THE INHERENT BOONS

In the Name of Allāh.

Undoubtedly, all praises are due to Allāh; the Giver of goodness. Alḥamdulillāh, it’s Friday! Verily, the Muslims are promised a great reward when they attend Jumu’ah prayer and listen to the Khutbah (Friday sermon) – listen to it silently, do not jump over people’s shoulders, and do not hurt or disturb others.

As reported by Abu Dāwūd (Raḥimahullāh) in his Sunan, …

IN THE FIRST HOUR

In the Name of Allāh.

WHAT IF IT STARTS TODAY?

In the Name of Allah.

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 no doubt that the one who loves this worldly life and does not think about …
