a better time? We…

ALONE FOR HIM

In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, worship is a comprehensive term that includes all actions (such as praying, fasting, supplicating, giving charity, calling to the Religion of Allāh, etc.) that are pleased by Allāh and done solely for Him in all sincerity (i.e. establishing that He Alone deserves it since He is our Lord) with…

SHE EVER SERVED HIM

In the Name of Allāh. The slave trade was customary at that time. Many boys and girls were captured and taken to the slave market for the rich to buy. Some ended up in bad hands, while a few others, fortunately, ended up in the hands of caring people. One such person was an Abyssinian…

A VIRUS CALLED HYPOCRISY

In the Name of Allāh. This morning, let me remind you about an awful virus called hypocrisy. It strikes the heart and calls on Allāh’s Wrath. Indeed, hypocrisy is to announce goodness and, afterward, hide evil and betrayal. The biggest hypocrisy (Nifaq i’tiqādi) is when a person pretends to believe in Allāh, His Angels, Books…

MAKE IT LOOSEN!

In the Name of Allah. Isn’t it nauseating and appalling to see Muslim women nakedly dressed in the House of Allah? Friday is not an exclusion from other days. They wear skimpy and tight dresses. Ordinarily, a Muslim woman should pray in her room. However, she may equally pray in the Masjid with due permission…

HEARS AND SEES NOT

In the Name of Allah. Truly, disbelief is inanity. Let’s chew over the ease of correctly knowing Islam. Then, why are some people still heedless? Why do they display deafness and dumbness to the truth when they may physiologically not be deaf or dumb? Why should one worship other than Allah Who created one? Allah…

A COURIER OF THE LETTERS

In the Name of Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) assembled his companions and addressed them, saying: “I want to send some of you to the rulers of foreign lands but don’t dispute with me as the Israelites disputed with ‘Eesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam.”  “O Messenger of Allah, we shall carry out whatever you wish,” they…
