Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎) is well pleased with them and they are with Him(سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎)

These days, the Deen of Islam has become strange; corruption and chaos is everywhere.

The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has been distorted and Islam has been limited within the confines of our mosques, in fact in many cases, even the pulpits of our very mosques are misrepresenting Islam.

On the other hand, the World's Super Powers together with corrupt Muslim Rulers continue to wage a war against Islam.

In this dire condition, the speaker enlightens us on how in this seemingly difficult situation, how can we gain the pleasure of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎).

Ramadan Refresh

Ramadan is a month where Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) makes it possible for each soul to refresh and where the son of Adam has the opportunity that

As we approach the month of Ramadan, the speaker refreshes our focus on our preparations for Ramadan gaining the fuel we need for our task for renewing our oath and pledge to Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎).

Prior to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia the world was actively engaged in the public announcement of the developments related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis but not seeking a solution.

International Women’s day Celebration or Sorrow?

International women’s day in which women come together globally to celebrate the political, social and economic inroads that women have made in the last century.

The discussion of women’s rights began to take shape in the early 1800s when women were denied the right to vote, denied the right to own property, they were denied entitled entitlement to inheritance, denied education and were generally employed as home helps and paid a meager wage.

It is often said that Women globally have made some progress since the industrial revolution when scores of women entered the work place. 

However, a closer scrutiny at the real situation draws a much different picture.

Join us as the speaker provides understanding on the rights granted to women and the real protection and nurturing that can only be provided with the implementation of Islam.

Takeaways from Isra -The Journey -wal- Miraj-The Ascension

Isra wal Miraj was the ultimate reward of Allah ﷻ to His Prophet ﷺ after a period of tremendous hardship he ﷺ faced in conveying the dawah of Islam.

 

The Prophet ﷺ took a night journey from al Masjid al Haram to Masjid al Aqsa and ascended to the heavens by the will of Allahﷻ Might. His ﷺ patience, steadfastness and dedication was rewarded with meeting The Only One Creator ﷻ.

 

Join the speaker as he guides us through the miraculous night-journey and the ultimate takeaways for us today.

From Ahad Ahad(the One! the One!) to Allahu Akbar!-(Allah is the Greatest!)

Muslims globally are tested daily with trials of some sort or face extreme oppression.

Be it Bilal (RA) screaming Ahad! Ahad! (the One! the One!) while facing torture from his master in Mecca at the beginning of the message of Islam or our Sister Muskan screaming Allahu Akbar (Allahu Akbar! Allah is the Greatest) in face of a Hindutva mob today-- The message unequivocally remains the same! 

Join the speaker as he explains both of these responses and reminds us of what Muslims should strive for to eliminate the oppression.

Should there be a Black History Month?

Should there be a Black History Month?

The speaker discusses this question by exploring the life & mindset of Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X) upon accepting Islam.

Muslim Families - Cultivating Confident Youth

An identity crisis and crisis of Iman has developed among many young Muslims, where they have become enticed by the Western liberal lifestyle and system, shaping their thoughts, inclinations, aspirations, and allegiances upon it. 

Many have come to view Islam as simply a set of rituals and rules and hence irrelevant to their lives or the issues of the modern world, while others have become resentful or doubtful about their Islamic beliefs, leading to the abandonment of their Deen.

The challenges and current state of the future generation of the Muslims is one of the most vital issues for this Ummah and the future of its Deen.

Join the speaker has he tackles the issues and provides solutions to parents & youth on cultivating confident Muslims.

Warning to those who convey Islam- Surah Al-Lahab - Surah Al-Masad

The speaker uses the incidents surrounding the revelation of Surah Al-Lahab (Surah Al-Masad - 111) to brilliantly illuminate the firmness of the delivery of the message of Islam by the Prophet Muhammad (saw).

SubhanAllah, the strength & vigor was continued by the Sahabah (RA) when they engaged in strong intellectual debates with the disbelievers.

Today however, we see a very different and unfortunate approach when conveying Islam.

Join the speaker as he warns us about incorrectly delivering the message of Islam and cultures us on how to engage ideologically when conveying the message.

What makes a Confident Muslim?

Muslims have been left distant from the Islamic culture – and though the Clear love of Islam remains undiminished and in fact is growing; unfortunately, pragmatism, compromise and incorrect argumentation often characterize Muslim responses to prominent issues pertaining to Islam.

 

How can we build our Islamic Personality and that of our youth to counter and stand firm as Confident Muslims?

Understanding Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ ) - the Most High -Surah Al A’ala 1-7

 

No Muslim will deny the fact that Allah (Swt) is the creator of Mankind. 

However, there persists ideas on evolution (i.e. man coming from apes), accepting rulings other than what Allah(سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ ) has decreed, and even making ideas/concepts higher than what Allah(swt) has provided. 

Join the speaker as he deciphers the meaning of Surah Al A’ala (1-7) and understanding the meaning of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ ) being the Most High.

Holding Back in Conveying Islam

As the speaker continues with understanding of Surah Takwir Ayats 15-29, we come across the mission of the Prophet ﷺ . 

The Prophet ﷺ  was sent by Allahسُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ with Islam, with a mission to make it prevail as an ‘Aqeedah and a Shariah, to take mankind out of the darkness and into the Light of Islam.

There was absolutely no holding back for Prophet ﷺ  in conveying the message of Islam.

Let’s reflect on ourselves today and question or effort, energy and enthusiasm for our responsibility of conveying the dawah to Islam.

Does Islamic Shariah take humanity back or move it forward

Clearly, American & the West fear Sharia- Islam’s legal framework.

The fear permeates from falsehoods about Islam and many of them center on what sharia is and what it is not.

 

Join the speaker as he expertly explains about Islam's Legal Framework and what it has to offer mankind.

What Mankind will be asked about Women’s Rights on the Day of Judgment?

Surah At-Takwir (Verses 1-14) opens up with some shocking and mind shattering descriptions on the physical events of the day of judgment.

One of the most impactful is the testimony of the girl‑child buried alive asking "for sin she was slain". 

The speaker takes us through the journey on this great day and focuses on the responsibilities we have towards removing the oppression of Women that we see today.

Being true to Surah Al-Fatihah

Surah Al-Fatihah has a great position in Islam and many blessings as well as a central place in the heart and daily life of Muslims.

What drives youth to TikTok Challenges?

As the name suggests, a TikTok challenge "challenges" the viewer to take some action and record it for sharing on the social media app TikTok. 

Dangerous challenges have emerged inciting students to bring weapons to schools as well as other challenges encouraging violent behavior.

What is causing our youth to follow these challenges? How can this be stopped?

Why is the World NOT led by Muslims

Why is the World not led by Muslims?

 

A profound explanation of the following comment/ question using Surah Al-Fatihah: -

"In the past when Muslims were very few (in numbers), and resources were limited, but as an Ummah we were leading the world. Today, by numbers we are many and by resources Allah (swt) has blessed us with many resources, but look at the Muslim Ummah's status in the world, we are nowhere close to the way the Ummah was in the past."

 

Why is current situation as an Ummah like that?

Kyle Rittenhouse & Ahmaud Arbery- Was Justice Served?

Kyle Rittenhouse and the Ahmaud Arbery cases saw similar claims of self-defense but far different outcomes.

Prosecutors in Georgia and in Wisconsin both used show-and-tell techniques, displaying the guns that were fired with deadly results.

Both prosecutors made nearly identical arguments against self-defense.

But in the Georgia case against three men, the verdicts were nearly all guilty and in Kyle Rittenhouse's Wisconsin case, the verdict was not guilty.

Join the speaker as he guides us on a path of understanding the meaning of Tawakkul and how Youth can achieve it. 

What is Difference of Opinion- Ikhtilaf in simple terms?

It is often argued that difference of opinion causes division, sectarianism, partisanship and conflict within societies.

However, Ikhtilaf or difference of opinion between Muslims has existed as long as Islam itself.
While it is indeed healthy to have a diversity of views it can also be problematic if the concept and rules of differences of opinion are not understood.

Join this profound Q&A discussion on the foundations of rulings and the understanding of difference of opinion (Ikhtilaf).

Divine Duty- Reflecting on the Justice of Umar radhiAllahu anhu

The Greatest Man with a Mission

Imagine a man who had a normal life-- a wife, children,  job/livelihood,  close-knit interrelated family, and a larger tribe. Then a day came when all of this was interrupted by an angel sent by a creator and delivered this man with a Mission.

 

Muslims testify that the Prophet (ﷺ ) was sent by Allah(سبحانه وتعالى) with Islam, a mission to make it prevail as an ‘Aqeedah(Creed)  to take mankind out of the darkness and into the Light of Islam.

As we observe in this month the birth and death of the greatest man that ever lived, what has become of this Mission / Project?

Mastering Critical Thinking- An Essential tool for every Student

Mastering Critical Thinking- an Essential tool for every Student

High School and College / University students are tasked with engaging and expanding their thinking skills. One of the most important of these skills is critical thinking.

In fact, the necessity of critical thinking is more obvious than ever in a world where fake news, scams and hoaxes are part of everyday life.
