THE ESSENCE OF SINCERE REPENTANCE
In the Name of Allāh. Allāh keeps the door of repentance open for humanity until the moment of death when the soul reaches the throat (at the point of separation from the body). After this moment, repentance will no longer be accepted. O Muslims! Fear Allāh and turn to Him in repentance, for He indeed […]
THE WILES OF EVIL FRIENDS
In the Name of Allāh. Unlawful intakes, “wining and dining,” you say? Nay, O Muslim, for such is a slippery slope, a path strewn with thorns, leading to destruction and damnation. “But we are just enjoying ourselves,” some may argue. Let me rebuke your argument with an Ḥadīth. Jābir reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever […]
THE VALUE OF EARLY COMMITMENT
In the Name of Allāh. The time for obedience to Allāh is now, the time for repentance is now, and the time for righteousness and piety is now. O brethren, the time of our commitment to the truth is of utmost importance. Indeed, Allāh accepts repentance when made before the deadline, but a man who […]
A CALL TO FAITH AND RESPONSIBILITY
In the Name of Allāh. It is a new dawn once more. O, brethren! Fear Allāh, worship Him with complete devotion, and uphold the trust placed in you. We must carry out our ‘Ibādat (acts of worship) and Mu’amalat (social interactions) with the highest level of sincerity and commitment. Remember, our faith is not simply […]
…ENOUGH AS A NAṢĪḤAH
In the Name of Allāh. Tremble not at the mention of death, for it serves as a bridge linking our transient existence to the eternal world that lies ahead. Have you come across anyone who has been granted immortality? Not! Even the beloved Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) is not exempt. Death is a fate that […]
NAVIGATING THE TRIALS OF WEALTH
In the Name of Allāh. A well-known saying goes: “The love of money is the root of all evils.” In the past, what assisted the people’s faith was: “Love of the Ākhirah (i.e., having bliss in the later life)” and “Readiness to die (i.e., to meet Allāh).” Today, however, the decline of faith can often […]
THE GIFT OF THE GLORIOUS QUR’ĀN
In the Name of Allāh. O mankind, lend an ear and listen to the stirring words of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), for indeed, he has spoken of a treasure far greater than any earthly wealth, a treasure that is the very essence of the Muslims’ faith, the beating heart of Islām: The Glorious Qur’ān. The Qur’ān […]
ONLY IF YOU GIVE THANKS
In the Name of Allāh. We have been wonderfully created, with our body parts appropriately positioned. Furthermore, we are endowed with numerous advantages. Can you imagine walking around without clothing? Consider the fact that you can sleep peacefully while many others cannot. Although some people may struggle to eat due to poverty or illness, you […]
WHEN YOU ARE DIFFERENT
In the Name of Allāh. The Jews learned about the truth through the Tawrah but didn’t understand it nor abide by it. They choose knowledge but act in opposition to the knowledge gained, and thus earn Allāh’s Anger. Allāh likens them to donkeys. What benefits are books carried by a donkey to it? Allāh says: […]
FROM OPPRESSION TO PROTECTION
In the Name of Allāh. As Islām empowers Muslim women by freeing them from sexual exploitation and human degradation, especially through the use of the Ḥijāb to shield their beauty from non-Maḥram men, those lacking moral integrity often oppose it with stereotypical arguments, claiming it confines and denies them their rights. What a narrow-minded perspective! […]
