He will make you poor, so you know only He can make you rich!
He will make you feel low, so you know only He can make you feel good!
He will make you scared, so you know only He can give you security!
He will make you fall, so you know only He can make you rise!
The calamities we…

With Eid very likely to be on Wednesday for majority of Muslims this year, perhaps we can use the time usually spent on arguing about moon sighting or bashing scholars instead on how we keep the spirit of Ramadhan alive going forward, how we help each other and how we must keep…

Sadly after Nights of Qadr, some deflate and think Ramadhan is over. Eid mode starts!

‘Beginning of Ramadan is mercy, mid is forgiveness & the end (of it) is release from hell.’

Prophet Mohammed (s) Bihar 6/96

Don’t waste these last days.

The real challenge starts now!

When starting the a’maal and deeds of Laylatul Qadr, start with Quran recitation and end the night with Quran. Let the Quran encapsulate the night. It’s the night of the Quran. Let it encapsulate your heart. Pledge to keep the Quran next to you all year round. Promise to study…

On the Night of Qadr, instead of only asking Allah (s) to give you things, ask Him to take away things too!

Ask Him to remove envy, hatred, backbiting, anger, greed, use of foul language, lying, mocking others, hypocrisy, deception, self-admiration, arrogance, boasting etc..…

This is wrong and unacceptable

A brother informed me of this new movie in cinemas and on Netflix called ‘The Persian Version’ which has many problems and insults. It mocks the belief in Imam Mehdi (a) and claims he comes to help in animal form as well other unacceptable…

عن الحسن عن الحسن: ان أحسن الحسن الخلق الحسن

Narrated from #Imam Hasan Askari from Imam Hasan Al-Mujtaba (a):

‘The most virtuous of virtues is virtuous morals.'

What’s true success?

Quran tells us: The best days of our lives are those that we seek tawba: forgiveness from Allah!

Imagine the extent that we sometimes got though to make amends with someone we love..we try so many things so they forgive us!

This Ramadhan let’s make every…

This Ramadhan, don’t forget a very important supplication (Du’a). This is to ask Allah (swt) for acceptance of the fasts and deeds. It’s key to all success.

‘Sheikh, can you do an istikhara for me?’

A bit later: ‘It’s now done. It’s not recommended to proceed. Best to avoid. Ayeh (5:73)’

‘But Sheikh do I have to follow it? I was hoping it comes out as good to proceed!’

If you’re favouring an outcome, don’t do an istikhara. Use…

Why don’t you pray?
‘I don’t have time!’
Why don’t you volunteer?
‘I don’t have time!’
Why don’t you recite Qur’an?
‘I don’t have time!’
Why don’t you come to Mosque?
‘I don’t have time!’
Why don’t you read Islamic books?
‘I don’t have time!’

On the day of Judgement, when…

Satan refused to bow down to Adam, and the Muslim who refuses to do their prayers also refuse to bow down to the Lord of Adam!

God then removed Satan from His mercy, yet He is waiting for the one who doesn’t pray to come back!

How merciful is Allah! He calls His servants…

Badr: one of the most important battles in Islamic history. This is the site of the battle, about 150km from Medina. I visited the site last week, remembering the brilliance of Rasulallah and Imam Ali, peace be upon them.

Sometimes our pain and suffering can help millions for generations!

Hagar went back and forth between the mounts of Safa and Marwa looking for water for Ismail. When she eventually discovered Zamzam, she drank, but billions have had the water since then and many more till…
