AN OPEN OPPONENT
In the Name of Allāh. Perfect praise is to Allāh and may His choicest Blessings be upon our Noble Prophet (ﷺ). Sometimes, we find it hard to identify an enemy (among humans). However, regarding Shaytan, Allāh makes it clear-cut. He says (in Surah Yusuf [12] verse 5): “Verily, Shaytan is to man an open enemy!” […]
BLESSING IN DISGUISE
In the Name of Allāh. Sometimes, we whine (about Allāh) over the trials which hit us without understanding that, trial is a good thing (a blessing in disguise) if we can persevere it. As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever Allāh wants good for, He puts them to test. […]
THE SUCCESS IS IN…
In the Name of Allāh. Exaltation is to Allāh Who commands us to follow the excellent example of our pious predecessors (Prophet Muhammad [ﷺ] been the first) and prohibits us from imitating the disbelievers. Allāh has placed the gain of this world and the later life in acting according to the way of His Messenger […]
THICKER THAN BLOOD
In the Name of Allāh. Praise is to Allāh, the Lord of the ‘Alamin. He created a strong brotherhood (with sincere love) between the believers, as they are united together upon the Deen (i.e. Islam). He then warned them on disunity which is usually caused by transgressors. Respected Brethren, we should believe with certainty and […]
BE ELEVATED WITH IT
In the Name of Allāh. When was the last time you recited the Qur’ān? What about this morning? Any plan of reciting it today? Sincerely, reciting the Qur’ān is such a very simple way to earn a fantastic reward. Every letter recited shall be recorded as ten good deeds. As recorded in Sunan At-Tirmidhi, ‘Abdullāh […]
MIND THAT HELL
In the Name of Allāh. A father visits soothsayers and his son learns sorcery. What do you await from a child whose parents are religiously bankrupted? If not the one saved by Allāh anyway. Today, what remains with some Muslims is only names. They engage in different forms of prohibition. They listen to obnoxious music, […]
DO THE DOS, NOT THE DON’TS
In the Name of Allāh. Exalted is Allāh, Who had laid down through Islām Obligations that are not to be ignored, Limits that are not to be transgressed, and Prohibitions that are not to be violated. Hence, we should obey Allāh as that is intrinsically easy. More so, we need to fathom the essence of […]
A PRECIOUS TREASURE
In the Name of Allāh. The best investment and provision indeed a believer can make for himself to obtain Allāh’s Pleasure is having Taqwa (consciousness) of Allāh. Allāh says (in Surah Al-An’aam [6] verse 32): “But far better is the house in the Hereafter (i.e. Paradise) for those who are Al-Muttaqun (i.e. those who are […]
ISLĀM IS TRULY EASY
In the Name of Allāh. Verily, we know practising Islām (i.e. strictly obeying Allāh) to be intrinsically easy as Allāh tells us (in Sūrah Al-Ḥajj [22] verse 78): “…And has not laid upon you in religion any hardship.” Therefore, observing Ṣalāh, wearing the prescribed Ḥijāb (for women), not visiting the soothsayers, etc., are all easy. […]
DESPITE THE YEARS SPENT
In the Name of Allāh. Perfect praise to Allāh Who bestowed great favor on us through our existence by making it like a land to be cultivated for a juicy Hereafter. Indeed, whoever Allāh loves shall have most of his time excellently spent upon goodness before his or her existence gets terminated. Respected Brethren! We […]
