Salam aleykum,
May I ask you to please make a little du’âa for my grand-father? He is weak, and he is afraid to die. I would be very grateful if you kept him in your du’âa, in sha Allah.
Barak Allahu fikum!

Salaah and Life
the72sects:
I’ve often thought of the difference between salaah and life as being similar to our experiences in the school assembly. When we were in school standing in the assembly area waiting for the principal to address us, I used to take comfort in the fact that I was among a crowd and therefore not the centre of attention. I didn’t really worry about the principal seeing my shirt hanging...

Advice to Converts to Islam and those new to...
The Bedouin say, “We have attained to faith.” Say [unto them, O Muhammad]: “You have not [yet] attained to faith; you should [rather] say, ‘We have [outwardly] surrendered’ – for [true] faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you [truly] pay heed unto God and His Apostle, He will not let the least of your deeds go to waste: for, behold, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.”...

Anonymous asked: The explanation of ayah 35 of Surat An-Noor is that it is a mutashabihaat verse. If it was taken literally/apparently, i.e. the most commonly used meaning, then they would say: Allah is a light which exists in the skies and on earth. Of course this does not befit Allah, because it likens Allah to one of His creations. Allah told us in the Qur`an that He is the One who created the light in Surat...

Anonymous asked: God is not light, God is the Creator of Light and Darkness.

Please do not misguide individuals who are already swimming in misguidance. You shall be held to account for that on the Day of Judgement. Bear...
