Live In Deen

When we wish to increase our memory then we should remove everything that is unnecessary from our lives. We are not talking about sin because sin should be cut out anyway. We are talking about unnecessary things. For example, if you like to sit up late at night chatting, then the next day you can’t remember how many rakahs to pray in Fajr, the late night chatting should stop. When we have too much going on in our head it makes us forget. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said one of the good signs of a good Muslim is that he leaves out what doesn’t concern him. If it doesn’t concern you, cut it out. We are at an age today, where are concerned with everybody else’s life. We need to be concerned about our own life, not everyone else.

Though thousands of news reporters work in hundreds of TV networks across the US, it is still rare to see Hijab-wearing TV news reporters. Ayah Galal, a morning news reporter at WFSB, a CBS affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut, is one of four reporters who keep their hijabs. “I didn’t want to compromise my faith for my profession,” she told The National News . “Growing up, there were not people who looked like me on TV,” she says. “So I originally was worried about wearing hijab and getting hired.” Read Also: Hijab Stories – 8 Women Speak Out on Hijab Galal started out as a producer.

If I were asked to make a list of my most “life-changing experiences”, there would be many that would fit the bill: My first job, getting married, or moving from one country to another are a few examples. However, the birth of my children may very well be at the top of that list, and for good reason— pregnancy and childbirth are truly miraculous. A Male Doctor Reflects on Maternity and Childbirth Even though the entire experience is all at once joyous and terrifying, and the responsibilities a baby brings to its parents are certainly new and overwhelming; I would argue that what most qualify pregnancy and childbirth as “life changing” are the lessons we, mothers and fathers alike, can learn from them. Pregnancy is one of Allah’s signs to His creation and is mentioned in the Qur’an in numerous places. “And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are Signs for those of assured Faith” (Qur’an45:4). For nine months a wo...

La oración es una parte esencial y central de nuestra vida diaria como musulmanes. Hacemos la oración cinco veces al día. 35 veces a la semana y alrededor de 1,825 veces al año. ¿Cómo podemos sacar el máximo provecho a este precioso regalo que Allah nos ha hecho? ¿Cómo podemos sentirnos realmente conectados con Allah, el más Misericordioso? ¿Y cómo podemos ir más allá de los movimientos rutinarios, que nuestros corazones estén presentes y sentir el placer que viene con esta conexión? ¿Qué significa la dulzura de la oración?

In the previous article we discussed the fact that embracing Islam allowed the new Muslim to begin again with a clean slate. It’s a new start; a chance to build a life centred on worshiping God. This is an exciting time filled with endless opportunities but the best piece of advice I can give you is to take it slowly. In those first hours, days and weeks it will be very tempting to shout your new-found happiness from the rooftops. Before you do this, try to think about what you are doing and who you are talking to. It is important to recognize that every person you tell will have a reaction. And those reactions will not always be what you expect them to be. It might be that the people you fear telling will hug you and that those you had thought had your back will react with horror. Keep in mind that every person is on their own journey and that not everyone is as fortuitous as you are. Being guided to Islam is a gift, a bounty, and some people have not yet recognized their bounti...

How do you have strong belief in Allah? Have you ever been out in nature and found something so beautiful that you know this has been created by Allah? When you see something so beautiful in nature and you are a believer, doesn’t that make you believe in Allah even more? Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us in an authentic hadith to think about the blessings of Allah and the creation of Allah. We shouldn’t think too much of the existence of Allah as that will bewilder us. When we think about the creation of Allah this will ultimately strengthen our faith.

Islam is all about moderation. For everything that is permissible, there is a reason. And with everything that is not-permissible, there is always a reason and it is always in our best interest. Raising children as Muslims requires determination and zeal, but also a lot of love, leniency (in certain matters), and gentility. Overall it requires self-regulation because children are a reflection of their parents. On one hand, every Muslim parent wants to raise good Muslim sons and daughters, and within the same calling, each parent must do so in light of Islam, no in spite of the religion. Here are a few tips on how to pave the parenting route, the Muslim way. Teach them about Allah Teaching children about Allah is the first responsibility as parents. As parents, we are granted children by Allah’s grace only, and children are not ours to “own,” but are very much on loan until it is their time to return to Allah, just like every single human being will eventually leave this world. ...
