En el Corán Allah menciona 8 tipos de creyentes a quienes ama.  ¿Quiénes son? En este artículo reunimos 13 versículos del Corán que los nombran. Aquellos que se vuelven a Él Allah ama a quienes se vuelven a Él constantemente en arrepentimiento de sus faltas. Allah dice:  Te preguntan sobre la menstruación. Di: Es una impureza. Así pues, abstenéos de las mujeres mientras dure y no vayáis a ellas hasta que no estén puras. Y una vez que se hayan purificado, id a ellas por donde Allah os manda. Es cierto que Allah ama a los que se vuelven a Él y a los que se purifican. Corán, 2:222 Aquellos que se purifican Allah ama a quienes se purifican . Allah los menciona dos veces en el Corán. Una vez en el mismo versículo mencionado antes: Es cierto que Allah ama a los que se vuelven a Él y a los que se purifican. Corán, 2:222 Y otra vez en el siguiente versículo: No permanezcas nunca en ella, pues verdaderamente una mezquita cimentada sobre el temor (de Allah) desde el primer...

Surat Al-Fatihah has a lot of nicknames, such as the Mother of the Book, and the seven oft-recited [verses], as Allah mentions in Surah Al-Hijr: { We have given you the seven oft-recited verses and the whole glorious Qur’an } (Al-Hijr 15:87) Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said about this noble Surah: “ I swear by the One in Whose Hand lies my soul, the like of it has neither been revealed in the Tawrah, nor the Injil nor the Zabur, nor in the Furqan. It is the chapter with the seven oft-repeated verses, and the Magnificent Qur’an which I was given. ” (At-Tirmidhi) Intro and summary for the whole Book The Qur’an discusses 3 main themes, and this Surah serves as an intro for it and a summary of its main components: A Dialogue with Your Creator The 7 Oft-Recited Verses: An Introduction to Al-Fatiha Whenever Omar Bin Abdul-Aziz recited Surat Al-Fatihah, he would pause after reading every single verse. When asked about that, he answered: “Because I w...

As a practicing Muslim, have you ever thought of the purpose of  creation of mankind? Have you ever thought of the main reason of your existence in this worldly life and what the real role is that you should play is? First of all, to be a proper believer in Allah and to be a righteous Muslim, you have to be sure that there is a great wisdom behind your creation – not only your creation, but also the creation of all things on Earth. Allah did not create things in vain, but He, the Almighty, created this universe for a purpose, for example, Allah says: Then did you think that We created you in vain and that to Us you would not be returned? ( 23:115 ) Also, He Almighty says: And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play. ( 21:16 ) Furthermore, Allah declares the real reason for mankind creation when He says: And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. ( 51:56 ) Although Allah determined exactly the main mission that we shou...

While it’s true that kids will have disputes among themselves just as adults do, many people look to Qabil and Habil not as an extreme situation, but rather as proof that sibling rivalry is an uncontrollable aspect of childhood. As a young parent, I didn’t have any plans to deal with sibling rivalry , but while I was pregnant with my second child, I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to get a step up on curbing it  before  the new baby came. While I was taking a language course, my two year old had won a much coveted space in the school’s exceptionally well-run daycare. This was no ordinary daycare; it was the hands-on training facility for students in the early childhood education program. The care-providers were extremely diligent, as they were being continually monitored for class credit. And the on-the-floor director (she almost always literally sat on the floor with the kids as part of the pedagogy) had the calm and considerate personality per...

I remember a conversation I recently had with my neighbor and friend who happens to be a non-Muslim. As I had just returned from an Islamic conference, I mentioned that to her, she looked at me with worry and asked: Islam is Easy: Why Make it a Burden? “No one advocates extremism at these sorts of things, do they?” I almost laughed, but realizing the seriousness of the situation, and I reassured her that no, advocating extremism was definitely not on the agenda. I was struck by the unfortunate irony that extremism is often associated with Islam when in fact, moderation is supposed to be one of the most fundamental aspects of the Muslim’s creed. The Quran clearly states: Thus We made you a “ wasat ” (moderate) nation, that you might be witnesses for all of humanity, and the messenger a witness over yourselves. ( 2:143 ) The word “ wasat ” in Arabic can be defined in several ways. It means just, balanced, moderate, and the best. This verse clearly explains the view ...

If I say the words ‘protective friend’ what comes to mind? Your best friend, the person you can tell all your secrets and dreams to, the person who has your back, the one who would protect you in all circumstances? Is it the one who turns up at your door with a welcome cup of coffee or the gift that is perfect? Patience and Thankfulness on the Path to Allah Everybody longs to have a friend just like that. Someone who is there beside you whenever you need a hand, or a shoulder, or even just a few minutes of relaxation and joy. The reality however is that sometimes friendships don’t turn out the way you expect, and sometimes friendships don’t last, or are not as satisfying.  Perhaps you desperately need your friend but they have their own needs and problems; maybe their parents are ill or their child needs to go to an appointment. Your protective friend suddenly isn’t able to protect you. The Protective Friend In Islam, we understand that we do have a protective frien...
