As narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about faith, “ Iman  (faith) is some seventy (or some sixty) branches, the highest of which is (to testify that) there is no god but Allah, and the lowest is removing  (any source of) harm from the road. And modesty is a branch of Iman .” (Muslim) Although concise, this statement states a few important concepts Muslims should know. Firstly, Iman is not just something that resides in our hearts. It is not simply faith or belief that one must embrace. It includes many things in addition to faith or belief, and it has many branches and elements encompassing faith, action, and character. Furthermore, branches of Iman are not of the same level. They have different priorities and different importance. Therefore, several companions of the Prophet asked him this question: “Which of the deeds Allah loves more?” Ibn Ataa' on Keeping Priorities Straight The Pro...

The new year marks the hijra of the first Muslim community. That first community struggled and strove to keep the flame of faith alive so that Islam could be passed on to us today. This time of year is a great time to pause and reflect on the past and those who struggled to make hijra. Much of what we read about the hijra is of the male companions. These valiant men earned their place in history and in our hearts. But there were many brave and righteous female companions who faced unimaginable obstacles to make it from Mecca to Medina to keep the faith alive. The Prophet & the Spider –The Story of Hijrah Asma’ Bint Abu Bakr (RA) Asma’, the daughter of Abu Bakr , was among the companions whose journey to Medina was fraught with danger. Leaving Mecca, she faced great opposition. During this time, she became known as Zât an-Nitâqayn (the one with to waistbands) after she ripped her waistband to help her carry food and supplies to the Prophet (PUH) and her father (RA) ...

{Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]}. ( Surat Ar-Rum 30:41 ). The international scientific community agrees that Planet Earth has a continuously- changing climate and that our globe has passed by several and different climatic ages throughout its 4.54 billion years. The major scientific institutions in the world also have a firm belief in the existence of evidenced indicators which prove there is a current climate change taking place on Planet Earth.

How many times have you jumped into the unknown, switching to a new school, workplace, career, or even country? 5 Timeless Lessons From the Hijrah of the Prophet (PBUH) How did you feel during the moment when you completely took the plunge? Anxious, nervous, terrified, and unsure of yourself, finding your way through a major change in life is a serious undertaking. Now imagine that you are not changing by choice, but by force. Almost everyone that you are leaving behind despises you and never wants to see you again. They have taken almost everything that you own and have physically threatened the lives of you and your friends and family. Where you are going is just as uncertain ; an unfamiliar locale that could hold just as many problems as where you came from. This is just a taste of what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) went through on his journey from Makkah to Madinah , or what we call the Hijrah. As we are currently in the season of the new Islamic year , w...

We all have our doubts. It is as normal as breathing. Many wonder if their faith is baseless, if they would not be another faith if they had been born into a different family, if they might have been from a different country would they have a different belief system. Islam does not reject these questions and in fact encourages discovery and reason when approaching faith. So it is not a negative thing to question. God consciousness can only be built on a firm foundation of knowledge. Allah tells us in the Quran that: … it is only those who have knowledge among His servants that fear Allah . ( 35:28 ) Here are seven ways to know that Islam is the complete and perfect truth for all mankind. 1- Islam is the Same Message of All Prophet s From the first human being and Prophet Adam , (peace be upon him), to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), the message to mankind has not changed. Worship God, the only true God, and follow His prophets’ examples. Every Prophet was sen...

A veces olvidamos que todos los Sahabah, los compañeros del Profeta, la paz sea con él, eran nuevos musulmanes. Muchos de ellos se encontraban entre los Muhayirin, los que emigraron con el Profeta de La Meca a Medina, y los Ansar, los que dieron la bienvenida y ayudaron al Profeta y sus compañeros en Medina. Hoy en día no tenemos la oportunidad de seguir al Profeta y hacer la Hégira o estar entre aquellos que lo ayudaron. Sin embargo, todavía hay muchas formas en las que podemos encarnar el espíritu de los Muhayirin y los Ansar. Todos los musulmanes nuevos son muhayirien; de acuerdo con el Hadiz que dice que aquellos que van de la incredulidad a la creencia en Allah o de las acciones incorrectas a lo que agrada a Allah están haciendo una hijrah ( Musnad Ahmad ). Dado que esto es así, entonces aquellos que dan la bienvenida a nuevos musulmanes en la comunidad y los ayudan pueden ser considerados Ansar. Esta es una forma de personificar el espíritu de la Hégira. A la edad de catorce...

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.» Le Prophète Mohammad – Notre Guide Spirituel 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 relat...

The Islamic calendar or Hijri calendar (AH) is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 days. It is used to date events in many Muslim countries (concurrently with the Gregorian calendar). Muslims use the calendar to determine days of observing the annual fasting of Ramadan, attending Hajj, as well as marking other Islamic holidays and occasions. The first year of this calendar was the Islamic year beginning in AD 622 during which the emigration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, occurred. The following infograph sheds light on the months of Islamic calendar, highlighting the significant religious occasions of each month.

This video is about growing and transitioning into your new life as a practicing Muslim. This might be the most exciting time in your life. You finally know for sure that there is a Creator and that you’ve been created for a purpose. You now know that He wants you to be successful and that He sent guidance for you. Not only that, He sent an example of how to implement that guidance: That is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Think for a moment about how you got to this point in your life: Your story, your journey is uniquely yours. Likewise, moving forward, your journey will continue to be unique. When you realize that Islam is the truth and you knew you had to accept it, so you took that step to say the Shahadah , the declaration of faith; you brought witness that there is nothing worthy of worship except the one God (Allah) who created everything, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was in fact His last and final Prophet and Messenger. That took courage....

[I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq ! And what will convey to you what the Tariq is? It is the Star Piercing [the darkness]! ( Surat At-Tariq 86:1-3 ). A pulsar star is a highly magnetized neutron star, with a relatively small radius between 10 and 15 km, having somewhat greater mass than the Sun which has a radius of approximately 1 million km. This type of stars beams out radiation along the magnetic poles. These radiation pulses reach Earth in the same manner as the beam from a lighthouse causes flashes.

“The caravan departs, and the traveler enters into a foreign land. He becomes separated from the habits and customs associated with his homeland.  This allows him to ponder carefully over his situation. He seeks the most important thing that helps in his journey to Allah that deserves his life’s pursuance.” ( The Magnificent Journey by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah ) The first hijrah (that began the Islamic calendar) was a journey to new opportunity that we are reaping the results of to this day, as the Muslim community outside of Makkah prospered. Today the hijrah is still a journey, a migration we can all take. However, few of us think of this migration in any other terms than a change of physical location. But migration of the heart , or a hijrah to Allah, is a much greater and more fundamental journey we must all take. As Ibn Qayyim suggests, only in this journey, this leaving the familiar, does one begin to examine his own purpose. When thinking about any journey, there are alw...
