Human beings are intrinsically wired to find their way to Allah (God):

Human beings naturally seek harmony and cohesion between their cognitions, and when there is disharmony between the way you are living your life and the internal discomfort and emptiness you are feeling, this is where we usually hit a crosssroad between chosing the way we live or responding to the discomfort and imbalance that we are feeling. It’s called Cognitive Dissonance. In the Islamic tradition, human beings are intrinsically wired to find their way to Allah (God) through the Fitrah, which is a predisposition to believe in Him, and the faculties given to them to help navigate their way through the external influences and distractions. Human faculties have dual a function; one spiritual and the other physical. Allah says in the Qur’an, “They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see and they have ears with which they do not hear; they are like cattle, rather more astray than cattle.” (7:179) Allah is not referencing the physical functions of these faculties here but the spiritual. Don’t keep ignoring your body’s desire for a deeper interpretation of the experience you giving it. Understand your purpose and live it.

We need to go back to these core teachings and examples of Islam and similarly strive for achieving an ethical and moral society, wherever we live:

- Assalamualaikum, For those who can drop their 21st century cultural baggage and read this sermon in its own historical context, one can’t help but admire it as one of the earliest declarations of human rights in written history. Almost everything Muhammad SAWS says in this prophetic sermon was almost unheard of and inconceivable prior to the arrival of Islam. The Prophet of Islam addresses some of the core universal values in a society where those values are long forgotten and violated in a systemic basis. The Prophet didn’t only say but transformed his society, in a very short period of time, remarkably in all the values and lessons that he talks about.  In this sermon of Muhammad SAWS, Muslims find their deep commitment to the universal human values such as sacredness of life and property, equality, justice, peace and more. Upon these high universal values, the religion of Islam was built.  We still have so much to learn from this 1,440-plus-year-old cry and we are so much...

A dua from a parent to their children:

Let us all pray for our children with this long dua.  A POWERFUL DU'A FOR CHILDREN! In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful! All praises are for Allah SWT, the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving. Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions. Oh Allah, I submit myself to You. I realise that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help. I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance. Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You. Help me do that in the best way. Teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love. Help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole. Help me walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with me. Allow me to be a God-fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that I may need. Oh Allah, You know ...

Muslim Women at home are doing a wonderful job:

Women and household work ! 🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅 To all of my believing sisters out there who feel “ being stuck at home “ with child rearing and cooking and cleaning day in and day out .... who feel their productivity and creativity is withering away , who feel there is a lot to do out there like going for hifz classes , attending lectures , volunteering for dawah activities and other ways by which they can gain Allah subhaanahu wa taala s pleasure ....

Can women perform salah at musjid and attend Eid salah:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh   Respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam   There is a trend starting in various places to have Family Eidgaahs and women are being encouraged to attend the Eid Salaah.     Those that encourage women to go to the Musjid and to attend the Eid Salaah, generally do so based on the narrations stating that in the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, women used to attend the congregational prayer in the Musjid and the Eid Prayer as well.    In this regard, it is important to take note of the following:   Women in the time of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) were not prevented from going to the Musjid. This was primarily due to the fact that they had the unique opportunity of praying behind the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) Himself. That was an act that cannot be paralleled today. Secondly, they used to observe all the requirements of Shariah including tho...

Clean heart:

1. “How strange some people are! They attach great importance to their faces because people look at it and so they clean it from filth, but give no heed to their hearts, to which Allaah looks at.” Shaykh Muhammad al Munajjid خفطه الله 2. Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam ne (ek martaba ek sahaabi ko) apni zabaane mubaarak pakad kar farmaaya ke mujhe sab se ziyaada khatra is (zabaan) se hai. (Trimizi : 2410) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

So he went with his pearl to the manager and told him the story. He said, "O my brother, whatever I own cannot buy thi...
