THE INHERENT BOONS

In the Name of Allāh. Undoubtedly, all praises are due to Allāh; the Giver of goodness. AlhamduliLlāh, 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 […]

IN THE FIRST HOUR

In the Name of Allāh. AlhamduliLlah, it’s another day of Jumu’ah. From the rulings of Jumu’ah prayer is getting to the Masjid (for prayer) at its early time (i.e. the first hour).

WHAT IF IT STARTS TODAY?

In the Name of Allah. Perfect Praise is to Allah, the Entirely Munificent and the Especially Gracious. It’s Yawm Al-Jumu’ah (Friday) again, the best of all days (in the week). 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 […]

SPEAK GOOD OR REMAIN SILENT!

Do you know what a lot of people waste their time on today? Vain talk (or laghw in Arabic)!
