3 Graves or Doors to Paradise? Amazing Story

“I am looking at three graves in front of me,” said the heart-broken husband.

“Rather, I see three doors to Paradise,” replied his wife with patience and faith.

Sharing an inspirational story about a family who had three kids with fatal diseae, Sister Yasmin Mogahed explains that if Allah helps us we will be able to handle even the hardest of challenges.

While trials and tribulations are exhausting, ease and hardships aren’t just about what we are given in life but are about the state of our heart.

So, what is the significance of gratitude?

What are the effects of social support for families with special need children?

Listen to this amazing video and learn how important the responsibility of the community is in these difficult situations. Many times the Muslim community inadvertently alienates and ostracizes these families instead of providing support and care.

A must-see video full of lessons for all; whether you are going through difficult times or leading a life of ease and luxury you will find something to relate with in this short speech.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible.

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él).

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
