Ramazan Mubarak message:



This is another opportunity by Allah (SWT) for us to observe the fasting of Ramazan. This Ramazan is very different for this generation. For some, it is a good time with family. And for some, this is a challenging situation, in terms of personal and professional life. Most of us are on an off, or working from home or doing part-time work if you are running an essentials supply business. Nevertheless, it’s a different experience.
Everything is from Allah (SWT), and this test is also from Allah (SWT), let us be a better Momin.

Spend Quality time with Allah (SWT):

You wanted to do Tilawat of Quran, but work-life commitments and the travel time used to consume a lot of your Ibadat time. This Ramazan you have got a lot of time for Quran, Namaz, Taraweh, Dua, Zikr and so on. Make good utilization of your time to make a good and stronger connection with Allah (SWT). This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah.

Spend Quality time with Family:

What special opportunity does this Ramazan has for us. It has given an abundance of time to spend with family. Do you remember the kind of rush we used to do to come back home on time for Iftari. Now, this Ramazan you do not have to panic to rush back home, you are spending quality time at home, enjoy every movement with your family. Do Namaz together, listen to Quran together, do charity together, teach your children together. This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah as well as with people.

Do lots of spending on Charity:

Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) is an example for us to learn charity, He (S.A.W) is the one who used to give more and more, and in many instances giving food to needy by being hungry himself. Charity is part of Islam. Charity is a sign of Emaan. In this challenging pandemic situation worldwide, let’s open our hearts and minds, and help not only our community but help humanity as well at large. This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah as well as with people.

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: "Charity given to a relative it serves a double purpose, being both charity and a connecting link." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 606
The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: "Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589

In this challenging pandemic situation please do cooperate with authorities.
Follow the instructions given by central, state and local authorities (Reference https://daruliftaa.com/miscellaneous/obeying-the-law-of-the-land-in-the-west/).
Muslims must adhere to the laws of any country they live in, whether in the west or the east, as long as the law is not in contradiction with one’s religion. When one lives in a particular country, one agrees verbally, in writing or effectively to adhere to the rules and regulations of that country. This, according to Shariah, is considered to be a covenant, agreement and trust. One is obliged to fulfil the trust regardless of whether it is contracted with a friend, enemy, Muslim, non-Muslim or a government. 
Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (RZ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: “It is necessary upon a Muslim to listen to and obey the ruler, as long as one is not ordered to carry out a sin. If he is commanded to commit a sin, then there is no adherence and obedience.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 2796 & Sunan Tirmidhi)
This Ramazan stay at home, stay safe, stay blessed.

Ramazan Kareem,

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

 - Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing):

 - "The intelligent person is the one who takes account of himself (subjugates his soul) and works for what comes after death. And the helpless person is the one who follows his desires and then entertains baseless hopes in Allah." (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2459; Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 4260) In an era dominated by hyper-connectivity and endless external noise, the human mind is rarely granted the space to simply pause. While modern psychology heavily promotes mindfulness as an antidote to this existential fatigue, Islamic tradition has long possessed its own highly structured, time-tested system for internal regulation: Muhasabah (spiritual self-auditing).  Far from being a vague, abstract concept, classical Islamic scholars treated self-reflection as an active, daily operational framework—a psychological necessity for purifying the heart and mastering the ego. By exploring the practical models left behind by giants like Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn al-Qayyim , we uncover a time...

# 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...

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...

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...

Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem - Summary

 Quran Juz 1 – Alif Laam Meem Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW •        Surah Fatiha: Fatiha means opener. It comes first as per the sequence in the Quran, but fifth in terms of revelation. •        As per a hadith in Tirmidhi, the likes of Surah Fatiha doesn’t exist in the previously revealed books. •        Fatiha miraculously accumulates all the 5 topics that the entire Quran deals with. They are: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) & Risalah (prophethood), Hereafter, Shariah rules, beautiful ending of the followers of the Qur’anic world order, and the dreadful end to the opposers of it! Hence the reason we’re obliged to recite the essence of Quran – Surah Fatiha in every Ruku of the prayers. •        It also has other names like Surah Kanz, Al-Hamd, Munajaat, Al-Sawal etc. •        Surah Baqarah: Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said that Sahytan doesn’t enter the h...

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.  Thanks, Sherry Click to open: https://www.salahcompanion.us Source: the above information is recieved through whatsapp

Quran Juz 2 – Sayaqulu - Summary

 - Quran Juz 2 – Sayaqulu Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW • The second Juz starts with the mention of change in the Qiblah (direction for prayer) from Masjid Aqsa to the holy Kaba; it was a challenge for the Sahaba because they were following Prophet Muhammed ﷺ in the prayer in Masjid Qiblatain, and the changes took right during the prayer.  • Few Jews taunted Muslims on this change. They were told that all the directions belong to Allah, but the significance likes in following the command of Allah.  • One of the wisdoms of Allah behind the change of Qiblah was let Muslims identify Muslims, and the hidden disbelievers and hypocrites. • This incident also showcases the exaltedness of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ stature in the Court of Allah. He ﷺ wanted Kaba to be the prayer direction, didn’t pray to Allah for it directly, but Allah knew this condition and ordered for the change. • Kaba is sacred and is the direction for prayer, similar...

“My knowledge is growing, but is it causing me to grow?”

A Ramadan of Change – 26 of 30 ** A nightly appointment with an angel ** In Ramadan, the Prophet Mohammad PBUH would be blessed with a nightly appointment with angel Jibreel who’d mutually study with him the Qur’an. Describing this and its effects, Ibnu ‘Abbaas said: كَانَ رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - أجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ في رَمَضَانَ حِيْنَ يَلْقَاهُ جِب...
