THE GIFT OF THE GLORIOUS QUR’ĀN

In the Name of Allāh. O mankind, lend an ear and listen to the stirring words of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), for indeed, he has spoken of a treasure far greater than any earthly wealth, a treasure that is the very essence of the Muslims’ faith, the beating heart of Islām: The Glorious Qur’ān. The Qur’ān […]
THE DANGERS OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY

In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, supplicating to Allāh is an avowal of one’s helplessness. It’s a call addressed from an inferior to the Superior, Whose Power surpasses that of the caller, having the belief that nothing in the entire universe is beyond His Control. However, there exist rebellious men of authority who are too […]
A GATEWAY TO SUCCESS

In the Name of Allāh. Respected brethren! When we stand in prayer, let us remember that Khushū’ (humble reverence) is the key to unlocking the true essence of Ṣalāh (prayer). It is not only about the physical act of praying, but the spiritual connection that we make with Allāh. Allāh says: “Successful indeed are the […]
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. Alḥamdulillāh, 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). As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever does Ghusl […]
HOW AWESOME THIS IS!

In the Name of Allāh. By Allāh, we are indeed favored with the blessing of Islām; having numerous excellent acts to be done in amassing oodles of boon from Allāh. Let’s just consider the Jumu’ah prayer as an instance. Regarding it, as recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever bath, then comes to […]
THE PRAYER ITSELF

In the Name of Allāh. Perfect praise is due to Allāh, who made the Jumu’ah prayer an act of worship to cleanse us from our sins and elevate our positions before Him. From the foregoing, part of the great virtues of this day, which calls for reflection, is its weekly awe-inspiring congregational prayer as we […]
ALONE FOR HIM

In the Name of Allāh. Indeed, worship is a comprehensive term that includes all actions (such as praying, fasting, supplicating, giving charity, calling to the Religion of Allāh, etc.) that are pleased by Allāh and done solely for Him in all sincerity (i.e. establishing that He Alone deserves it since He is our Lord) with […]
