Feeling Joy for the Birth of the Prophet Muhammad

This month that we just started is the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal, and this month has very distinct quality to it in that this is the month in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born.

Every year, we come to hear of the conversation about whether or not to celebrate the day the Prophet was born…

Prophet Muhammad is one of the greatest blessings we’ve ever received. We know that Allah tells us in the Quran:

Say, “In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy – in that let them rejoice. (10:58)

Be Joyous

Be joyous in the fact that you have been given the Quran; be joyous that you have been given Islam; be joyous of being having Prophet Muhammad.

The Prophet is, by Allah’s description, the best of creation. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the master of this life and the master of the next life. Allah says in the Quran that:

Verily Allah and His angels send prayers on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

So anything in the life of the believer that can engender just joy regarding the Prophet Muhammad, then just be joyous about it.

Of course the fact that Prophet Muhammad was born in this month is a joyous thing. And throughout the year, we should always be searching for things that grow us in love for the Prophet Muhammad and make us more joyous about the Prophet (peace be upon him)

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. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

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). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

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...
