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. Read more »

All praise, thanks and glory be to Allah and Allah alone. Alhamdulillah, the Dubai International Peace Convention was an amazing event.

HOW MANY COMPANIONS DO YOU KNOW?
A respectful sister named Mona once told me that during a scholarly session with a Muslim preacher, the attendees were asked, “Do you know the names of the members of the Brazilian football national team?” To the questioner’s surprise, they managed to recall the names of all the players not escaping even one of the reserves!

Arabic cannot be a foreign language!
Dear sisters and brothers, Assalamu Alaikum.
At the outset, I thank two sisters – Sr. Aisha and Sr. Naseem Ejaz – and two brothers – Br. Muhammad Munawar and Br Mofiz Ahmad – for responding to my request through the previous post: Is Arabic a foreign language?
Sr. Aisha quotes Ayah 3 of Surah Zukhruf and says that Arabic is not a foreign language!
“We verily, have made it a Qur’an in Arabic, that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its admonitions).” (43: 3)
Br. Munawar’s answer is interesting. He says both yes and no. Read more »

Musa’s mother threw her infant son in the river. Did he die?
Yusuf’s jealous and scheming brothers threw him in a well. Was that the end of Yusuf? Read more »

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum.
As death is inevitable:
1. We all must be prepared to leave this sojourn world at any point of our life. Strong and true belief in Tawheed, Risalah and Aakhirah and good investment in the form of righteous deeds is the only thing that will save us in the Hereafter.
