A Traffic Accident Led Me To Islam

Sister Gurly was in a traffic accident in the US. Her boss told her not to tell everything to the police otherwise her insurance would go up.

My Bittersweet Hijab

“You don’t need this.” These are the words that will probably always represent my first experience with hijab. Though I was only four years old and in kindergarten, my mother would cover my hair with a headscarf before I left to school each morning. My former Christian parents accepted Islam the year I was born, and they wanted their children to be known as Muslims when they went to American public school. Hijab Party - How to Encourage and Announce Hijab with Positivity But my kindergarten teacher had “better” ideas. Each day that I arrived at school, she would call me to her desk and remove my head cover, saying, “You don’t need this.” Then, at the end of the school day, she’d call me back to her desk to put my scarf back on before I returned home to my parents. Yes, I was confused a bit, but I’d shrug it off because in my four-year-old world, adults always knew best. And it wasn’t until years later that it occurred to me that this was something I should’ve talked to my...

Sacred Month of Rajab 1443, When Will It Start?

Rajab is the 7th Hijri month of the lunar calendar. It’s regarded as one of the four sacred months in Islam in which warfare is prohibited. The month is very special to Muslims as it’s one of the two months preluding the holy month of Ramadan, the 9 th  Hijri month. When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sighted the moon of Rajab, he used to pray to Allah in the following words: “O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings).” The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar, and its months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the lunar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Rajab migrates throughout the seasons.

Most young adults are blessed with the creativity and intelligence to find ways to help others despite limited resources. If you don’t think you can make a difference – wrong!

The Eternal Challenge: History & Prophecies in the Quran

It is an established and undeniable fact that the Prophet Muhammad , (peace and blessings be upon him) was unlettered. The Quran which was revealed to him has challenged all mankind with all their literary geniuses, non-Muslim scholars and scientists, from the first day of its revelation to the Last Day, to produce something like it. There is no other book like it. It is absolutely perfect in the Arabic language. It has no mistakes in grammar, meanings or context. Moreover predictions in the Quran have come true; and its teachings are clearly for all people, all places and all times. In this video Sheikh Sohaib Saeed brings to light verses from the Quran as evidence that the Quran is an absolutely formidable, extraordinary and unconquerable stronghold which the hand of heaven established on the earth.

Le Prophète Mohammad Se Prépare Pour Partir A Médine

Comment le Prophète Mohammad ( Salla Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam ) a-t-il transmis l’islam en Arabie et au-delà malgré l’hostilité de son peuple ? Comment a-t-il pu communiquer avec les tribus arabes voisines alors qu’il subissait une situation de quasi-siège à La Mecque ? Une solution à court terme consistait pour lui à rencontrer des pèlerins venant à La Mecque de différentes parties de la Péninsule Arabique. Ainsi, dans la 10e année de la Révélation, le Prophète Mohammad ( Salla Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam ) rencontra des pèlerins de plusieurs tribus. Il s’arrangea pour que ces réunions aient lieu la nuit, loin de la surveillance des Qouraychites. Une nuit à Mîna, à l’extérieur de La Mecque, il rencontra six hommes de Yathrîb. Ces hommes étaient des Khazraj, l’une des deux grandes tribus de Yathrîb (une ville qui sera connue plus tard sous le nom de Médine). Plusieurs tribus juives s’y étaient installées et leurs livres religieux mentionnaient que c’était l’époque du dernier prophète de...

From About Islam 101 to Becoming Muslim

It is hard to find adequate words to describe guidance and the feeling of faith when it first enters the heart. But Mallory Jenkins, a 22-year-old from Missouri, describes it perfectly: “I feel at peace!”. It has been six weeks since Mallory took her shahadah and the feeling is still fresh. That feeling of new iman is perhaps best described by the newly Muslim. It is like the blind person describing what they are seeing at first sight. It brings a renewed appreciation for those who have always seen and have taken it for granted. Mallory says: “I think the beauty and sanctity of religion is that it is pure, and we are not; Islam was the religion I knew I could become a pious and pure person through. I could see all the ways I was flawed and all the ways Islam- through practice- could help me come back to Allah SWT. In regards to beliefs of Islam- it just clicked.” Mallory’s Path Love in Islam - A Necessary Ingredient Mallory’s path to Islam, like many of those who con...

¿Qué creen los musulmanes acerca de los ángeles?

Creer en la existencia de los ángeles es uno de los artículos fundamentales de la creencia en el Islam. Los musulmanes creen que los ángeles han sido creados por Dios a partir de la luz. Cumplen las órdenes de Dios en la naturaleza y el universo. Lo que a veces llamamos las “fuerzas de la naturaleza” se activan debido a la presencia de ángeles detrás de ellas, quienes trabajan siguiendo las órdenes de Dios. Los ángeles: criaturas invisibles Los ángeles pertenecen a un nivel de existencia más allá del mundo perceptible de los fenómenos, llamado ʻalam al-ghayb . Como criaturas de Dios que vivimos dentro del mundo físico de la realidad mundana, los humanos no podemos traspasar estos límites, ni podemos visualizar seres que existan fuera de él. Los pilares de la fe en el Islam Los musulmanes creen en la existencia de los ángeles porque Dios habla de ellos en Sus revelaciones . Aunque los ángeles son generalmente seres invisibles, pueden mostrarse a la vista si es necesario e...

How to Overcome Pain and Worry?

A friend will not literally share your struggles. And a loved one can not physically take away your pain. And a close one will not stay up on your behalf in prayer. So look after yourself. Protect yourself. Nurture yourself and don’t give life’s events more than what they are really worth. Know for certain that when you’re break, no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated, no one will give you victory except your determination. Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility. Don’t look for yourself worth in the eyes of the people; look of your worth from within your conscience. If your conscience is that peace, then you will ascend high. And if you truly know yourself, then what is said about you won’t harm you. Don’t carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah. And don’t carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah. And don’t carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the hands of Allah. Carry one thing: H...

Honey: Bacteria’s Worst Enemy

It may not look like it’s sitting in that cute bear bottle, but honey is a bacteria-killing powerhouse. In Islam, chapter 16 of the Holy Qur’an is named “the Bees”. Some of the verses of this chapter  say ; {And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is a sign for those who give thought.} [Surat An-Nahl 16:68-69]. Coronavirus Pandemic: Tips from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Bees and some related insects produce honey. They make it from the sugary secretions of plants called floral nectar, or other insects (aphid honeydew). This production process contains several steps; regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. In fact, honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose. It has ...

Tu vida es el resultado de tus pensamientos

La felicidad y la miseria, la paz y la ansiedad vienen de adentro. Cómo ves tu vida es el resultado de tus pensamientos. Tú eres el único que de a tu vida un color claro u oscuro, de la misma manera que un vaso toma el color del líquido que contiene: Quien esté complacido (con el Decreto de Allah) ganará Su Beneplácito, y quien esté descontento (con el Decreto de Allah) incurrirá en Su Ira. At-Thirmidhi El Profeta Muhammad visitó a un beduino enfermo que sufría de fiebre y lo consoló diciendo: No hay perjuicio, es una purificación por la Voluntad de Allah. El beduino enfermo respondió: “Más bien, es una fiebre que arde en un anciano y que lo llevará a la tumba”. El Profeta dijo: Sí, así será. Al-Bujari Esto indica que el estado psicológico de una persona determina en gran medida el destino de sus acciones. Los siguientes versículos del Corán demuestran cómo las actitudes positivas y negativas de las personas hacia el mismo tema afectan el resultado de tus pensamientos d...
