A CLOSE WATCH AT
In the Name of Allāh. It’s indeed part of righteousness and resourcefulness to teach our children “Home Management” particularly thru (our) good conducts because they diametrically learn from us. Let the children see that we give respect, love, care and attention to each other. They will thus switch on planning on how to correspondingly manage […]
WHAT IS SHARĪ’AH?
In the Name of Allāh. When Sharī’ah (Islāmic Jurisprudence) is mentioned today, there is this preconceived notion by non-Muslims (even some Muslims); that it’s about killing, cutting hands, stoning, and terrorism. But, this is not true! That’s the propaganda of the West. Islām is a religion whose Jurisprudence’s higher objectives always aim at the promotion […]
SHAYTAN TAKES CHANCE
In the Name of Allāh. Naturally, we try to avoid contact with Allāh when we do something shameful or embarrassing (i.e. sin). Here, Shaytan takes chance by whispering to us about not repenting to Allāh. So, when one listens to Shaytan, he considers himself not worthy of Allāh’s Mercy, distances himself from Him and thereby […]
ALLĀH’S THRONE SHOOK
In the Name of Allāh. As recorded by Imam Aḥmad (Raḥimahullāh) in his Musnad, A’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Indeed, graves embrace every dead person and if anyone will survive of it, it will be Sa’d Ibn Mu’ādh.” By Allāh’s Grace, this morning, we shall look at the profile of one of […]
ASKING “SCHOLAR” INTERNET!
In the Name of Allāh. How do we react to the trend of discussion regarding the cyber Ummah? It now seems easy for a Muslim to seek explanations of the affairs of his Deen from the “scholar” internet. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Does that make one knowledgeable? It’s not everything named Islāmic […]
SEE THE IMPLICATION
In the Name of Allāh. Ṣalāt (prayer) is so important that Allāh prescribed it in a direct conversation with His Prophet (ﷺ) above the Heavens, having no one in between. But, how do Muslims treat it today? Many have abandoned it like it’s not important. Allāh says (in Sūrah Maryam [19] verse 59): “Then, there […]
MESSENGER OR GOD?
In the Name of Allāh. No-no! They should bring the different versions of the Bible out (such as Living Bible, Amplified Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, Good News Bible, Holy Bible, New American Standard Bible, American Translation of the Holy Bible, and others), then show us where Jesus said: “I’m God, worship me.” Is there any […]
OF THE WRETCHED
In the Name of Allāh. Praise be to Allāh, Who gives strength to our body, returns our souls, and allows us to always remember Him. Alḥamdulillāh! As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever tells of a dream that he did not see will be commanded (on the Day of Resurrection) to tie […]
SPEAKING IN GOD’S NAME
In the Name of Allāh. I have passed by places and heard the acclaimed men of God speaking in God’s Name with no authority whatsoever. However, it’s pathetic that we now have some Muslims following suit. They wrongly speak with authority, misinterpret textual evidence and mislead people from the straight Path in the name of […]
OVERTAKEN BY TIME
In the Name of Allāh. O, People! Think of those before you (especially the transgressors of them). Where are those who possessed great luxuries, cities and unlawfully amassed public funds? Where are they today? Allāh says (in Surah Maryam [19] verse 98): “And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Can you find […]
