Allah looks for any excuse to show His mercy did you know that? Allah tells us when we seek forgiveness, He will forgive us. If we didn’t seek forgiveness for minor sins, but we are doing good deeds consistently, these good deeds will wipe out the minor sins. What about the major sins? We can’t just seek normal forgiveness, we have some steps to follow for a specific repentance for a major sin. Once we have fulfilled those conditions of the repentance for the major sin, then we are forgiven. Allah tells us to seek repentance constantly. This is not because we doubt the mercy of Allah but it is because seeking forgiveness constantly brings us closer to Allah.

A common question that is both basic yet extremely profound, posed by many critics of the Islamic tradition, is whether or not the Quran is a relevant book. Does the Quran promote concepts that provide answers for humans to live healthy and beneficial lives – for both themselves and the world around them? Take a look at how Dr. Joseph Lumbard tackles this issue in the following video: Relevancy of the Quran to Modern Questions The Quran , beyond the shadow of a doubt, remains relevant to the questions we have today. One of the things that one can find, for example, is that there is a deep doctrine regarding the natural environment within the Quran . It is so much so that one author, Reza Shah Qasimi, has said that if in fact the vision of tawheed that you had in the Quran were maintained, you wouldn’t have the environmental crisis. The morals of the Quran are applicable under different circumstances at any time. Quran and modern nutrition Just take, for example, the vers...

The Islamic Center of St. Joseph is celebrating a decade in Northwest Missouri, leaping forward positively from a basement to an expanding space, enabling it to serve the community and build bridges. “It’s amazing how something could start, just a small idea. It turns out to be really good thing. You don’t see it that way when you start it,” Imam Amro Nabil said, News Press Now reported. Over the past years, the Islamic center has continued to host Muslim daily and weekly prayer. Read Also: American Muslim Group Brings People Together with Art “We started with a few people. And now … people know about it and they come in and they have proper spot, a proper place to pray,” Sharif Nazar said. Serving Muslims is not the only role of the mosque, with its leaders opening doors to other faiths, expanding relationships with other faith communities. “That’s what we work hard for us to do: Establish a base for Muslims to come and worship God and work with our other communities, such as ...

A few months ago, I had a very busy schedule, working on a big project with a colleague of mine and coming home to resume the tedious job of nurturing my household. I was always striving to realize a new goal and meeting the excessive expectations I had of myself at the expense of being the well-rounded woman I was supposed to be. Aromatherapy: Enjoy the Gifts of Nature In the process, I neglected myself. Days rolled in and out and in no time, I began to feel inadequate, looking at my reflection in the mirror and disliking what I saw. I resented everything around me and my discomfort continued to grow. Then finally, I paused. It took me quite some time to figure out what was wrong and in the end, I realized that I wasn’t taking care of myself . This and not the things around me was what needed to be fixed. Self-care is a fundamental aspect of being a Muslim This is not just to boost productivity and a positive life but is also a way of showing gratitude to Allah (SWT) ...

الكل منا يناله نصيبه من البأساء والضراء، وأوقات الشدة تمر بالأفراد والمجتمعات، فهل تفكرنا في ما ينبغي علينا تجاهها؟ يقول الله عز وجل في كتابه الكريم:{ وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ } (الأنعام 42). تلك إذن حكمة بالغة يغفل عنها الكثير وقل من يقف مع نفسه محاسبا لها، ويحيا يقظا لأنعم الله، شاكرا له عليها، وصابرا على البلاء والشدائد مستأنسا بتضرعه إلى الله. لهذا صرنا غثاءا كغثاء السيل كما قال رسول الله ﷺ في الحديث الشريف: ‏”‏ يُوشِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ ‏”‏ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزِعَنَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهَنَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَهَنُ قَالَ ‏”‏ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ ‏”‏ ( صححه الألباني...

Prophet Muhammad is the best role model for every aspect of life. He represented Islam in the best way and established the religion in the soundest foundations. He practiced what he preached in his personality and immediate family first. When he invited people to live spiritual life he presented it best through his actions. Prophet Muhammad’s most noteworthy legacy is his leadership in transforming a society otherwise immersed in centuries of feudal conflicts and disarray. Limited by time and means, he eradicated all kinds of barbarism and savagery in the Arabian Peninsula and then embedded praiseworthy virtues in their hearts. He appeared in a time when some people lived in monasteries while others drowned in luxury. He invited people to the balanced life with the Quranic instruction: {Seek through that which God has given you the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as God has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land...

History has been made with a Scot Muslim being elected to lead Scottish Labour party on Saturday, February 27. He won the snap election triggered by the surprise resignation of Richard Leonard six weeks ago. Sarwar, a former deputy leader of Scottish Labour backed by a majority of the party’s parliamentarians, defeated the other candidate Monica Lennon, a less experienced MSP backed on the party’s left, winning 57.6% of the vote, The Guardian reported.

Because if we’re brutally honest, you haven’t had the Scottish Labour party you deserve.” He added: “Today we have elected the first ever ethnic minority leader of a political par...

El Sagrado Corán es la última revelación de Dios a la humanidad. Es la última de una larga seria de mensajes, revelaciones, que Dios ha mandado a todas las comunidades. El Corán fue revelado al Profeta Muhammad a lo largo de 23 años. Un estudio detallado de las correlaciones, temáticas, lenguaje, etc. nos muestra muchos de los milagros del Corán que no pueden ser meras coincidencias o fruto del azar y son testamento a su veracidad. Balanza y equidad Un milagro numérico en el Corán y su significado Entre las muchas correlaciones numéricas que encontramos en el Corán está la coincidencia en el número de apariciones de las palabras relacionadas con la equidad, “qist” y sus derivados, y las relacionadas con la balanza, “wazn” y sus derivados. Vamos a seguir el consejo del propio Corán y verificar la información. ¿Es cierto que los derivados de la palabra equidad y balanza aparecen igual número de veces en el Corán?

Dans cette vidéo, Pr. Franck Amine Hensch nous parle de l’amour envers le Prophète Mohammad (Sallah Allah Alaihi Wa Sallam) ainsi que la façon d’y parvenir. En fait, le Prophète Mohammad ne fut envoyé qu’en miséricorde pour l’univers (Coran 21 : 107) Alors comment s’est traduite cette miséricorde? Comment ce Messager a réussi à réformer les cœurs ainsi qu’à réformer les consciences? Bref, comment a-t-il réussi cette mission? La Fonction Principale Du Prophète Tout d’abord, le Prophète Mohammad nous rappelle l’une de ses fonctions principales, en disant: «Je suis pour vous à l’image de père qui vous enseigne et qui vous éduque.» Mais, pourquoi la figure du père ici? Car, le père évidemment est cette personne qui a cet amour inconditionnel et profond pour ses enfants. C’est lui qui est prêt à tout sacrifier pour eux. Le seul qui s’inquiète le plus pour eux et qui leur donne sans compter. Telle était finalement la relation qu’avait le Prophète Mohammad avec ses compagnons. I...

Is it a small thing that you go out of your home shaking both your hands, walking with steady steps, filling up your chest with early morning breath, and enjoying the sunshine in your eyes? Seeking Nearness to Allah - First Steps to the Spiritual Journey If you are heedless to the healthiness of your body, the integrity of your organs, and the perfection of your faculties… wake up quickly. Our Priceless Blessings In this life, your capital is not the gold and silver you have. Your true capital, your real wealth, is the faculties that God has given you, such as intellect, ability, freedom, and the highest of these gifts – good health. “Would you sell both your eyes for a billion dollars?” Dale Carnegie wondered: “What would you take for your two legs and your hands?

We all have our days where we feel down or disappointed. An argument with a loved one or a bad score on a test can cause these. Normal moments of sadness will pass and we recover within a reasonable amount of time. Depression will last much longer than sadness and it goes deeper. Depression will impact your behaviors, appetite, thought patterns and more. It causes you to have a distorted and negative perception of the world around you. People suffering from depression often feel tired, physically as well as emotionally. This takes them away from people and they often isolate themselves, which only makes it feel worse and allows them to wallow in their pain. Depression can lead to self-harm and in the worst situations,  suicide. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that. [ Al-Bukhari ] Depression...

We all have had a bad dream. Did you know we shouldn’t tell anyone about this dream! There are certain things we should do after a bad dream. The Prophet (PBUH) told us to seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan three times. Then dry spit to the left three times and never tell anyone about it! Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) justified this by saying that because it is from Shaytan and it would not harm it. Scholars have said if you tell others about bad dreams then there is a possibility that it will turn into a reality as a punishment. Dreams can be one of three. It can be a glad tiding from Allah. It can be dreams that are a representation of your subconscious. The last one is dreams from Shaytan. These are meant to depress you. The best thing to do is to move on and don’t pay any attention to it. The post Had a Bad Dream?

How can we create and maintain effective mosques? Muslims are the youngest religious demographic in the US. Yet, similar to other respective religious organizations, mosques today are not able to capture the fascination of the younger generation. Imam Mohamed Abutaleb addressed this issue during the 15 th   MAS-ICNA Convention . In this lecture, He maintains that the solution lies in reconsidering the priorities of Muslims’ mosques and institutions. Four priorities, in particular, should be on the top of the Muslim community’s agenda to have effective institutions. How to attract and prepare the best and brightest of our youth to serve as Imams and religious leaders? What is the importance of empowering the Muslim community with appropriate governance system? How to accommodate the ever-complaining and critical community members? Why should institutions care for succession plans? And how all these questions contribute to the development of effective mos...

With the dawn of Islam on the Bedouin, nomadic tribes of the Arabian Peninsula came enlightenment, not only strictly spiritual in nature, but also with cultural, educational and scientific connotations. Among the fruits of this enlightenment was the eventual establishment of huge health facilities that, among other things, played an important educational role amongst physicians of the age. The first bimaristan , as these establishments were called, was built in Damascus in 86 Hijri (707 A.D.) by Caliph Al-Waleed ibn `Abdul-Malik.

The word bimaristan is of Persian origin and means hospital, with bimar meaning disease and stan meaning location or place...

La purificación espiritual es una de las bases del Islam y una de las tareas principales con la que fueron enviados los profetas y que nos han transmitido los eruditos. La fe es un sentimiento vivo La fe es un sentimiento vivo en el corazón que se manifiesta a través de las palabras y de las acciones.  La razón por la que a veces puede parecer que la fuerza de nuestra creencia dista de ser ideal es porque la fe es algo vivo, que hay que alimentar y mantener vivo. Y hay que hacer un esfuerzo consciente para ello. La ciencia de la purificación espiritual en el Islam trata sobre cómo hacer este esfuerzo.    La purificación espiritual Una guía para principiantes sobre meditación islámica La purificación espiritual, que a menudo encontramos ausente, debería ser una de las tareas principales para todos los musulmanes y sobre la que se fundamenta todo lo demás.  Una de las misiones más importante de los Profetas, la paz sea con ellos, es trasmitir...
