Believers' levels during Namaz:

When it comes to prayer, people are of five levels:

1. Negligent:
The first is the level of the one who wrongs himself and is negligent. He does not do the wudhu (ablution) properly, or pray at the right time or make sure he does all the necessary parts of prayer.

2. Overwhelmed with Wasawis:
The second is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and does wudhu, but he has lost the battle against his own self and is overwhelmed with wasawis (insinuations).

3. Struggles:
The third is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and does wudhu, and also strives against his own self and against wasawis, but he is preoccupied with his struggle against his enemy (i.e. the Shaytaan), lest he steal from his prayer, so he is engaged in salaah and jihaad (struggle) at the same time.

4. Focused Heart:
The fourth is one who when he stands up to pray, he fulfills all the requirements of the prayer, and his heart is fully focused and alert lest he omit anything, and his concern is to do the prayer properly and perfectly. His heart is deeply immersed in his prayer and worship of his Lord.

5. Complete Submission:
The fifth is one who does all of that, but he takes his heart and places it before his Lord, looking at his Lord with his heart and focusing on Him, filled with love and adoration, as if he is actually seeing Him. That waswaas and those thoughts diminish, and the barriers between him and his Lord are lifted. The difference between the prayer of this person and the prayer of anyone is else is greater than the difference between heaven and earth. When this person prays, he is preoccupied with his Lord and content with Him.

The first type is punishable.
The second is accountable.
The third is striving so he is not counted as a sinner.
The fourth is rewarded.
The fifth is drawn close to his Lord, because he is one of those for whom prayer is a source of joy.

Whoever finds their joy in prayer in this life, will find their joy in being close to Allah in the Hereafter, and will also find his joy in Allah in this world. Whoever finds his joy in Allah will be content with everything, and whoever does not find his joy in Allah, will be destroyed by his feelings of grief and regret for worldly matters.

Slicing Through the Ego: The Internal Qurbani:

- # Beyond the Sacrifice: What is Your "Ismail" This Eid ul Adha? 🌙 **Eid Mubarak!** 🌙 Every year, as the global Muslim community gathers to celebrate Eid ul Adha, our focus naturally turns to the tradition of *Qurbani* (sacrifice). We prepare the animals, distribute the meat, and share meals with family and neighbors. But if we pause and look past the physical rituals, a profound spiritual question emerges. **Eid ul Adha is not just about sacrificing an animal. It is about sacrificing whatever stands between you and Allah.** ## The True Essence of Qurbani: Trust Over Fear When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left his wife, Hajara (AS), and their infant son in the barren desert of Makkah, he didn’t leave them in fear—he left them in absolute, unwavering trust of Allah. And years later, when he raised the knife above his beloved son, Ismail (AS), it wasn't an act of cruelty. It was the ultimate demonstration of submitting his will to the Divine. > **The realization:** The knife...

The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon):

- The Last Sermon (Khutbah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Farewell Sermon) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered His ﷺ last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat. His ﷺ words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. After praising, and thanking Allah He ﷺ said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. AL...

By being close to Allah in our times of ease, we are building our immune system:

Reflections from a student of Qur’an!✨ Have you wondered why Covid-19 causes minor to no symptoms in some people, while in others it’s deadly? How can the same virus affect two people so differently? What differentiates these two people? It all comes down to one thing: the strength of the immune system and its response. It comes down to the strength of the individual's ability to withstand and combat--and then ultimately overcome--the onslaught. The trial. And then those who do overcome, do not only survive. They actually become stronger *because of* the trial. They develop an immunity to that virus. The same threat that killed others, has only built them stronger. This is profound. Even more profound is that, just as we have a physical immune system, we also have a spiritual and psychological immune system. This is our ability to withstand and overcome spiritual and psychological tests. This is our resilience. The same wind can completely uproot some trees, while othe...

A web-app that could assist the elderly with their namaz:

Assalamu Alaikum! I made a web-app for the elderly. Backstory: my Nani used to be very punctual with her prayers but suddenly she stopped praying. My mom promptly noticed this change and asked her why she wasn’t praying and she said that it’s because she forgets the ayat, or what to say, or even the rakat. So my mom would sit with her and basically pray the whole namaz with her. Now years later my mom asked me to make an app that could assist the elderly with their namaz. So I made this web-app. If you guys know anyone that’s at an age where they’re starting to forget things and you think this could benefit them. Just let them know about it and let me get that sawab.

Quran Juz 27 – Qala Fama Khatbukum - Summary:

- Quran Juz 27 – Qala Fama Khatbukum Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW • This Juz commences with the conversation between Sayyiduna Ibraheem (alaihissalam) and the two angels which had come to destroy the people of Sayyiduna Loot (alaihissalam). • When asked about their mission, the two angels revealed it to Sayyiduna Ibraheem (a.s.). • When the angels moved on and destroyed the people of Sayyiduna Loot (a.s.) who were sodomites, only Sayyiduna Loot’s (a.s.) house remained intact, as only his family was obedient to Allah.

The people of Aad had forgotten Allah, and rather than thanking Allah for the...

# The Invisible Foundation: How Islamic Scholarship Built the Modern West:

- The history of "Western" knowledge is often told as a straight line from Ancient Greece to the European Renaissance. However, modern scholarship reveals that this narrative has a massive "missing middle." For over five hundred years, the Islamic Golden Age did not just "preserve" ancient knowledge—it revolutionized it, creating the very empirical and logical tools the West uses today. ## 1. Beyond Preservation: The Birth of Experimentation While the Greeks excelled in deductive reasoning (thinking from general principles), Islamic scholars introduced the **inductive, experimental method**. The most prominent figure was **Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen)**. In his *Kitab al-Manazir* (Book of Optics), he rejected the Greek theory that the eye emits light. More importantly, he established that theories must be proven through controlled, repeatable experiments (Piniés, n.d.). This methodological shift is now recognized as the foundational root of the modern scient...
