Social media is a constant in our daily lives that impacts our perception of ourselves. Our perception is our reality, even if that reality is skewed and incorrect, it feels real to us. Social media gives us an unrealistic, glorified glimpse into the lives of others. When we compare ourselves socially, professionally and spiritually to these online personas, we run the risk of developing lowered self-esteem and less gratitude for our blessings. Self-esteem is essentially a person’s evaluation of their own self-worth. Just as a teacher may give a grade of A or D, we grade ourselves. If we have low self-worth we are more likely to be guarded with social connections and shy away from opportunities that could help boost positive emotions. Self-esteem is a grade that impacts our attitude towards ourselves. We want a balance with self-esteem, not too high and not too low. Healthy self-esteem is not arrogant or boastful. As Muslims, we must remember that our worth is measured on a ...

Imagine you got news from your doctor that you only have 5 days to live. What would you do in those five days? And what stopped you from doing these things all those other days before you got the “bad” news? Morbid? Yes but the reality of the situation is we may not even have 5 days; equally so we may have another 5, 15, 50 years who knows? So with this gloomy thought in mind acknowledging its possibility what can we do to prepare for it? As Muslims we are equipped with the knowledge { Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest }, and what better way to remember Him but through prayers. Accepted Prayers Take Time to Ponder on God's Names and Attributes By prayers I do not mean the automatic standing, and prostrating exercise but really getting into the gist of things and feeling the prayers not just doing the actions. How do we benefit from our prayers and reach the epitome of contentment we so often heard about while listening to the stories and bi...

Children often look forward to their time at school. They enjoy learning, being with friends, making new friends and playing. However not all children have a positive experience. Unchecked school bullying can affect children’s mental health. According to research, 49% of children in grades 4 through 12 reported being bullied. Bullying occurs not only at school, but through online forums, emails, and cell phones. Most bullying takes place in school but can occur wherever children gather in the community.  Bullying can include: Teasing Name-calling Threatening  Physical attacks Excluding a student from social activities Spreading lies and rumors Children who are bullied may be seen as vulnerable, “not cool”, not having many friends, and may be seen as “different” (race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual preferences, etc.) The truth is, any child can become a victim of bullying at any given time.  Signs Your Child is being Bullied Your child may not te...

Le travail est la vocation de vivre ; l’oisiveté c’est la mort. Le temps perdu sans rien faire, selon l’imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, est encore plus grave que la mort: « Perdre son temps vous éloigne d’Allah et de l’au-delà, alors que la mort vous coupe de l’ici-bas et de ses habitants. » Ce monde est la ferme des gens, dont ils récolteront le rendement dans l’au-delà. Par contre, ceux qui ne sèment rien dans ce monde ne récolteront rien dans l’au-delà, si ce n’était que des pertes et des regrets. Beaucoup sont indifférents face aux bénédictions de la santé et des loisirs alors que le Prophète Mohammad a dit: « Deux bénédictions que beaucoup de gens n’apprécient pas à leur juste valeur: la santé et les loisirs. » (Boukhârî) Beaucoup de gens avec des corps sains et beaucoup de temps errent sans but dans cette vie sans espoir ni préoccupation ni une cause à laquelle consacrer leur vie : « Pensiez-vous que Nous vous avions créés sans but, et que vous ne seriez ...

How often have you been through hardships and wondered why? In this new episode from the series Inspiration, Muhammad Zeyara goes through a number of difficult situations in a row, and he starts wondering if Allah hates him. The story starts as he is getting ready to attend a wedding. On his way, he goes through several difficult situations, as he first tries to stop a fight, and his suit gets messed up. He then passes by someone with a flat tire, and stops to help, but his clothes get in a worse situation. He then finds an obstacle on the road, which he stops to move away, and his trousers are torn. Finally, when things could not get any worse, his car engine breaks down, and he is forced to hike his way back. However, at the very end, after all these hardships, something positive happens… Reflections As commented by Sheikh Omar Suleiman in the last part of the video: “It might be that you hate something, and it ends up being the best thing that’s ever happened to you.” All...

Before we can speak of deserting sins, we need to have a good idea of what we mean by “sins.” From the Islamic point of view, a sin is a conscious and willful act that violates Allah’s rights (i.e. His commandments) or the rights of a fellow being. On the other hand, we cannot consider a person to be a sinner if he or she is forced to do something prohibited against his or her own will. Watch Also: Companion Stares at Woman In Hajj – How Prophet Reacts? Likewise, acts done because of some illnesses, such as insanity or obsessive-compulsive disorder, are not sins. This is because human accountability is an important aspect of justice as envisaged in Islam. And no one can be truly held accountable for an action he or she has no power to resist or avoid, because Allah does not lay more burden on a human than he or she can bear. The original sin It’s Original Mercy…Not Sin Islam teaches that sin is an avoidable act that harms the perpetrator’s own soul, so there is n...

Dhul-Qi’dah is the eleventh month in the hijri calendar. It’s one of the four sacred months in Islam during which warfare is prohibited. The hijri calendar is a lunar one with its months beginning when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the  hijri lunar calendar  year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the tropical year, Dhul-Qi’dah migrates throughout the seasons.

Mosques are fortresses of faith and essential hubs for all things Islamic. This is especially true within majority non-Muslim societies. A mosque should serve more than just as a place of prayer but as a community. Its role is so important that some scholars proclaim it to be haram (prohibited) for a Muslim family to settle in a place where a mosque is inaccessible to them. So shouldn’t a mosque be a space where the next generation of Muslims swarm? Unfortunately, many mosques fall incredibly short in opening their doors to youth. If we fear the day that mosques will become barren as many churches have in the United States, it’s time to take action. Here is advice on how to make your mosque more welcoming to Muslim youth. 1. Adjust the culture of the mosque { The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided. ...

1 er Principe: Ayez Une Intention Sincère Et Sans Faille Le Prophète Mohammad ( Salla Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam ) a dit: « Chaque personne sera rétribuée pour ce qu’elle avait l’intention de faire. » (Mouslim) Cela requiert de s’emplir le cœur de détermination pour agir continuellement ou bien s’abstenir de quelque chose uniquement par amour d’Allah . Ceci montre qu’on a des intentions sincères et que l’on ne change pas de résolution suite à des raisons passagères. En fait, ce qu’on fait pour satisfaire à Allah (l’Exalté) ne doit pas être délaissé pour plaire à Sa création. 2 ème Principe: Oeuvrez Purement Pour Allah l’Unique Qui N’a Point D’associés Le Prophète Mohammad ( Salla Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam ) a dit: « Adorez Allah comme si vous Le voyiez, car même si vous ne Le voyez pas, sachez qu’Il vous voit. » (Mouslim). L’un des signes démontrant qu’on n’œuvre que pour Allah est de n’accepter que la vérité et de voir tout ce qui n’en émane pas comme va...

Islam’s holistic approach to health and well-being means that anything that is harmful or mostly harmful, is forbidden .  Therefore,  Islam takes an uncompromising stand towards alcohol and forbids its consumption in either small or large quantities. Alcohol is undoubtedly harmful and adversely affects the mind and the body.  It clouds the mind, causes disease, wastes money, and destroys individuals, families, and communities. Researchers[1]  have proven that there is a strong link between alcohol and gambling .  Drinking impairs judgement, lowers inhibition, and encourages the type of risk taking involved in gambling and dangerous activities. God tells us in the Quran that intoxicants and gambling are abominations from Satan and orders us to avoid them. (Quran 5: 90 ) In Australia, a country with a population of around 20 million, about 3,000 people die each year from alcohol abuse while 65,000 others are hospitalized.

Las oraciones obligatorias en el Islam son cinco que están establecidas en un tiempo determinado. Dice Allah en el Corán:   Ciertamente el salat es para los creyentes un precepto en tiempos determinados. Corán, 4:103 Las cinco oraciones obligatorias en el Islam son: Fajr/Subh Duhur Asr Maghrib Isha El secreto del contentamiento es la creencia en el decreto Fajr/Subh : es la primera de las oraciones. Se hace justo al amanecer, cuando sale por el  horizonte el primer rayo de sol. En España esto puede ser desde las 4:30 de la mañana hasta las 7:30, dependiendo de la época del año. Duhur : es la segunda de las oraciones obligatorias en el Islam, se hace cuando el sol llega a su zénit, al mediodía. En España esto puede ser desde la 13:00 hasta las 14:30, dependiendo de la época del año. Asr : la tercera oración obligatoria se hace cuando el sol empieza a declinar, a mitad de la tarde. En España esto puede ser desde las 16:30 de la tarde hasta las 18...

Do you ever wonder what about the people who have never heard about Islam? Allah said in the Quran that when we are born, we have an original disposition (“ Fitrah ” or “ Fitra ”) to believe in Him. Thus this is a very important notion to know and understand. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: No child is born but upon Fitrah. He then said. Recite: The nature made by Allah in which He created man, there is no altering of Allah’s nature; that is the right religion.” [Sahih Muslim 2658d]  “Each child is born in a state of Fitrah, but his parents make him a Jew or a Christian.[…]” [Sahih Muslim 2658e] Indeed,  all children are affected by the beliefs of their environment . Moreover it can be a direct pressure or an indirect influence. The lesson from Omar Suleiman is about a righteous man ( Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl ) who died before reaching Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). First, Zayn always felt that the Meccans were doing something against pure  Monotheism . Hence  he didn...
