Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib raziAllahuanhu said concerning his spiritual companionship with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ,:


"I was still a young child and the Prophet ﷺ took me into his custody. I used to cling to him and he used to feed me, and (when I grew a little older), he never found me uttering a lie, nor did I ever try to deceive people.

In my eyes he (the Prophet) was like a guiding star and I used to follow his actions and deeds carefully.

I was attached to him like a foal of camel attached to its mother. He used to place before me high values of morality, and used to advise me to follow them; every year, he would spend some days at the grotto of the Mt. Hira and I used to be with him, I was his only companion then and none else could meet him at Hira.

It was there I used to see the light of revelation and used to smell the fragrance of Prophet-hood. Once the Prophet ﷺ told me: "Ali! You have attained a very eminent place. You see what I see and you hear what I hear."

(Recorded in the Tafsir ad-Durr Al-Manthur by Imam Jalaludin Al-Suyuti [ra])

What's the story?  One day President Nixon wanted to read about "Islamic Principles and Rules", so he asked CIA to prepare a research paper on the subject for him.    Assigned CIA cadre wrote a detail research paper and submitted to President Nixon.   But Nixon felt the paper was a bit lengthy and detailed. So he asked his adviser, Robert Crane, to read and summarize the article.    Robert read the article a...

*ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY* - Peace here and hereafter:

 - *What the Prophet(saw) Knew* The Prophet ﷺ and his companions knew something that is not often displayed today. They were able to face difficulty with a certain determination in their heart; they were grateful for even the seemingly small blessings; they took pleasure in praying at night while the people were asleep. What they knew was this: if they sought Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) they would not be let down. This is the secret to the statement of Abu Bakr  radiAllah `anhu (ra) to the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Badr, when the Prophet ﷺ was crying out to Allah (swt) in an impassioned du`a’(supplication) until his cloak fell from his shoulder. Abu Bakr (ra) said, “O Messenger of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you!” And He did- the battle was won by the Muslims. Human desires are insatiable. And for this reason, the more we chase after the dunya (physical world), the less we are sa...

Business Etiquette from Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ :

 * Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ Business Etiquette* - In Islam, trade has always been recognised as an important aspect of human life. Before revelation came to Prophet ﷺ, he earned his living as a trader. His integrity and veracity were quickly noticed by his employer, Sayyida Khadijah (RA), who later married him.  *★ Sadiq and Ameen* It was a result of his ﷺ honesty and noble character that he ﷺ was called as 'Sadiq' (truthful) and 'Ameen' (trustworthy) amongst the Makkans. Hazrat Abu Sufianؓ  (the bitterest enemy of Islam before he accepted Islam) said: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against Allah ﷻ. The Makkans agreed unanimously that Allah's Messenger ﷺ was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir (ra) asked his son Ammar (ra), where he was going. Ammar (ra) said that he was going to the Prophet ﷺ. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with him ﷺ, he replied: "Muhammad ﷺ...

Allah willed a righteous spouse based on Niyah, Du'a and belief in qadr of Allah:

I would interpret this as Choosing Wisely and equating it to "Tying the camel". Yes, The Qur'an says: “Women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity.” (24:26) and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “A woman may be married for four reasons: for her property, for her rank, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character), so marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper.” (Bukhari) So yes, we must choose well but ultimately it comes down to Niyah, Du'a and belief in Qadr of Allah. This is the only equation that leads anywhere worthwhile. This is also hikmah. For a person who lacks hikmah will not understand the need for this.  A long long time ago, when it was my turn to "tie the knot" I am sure that I would have messed up, if Allah has not taken charge and willed for me the partner I have today. Alhamdulillah! But here is where I say there is more to this....this is a THREE part series. Allah willed a ri...

# 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...

Quran: we will be able to take benefit out of it, if only we read it, understand it and bring it into our lives:

 - Understand this with a story: A BEGGAR WITH A TREASURE- An old woman was begging in front of a masjid. A man said to her, "Your son is capable of earning, then why are you begging here?"  The woman replied, "My husband has passed away and my son went foreign for a job. While going, he had given me some money for my expenses, which I have already spent and now I have no money, that is why I am begging here." The man asked again, "Doesn't your son send you anything from the foreign country?" The old lady replied, "Yes, my son keep sending me a colourful paper every month that I keep pasting on the wall." The man then went to her house and saw that 60 bank drafts were pasted on the wall. Each draft was of ₹50,000. Not wise enough, thus she did not know how much wealth she had at her home. The man explained to her the value of the drafts and how to cash them.  Our condition is also the same as that of the old woman. We have the Qur'an, we ...

Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen):

*Raising children* Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen). This is really beautiful. Women expecting children would ensure every morsel going into their mouths was halal. Breastfeeding mothers would repeatedly recite Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas and du'as of protection over their babies. When a child first began to speak it would be taught to say: رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبّاً، وبِالإِسْلامِ دِيناً، و بسيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيَّاً ورَسُولاً ‘I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with our Master Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet and Messenger.’ Parents would teach their children the importance of making good intentions and what intentions to make just as they would teach them how to recite Surat al-Fatiha. Parents would teach their children to call upon Allah in every situation. If a child asked for something, his parents would tell him to perform wudu, pray two rak'ats and then ask Allah to fulfil his...
