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,

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...

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...

# 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...

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...

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...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

- Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it. - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

- Quran Juz 3 – Tilkar Rusul Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J14FpM5kWL0IABAtM0SnRW • Every prophet and messenger of Allah (peace be upon them) is highly respectable. • Just like Prophet Muhammed ﷺ excels over other prophets, his Ummah excels over other prophets’ nations. • Despite sending messengers and prophets, Allah didn’t force humanity to accept Islam, rather left if to its choice. • Basis this choice, all of humanity will be questioned on the Day of Judgement (about its choice of religion and deeds). • Humanity is advised to do good deeds and beautify its hereafter, as relations, requests (except who Allah grants permission), and negotiations will not benefit. • Ayat al-Kursi is the 255th verse of Surah Baqah, which is the most honored Quranic verse, as it magnificently reflects Tawheed (Oneness of Allah...

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...

We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more:

- August-04-2021. Today's learning: **Money controlling efforts:* *Introduction:* Islam has always reminded us to address the human problems by continuously checking and balancing the wealth, instead of remaining in the hands of few.So, the method of rotation must keep going on, in order to allow the free flow of money between all the people. No matter what, ultimately even after our great efforts to hoard it, one day or the other it's going to leave us eventually. *Hard earned money:* Islam says that hard earned money's value is more loved by Allah subhanahu wa taala as was earned by Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him).Allah made the iron smooth for him to turn it into different shapes and make it a useful commodity/good. Once Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about the best job, and he replied by saying. "A job that is done by one's own hand,and every decent trade. Hadith Imam Ahmed (16628). *Methods of utilising:* One could spe...
