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 […]
