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: […]
EMBRACING TRUE ISLĀMIC KNOWLEDGE

In the Name of Allāh. In the vast ocean of social media, the waves of falsehood and deception rise high, seeking to mislead and misguide those who tread its waters with ignorance and gullibility. Be not deceived by the glittering lure of the cyber Ummah, for not all knowledge is true, not all understanding is […]
THE WELLSPRING OF KNOWLEDGE

In the Name of Allāh. Verily, part of the legacy of the Prophet (ﷺ) was to gather his companions in the Masjid after Fajr or ‘Asr prayer in the stillness of knowledge, of understanding, of learning. What good is a Muslim by name alone, who clings to the shell of Islām, but neglects the pearl […]
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 […]

In the Name of Allāh. There was an honored Jewish man in Yathrib, known for his moral virtues. When he heard about the coming of the last Prophet (ﷺ), he began to enquire about him – his name, lineage, qualities, time and place and compared the information with what is contained in Torah. From this, […]
IT MAKES YOU LIVE FOREVER

In the Name of Allāh. Do you know that an ignorant is dead even before his death whilst a learned continues to exist even after death? Verily, knowledge makes a person be remembered forever. Since when had people like Imām Bukhārī, Imām Muslim, Imām Tirmidhī, Imām Ibn Mājah, Imām Nawawī, Imām Aḥmad, and Imam Mālik […]
A GREAT WRITER

In the Name of Allah. If you don’t want to be forgotten when dead and rotted, either say something worth writing or write something worth saying. There was a great writer of Hadith. The one Abu Hurayrah (RadiyaLlahu ‘Anhu) confirmed to be more knowledgeable than himself. The one who fasted for days without break and […]
KNOW YOUR LIMIT!

In the Name of Allah. It’s so sad that some of us have assumed the position of a scholar because of some little things we presently know about the Deen. Someone who’s just attending Madrasah thinks he’s capable of passing verdicts and commenting on religious issues. Even real scholars don’t know it all. That’s one […]
