Two Muslim junior barristers have launched hijab for court after spotting a gap in the market. The idea came after regulatory and crime lawyer Karlia Lykourgou and criminal advocate Maryam Mir could not find hijabs at any of the usual court outfitters. “It came about after I spoke to Maryam, who I have known since university, who said she finds it hard to get a hijab that is right for court,” Lykourgou told Sky News . “I thought this was crazy, so we decided to design one that would be comfortable for a hijab-wearing barrister but also fit well with the rest of the outfit.” The new hijab is made of bamboo silk to keep barristers warm during the winter and cold during the summer.

Departing from his predecessor’s policies, US President Joe Biden has nominated several people of color to different posts. Adding to that, he just nominated on Tuesday (March 30) an Asian American and the first Muslim ever to federal judgeships in a push for diversity in the US court system. If approved, Judge Zahid N. Quraishi would be a federal judge on the US District Court for the District of New Jersey, and the first-ever lifetime-appointed Muslim federal judge. “This trailblazing slate of nominees draws from the very best and brightest minds of the American legal profession,” the White House said in a statement Tuesday about a list that also included 10 other nominees, Fox News reported. “Each is deeply qualified and prepared to deliver justice faithfully under our Constitution and impartially to the American people — and together they represent the broad diversity of background, experience, and perspective that makes our nation strong.” Read Also: What Muslims Demand fro...

Those moments of intimacy and sexuality with your spouse, those special moments when no matter how much noise might be outside of the window, you are only aware of each other. That deep connection which is connected to your trust, vulnerability, emotions and your faith.  Sex , when done in an ethical and halal manner, can not only be connected to your spirituality, it can also be a spiritual boost. For far too long, people have associated religion and spirituality with caged sexuality and something shameful. Questions on Sex and Intimacy Problems Got Answered As if religious followers are not allowed to enjoy intimacy  and they are limited only to missionary with the lights off. Sexuality does not diminish one’s modesty nor is it inappropriate for a woman to be highly sexual. One can still maintain modesty while being completely the opposite in the bedroom. Some take the stance sex is meant for creating children and nothing more, but I do not know of any ...

Dans son célèbre livre «Al-Hikam» (Les Aphorismes), Cheikh Ahmad Ibn `Ataâ’illâh As-Sakandarî, alias Ibn Attâ’, a dit: «Son meilleur bienfait est de vous donner juste ce qui suffit, et de vous priver de ce qui peut vous conduire à mal agir. En ayant moins de choses qui rendent heureux, vous avez moins de choses qui peuvent vous attrister.» Quand Le Peu Vaut Mieux Que L’abondant Cette étape de notre chemin vers Allah est liée à la question de la providence et de sa conception correcte. Le Hadith prophétique qui dit: «Le peu qui suffit vaut mieux que l’abondant qui distrait» , a été expliqué par Ibn Attâ’ dans ses propos bien sages. Le Cheikh Ibn Attâ’ a dit: «Son meilleur bienfait est de vous donner juste ce qui suffit, et de vous priver de ce qui peut vous conduire à mal agir.» Allah Donne Et Prive Suivant Sa Sagesse Allah , Exalté soit-Il, peut donner à un Serviteur juste ce qui lui suffit, ni plus ni moins. Quand cela arrive, c’est le meilleur bienfait d’Allah. Si Allah ...

Este mundo es rudo. Crecemos rodeados de ciencias falsas y falsas ciencias, de creencias absurdas y otras no tanto. Prácticamente vivimos inmersos en un mar de ideologías y religiones donde todos aseguran lo que yo sigo es verdad. Ideología o religión, no son incompatible. Y seamos sinceros ¿quién de vosotros realmente se pregunta si lo que seguís o lo que hacéis se basa es la verdad?  Mi abuelo me dijo una vez: mientras estés vivo o sigues una religión o sigues una ideología. Esto es porque la religión es el conjunto de preceptos que un hombre sigue para adorar a una deidad. No puedes seguir una ideología y una religión al mismo tiempo; o es la una o es la otra. La lógica de la ideología o religión Cómo vivir una buena vida: 6 enseñanzas del Corán Juguemos con la lógica como cuando era pequeño. O sigues una ideología o sigues a Dios pero si sigues una religión entonces sigues a Dios. Y es muy importante decir que los que niegan a Dios ni siquiera pueden refutar ...

Today we’re going to spend a few moments talking about how we can empty our hearts of love for this world for Allah’s sake, so we can think of Allah. The Most Loving – How God Shows Us Great Love And look what we’ve done for the setting. In a beautiful setting like this, we’re on the Nile in Cairo in Egypt: palm trees, beautiful water, sunshine… Who would not think of Allah Almighty with such beauty around? So that’s our setting. You know, life is very busy and it’s very easy to get trapped in all the business of this life. We want to be good Muslims, but we find ourselves pushed about, and all the “hustle and bustle” takes us away from Allah. And often we find ourselves, from one day to the next, we’re not really thinking about Allah at all, even in our prayers.

And so, as Muslim...

It is important for parents to develop a sense of adaptability and flexibility when raising our children. It might have to be different to how we were raised. As parents we rely on the blueprint of our parents to inform our own parenting style. This is not a bad thing but we do need to be careful also when doing this. Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) said: “do not raise your children just as your parents raised you, for they were created for a generation different than yours.” Our parents raised us a certain way but we were children in a different era and a different time. So if we take that exact blueprint of our parent’s way then we are likely to fail. There are aspects of parenting that need to be consistent. Consistent with values and approach to discipline etc… There are also aspects of parenting that require us to be adaptable. We can see this in our time more than any other time before. With the internet we know our children are going to be exposed to information that we were never ex...

Here is a beautiful reminder for all of us. Remember Allah is in charge of everything so try and stop worrying! Allah (swt) says that He knows everything. He (swt) knows what time we will be born and what time we will die. Allah (swt) will provide for us but the problem is that we become dependent. He has given us all these things as a test, will we still be humble even though we have so many luxuries of this world? If you rely on Allah (swt) and understand that He created you, He (swt) will definitely provide for you. Allah (swt) remembers to give provision to the smallest ant, how can he forget to give it to us?

En este mundo puede haber reyes, príncipes y presidentes, pero en el próximo, no habrá ninguno. En el Paraíso el lugar de cada uno depende de sus acciones y piedad.  Todos llegamos a la tumba igual Una tarde, pasé por una mezquita en un taxi y había muchos coches. De hecho, la cantidad de automóviles era tan numerosa que bloqueaba el tráfico. Estaban allí para un funeral. El taxista me dijo que debía ser el funeral de alguien importante. Le respondí: “¡Ya no es importante!”. La muerte es un gran igualador.  No importa lo que hayamos sido, o lo que hayamos tenido en esta vida, a la tumba vamos iguales. No nos llevamos honores ni riquezas. El mejor de vosotros ante Allah Hay un pasaje muy hermoso en el noble Corán, que los musulmanes creen que es la palabra de Dios: ¡Hombres! Os hemos creado a partir de un varón y de una hembra y os hemos hecho pueblos y tribus distintos para que os reconocierais unos a otros. Y en verdad que el más noble de vosotros ante Allah es el q...

En plus des cinq prières quotidiennes obligatoires pour le musulman, il existe d’autres types de prières que l’on peut effectuer. Ce sont les prières surérogatoires qu’on appelle aussi «nawâfil» ou «rawâtib». Comment les prier? A quel moment? Quels sont leurs bienfaits et leurs récompenses? Ya-t-il des types de prières surérogatoires? Peut-on les prier lors des moments interdits ou non? Doit-on choisir un type de prières surérogatoires et s’en acquitter constamment? Est-ce que si on avait l’habitude de pratiquer une des prières surérogatoire et qu’on la délaisse, devient-elle une dette? Autant de questions que Prof. Ismaïl Mounir nous propose d’aborder dans cette vidéo. Raison Des Prières Surérogatoires Allah a-t-Il légiféré ces prières surérogatoires pour  surcharger le croyant? Absolument pas. Comme on le sait, d’après le Prophète Mohammad (Sallah Alaihi Wa Sallam), la première chose sur laquelle on sera interrogé au Jour du Jugement Dernier, ce sont nos prières obligat...
