What's beyond Luxury

Drawing from the sacrifices of Mus'ab ibn Umair (RA), the wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ, and the urgent lessons of today’s Ummah, the speaker challenges the audience to rethink their relationship with the dunya and their divine purpose.

In an age flooded with wealth, comfort, and distractions and illusions to sincerely question: Will we be dignified like the Sahabah, or humiliated by our pursuit of this world?

Our Hearts Were United—What Happened

What if the unity we Muslims talk about... is already written in our hearts—but we keep tearing it apart with our actions?

In this deeply reflective episode, the speaker takes listeners on a journey through history, the Qur’an, and today’s tragedies—from tribal warfare in pre-Islamic Arabia to the genocide in Gaza—highlighting one eternal truth: Allah(swt) already united our hearts, but we’ve abandoned His guidance.

Are we truly fulfilling the responsibility Allah(swt) placed on this Ummah, or have we surrendered to borders, pride, and silence?

Living one of the Devastating Stories in the Qur’an – Surah Al-A‘raf

What if we are living one of the most devastating stories from the Qur’an… without even realizing it?

The sheik brings to life a haunting warning for us from Surah Al-A‘raf—the story of a man gifted with divine signs, only to detach and follow his desires.

Are we clinging to the earth when Allah has called us to go otherwise?
More importantly, how can we correct ourselves?

What If we Died Tomorrow?

With death looming as the inevitable certainty, the speaker demands deep reflection from every Muslim: If tomorrow was our last day, what legacy would we leave?

This message awakens the Ummah to reclaim its divine purpose — not just as believers, but as protectors, leaders, and agents of justice for all humanity.

The question is no longer what’s happening in Gaza, Sudan, or Kashmir — it’s what are you doing about it?

Let's Choose- Divine Guidance or Majority Opinion

In a time when the Muslim Ummah is tested by compromise, distraction, and relentless oppression, this powerful reflection from the Sheik challenges listeners to confront an uncomfortable truth: have we replaced divine guidance with majority opinion?

As the Ummah enters another year of confusion and conflict, the sheik provides clear cut answers.

Its time We Break the Silence

It’s time We Break the Silence

With the world witnessing sustained and unfolding genocide in Gaza and widespread oppression, the sheik reminds us the Ummah that history is not just to be studied—it’s to be lived. 

Drawing on the unwavering conviction of Abu Bakr (RA), the speaker challenges Muslims today to ask:
Will we merely admire the past—or rise with purpose in the present?

What case will we present before Allah(swt) on the Day of Judgment

Let’s reflect on the global silence on the issue of Gaza and beyond.  More importantly let’s focus on our own role in allowing the atrocities to continue. 

With every plea for justice and every cry from the oppressed, the question echoes louder:
What case will we present before Allah(swt) on the Day of Judgment?

 

 

EID Al-Fitr 2025 A Call for Global Responsibility

EID Al-Fitr 2025: A Call for Global Responsibility

In this deeply profound Eid message, the speaker draws us into a deeper awareness of our Eid celebration to reveal the immense responsibility we carry as an Ummah.

Amidst joy and prayer, he invites listeners to reflect:

• How can we be the best nation brought forth for mankind if our brothers and sisters across the world continue to suffer?
• What does it truly mean to lead, to unite, and to carry the mission of justice?

This Eid khutbah honors the blessings of Ramadan—and asks with a heavy heart:
When will we rise as an Ummah—led not just in prayer—but in purpose and mission for the sake of all the oppressed Muslims not only in Gaza and the world, but for all of humanity?

Congratulations on the Blessed Eid Al-Fitr -Shawwal 1446 AH (Arabic with English Translation in Text Post)

Announcement of the Results of the Investigation of the New Moon of Shawwal 1446 AH
Congratulations on the Blessed Eid Al-Fitr
(Translated)
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Ila Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa Lillahi Alhamd

Bismillahi Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon the best of messengers, our master Mohammad, and upon all his family and companions...

Bukhari extracted in his Sahih on the authority of Muhammad Bin Ziyad that he said, I heard Abu Hurairah (ra) say: that the Prophet (saw) said, or he said: Abu Al-Qasim (saw) said: «صوموا لِرُؤيتِهِ وأَفْطِرُوا لرؤيتِهِ فإنْ غُـبِّيَ عليكم فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ»“Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break it on sighting it. But if (due to clouds) the actual position of the moon is concealed from you, you should then complete thirty days.”

After investigating the new moon of Shawwal on this blessed eve of Sunday, the sighting of the new moon has been confirmed according to the Shariah requirements. Accordingly, tomorrow, Sunday, will be the first day of the month of Shawwal and the first day of the blessed Eid al-Fitr.

On this occasion, Hizb ut Tahrir extends its sincere congratulations to the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of blessed Eid al-Fitr, asking Allah to bring it back next year with its state established, its Deen empowered, and its honorable Islam glorified. I also extend special congratulations, on behalf of myself and the Head of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir and all the brothers and sisters working in its departments and units, to the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, the eminent scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu al-Rashtah (may Allah protect him). We ask Allah (swt) to grant him success in fulfilling the glad tidings of the Messenger of Allah (saw) of the establishment of the second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood at his hands.

While we are pained by the decades-long scourge of wars that have plagued our Islamic Ummah, as one de-escalates another erupts, decimating its people and claiming their lives—not least is the brutal war that has been ongoing against our people in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7, 2023—we nevertheless anticipate a change that is beginning to unfold, transforming the state of the Islamic Ummah from one of killing and humiliation to one of victory and glory, and, Allah willing, bringing an end to the Ummah's tragedies.

Since the Arab Spring revolutions, then Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa and the fall of the criminal Bashar al-Assad, the Islamic Ummah has been in a state of turmoil and conflict with the reality imposed upon it by the West. It has become more acutely aware of the ugliness of this reality and more eager to free itself from it. It has grown closer to Islam, becoming stronger and more determined to confront its rulers in an attempt to reclaim its authority from them.

The Ummah has experienced the toll of remaining under the yoke of agent regimes. It has witnessed with its own eyes the rulers' squandering of its wealth to the kuffar, colonialist West, their abandonment of it and its causes, their prevention of armies from mobilizing to rescue Palestine from the clutches of the criminal Jews, the blatant Western interference in its religion and its integrity, and the attempt to force it to bow its head to the Jewish entity, leaving it with the choice between normalization and death. All these scenes and events have made it realize that without the rule of Islam, it will remain colonized, targeted, and humiliated. Its conviction of its need for a Khilafah (Caliphate) state has been strengthened, and indeed, the Khilafah (Caliphate) has become its quest.

By the grace of Allah, the Ummah has begun to find its way and no longer accepts postponing the implementation of Islam as a way of life. It has a clear and blatant aversion to secularism. In Ash-Sham, it is demanding that its new rulers declare it purely for Allah alone, and in all the lands, it is monitoring them, asking Allah to grant them success and guidance.

The West is at its weakest point in controlling the Ummah, and therefore it is at its fiercest, trying to tighten its grip on Muslims and their countries. That is why we have seen its direct and proxy wars, lava poured on the Islamic Ummah and its countries, killing and destroying entire countries. We also see it eager to steal their wealth, and all of that is only because it realizes that this is its last dance before it loses its influence and agents in Muslim countries, irrevocably.

It is true that someone might say that the West possesses a massive killing machine and has agents controlling the Muslims. It controls the world's essential facilities, monitors Muslim countries, spies on them, and counts their breaths. However, the West are humans like us. As we witness, Allah has preoccupied the West with itself, and their hearts have become divided. We are the people of these lands, they are strangers to them, so we are the strongest in them. Furthermore, the Islamic Ummah has engaged in direct conflict with the West in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria, and elsewhere, and it has become clear that wherever efforts were sincere and concerted, the West has been defeated and withdrew. Its return to these lands was only because the rulers conspired against it once again, and exposed their backs to them so that it could stab them in the back. This brings us to the inescapable truth: the West cannot confront the Islamic Ummah except with the support of traitorous rulers. This has been its practice since the destruction of the Khilafah until today. Therefore, the Islamic Ummah must rid itself of the agent rulers and feed the enemy into a unified effort under a sincere leadership like Hizb ut Tahrir to achieve this goal and regain its strength. There is only a thin thread between the Ummah and victory.

O Muslims: Liberation can be achieved at any moment. You have seen how Allah (swt) has sent down victory upon you in many places. You were victorious when you sincerely worked for the sake of Allah alone. Allah (swt):

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ]

“O believers! If you stand up for Allah, He will help you and make your steps firm” [Muhammad: 7].

With Allah's help and the determination of Muslim youth, you were able to impose a new reality on the West in Ash-Sham, Afghanistan, and Palestine. The Kaffir West is weaker than it appears.

To those working in the field of creating public opinion: Do not occupy your Ummah with narrow ideas and distractions that waste efforts. Rather, direct your efforts toward guiding it toward implementing Islamic law as a complete and uncompromising system of life. Support it so that it can free itself from the oppression of Sykes-Picot and return to thinking and acting as a single Ummah, so that the West will not be able to confront it.

O People of Power and Protection: This is your opportunity to take the hand of the Ummah towards dignity and empowerment, and to free it from the criminal rulers, and from the domination of the kaffir colonizers over it.  You can now see the arrogance of the West and its crimes against your Ummah, your lands and your wealth. So be like Saad, As’ad and Usaid, to write the pages of the future with ink of light as was written by your righteous predecessors, the supporters of the Messenger of Allah (saw). So, hasten, O officers and general staff of the Muslim armies, and do not fear anyone but Allah, for He is Al Qahir (Subduer) over His servants and He is Able to do all things. Allah (swt) says:

[إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ اللهُ فَلاَ غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا الَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّن بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللهِ فَلْيَتَوَكِّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ]

“If Allah helps you, none can defeat you. But if He denies you help, then who else can help you? So in Allah let the believers put their trust” [Aali-Imran: 160].

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La illaha illa Allah… Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa Lillahil Hamd

May Allah accept your good deeds, Eid Mubarak

The eve of Sunday is the first day of the month of Shawwal for the Hijri year of 1446 corresponding to 30 March 2025 CE.

The Moon Sighting Controversy Uncovered

The Moon Sighting Controversy Uncovered

In a world with nearly 2 billion Muslims, how is it possible we still break our fasts on different days?

Why does the start of Eid come with confusion rather than celebration?

The Prophet ﷺ made it simple: "Fast when you see it. Break your fast when you see it." That’s it. No computations. No chaos. Just sincerity, unity, and submission to the natural order Allah set.

Join the scholar as he powerfully explains the moon sighting controversy—what the confusion stems from, and provides evidences that not only solves the controversy, but also the division as an Ummah.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 28- An Earth-shaking Surah

Tonight, we reflect on a short but earth-shaking surah!

Surah Az-Zalzalah—only eight ayat, but its words thunder with truth, shaking the soul as the Earth itself will shake on that Final Day.

“When the Earth is shaken with its ultimate quake…”

This isn’t just a metaphor. This is the end. The final trembling of a world that ignored its purpose.

Skyscrapers, nations, thrones, weapons, armies—all reduced to dust.
The earth will vomit out its secrets—every buried body, every hidden crime, every quiet deed done in the shadows.

“And man will cry out: What is wrong with it?”

Too late! The world they thought was theirs is testifying against them.

This surah doesn’t just tell you the Day of Judgment is coming—it demands you live with that Day in mind.

That our actions and deeds matter. That nothing is small in the eyes of Allah(swt).

We Fasted—But Did we Fulfill the Mission?

In Ramadan, Millions fast. Millions bow, Millions weep in du’a’.

But did we fulfill the mission set forth by Allah(swt)? 

Ramadan was never just a season of “hunger”—it was the annual call to rise, to revive, to realign with the mission of the Prophet ﷺ. A mission that began with light, truth, and resistance. A mission to liberate mankind from the chains of darkness—not just personal sins, but the tyrannies that suffocate societies.

The Ummah is not suffering from weak Iman—but from a forgotten mission.

We inherited this mission from the Prophet ﷺ who left us with a trust: to carry Islam forward, to implement it, to revive it and bring Allah’s justice to this Earth for all of mankind.

Join the sheik as he explains how we should take this Ramadan as a time to recharge and most importantly a time to respond.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 27- We Have the Qur’an—So Why Are We Still Oppressed?

In every masjid across the globe, millions of Muslims bow in unison, reciting verses from the unchanged, unmatched Book of Allah, yet our Ummah continues to bleed. We believe in the same Qur’an, we follow the same Prophet ﷺ, and we act with sincerity—but something is missing!

We are told, "This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for the God-conscious,” and yet, the world’s most God-conscious people are the most persecuted.

From Gaza to Sudan, from Myanmar to Kashmir, the cries of the oppressed pierce the skies—while the world watches silently. Is our faith not sincere enough? Are our du’as not loud enough?

Don’t miss this extremely profound message from the Sheik on what’s missing and how we can implement it to save all of Ummah and humanity at large!

Taraweeh Teachings Day 26- I Wish I Had Done More

In the 30th Juz of the Qur'an, nearly 36 surahs were revealed in Mecca, at a time when the Prophet ﷺ was not just calling to Islam but confronting a corrupt society head-on.

These Meccan surahs weren’t just about individual worship—they were a bold challenge to societal ills.

Surahs like Al-Mutaffifin and Al-Fajr peel back the layers of injustice—showing how arrogance, materialism, and moral decay dominated Meccan society. And yet, these weren’t just historical criticisms—they were divine reminders of the Day of Accountability, when Jahannam is brought forth and every soul will cry out, “I wish I had done something for my life!”

Calling for Islam isn’t just about feel-good messages—it’s about diagnosing societal corruption and showing that Islam is the solution.

Let’s ask ourselves- When we face injustice, economic exploitation, or moral confusion, will be be the ones that speak up, just as our Prophet ﷺ did?

Taraweeh Teachings Day 25- The Most Terrifying Question the Prophet (saw) Asked

“He(swt) created death and life to test you.” In Surah al-Mulk, Allah doesn’t mention life first—He(swt) mentions death first. Why?

Life is the test, and death is when it ends—when we turn in the paper, and the grades come from the Almighty. In these last ten nights of Ramadan, this ayah reminds us that the goal is not who collected the most—money, cars, degrees, or applause—but who did the best deeds with sincerity and ikhlas.

The contrast in Surah al-Mulk is sobering: are you the one who crawls blindly, face down in confusion, chasing fleeting pleasures? Or are you the one who walks upright, guided by purpose and revelation, heading toward Allah with clarity? The Prophet ﷺ once responded to a man asking about the Day of Judgment by asking, “What have you prepared for it?” That’s the real question.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 24-When Love Becomes a Test A Warning from Allah

The piercing verses of Surat At-Taghabun, where Allah warns: “Indeed, among your spouses and your children are enemies to you—so beware of them.”

It’s a verse that shakes us—because the enemy isn’t always an outsider. Sometimes it’s the pressure from those closest to us—pressures that push us to compromise our deen, chase status over sincerity, and fall into disobedience in the name of love or comfort.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 23- The Day the Moon Split and We Ignored the Signs

The hour is near, and the signs are clear—but are we truly awake? Allah split the moon as a miracle for Quraysh, yet they dismissed it as magic. Today, we too witness countless signs in our lives—blessings, warnings, and moments of hidayah—yet we delay our change. Surah Al-Qamar and the Prophet ﷺ’s vivid description of the Day of Judgment paint a chilling picture: mountains reduced to dust, the earth flattened, silence across creation, and every soul driven to accountability. On that day, arrogance will shatter, and nothing will remain but our deeds in the court of the Almighty.

What will come of this day for us?

Juz’u `Amma – Part 30 of the Qur'an - Youth Recitation

Juz’u `Amma – Part 30 of the Qur'an
Recitation of Juz’u  ‘Amma by Hafiz Shams & Asad

Juz’u  ‘Amma  is  the  most  commonly  recited  and  memorized  portion  of  the  Qur’ān.  It contains thirty-seven sūrahs, all of which were revealed in Makkah with the exception of al-Bayyinah and an-Naṣr.  Because these sūrahs were revealed during the earliest stages of the prophetic mission and were being recited primarily to an audience of unbelievers and skeptics, their objective is to awaken the unconscious and implant faith in the heart.  Varying in length, all are relatively short sūrahs with essentially similar themes.

These early revelations came in powerful language consisting of short, concise but eloquent sentences; their literary style was so unique that it attracted a great deal of attention.  Logical evidences supported the universal truths expressed within them.  Their verses exposed the errors  of  the  idolaters  and  criticized  their  blind adherence  to  a  religion  of  unsanctioned customs.  They convey basic principles of morality, ethics and righteous conduct taught by all prophets as an indispensable part of
Allah's (سبحانه وتعالى) religion.  And they refute the misconception that man is self-sufficient, independent of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى)and unaccountable to Him.

As is generally the case with Makkan revelation, the emphasis in Juz’u ‘Amma is on essential beliefs – in particular, the issues of tawḥeed, the Prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ) and the life after death.  Al-Qiyāmah (the Resurrection) is described vividly in several of its sūrahs as a terrifying, overwhelming event.  Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) had said,  "Whoever would  like  to  perceive  the  Day  of  Resurrection  as  if  with  his  own  eyes  may  recite  Sūrahs  at-Takweer, al-Infiṭār and al-Inshiqāq."53  Subject matter includes: the creative power of Allah(سبحانه وتعالى)as observed in the phenomena of nature on earth and in the heavens, the inevitable  and complete manifestation of that power in the Hereafter, the Lord's mercy and countless favors to mankind, the arrogance and ingratitude shown by most of mankind, the consequences of belief and denial, threat against evildoers and promise of reward for the righteous.  

There are also some brief references to earlier prophets and divine retribution upon those who opposed them. The  unbelievers  are  admonished  for  their  ignorance  and  immorality, their  opposition  to  truth  and  their  persecution  of the  believers. 

Allah(سبحانه وتعالى) warns that every individual will be held fully accountable for his actions and intentions at the final account and judgment, and that each will find just recompense for his deeds, both good and evil, in an eternal life to come.

Ramadan Reflection Day 20- What Gaza Needs The Spirit of Mecca’s Liberation– Dr. Abdul Wahid

The Liberation of Mecca—a moment that reshaped history—took place during the sacred month of Ramadan, most commonly marked on the 20th day. After the Quraysh’s allies violated a ceasefire agreement, the Prophet ﷺ saw the moment had come. With 10,000 disciplined Muslims moving toward Mecca, fully armed yet under strict orders to avoid bloodshed, the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated unmatched strength tempered with mercy.

Today, as Gaza bleeds and Palestine remains under brutal occupation, this monumental event is not just history—it’s a roadmap.

Ramadan Reflection Day 20- What the Liberation of Mecca Teaches Us Today– Dr. Abdul Wahid

In the blessed month of Ramadan, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ led a defining moment in Islamic history: the peaceful liberation of Mecca. Despite a force of 10,000 Muslims prepared for battle, the Prophet commanded restraint, emphasizing mercy over vengeance.

As we witness the ongoing oppression in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine, surrounded by capable yet inactive Muslim nations, the lesson from Mecca becomes urgent. The strength of unity, principled leadership, and the vision of Islamic civilization offer a path forward.

Just as Mecca embraced peace, so too can Palestine be liberated—not through chaos, but by reviving the Prophetic model of strength, mercy, and resolve.

Ramadan Reflection Day 19-Ramadan Reflection Day 19- Gaza - Pharaoh and the Power of Divine Justice– Dr. Abdul Wahid

In a time when the horrors from Gaza flood our screens and weigh heavily on our hearts, a timeless verse from the Qur’an offers a beacon of hope and perspective. Allah (swt) says:

وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً

And We intend to favor those who were held as weak in the land and to make them leaders. Surah Al-Qasas (28:5)

It reminds us of Allah’s divine promise—to elevate the oppressed, to grant them victory, and to establish them as rightful inheritors of the land. The very tyrants who seek to crush them will live to witness the rise of those they tried to bury.

This reflection powerfully connects the struggles of Bani Isra’il with the current oppression faced by the people of Gaza.

The story of the believer from Pharaoh’s people offers a profound lesson in unwavering faith and the stark contrast between truth and tyranny. As Pharaoh falsely claims to guide his people while leading them into corruption, the true believer calls them towards righteousness and the eternal home of the Hereafter.

Ramadan Reflection Day 18- The Blessed Status of Al Aqsa and Al Quds– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Ramadan Reflection Day 18- The Blessed Status of Al Aqsa and Al Quds– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Why is Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa so important in Islam?

Allah states in Surah Al-Isra:

"Glory be to the One Who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing." (Quran 17:1)

This verse alone establishes the sanctity, blessing, and immense importance of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa and its surroundings in Bilad Al-Sham (Greater Syria, including Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria).

At a time where we are witnessing the oppression of the people of Al-Quds and Gaza, join Dr. Wahid as he details the great importance of  The Blessed Status of Al Aqsa and Al Quds and asks Will we be among those who defend Al-Aqsa with our voices, actions, and prayers, or will we let history repeat itself?

Taraweeh Teachings Day 18- Dhikr is More Than Just Words

Saying SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah is important, but true dhikr extends beyond words.

This constant remembrance is not just through words but through our hearts, actions, and consciousness. When we continuously remember Allah, we draw closer to His mercy, protection, and guidance.

Allah’s remembrance is not just for rewards—it is a path out of darkness and into the light of guidance, truth, and justice.

As we reflect this Ramadan, let us not just read the Quran—let us live it, implement it, and work to restore the justice it commands.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 17- Fear or Faith

When confronted with truth, do we submit—or do we make excuses?

The Quraysh of Mecca, like many today, believed in Allah—but only in name.

When the Prophet ﷺ called them to implement Allah’s guidance in every aspect of life, they responded with fear:

"If we follow the guidance with you, we will be swept away from our land." (Surah Al-Qasas: 57)

Fear of losing their status, wealth, and security held them back from submitting to the very Lord who sustained them, protected them, and provided for them. They failed to realize that the peace of Mecca, its prosperity, and its trade were not from their intelligence or strength, but from Allah alone.

This fear did not die with them. Today, when Islam calls for true implementation, the same argument is made.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 16- If You Slipped, It's Better for You-A lesson in Humaility & Mercy

What if your guidance was not your achievement, but a test of your humility?

Too often, we look at the faults of others and feel superior. We compare our prayers, our actions, and our piety to theirs, as if we have earned our place through our deeds alone.

But the truth is stark—our righteousness is not ours. It is a mercy from Allah.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 15- Our Parents: A Path to Jannah or Humiliation-YoUTH FOCUSED

What if your parents could be your key to Jannah—or the reason for your humiliation?

We live in a time where independence is glorified, and the moment a child turns 18, the bond between parents and children begins to weaken.
Society teaches us that our obligations end when we become adults. Islam teaches the opposite.

How many times have we sighed in annoyance at our parents? Rolled our eyes? Ignored their calls? What if those moments were recorded as lost chances for Jannah?

We all have moments of neglect. But Alhamdulillah we still have an opportunity!

Will we take advantage of the blessing of our parents while we still have them, or will we live to regret it?

Taraweeh Teachings Day 14- The Power of Alhamdulillah

Taraweeh Teachings Day 14- The Power of Alhamdulillah

How do you respond when someone asks,

“How are you?”

Is it just “I’m Cool”, “I’m fine,” or “I’m managing”—or do you say, “Alhamdulillah” with conviction?

This simple phrase, Alhamdulillah, is more than just words. It’s a declaration of faith, resilience, and submission to Allah’s divine plan. It’s an acknowledgment that everything—good or bad—comes from Him, and in it, there is goodness, even when we don’t see it.

Saying Alhamdulillah is not just a habit—it is a way of life, a shield against despair, and a pathway to ultimate success.

The Real Test of Our Faith Standing Against Oppression

How have we come to a time where injustice is normalized, oppression is excused, and truth is silenced?

This sharp contrast has shaken us again this week when a Palestinian activist, Mahmoud Khalil, is detained without charge, torn from his family, his rights stripped away for speaking out against oppression. On the other, criminals convicted of drug offenses are freed without question, because their release was requested by the powerful. 

A system. A world built on hypocrisy, where power dictates justice, and oppression is rewarded. And where do we, as Muslims, stand? Are we among those who watch in silence, or are we fulfilling our divine duty to uphold justice?

Listen to the Sheik as he explains what our responsibility is to standing against oppression.

Justice and Ihsan The Key to Revival

Every Jumu'ah, as the khutbah concludes, we hear the powerful verse from Surah An-Nahl (16:90):

“Indeed, Allah commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives, and He forbids immorality, wrongdoing, and oppression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed.”

This is not merely a verse we hear at the end of Jumu’ah.

Join the Sheik as he navigates us to understanding our responsibilities.

Taraweeh Teachings Day 13- Path to Forgiveness: Allah(swt)’s Invitation

What if all your sins could be erased?

What if every mistake, every moment of disobedience, every transgression against Allah could be wiped away?

Would you not run toward that opportunity?

Allah(swt), known as Al-Ghaffar, the Most Forgiving, the Ever-Merciful, calls out to us—promising His forgiveness, but on one condition:

This is our moment!  Let’s Listen and find out that condition.

Ramadan Reflection Day 12- The Day That Defined Islam’s Destiny– Dr. Abdul Wahid

What if the Battle of Badar had never been won? Imagine a world where the Quraysh had crushed the small band of believers, where Islam had never taken root. There would be no Ramadan as we know it, no masajid filled with the echoes of Tarawih, no call to prayer resounding across the lands.

Badar was not just a battle—it was the day that determined the fate of Islam

So ask yourself: Will you carry the legacy of Badar? Will you rise when Islam calls? Or will you sit back, waiting for someone else to take action?

Join this short podcast and discuss how Badar is our history, Badar is our reality and most importantly Badar is our future!

Ramadan Reflection Day 11- Stand Firm Against Mockery– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Ramadan Reflection Day 11- Stand Firm Against Mockery– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Mockery, humiliation, rejection—these were the brutal challenges the Prophet ﷺ faced in the early years of his mission. Yet, in the face of such torment, Allah revealed a powerful command: Proclaim the truth and turn away from those who mock you.

Surah Al-Hijr reminds us that every messenger sent to guide humanity was met with ridicule—from Nuh (AS) to Musa (AS) to Isa (AS). Their people mocked them, belittled them, and resisted the divine message. But in every case, Allah’s promise held true—those who opposed the truth were ultimately defeated.

This message is for us today. As we see Islam mocked and attacked in our time, as we face opposition for upholding the truth, do we hesitate?

Do we soften our stance?

Or do we stand as the Prophet ﷺ did—fearless, unwavering, relying on Allah alone?

Taraweeh Teachings Day 12- Surround Yourself with Those Who Bring You Closer to Allah

Taraweeh Teachings Day 12- Surround Yourself with Those Who Bring You Closer to Allah

Who do you keep in your company? Who do you surround yourself with? Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ—and us—to stay with those who call upon Him, day and night, seeking His pleasure and His mercy.

So ask yourself: Who do you walk with? Where are they leading you?

Taraweeh Teachings Day 10- The White Hair Surahs

Islam has never been an easy path.

From the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to today, carrying this message has always come with trials, opposition, and struggle. Surah Hud and Surah Yunus stand as a powerful reminder—a reminder so profound that the Prophet ﷺ himself said they caused his hair to turn white.

Find out Why?!

Taraweeh Teachings Day 9- The Greatest Gift- A Reason to Rejoice Beyond This World

Taraweeh Teachings Day 9- The Greatest Gift- A Reason to Rejoice Beyond This World

What is worth celebrating in this life? Wealth, success, material achievements?

Allah tells us in Surah Yunus (Ayah 57-58) that true joy lies elsewhere.

"O mankind! There has come to you an instruction from your Lord, a healing for what is in the hearts, a guidance, and a mercy for the believers. Say: In the bounty of Allah and His mercy—let them rejoice in that. It is better than whatever they accumulate." (Yunus 57-58)

Ramadan Reflection Day 10- A Warning We Cannot Ignore– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Ramadan Reflection Day 10- A Warning We Cannot Ignore– Dr. Abdul Wahid

In Islam, how much does it take to be counted among the wrongdoers?

Standing beside them?
Aiding them?
What if merely inclining towards them is enough to bring the wrath of Allah?

In Surah Hud, Allah warns:
"Do not incline towards those who do wrong, lest the Fire touch you. And you will have no protector besides Allah, nor shall you be helped."

This is a terrifying warning—one that we must reflect on deeply. Where do we stand? Are we truly on the side of justice, or have we unknowingly inclined toward oppression?

Ramadan Reflection Day 9- Zakat and the Role of Leadership– Dr. Abdul Wahid

Ramadan is a time when many rush to give sadaqah and pay their zakat, seeking the immense rewards promised by Allah. But have we forgotten a crucial aspect of this obligation?

Ramadan Reflection Day 8- Breaking the Gender Wars – Dr. Abdul Wahid

In a world where men and women are increasingly set against each other, battling in so-called "gender wars," we are reminded of an eternal truth—Allah (SWT) has already defined our roles, our purpose, and our relationship with one another.

Last night’s recitation from Surah At-Tawbah revealed a perspective completely different from the confrontational, divisive mindset we see today.

Join in and learn how we can understand and embrace it.
