The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Do not talk too much without remembering and mentioning Allah, for too much talk without mentioning Allah hardens the heart, and the person farthest from Allah is the one with a hard heart. (At-Tirmidhi) Subhan Allah (glory to Allah) – our heart hardens when we do not remember God. The heart’s nourishment is the remembrance of God, and when we fail to remember Him, it is no wonder that we feel down for no apparent reason. The Muslim Scholar, Ibn al-Qayyim stated: Want to Be Closer to Allah, But Don't Know How! “In the heart there is hardness which can only be softened by remembrance of God. So the slave must treat the hardness of his heart with the remembrance of God.” For those of us who feel that Islam itself has become heavy upon us, look at the answer the Prophet Muhammad  gave to a man who said: “O Messenger of Allah, the laws of Islam seem to be a lot for me (to remember), so tell me something that I should s...

It is indeed God’s benevolence upon His slaves that, not long after the holy month of Ramadan bids them adieu for a whole year, a similar ten-day period full of blessings, mercy and opportunities for earning great rewards arrives. This period occurs at the start of the month of Dhul Hijjah, which means, in Arabic, “the one of the hajj”. God has indicated the greatness of these ten days (and nights) by taking an oath by them in the Quran: By the dawn; by the ten nights. ( 89:1-2 ) Ibn ‘Abbas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujahid and others said that this verse refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days. (Al-Bukhari) Joining the Pilgrims in Good Deeds The Spirituality of Hajj: Tawaf There are special times in the lunar Islamic calendar in which Muslims the world over unite in worship. Dhul Hijjah is t...

Are you hoping for the best without doing your best? What does it mean to truly believe in Allah’s mercy?  Sh. Yahya Ibrahim warns about a major sin many of us often fall into; hoping for His mercy without taking any steps towards change. This doesn’t work. We are accountable to Allah (swt). You can’t say that you hope in Allah’s (swt) mercy, but not try to make any effort to change.  Allah tells us He is the most forgiving but also the one who has the most severe punishment.  We must ask Allah for forgiveness and try to change our life. There has to be a commitment that goes beyond hope.

Muhammad Asad (1900-1992), born into an Austrian Jewish family as Leopold Weiss, embraced Islam in 1926 after living and working in the Middle East for several years as a journalist. Known as “Europe’s gift to Islam”, Asad built up a long list of achievements for himself, including a very popular translation of the Qur’ān into the English language. Asad was a gifted writer, and in his book  The Road to Mecca  (1952), he left vivid and moving descriptions of Hajj . The following mesmerizing paragraphs represent an excerpt from this book. Please note that very slight edits have been made for clarity. The Ka’bah “ This… was the Ka’bah , the goal of longing for so many millions of people for so many centuries.   To reach this goal, countless pilgrims had made heavy sacrifices throughout the ages; many had died on the way; many had reached it only after great privations; and to all of them this small, square building was the apex of their desires, and to reach it mean...

La nouvelle saison du Hajj est là !   Elle commence avec le mois de Dhoul-Hijja . Les dix premiers jours de ce mois sont d’une valeur inestimable. Ils constituent une occasion en or pour les musulmans. L’opportunité leur est offerte pour recevoir d’innombrables bénédictions, tout en cherchant à plaire à Allah (Soubhanahou Wa Ta`âla) . Ces jours s’avèrent être tellement importants. Ainsi, selon le Prophète (Salah Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam) , la rétribution de toute œuvre pie accomplie au cours desquels, dépassera de loin celle de toute autre jamais faite. En réponse à ses compagnons lui ayant demandé : «Ô Messager d’Allah ! (Ces jours) sont-ils encore mieux rétribués que le djihad dans la voie d’Allah?» , le Prophète (Salah Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam) a répondu: « Pas même le djihad, exception faite de (la rétribution réservée) à l’homme, ayant exposé sa vie et ses biens au danger, ne revient avec aucun des deux. » (Boukhârî) L’Opportunité de Dhoul-Hijja ...

Whenever Hajj season comes, I get thrilled. My heart becomes overjoyed because of witnessing the ummah getting united again; and the community regaining the unifying spirit of worship after it faded away months before. This Hajj season gives me high hopes of God’s mercy and forgiveness; a season in which I make an effort to maintain my spiritual high and boost my faith. We’re now entered the most precious days of Dhul Hijjah. Allah swears by these days because of their great importance and benefit. However, though these days are the most virtuous days of the year, they are a real test and a big challenge for us. Unlike Ramadan when the devils are chained, worship becomes easy, and, thus, we become pure and spiritual beings, the days of Hajj are harder and more challenging; because while we strive to boost our worship and attempt to remain sinless, Satan does his best to divert us from that state of purity. As we strive in worship, Satan works hard to make us slip up. More than an...

Comprender el Corán de forma correcta es necesario para cualquier persona que quiera conocer el Islam o acercarse a Dios. Pero no siempre se hace de la manera correcta. “El Corán dice: ‘No os acerquéis al Salah (oración)’”. ¡Estas son las palabras del Corán! Nos dijo uno de mis maestros en clase, en la escuela secundaria, antes de estallar en carcajadas. Su chiste me pareció de muy mal gusto, pero lo que decía era realmente cierto. Se refería al versículo del Corán que prohíbe rezar el Salah en un estado de intoxicación, cuya aplicación jurídica ha sido derogada hace mucho tiempo (puesto que más adelante se prohíbe el alcohol completamente, no solo antes del Salah). Desde entonces, he recorrido un largo y triste camino. He tenido la triste experiencia de escuchar y leer las opiniones desdeñosas de muchos autoproclamados “críticos” de la religión y el Islam, y la mayoría de ellos tienen cosas muy irrespetuosas y blasfemas que decir sobre el Corán. Por esta razón surge una pregunta...

Tu te trouves parfois dans une situation où les choses ne se sont pas déroulées comme vous l’aviez prévu ou souhaité ? Comment réagis-tu habituellement ? Perds-tu ton sang-froid ? T’arrive-t-il même de maudire ton entourage ou de lui nuire ? Ou cherches-tu plutôt à faire preuve de patience et de gratitude, en répétant ces paroles d’Allah : « Ceux qui disent, quand un malheur les atteint : “Certes nous sommes à Allah, et c’est à Lui que nous retournerons”. * Ceux-là reçoivent des bénédictions de leur Seigneur, ainsi que la miséricorde ; et ceux-là sont les biens guidés. » (Coran 2 : 156-157) Aussi difficile que cela puisse être accepter, ce qui nous arrive est toujours pour notre bien. Ceci nous est enseigné par notre prophète Mohammad (Salla Allah Alaihi Wa Sallam) : « Le cas du croyant est certes étonnant ! Tout ce qui le concerne est un bien, et cela n’appartient à personne d’autre qu’au croyant. Si un bonheur lui provient, alors il se montre reco...
