For many youth, hip-hop music is a powerful form of social expression with universal themes on social justice and the search for identity. Born in Willesden, north-west London, in May 1973, Ismael Lea South was introduced to hip-hop music from a young age. While many see rap music as moving them or even identifying their culture, Ismael believes it has fundamentally changed his life, BBC reported.

We used to listen to people like Big Daddy Kane, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim,” he tells  BBC Radio 4’s Sunday program .

A person’s lower self is open to all sorts of negative feelings. Being angry, getting upset, sulking, getting offended, getting sad, getting jealous and being vindictive; all of our lower-selves are made to feel these emotions as a requisite of the test we’re being subjected to. The superiority of a faithful, God-fearing person who loves God intensely would be recognized by the willpower he shows against those feelings. The prompting one is given is to show a reaction in line with what one feels in his lower-self. If one is bored, he is taught to sulk. When he is angry , he is taught — if not with words but with a general demeanor — to shout and do uncontrolled movements. People are instilled with the idea that crying when feeling sad is normal. When people watch those around them from their childhood, responding to those feelings in such a common language, they naturally adapt these reactions into their lives as well. And all through their lives they suffer the pain of these negati...

El Islam es una religión universal. No es inventada o nueva, sino la cumbre del mensaje monoteísta que difundieron todos los Profeta. Una religión universal El secreto del contentamiento es la creencia en el decreto Por lo tanto, el Islam es el restablecimiento de la antigua práctica monoteísta del profeta Abraham y el mesías Jesús , la paz sea con ellos.

What is anger? Why and how does it happen? How does it affect our health and our relationships? Can anger be controlled? And how can we do that? In this series, we’ll discuss anger and techniques for anger management and conflict resolution in light of Islamic teachings. Living with a highly stressful modern lifestyle, we all suffer from bursts of anger, whether it is we who get angry or others who get angry with us. Daily traffic, the economic crisis, and relationship and job stress all cause everyone to build up of negative emotions that need venting. Often, while trying to relieve the pressure, we burst into anger tantrums , which we regret later because, inevitably, we cause harm in the process, which in turn causes more anger, and we end up spinning in a vicious circle of negative feelings and actions. Under Constant Pressure The constant pressures make it almost unrealistic to ask people to control their temper. How to Deal with Hate and Anger Taking advantage ...

« Ceux qui se souviennent de Moi dans leur cœur, Je me souviens d’eux dans Mon cœur ; et ceux qui se souviennent de moi dans un rassemblement (c. -à-d. qui font mention de moi), je me souviens d’eux (c. -à-d. fait mention d’eux) dans un rassemblement mieux que le leur. »                                                                  (Hadith 72:17) Dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, il est facile de se laisser emporter par la routine d’un emploi du temps chargé. Amener les enfants à l’école, être aux prises avec le trafic et faire la queue interminablement. Parfois, il est même difficile de trouver le temps pour manger, et encore moins pour méditer sur Allah . P...

Part 1 Of all the words used to translate the Arabic word “ Ihsan ” into English, my preferred word is Goodness. This may not be technically correct, but it sums up for us what we are trying to achieve in becoming better Muslims . We are, in fact, trying to be better people, people who think of Allah and be good to others all the time. When we reach “ Ihsan ”, the level of real goodness in our lives, everything we do is for Allah’s sake – and people will see it! There are some people we meet in life who have a big impact on us because they are such good people. As Muslims, we strive each day to become like those people. Ihsan in Life & The Quran Love in Islam - A Necessary Ingredient How wonderful it would be if people in Britain or the USA or Australia would point to a Muslim in the street and declare him or her to be a Muslim because of the goodness of their lives. Such a person would not only be faithful to prayer and eager to do everything the Prophet (peace b...

OK, folks, try this one at two o’clock in the morning or, if you can’t manage that, after the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer when the world around you is quiet. Spend some time reflecting on the Night Journey and Ascension— Israa’ and Mi`raj —which takes place on 27 Rajab. Imagine yourself accompanying the Prophet Muhammad on that miraculous Night Journey. Story of the Night Journey - What Really Happened? Here’s a guy (peace be upon him) who’s been struggling for 12 long years to get people to worship only the One God, Allah. They call him “Al-Ameen”, The Trustworthy, and even the staunchest pagans continue to entrust their property to him when they travel because of his honesty . Yet they won’t accept his words concerning Allah. Muhammad (peace be upon him) sees his followers persecuted and tortured and is powerless to help them. He himself is persecuted and reviled by most. He has recently traveled to a distant city, Ta’if, to try to win the people there to Islam, but he was ignom...

Se necesita mucho coraje y fuerza para autoevaluarse, especialmente porque no siempre nos gusta lo que descubrimos sobre nosotros mismos. El mismo que se necesita para hacer la oración después de abandonarla, porque esto nos confronta con nosotros mismos. Pero cuando hacemos esto ya hemos dado un gran paso en la dirección correcta. Reconocer nuestros errores es el primer paso para poder cambiarlos. Si no fuera por Su Misericordia... La misericordia ve de la mano de la tawbah Es muy importante recordar que Allah es Al-Rahman y Al-Rahim, el Más Compasivo y Más Misericordioso . Allah nos recuerda esto al comienzo de casi todos los capítulos del Corán y a lo largo de muchos versículos. Nunca tenemos que preocuparnos de que Allah no nos vaya a mostrar misericordia, porque Allah ha prometido misericordia a los que creen. Aquí hay un versículo que ilustra esto maravillosamente: Y cuando vengan a ti quienes creen en Nuestros signos, di: Paz con vosotros, vuestro Señor se ha p...

Part 1 How did your parents resolve conflict? Oftentimes, we “learn” conflict management from our parents. If it was poor or we had absentee parents, we are at high risk for repeating these behaviors. Not only that, but we also absorb the expectations of our spouses from our parents. This is regardless of what we truly want in our relationship or if the expectations are fair or realistic. If we don’t reflect on how our parents’ relationship affected us, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.  For example, your father had an expectation that your mother is the sole cook of the home. Your mother met that expectation daily with home-cooked meals. Your wife is not meeting that expectation, which makes you very disappointed and leads to conflict. Shortcode But your mother was a stay-at-home mom while your wife is a working woman, which you prefer. How did your parents’ experience affect the expectations of your marriage? Is it a fair expectation? What conflict is result...

Ella (María) es la única mujer mencionada por su nombre en el Corán y Dios la menciona con más frecuencia en el Corán que en todo el Nuevo Testamento. Un capítulo del Corán lleva su nombre a y Allah, el Altísimo, la menciona como una mujer que Él ha elegido: Y cuando dijeron los ángeles: ¡Mariam! Allah te ha elegido, te ha purificado y te ha escogido entre todas las mujeres de la creación. Corán, 3:42 Ella es María, en árabe: Maryam bint ‘Imraan (la paz sea con ella).
