MAKING SPACE FOR OUR CHILD FOR BETTER FUTURE

MAKING SPACE FOR OUR CHILD FOR BETTER FUTURE

Imagine a Masjid where the Imam pauses during Salah and the entire congregation waits so a toddler can finish his game. Imagine a Masjid where an Imam leads Salah while he holds a child in his arms. Imagine a Masjid where the cry of a baby changes the Imam’s intention and shortens the prayer for the entire congregation.

BELIEF IN LIFE AFTER DEATH

BELIEF IN LIFE AFTER DEATH

Everyone is scared of dying and rightly so.  The uncertainty of what lies beyond is frightening. It may be that of all religions, Islam, provides the most graphic details of what comes after death and lies beyond. Islam views death to be a natural threshold to the next stage of existence.

A BELIEVER IN TIMES OF CRISIS

A BELIEVER IN TIMES OF CRISIS

In determining the way in which a Muslim should deal with a time of crisis, it is important to analyze exactly what, essentially, a crisis is in the context of Islamic understanding; particularly as this relates to the Qadar (predestination) of Allaah.

REASON WHY MANKIND WAS CREATED

REASON WHY MANKIND WAS CREATED

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

One of the greatest attributes of Allaah is wisdom, and one of His greatest names is al-Hakeem (the most Wise). It should be noted that He has not created anything in vain; exalted be Allaah far above such a thing. Rather He creates things for great and wise reasons, and for sublime purposes. Those who know them know them and those who do not know them do not know them. Allaah has stated that in His Holy Book, where He says that He has not created mankind in vain, and He has not created the heavens and the earth in vain. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“If Anyone Favours His Wife Over His Mother…!”

“If Anyone Favours His Wife Over His Mother…!”

At the time of the Prophet (sallellahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), there was a young man named Alqamah. He was very diligent in obeying Allah (SWT) by engaging in prayer and fasting and spending in charity. Then he fell ill and his illness became serious. His wife went to the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and said, ‘My husband, Alqamah, is on his deathbed. I therefore came to tell you, Messenger of Allah, about his condition.’

BEING CONSIDERATE TO OTHERS FEELINGS – (1)

“All praise is due to Allaah, and may His peace and blessings be upon His Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and his family and Companions.”

To proceed:
Allaah the Almighty has ordained this valuable religion for us and He has perfected it. He has completed His blessings upon us and approved Islaam as a religion for us. It is complete and clear, including the creed, forms of worship, dealings with others, and the Muslim’s relationship with his Lord and his own self and others.

THE IDEAL MUSLIM IN THE COMMUNITY

The Muslim community is based on sincerity, purity of human feelings and fulfillment of rights and needs to every member.

The Muslim has a mission in life. Within the community he calls the people to Islam with good preaching and the best character. He teaches from what he learns and deals with those whom he comes in contact with based on Islamic values and morals. All this is done seeking the pleasure of Allaah, the Exalted, while striving to attain the reward of His Paradise.

The word ansar means “helper” in Arabic, while the word ansari refers to a person who helps. But as a term, the Ansar were the people from Medina who supported Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the muhajirun (Emigrants) when they migrated from Mecca to Medina.

SLEEPING AND MISSING SALAT AL-FAJR

SLEEPING AND MISSING SALAT AL-FAJR

QUESTION:

A brother complained: “I miss Salat al-Fajr on most days, and I hardly ever pray it at the right time.

What is the solution to this problem?”

GOOD MANNERS IN ISLAM

GOOD MANNERS IN ISLAM

Why Good Manners Are Important In Islam?

*In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful*

First let’s see what did the Quran and the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) say about Akhlaaq (manners):

GOOD MANNERS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS GOOD GRADES

GOOD MANNERS ARE AS

 IMPORTANT AS GOOD GRADES

Nabee E Kareem, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, was an excellent example of good manners. This facet of his personality was known to Muslims as well as non-Muslims during his life. When the noble Qur’aan declared him to be a role model for high moral character, none of his contemporary disbelievers went on record to disagree with this Qur’anic statement.

 The story of Heraclius’ encounter with Islam

Hellfire, punishment on the Day of Judgment, punishment in this life, all these things are but possibilities.

Abu’ l-Abbas as-Sa’idi said :
*“A man came to the Prophet (saws) and said, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah! Guide me to such an action, that when I do it, Allah will love me and the people will love me.  He said, be detached from this world and then Allah will love you and do not be attracted to what people have and then the people will love you”.*

SATAN’S GATEWAY TO THE HEART

SATAN’S GATEWAY TO THE HEART

The heart is like a fort and Satan the advancing enemy, who is intent on infiltrating and occupying it. Hence, only by guarding the gates, entrances and vulnerable positions, will it be impenetrable. Yet, a person who is unacquainted with the structure of the fortress, particularly its access points, cannot adequately defend it. By the same token, the obligation of guarding the heart from the whispers of Satan cannot be fulfilled and he cannot be warded off, unless a person knows the gates to the heart that Satan may take.
