In periods when society is dragged into unbelief and immorality like logs swept away by flood waters, conveying the message of Islam is the foremost duty of a believer.
MESSAGE OF DAY
17 April 2017
A greedy person resembles an ewer; their mouth remains open even if their stomach is full. However, even if you were to empty the oceans into it, what more than its capacity could an ewer possibly hold?

When Muhammad al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi was asked: “What is spending in the way of Allah?” he answered: “Spending in the way of Allah is to find peace in pleasing another.”
15 April 2017
One who loves deems a duty sacrifice for their beloved in equal measure to their love. Spending for the creation of Allah in His way is tantamount to love of Allah.
14 April 2017
Allah Almighty does not burden His servants with more than they can bear. But this means that we are obliged to strive for Allah in proportion to our ability.
13 April 2017
Let us not forget that we will be accountable not for those struggles we fought in the way of Allah and lost, but those struggles we did not join, while we had the chance.
12 April 2017
The reward for a deed carried out for show is wasted. Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi says: “One ought not empty the bag through the hole in the bottom while trying to fill it from the top.”
11 April 2017
Islam, the Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah are our most precious treasure. Sitting upon a treasure without knowing its true worth is the greatest heedlessness.
10 April 2017
It is imperative that we raise compassion over and above all mortal loves. Let us have mercy on Allah’s creation that we ourselves become worthy of Divine mercy.
9 April 2017
The soul of a true believer cannot find solace solely in their own belief while there are those in need of the call of guidance around them.
8 April 2017
It is stated in a Prophetic Tradition: “There is no supplication as readily accepted as the supplication of a believer for another believer in their absence.” (Tirmidhi, Birr, 50)
7 April 2017
As indicated in a Prophetic Tradition: “…One who wants Allah to answer them during times of hardship and difficulty, then let them increase their supplications during times of ease…” (Jam’ al-Fawa’id, 9219-9225)
6 April 2017
True repentance is a sincere remorse in the face of sin. Sometimes a sin requires a thousand tears for its forgiveness, while at other times a single tear coming from the heart washes away a thousand sins.
5 April 2017
The most important education in life is experiential knowledge of Allah. The most beautiful art is to be able to lead one’s life as a Muslim. The greatest skill is to be able to die as a Muslim.
4 April 2017
Piousness, renunciation and righteousness is not abandoning the world, but, as in the case of Prophet Solomon, upon him be peace, not to allow love of the world to enter into one’s heart.
