10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

March 13, 2013

Giving preference to what He likes over what you like, at the times in which the whims overcome you, and seeking what He likes even if it is difficult. Ibn Al-Qayim (may Allah mercy him) says: “Giving preference to the satisfaction of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, over the satisfaction of anyone else means to want and to do whatever brings His satisfaction even if it dissatisfied the creatures. This is the rank of Ithar, and its superior status is for the messengers of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them), and the superior of this status is for the Messengers of strong will, and the superior among those is our Prophet, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). And all of that could not be attained without three things:

1- Defeating the whims of the self.
2- Doing the contrary to the whims of the self.
3- Fighting Satan and his supporters. … More 10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID

November 11, 2012

Being a woman in this day and age is difficult, and being a Muslim Woman carries even more weight. The Muslim woman just like the Muslim man is expected to act in accordance to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

However, saying that, for those that live in the west the line becomes blurry, we get outdated fatawa from scholars who have never visited a cinema or seen a place like Movie World, and with all due respect we take fatawa on thousands of issues from the Ulama, but when it comes to specific fiqh of that which is cutomary to people in the west and that which in common only in the west, we need to look for people who understand that way of life.

I hope to cover a large portion of hat I deem appropriate and relevant to every Muslimah in the west, in sha Allah. … More CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID

ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

August 6, 2012

One of the most common things that Muslims are faced with daily, IS ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA. And unlike the Jews who label anything resembling critique of Israel or the Jewish fate as ANTI SEMMITISM, the poor old Muslims just take it on the chin and plot along.

Allah Subhanaahu Wa Ta’ala has informed us that there will always be people who intend to misrepresent Islam and make it appear evil. Our modern term for this is “Islamophobia,” which means spreading fear and hatred of Islam. Most people who are against Islam have simply been given misinformation and we should help to provide them with an accurate view of Islam, while others deliberately slander the religion even after they know the truth. … More ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA

Allah Ta’ala has a whole chapter in the Qur’an named after Mary The Mother of Jesus, Isa (Jesus Name in the Qur’an) is so beloved to us that we memorize verses that speak about his virtues and his birth, life and return to HIS LORD, ALLAH.

The most often debated topic between Christiand and Muslims is the Crucifiction (or CRUCIFIXION), of Jesus peace be upon him.

SO WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS SAY? OBJECTIVITY ON THE CRUCIFICTION … More JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED – OR NOT – WHAT DO THE SCHOLARS OF HISTORY SAY? – WHAT DOES ALLAH SAY?
