ISLĀM REMAINS UNASSAILABLE
In the Name of Allāh. Alḥamdulillāh for the blessing of Islām. No one sincerely studies it except that he accepts it or at least attests to its truth. In the face of malicious lies and vile criticisms from those who reject the truth about Allāh, His Book (the Qur’ān), His Religion (Islām), and His Messenger […]
THE PERILS OF EXCESS
In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, the love of wealth, the desire for more, is a poison that seeps into the heart of man. It is a poison that blinds him from the Hereafter. He just wants to be rich; he cares not about reckoning. He cares not if the wealth is Ḥarām. More so, […]
FAJR REMINDER: THE LAST OF THE MUHĀJIRŪN
In the Name of Allāh. We need to know that blood or family relations do not take precedence over Eemān (faith), nor does it outweigh righteousness. There are some people whose relatedness with the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) is an added gain, only because they accepted the truth he brought and died upon it. This […]
A PURPOSEFUL KHUTBAH
In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, the Khutbah is a core aspect of the Jumu’ah prayer. It’s not just a sermon or a lecture, but a sacred ritual that holds great significance in the Islāmic faith. It’s an opportunity for Muslims to renew their commitment to Allāh and to receive spiritual guidance and inspiration. While […]
THE BLESSED NEIGHBOR OF THE PROPHET (ﷺ)
In the Name of Allāh. Great joy filled the hearts of the Muslims of Madīnah (i.e., the Ansar) on the glorious day when our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) made Hijrah to their city. They all welcomed him with great vehemence and wished to honor him (ﷺ) by having him in their respective home. However, it was […]
DIVORCE THEM KINDLY
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 […]
STEERING CLEAR OF FALSEHOOD
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 […]
THE ELOQUENT HERO
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 […]
PREPARING FOR ETERNITY
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, […]
THE SOURCE OF TRUE STRENGTH AND POWER
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 […]
