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 […]

WHY BEHIND MEN?

In the Name of Allāh. This is faith-shaking! Can someone pose this logical challenge? For those in Da’wah, this may be chiefly useful to you.

He (ﷺ) was also known to help his wives at the house. As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 676, our mother, A’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) was asked: “What did the Prophet (ﷺ) use […]
