Verily in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. (Al-Ahzab v.21)

In this month of Rabi al-Awwal, let us remember what the life of the Messenger of Allah (saw) was about. The sacrifices he (saw) made for this Ummah and the lessons he (saw) left behind for us so that we can be successful in this life and more importantly, be successful in the Hereafter.

Muhammad (saw) The Man, The Message & The Mission

Indeed, We have given you a clear conquest (Quran 48:1)

In the month of Dhul Qaidah 6 Hijri, the Prophet (saw) concluded the treaty of Hudaybiyah with the Quraysh. There has been much debate and discussion regarding the implications of the treaty and the lessons we can take from it. So what was the purpose of the treaty, how should it be understood and how was it a victory for the Prophet (saw) and the Muslims?

Treaty of Hudaybiyah: The Treaty of Conquest

Call people to the Hajj. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path. [Al-Hajj v.27]

The story of Ibrahim (AS) leaving his family in Makkah and his building of the Ka'bah has many lessons for the Muslim Ummah. With the coming of the Hajj, it is a good time to remind ourselves of these lessons.

Hajj A Journey of Sacrifice & Hope

A believer is not bitten from the same hole twice (Bukhari/ Muslim)

It is understood that it is important to be aware and not to repeat the same mistakes again and again. It is necessary and very important for Muslims to learn from the past in order not to fall into similar errors, otherwise Muslim will always be bitten from the Lizard's hole. Within a changing world, what lessons do Muslims learn from the ever changing world?

The False Hopes of the Lizard's Hole

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. [Qur’an 17:1]

In this month of Rajab, the Prophet (saw) was taken to Al-Quds and Jannah where Allah (swt) showed him (saw) the delights of Paradise and the torments of Hell. This miraculous event happened at a time of severe trial for the Prophet (saw) and its initial announcement to the Quraysh seemed like a victory for them.

Today Muslims are living through trying times and it seems the detractors of Islam have the upper hand, so what can we learn from al-Isra wal-Mir'raj and the events surrounding it to aid us to traverse these trials and emerge victorious like the Prophet (saw).

Al Isra Wal Miraj: The Journey of Solace

Whoever turns away from my Reminder will certainly have a miserable life (Ta-Ha v124)

The Muslim Ummah is in a dire situation. We are plagued with major problems and many have sought to bring change and improve the condition of the Muslims. But what is the change we are seeking and how do we measure its success?

How To Measure Success-Leaving Lasting Change

This is a three part series on 'Men of Change'.

Among the believers are MEN who are true to what they pledged to Allah (Quran 33:23)

Nur ad-Deen Zengi (ra)-The Liberator of Al-Quds

Sayf ad-Deen Qutuz (ra)-The Ray of Hope in Darkness

Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam (Quran 3:19)

We live in a time of material wealth and pursuing one's desire. The worldly life can distract us from the mission that Allah (swt) and the Messenger (saw) set for us. How can we reorient our lives to work for Islam and attain the true life of Jannah?

Islam The Religion of Truth

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Isa, the son of Maryam. The Prophets are brothers; their mothers are different, but their deen is one.' (Bukhari)

The message of Isa (AS) was a continuation of the message of all the Prophets, sealing it with the final Prophet, Muhammad (ﷺ). Join us in exploring the legacy of Isa (AS) during this month, to take lessons on how to continue carrying the message in these times of crisis.
