GREETING AND CONGRATULATING THEM
In the Name of Allāh. Excellent indeed it is to have the angels felicitate and welcome you to Paradise in the Hereafter. So, won’t you give it all it takes to achieve that? On the Day of Resurrection, Allāh will gather the believers, together with their loved ones, from among their fathers, family members and […]
MESSENGER OR GOD?
In the Name of Allāh. No-no! They should bring the different versions of the Bible out (such as Living Bible, Amplified Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, Good News Bible, Holy Bible, New American Standard Bible, American Translation of the Holy Bible, and others), then show us where Jesus said: “I’m God, worship me.” Is there any […]
WHILST THEY WORSHIP CREATIONS
In the Name of Allāh. Whilst all other acclaimed religions are connected to people, places, or prophets (like Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, etc.), Islam stands out as the only divine religion given its name by Allāh and directly connected to Him – the Lord of the Majestic Throne. Allāh says (in Surah Al-‘Imran [3] verse […]
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).

In the Name of Allah. Indeed, worship is a comprehensive term that includes all actions (such as praying, fasting, supplicating, giving charity, calling to the Religion of Allah, etc.) which are pleased by Allah and done solely for Him in all sincerity (i.e. establishing that He Alone deserves it since He is our Lord) with […]
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 […]
A POINT OF RECOGNITION
In the Name of Allah. Who is the Maker and Manager of all things? Could the alternation of the night and day cum the creation of the heavens and earth be by accident? No! That’s not logical. Allah calls us to reflect (in Surah Yunus [10] verse 6): “Verily, in the alternation of the night […]
