Surah al Asr: The quintessence of Qur’anic teachings

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

A short and meaningful pdf presentation on Surah al Asr made by Sr. Aisha is uploaded here with her kind permission.

Shari’ah: No water, no life!

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Shariah is to Islamic life as water is to human existence. In fact, Shariah is a path that leads to a water hole. Water, the very source of life.

About Shariah, I found these two presentations by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, of Islamic Circle of North America, to be very informative and wanted to share it with you all.

Fruit journey!

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Reading, understanding and pondering over the relevant verses of the Qur’an takes one on a picturesque observational journey of the lush green nature.

Gardens, plants, vegetation, trees, soil, sky, water, air, sunshine, clouds, flower, leaves, branches, roots, fruits, seedlings, grains, crops – you mention anything about nature and environment, and you will find it in the Qur’an!

And the greatest of all mentions is the connection between the creation and the Creator. How ironic and sad indeed it is that many people in the world enjoy observing nature but forgot the Creator behind all enjoyments!

Peace is here!

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

The world has tried all religions, ‘isms’ and man-made ideologies, and had enough of failure. Today, Islam is the only way to peace, progress and prosperity. The only alternative left for mankind!

Islam is Peace!

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

All praise, thanks and glory be to Allah and Allah alone. Alhamdulillah, the Dubai International Peace Convention was an amazing event.  May Allah bless the Organisers, the Dubai Government and the Al Manar Centre, with His choicest Blessings, both in this world and in the Hereafter. Aameen. May Allah reward the speakers, the voluneers, those who did hard work for the Science Model Exhibition/Peace Exhibition, and all those who contributed, directly or indirectly, towards the success of this mega Islamic event in Dubai. Aameen.

I plan to scan some of the pages, InshaaAllah,  from the souvenir for the purpose of education and dawah. I like this one

Conference, Exhibition and Excitement!

“Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel”

Assalamu Alaikum. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

Today I would like discuss on one of the most inspiring and powerful aayaat of the glorious Qur’an: Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel. Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposar of affairs for us. What an Excellent Guardian and Protector He is!

Friday and Reciting Surah al Kahf

Assalamu Alaikum. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. This is just a reminder on the importance of reciting Surah al Kahf on a Friday.

Why don’t you learn Arabic?

Assalamu Alaikum. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

This question about learning Arabic is pertinent to me and you. Learning Arabic language is a simple way to learn the Qur’an. Some of you may say we know Arabic already. But then I hope you will agree that learning Qur’anic Arabic is a life-long process. Nevertheless, the importance of learning Arabic language cannot be brushed aside. What follows is a compilation to highlight the need to learn Arabic.

The miracle in the ‘year’!

Assalamu Alaikum. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Today, I read a very interesting post by Sr. Fajr and would like to share it here with you all. Read on….

In Surah al-‘Ankabut, Allah `azza wa jall describes the length of time that Prophet Nuh (`alayhisalam) spent with his people. But what do you notice about the verse?

The right Righteousness, Part 3

Dear sisters and brothers, Assalamu Alaikum. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

I apologise for delaying this post (Part 3) which is the continuation of the write-up on Adopting al Birr, the right Righteousness. I got interested, rather got struck in deeply understanding the further part of the ayah of our discussion, that is 2: 177. Anyway, let’s continue learning, Inshaa’Allah.

Adopting Al Birr – Part 2

Dear sisters and brothers, Assalamu Alaikum.

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. This is part 2 on ‘Adopting al Birr, the right Righteousness’. If you haven’t read Part 1, then it is advisable that you read it from here first and then proceed further.

Dear sisters and brothers, in Part 1 we were discussing on different beliefs that we must have in us if we want to adopt the right kind of righteousness in our lives.

Adopting al-Birr, the right Righteousness! (Part 1)

Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu Alaikum.

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Today I would like to throw some light – by way of tazkeer and naseeha to myself first – on the concept of righteousness in Islam.

Consider this.  You find me as the one having Qur’an blog, Seerah blog, teaching Islamic…blah, blah, posting on Qur’an and Hadeeth….but if I don’t practice what I say, can I be called a righteous Muslim?!
