You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh.

*I post this with tears in my eyes.* This is a Khutbah which was Given by one Ustaz from Osogbo, osun (Nigeria) What a touching KHUTUBAH please if time allows you read it. It's worth a Reminder; Published as received. "Every human is a slave. You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh. You either live life by your rules or the rule of Allāh. How can the heart travel to God if it's chained by its desires? O' son of Adam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you lose both. #DeenOverDunya Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey Allaah. "Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from Allāh. Captured is he, who is captured by his desires." Fudayl Ibn Iyad was asked "What do you find the strangest of all things?" He said: The heart that knows Allāh, yet still disobeys Him 😢 ...

Understanding Islamic World view with Dr Asad Zaman:

Kind teacher introduces you to Dr Asad Zaman's blog: Click to open: https://asadzaman.net/ About the work of Dr Asad Zaman: The vast majority of our “knowledge” of the world we live in is highly Eurocentric. Nearly all of my writing aims at developing a worldview which is based on the teachings of Islam . This involves looking at history, and also the meaning of knowledge, very differently from what we were taught in the course of our western education. A very simple explanation of some basic misconceptions generated by Eurocentric teachings is given in my paper: Directions for Muslim Scholars in Social Sciences . A more completed and detailed explanation of how appropriate methodology of social science is entirely different from that of physical science is given in An Islamic Approach to Humanities . — the main idea is that the prestige of Physical Science has led to the adoption of scientific methodology for social science, which has s...

Eid Mubarak: Beyond the Festivities, Towards a Lifetime of Reflection:

- ## Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! As the crescent moon graces the sky, marking the end of Ramadan, we are filled with joy, gratitude, and a sense of spiritual renewal. The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith. This Eid, as we gather with family and friends, exchanging warm greetings and savoring delicious treats, let's also take a moment to reflect on the profound lessons Ramadan has imparted.

The spirit of generosity, the commitment to prayer, the dedication to self-improvement – these are not fleeting practices to be abandoned once Eid arrives. This Eid, let's make a conscious effor...

A believer's story of a Quarintine:

Assalamu Alaikum Alhamdhulillah ... By the grace of Almighty Allah, I reached home yesterday by the Delhi... Trivandrum special train. And now I'm under home quarantine for two weeks in the upper flat of our residence. My children and grandchildren are all away, so strict quarantine is made easy. I request you all to make Dhua for ease. We started for Nizaamudheen on the 11th of February, from Kollam ( Ab. Kareem Sb of Poredam, Thaha Sr of Pattazy and myself ), to spend two months in Nizaamudheen Markaz for Thartheeb. But eventually, as you know, things took a different course. Insha Allah, it will be exactly 4 months on 11th June, when we finish the ongoing quarantine. We were put in forced quarantine for 58 days in 4 different quarantine camps in Delhi without periodic tests. The entire Ramadhaan and Edul Fithr was spent in the camps. We had the unique distinction of having total vegitarian food for a full Ramadhaan and even on t...

The power of Istighfar:

This story about “Istighfar” is from the life of Imam Ahmed Bin Hanbal, often referred to as the “Sheikh ul-Islam” or the “Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah.” During his old age, while Imam Ahmed was travelling he stopped by a town. After the prayers, he wanted to stay for the night in the masjid yard because he didn’t know anyone in the town. Owing to his humility, he hadn’t introduced himself to anyone thinking that if he did, he would be welcomed by many people. Failing to recognize Ahmed bin Hanbal, the caretaker of the mosque refused to let him stay in the mosque. As Imam Ahmed was quite old, the caretaker had to drag him out of the mosque. On seeing this, a baker from a nearby place felt pity for Imam Ahmed and offered to be the host to him for the night. During his stay with the baker, Imam Ahmed observed that the baker would constantly recite Istighfar. Imam Ahmed asked the baker if this constant practice of saying Istighfar had any effect on him. *_The baker responded by tellin...

Planting the seeds of character, learning from our predecessors (Aslaf)-

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (R.A) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Be devout and you will be the most pious of people. Be content and you will be the most grateful of people. Love for people what you love for yourself and you will be a believer. Behave well with your neighbours and you will be a Muslim. Laugh less, for too much laughter, will deaden the heart'. Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 4217, One of the most important aspects of our predecessors is adherence to the prophetic teachings and heritage. They adhered to it and even to date, that period is known as the golden age of Islam. The Islamic Golden Age was a period of cultural, economic, and scientific flourishing in the history of Islam , traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 14th century.
