With every difficulty there is relief

Lifestyle, SpiritualityBy Yannina CasillasFebruary 28, 20101 Comment

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.

The Importance of Time

Lifestyle, SpiritualityBy AT ReaderFebruary 28, 2010Leave a comment

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.

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.

“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…

Analysis of Piety

Lifestyle, SpiritualityBy Abdullah Al-JammalFebruary 19, 2010Leave a comment

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…
