The story that proves no one is too far from Allah (SWT)
Among the first stories that Allah (SWT) revealed to humanity is the story of Prophet Adam (AS) to serve as a deeply personal lesson for every soul that will walk the earth. Prophet Adam (AS) was the first human being, the first prophet, and the first to experience the weight of a mistake. But, more […]
The deeds that rewarded her the greatest husband on earth
In every generation, Allah (SWT) chooses certain individuals whose faith, intellect, and presence serve as guiding lights for the rest of the Ummah. One such radiant figure is Lady Umm Salamah bint Abi Umayyah, and she was a woman of profound courage, grace, and insight. Often remembered as one of the noble Mother of the […]
This is the impact Hajj has on your akhirah
Every year, millions of Muslims leave behind their homes, their routines, and their identities to answer a call that began with Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and was sealed by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). They don the same simple white cloth. They walk the same ground, and they say the same words, “Labbayk allahumma labbayk, here […]
Leadership in Islam begins with helping those in need
There are people who walk quietly among us with no title, no fame, and no social media followers but who, in the sight of Allah (SWT), are the most influential people to have ever roamed the earth. Not because of how many eyes they’ve captivated, but because of how many people they have served, and […]
If compassion had a name, it would be Lady Zaynab bint Khuzaymah
In the vast and luminous history of Islam, there are names that shine brightly. Names that echo from minbar to minbar, remembered in khutbahs, biographies and classrooms. Yet, among them, there are some who remain less spoken about, not because their virtue was any less, but because their time was brief and their presence understated. […]
What hate speech gets wrong about Islam
In a world filled with noise, words can either build bridges or burn them. On this International Day for Countering Hate Speech, we pause to reflect on the kind of hate speech that divides communities, dehumanizes individuals, and targets innocent people simply because of their identity and, particularly, their faith. For Muslims, hate speech is […]
The woman whose marriage freed a hundred souls
Some people enter Islam through dawah, others discover it through deep reflection. And some, like Lady Juwairiyah bint al-Harith, enter through the collapse of everything they once knew. She was captured in war, stripped of her royal title, and placed into unfamiliar surroundings. Any individual in her situation would instantly become bitter but, instead, her […]
The most overlooked path to Paradise
Before we ever opened our eyes to the world, someone was already dreaming for us. Before we ever spoke a word, someone was already praying for us. Before we could walk, someone was carrying the weight of our future on their shoulders. That “someone” was our mother and father, our beloved parents. While our lives […]
The pilgrimage that healed a wounded city
There are many moments in life when you return to a place not because it’s perfect or may hold the best memories, but simply because it’s time to go back. Maybe it’s a city you’ve left in pain. Maybe it’s a friendship that fell into a rut, a memory you want to avoid reliving, or […]
Who is Jibraeel (AS)? Everything you need to know about Allah (SWT)’s most revered angel
In the stillness of the cave of Hira, as Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sat in solitude reflecting under the darkness of the night, the world as we knew it changed forever. A presence soon enveloped the cave not of a man, not of a jinn, but of a being made of light. It was not the […]
