In the Qur’an (94:5-6), Allah says: “Surely, with every difficulty there is relief. Surely, with every difficulty there is relief.” The Qur’an contains many beneficial reminders that we can use in our everyday lives. This particular ayah (verse) has benefited me in many ways. Because Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) repeats Himself, this is a powerful reminder of the relief that will come once these difficulties or tests come to pass. It’s easy at times to lose hope, but Allah (swt) [...]

I came to recall an important truth that all of us are already aware of, at least subconsciously, but most of us fail to incorporate into our daily life. I was re-reading Surah Al-Asr with careful attention to the translation, which is as follows: “By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.” (Qur’an, 103:1-3) Allah (subhan wata’alah ) establishes the default position [...]

Da’wah, which in Arabic means an invitation to Islam, is one of those words that many members of the Muslim community turn a blind eye towards. Many people acknowledge its importance but at the same time fear it because they wrongly presume it takes lots of knowledge. The reality is far from the fact. Anyone who knows Surat Al-Ikhlas (The Purity), or even just knows what Tawheed is (the Oneness of Allah) can give Da’wah. Many people new to Da’wah [...]

I want to spread awareness about a terrible incident at UC San Diego. My cousin, Mustafa Shahryar, who goes to school there called me to tell me that as he was leaving the library, he heard a grown African-American man crying on the phone asking “how can I study if they want to kill me?” My cousin asked him what was wrong and the guy took him to the 7th floor of the main library and hanging from the ceiling [...]

Chancellor Gene Block of UCLA addressed students in person at an impromptu sit-in regarding the recent events at UC San Diego that were triggered by a racist-themed party called “Compton Cookout”. The sit-in at UCLA occurred in front of the Chancellor’s office in Murphy Hall on Friday afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. “So for those of you that I don’t know, I am Gene Block. I am the Chancellor at UCLA, the new chancellor, and I am here to talk [...]

“Love for the sake of Allah” Although we’ve heard the phrase many times have we ever stopped to think what it truly means? Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Rising, ‘Where are those who loved one another for the sake of My majesty? Today, on the day when there is no shade but My shade, I will shade them.’” [Muslim] The [...]

Analysis of Piety (from ahmad fareed Hafidhullaah) From the morals and manners of the righteous was that they would strictly analyze their taqwa (piety) never claiming to be a possessor of such. Allah the Most High has said, “Therefore do not declare yourselves as being purified. He knows best who has taqwa.” [53:32] The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him), said, “Taqwa is here,” and he pointed to his chest. [Muslim [...]

Over the past weekend I was fortunate enough to participate in an event that was both inspirational and educational. The event I am referring to was MSA West, hosted at the University of California Davis. After getting through the near 7 even hour drive there my expectations were high. Because after traveling in a car for about 7 hours my thoughts going in were “this better be worth it”. My expectations were not only met, but exceeded throughout they entire [...]
