5 Forgiveness Opportunities Prayers Give You

Image
In part one of this series, some of the opportunities offered by Allah to get rid of our sins have been highlighted. Through this series you will notice that ways of forgiveness are so many and diverse in terms of their types and times. In other words, if you are really interested in living a constantly clean life, you can do it. If you wish to have the stains of sins removed from your records promptly, the task is easy. The ways to achieve that are numerous. Before moving further to discuss more forgiveness means, one point needs to be emphasized here. Although the ways to Allah’s pardon are paved and the access to it is made easy, many of us fail to take advantage of them. That is a symptom of the ghaflah (heedlessness) ailment which turns the human into an aimless machine that only cares about the joys of the world and neglects the true, everlasting life. So, no matter how easy to get the blessing of forgiveness, without taking the matter seriously and paying heed to the impor

Short Story ⬇⬇ Before Islam, Bilal ibn Rabah was a slave to a non-Muslim rich man "Ummayah ibn Khalaf" who use to violently torture Bilal due to his refusal to denounce Islam. When Muslim rich man "Abu-Bakr"  heard about Bilal's torture, he bought him from his master and gave him his freedom, Bilal then now become one of the most trusted and loyal companions that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) appointed him as the secretary of treasure of the city "Al-Medina" and the official prayer caller. When the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam died, Bilal requested not to call the athan and Abu Bakr (R.A)  granted him his wish! He joined the armies of Islam in their conquest of Al Sham!

When he said Allahu Akbar, the people of Madinah were on their feet; can it be h

UNDERSTANDING MODESTY – A LOOK AT MUSLIM MEN

Eebraheem Ganiy In the global dialogue about Muslims, the gender that suffers most is the Muslim men who garner distrust and suspicion from non-Muslims and seemingly lack attention in the Muslim community. Negative media portrayals of Muslim men have depicted them as oppressive forces who brutalize their women and kids and fail to extend equal respect and rights to the citizens around them. At the same time, they are also least defended and protected than the women in the Muslim world. One of the most common questions raised by the non-Muslims is that ‘if a Muslim woman is mandated to wear hijab, then why is a Muslim man exempt from this obligation in Islam?’ The truth is that Muslim men are equally required to follow hijab. The term “hijab” does not refer to a headscarf, but Islamically, in the broader sense, it encompasses modesty and chastity of men and women’s garments and guarding one’s gaze. Guarding one’s gaze refers to avoiding “checking out” the opposite gender, to wal

The miracle of the night journey give the devine explanation and expression to the contents of the Holy Qur'an. It is therefore a package of all things we need to know and abide-in to attain bliss hereon and hereafter. It resolved that Allah (the exalted) cannot be over powered or be limited by His creation in the exercise of His Will beyond His 99 names over His creation. The following verses from the Qur'an are quoted as a deliberate attempt to illuminate the minds of readers to a level beyond this planet where the Glory and Power of God present to us the peace and orderliness of the unseen world of the Hereafter and the inhabitants of heavens. He says:  قل لوکان فيهماالهةإلاالله لفسدتافسبحان الله رب العرش عما يصفون " If there were, in the heavens and the earth other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! But glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him. (Al- Anbiya vs 22) ..... To be continue
