Live In Deen

In the past five years, Shaykh Hassan Lachheb led groups of American Muslims to Makkah twice a year for hajj and umrah . For him, the journeys were a fulfillment of his life dream to perform hajj since he was a young child, looking at the photographs of his father in the airport as he left for hajj. “Hajj is the fullest manifestation of what Islam is,” Lachheb, now president and co-founder of  Tayseer Seminary  in Knoxville, Tennessee, said, “in regard to spirituality, in regard to rituals, in regard to our connection to history and how deep our history is,” Religion News reported.

Forgiveness is more than an act of kindness to others, it’s an indication of a strong soul and a pure heart. Allah calls us to forgive those who hurt us no matter what. How to Find Happiness? Pardoning people is one of the three acts that Allah praises in the Quran. Allah mentions His forgiveness around 200 times! This is a massive amount compared for example with men who are mentioned 23 times and women are mentioned 23 times. But forgiveness as well as Allah’s name Al Ghafour is mentioned around 200 times. It’s amazing! Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good. (Quran 3:134 ) Allah lists the criteria of forgiveness. What Allah links forgiveness with: Relieve Your Heart: Think Well of Others 1- Spending charity 2- Restraining anger 3- Pardoning people Forgiveness is a sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would encourage us to make seventy ...

We can define the Quran as follows: The speech of Allah which He sent down upon the last Prophet Muhammad , through the Angel Gabriel; in its precise meaning and precise wording, transmitted to us by numerous persons ( tawatur ), both verbally and in writing. The word “Quran” The Arabic word ‘Quran’ is derived from the root qara’a ; which has various meanings, such as to read, [ Al-Israa 17:93 ] to recite, [ Al-Qiyamah 75:18 ] etc. Quran is a verbal noun and hence means the ‘reading’ or ‘recitation’. As used in the Quran itself, the word refers to the revelation from Allah in the broad sense [ Al-Israa 17: 82 ] and is not always restricted to the written form in the shape of a book, as we have it before us today. However, it means revelation to Muhammad only, while revelation to other prophets has been referred to by different names (e.g. tawrah , Injil , kitab , etc.). Other Names of the Quran What Does the Quran Mean to Muslims? The revelation from Allah to the Pro...

Before I embraced Islam at the age of 25, I considered myself a staunch feminist.  Most young women in my circle of friends did, and with good reason. Throughout our childhoods in the United States, we had routinely witnessed grown women and girls like us being disrespected by males, sexually harassed, and denied opportunity.  Nana Asma’u - The Early Islamic Feminist Icon The sitcoms, movies, and commercials that we grew up watching were rife with sexist jokes and portrayals of female characters who were either brainless bimbos meant to make people laugh, or scantily-clad sex objects meant to sell shampoo, beer, and cars. In the business sector, male employees routinely earned more money than their female counterparts for performing the exact same jobs.  In schools around the nation, girls did not have the same educational opportunities as boys, and their capabilities in certain subjects like math and science were frequently underestimated and therefore un-...

The closest we are to our Creator is when we are in salah, in sujood. But many of us want to dart back up again out of sujood as quickly as possible.  We have to learn from Musa (PBUH) that through salah we communicate with Allah and when we are in sujood that is when we can really talk to Him and be close to Him.  Don’t read your salah in a hurry. When we pray we must have complete concentration. We shouldn’t give preference to time when we are in salah.  The post Take Your Time in Sujood, Don’t Give Preference to Time! appeared first on About Islam . source https://aboutislam.net/multimedia/videos/take-your-time-in-sujood-dont-give-preference-to-time/

This is the Prophet’s (PBUH) beautiful dua that he made in Taif.
