Condolences Pour in for AboutIslams Tarek Ezzat

Messages of condolences have been pouring in, mourning the passing of Br. Tarek Ezzat, former CEO of AboutIslam.net, eulogising the man who dedicated his life to Islamic faith, leaving inspiring legacy behind.

Here we share with you some of the messages we have received so far

Dr. Jasser Auda

“The Muslim Ummah lost a great deal of its strategic assets by losing my dear brother Ustaz Tarek Ezzat. He was – Allah bless his soul – a staunch defender of the Ummah’s right to be aware and be educated. And this is one of the major crises that we have today as an Ummah, the crisis of wide spread ignorance and lack of awareness.

“Yet, in his relentless efforts -which he consistently carried out against all odds and throughout his blessed life- Brother Tarek faced the ailments of his body with a glowing smile, beautiful patience and a deep sense of relying on Allah. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and to our beloved Muslim Ummah.”

Fadel Soliman

“Tareq Ezzat is by far the purest soul I’ve ever met… His biggest concern was bringing the right information about Islam in a spiritual way to the non Arabic speaking community, Muslims or non Muslims. Every time he heard a talk of mine that he liked, he would send it’s link to me and ask me to do it again but in English.

“For his pure soul I will dedicate-inshaAllah- my explanation of the Quran, is being translated at the moment. May Allah shower his soul with mercy and turn any misdeeds into good deed and multiply them in his records.”

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...
