How Can We Come Together for the Sake of Allah?

Nowadays, so many things are meant for us to hate each others and discriminate against each others.

‘How Can the Muslims Stop Hating Each other?’…. In this short but powerful and rich video, Mufti Menk is explaining how we can achieve peace without compromising our faith, but rather applying tolerance and keeping our beliefs near to our heart at all times.

Transcription:

We are not asking you to give up something to make people happy! No! You don’t just shave off your beard! You don’t just remove your hijab because you want to fit in! Because fitting in will never ever end

[…] believe what you have to, let others do what they have to as well thank Allah, that Allah has blessed you with respect with honor, with dignity, with calmness. We don’t drink!  We are not intoxicated. We are not people who abuse anything! Subhan’Allah … we don’t do that which is haraam.

We seek the forgiveness of Allah constantly. We continue encouraging each other to be able to achieve the peace

 

Mufti Menk illustrates the greatness of our difference and what we are meant to do, as well as what are these difference made for? Why aren’t we simply all the same? He has a witty way of breaking it to us (see from 2m04sec)

 

[…] the differences we have […] as human beings […] is not there to discriminate against one another! It’s not there in order for one to think that “I’m above” […] it’s there for recognition purposes so that you can recognize one another.

[…] I always say we would meet number plates on our foreheads […]

Allah knows!

Learn to love people, learn to respect them learn to honor them.

A very important reminder as a Muslim: the most honored in the eyes of Allah from amongst you is he or she who is the closest to Allah in piety.

Mufti Menk explains how thinking that we are better and trying to demonstrate it, is just about to backfire! (with his usual entertaining practical examples J  )

[…] anyone who thinks “oh I’m pious! I am a pious person!”… That’s the beginning of the end of their piety because piety makes you humble it makes you concerned!

[…] when people think others are going to hell, I always say “perhaps you are already there?! That’s why you can see who’s there, who’s not there??!! How can you tell?

[…] May Allah forgive us, may Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala grant us ease … We don’t need to think that way, we need to rectify ourselves

Friendship for the Sake of Allah

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
