MAKE IT SOUND!

In the Name of Allāh. The Supremacy of Allāh over us is also evident in the fact that our deepest thoughts are known to Him. One may not know another person’s intention, but Allāh knows all our thoughts and plans – previous, present, and future (before we plan it). He says (in Sūrah An-Naḥl [16]…

HEARTS ARE SEALED

In the Name of Allāh. I read a post this morning on research conducted to show that most of the countries applying Islāmic Principles have their citizens not traditionally Muslims. It also discusses how worse the condition of the Muslims is vis-à-vis moral vices. Isn’t it flummoxing and questionable that a Muslim correctly bags sound…

TO BE SUCCESSFUL

In the Name of Allah. Among the qualities that a Muslim should bag is patience in the face of harm (i.e. enduring what one dislikes) with a sense of acceptance and submission, just for the Sake of Allah.

DURING MENSTRUAL PERIOD

In the Name of Allāh. Have you seen how life gets grim for the one who rejects the Straight Way? I sometimes fall about over the heretic ways of the strayed. In Judaism, for instance, the Jews have total rejection for their women when in menses – so much that they even disallow their garments…

A POINT OF RECOGNITION

In the Name of Allah. Who is the Maker and Manager of all things? Could the alternation of the night and day cum the creation of the heavens and earth be by accident? No! That’s not logical. Allah calls us to reflect (in Surah Yunus [10] verse 6): “Verily, in the alternation of the night…

WHAT IF IT STARTS TODAY?

In the Name of Allah. Perfect Praise is to Allah, the Entirely Munificent and the Especially Gracious. It’s Yawm Al-Jumu’ah (Friday) again, the best of all days (in the week). This day indeed demands special attention as it’s an extraordinary day because of its exclusive boons. I’m sure we won’t want to miss out. There is…

Controlling one’s anger is a sign of goodness, a sign of strength and it earns the Pleasure of Allah. Therefore, one should be circumspect…

WHO IS AT FAULT?

In the Name of Allah. There was a trainee in carpentry that didn’t complete his training. But, he obtained a space somewhere and placed signage for people to patronize him.  So, he was a day given the roofing work (of a building). After project completion, the house owner packed into his house. During raining season,…
