Spine Friendly Cardio & Core Exercise – with Your Pillow! (video)

This month, I have some especially fun exercise for you. You will need only one piece of equipment – your pillow!

This is why I love functional training so much; it trains your muscles to work together, prepares them for daily tasks, and its exercises can be so creative and fun. You can use equipment such as TRX, kettlebell, rope, bands, fitballs, your body weight, or basically anything your creativity tells you to try out! I sometimes have my clients train with eggs.

So grab your pillow. I have prepared for you 3 exercises of cardio and 4 exercises of core strengthening. You will find it so much fun, inshallah!

My first and foremost principal as a personal and group fitness trainer is prevention and safety. This is why all the exercises you find in the video are safe, inshallah. If you are not sure whether you can do these exercises, or whether you do them in the correct way, please email me any time! 

Warm up well before and stretch at the end. 

For the cardio exercises, if you do not wish to jump (because you are overweight, your fitness level is still not there, or any other reason), just step and tap. 

Jumping is great, it is part of our natural movements as a human, but no joke for modern people who live their life sitting for the most part. If you have neglected your core muscles, then your joints and your back are in danger if you just start jogging, and jumping around. 

This is why I help you train your core in the second part. You core includes everything around your pelvis: your abs, lower back, glutes, and even your tight muscles. No crunches, no sit ups (ever, please!) I want to save you from a hernia and injury. 

Here are some much better moves that strengthen and train your core muscles. 

Enjoy your training and let us know how you liked it!

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...
