Assalaamu alaikum my brothers and sisters in Islam. As we all know that pain is an inevitable part of life.

All praises are due to Allah, we ask Him for His Peace and blessings upon our prophet Muhammad. Here comes a question from our brother which says that “Is my fasting valid without observing Solah?”. Although the questioner wrote the reason behind his question which goes thus: Question: “I have a friend who is a good practicing Mulsim i.e. he observes Solah and he observes some other Islamic principles too. Unlike me, I am just a Mulsim by name, I don’t observe Solah and just once in a while like once in a month whenever my friend and I…

All praises are due to Allah, we ask Him for His Peace and blessings upon our prophet Muhammad.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, my brothers and sisters. We are going to reflect on a matter that touches every human, sickness. When our loved one is unwell, our hearts ache, and we yearn to do something, anything to ease their pain. In Islam, one of the most powerful actions we can take is to make dua for the sick. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught us some dua when visiting the sick. Sickness is one of the many trials that Allah places in our lives to test our patience, faith, and reliance upon Him. It is a reminder…

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. My dear brothers and sisters, there’s nothing as good as what Islam has called us upon: To unite upon goodness. Upon all this goodness, we are to unite as one under the umbrella of Islam which is the greatest brotherhood of all. As we are brothers and sisters in Islam, there are certain rights of a Muslim on another Muslim which we have to observe. The brotherhood in Islam is a bond stronger than blood, a connection that surpasses race, language, and social status. Upon this, Islam encourages us to treat others with…

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. My dear brothers and sisters, we are calling ourselves brothers and sisters in Islam, but do we really know what brotherhood in Islam is?

Have you ever stepped out of your house feeling uneasy, as if you needed Allah’s protection and blessings? Yes, it happens.

As believers, we need to rely on Allah’s guidance, His protection and seek His blessings before leaving our house by reciting the recommended dua when leaving home.
