Hajj: The Journey to Your Innerself

“As-salámu 'alaikum wa rahmatul láhi wa barakátuh!”  [Wait for adhán] “A-úthu billáhi minash shaytánir rajeem.  Bismilláhir rahmánir raheem. Al hamdu lillahi nahmaduhu wanasta’eenahu, wanastagh-firuhu, wanatoobu ilayhi, wana’oothu Billaahi min shuroori an-fusinaa, wamin sayyi aati a’maalinaa. May- Yahdillahu fa huwal muhtad, wa may- yudlill falan tajidaa lahu waliyan murshida. Wa ash-hadu an Laa ilaaha ill-Alláh, wahdahoo laa shareeka lah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhoo warasooluh” All Praise is due to Alláh, We praise Him and we seek help from Him. We ask forgiveness from Him. We repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our own evils and our own bad deeds. Anyone who is guided by Alláh, he is indeed guided; and anyone who has been left astray, will find no one to guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Alláh, the Only One without any partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, is the servant, and  messenger of Alláh. ...

Virtues of the Holy Quran

Praise be to Allah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves. This encourages them to do more righteous deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself for death and supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgment.

All praise is for Allah who created the people and taught them how to talk. I bear witness that Mohammed is his slave and messenger. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Allah, His angels, the people of the heavens and the earth, even the ant in its hole and the whale in the sea invoke Allah’s blessings upon those who teaches people what is good. " May Allah bless our messenger and his follower until the Hereafter. O Muslims I advise you to fear from Allah as He said: " وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ " [Fear from Allah and Allah teaches you. And Allah is the all knower of everything.] (2:282) O slaves of Allah, our Lord created the human and preferred them, He gave them the effort to learn and ordered them to read and learn. Allah said: " اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الأَآْرَمُ* الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ* عَلَّمَ الإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ " [Read! and your Lord is the most generous, Who has taught the (the writing) b...

O Muslims, The Holy Quran and the Hadith of the prophet abounds with examples and parables emphasizing the importance of dialogue in human’s life. They also teach us to be good and attentive listeners. Indeed, engaging in dialogue was embodied in the Holy Quran’s story of creation when the angles asked Allah”: Behold, Allah said to angels:” I will place generations after generati...

Repentance

All glory for Allah who bestows the gifts and who loves everybody returns to him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, who has no partner قال تعالى: وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً أَيُّهَا المُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, o believers that you may be successful. (24:31) And I bear witness that Mohammed is his slave and his messenger who said: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ إِلَيْهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ O, humans beg Allah to forgive you sure I beg Allah to forgive me one hundred times.

(65:2,3)O, faith Allah ordered us to make remorse and rep...

The Family Values

All praise is for Allah. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, who has no partner, [And among His signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect] And I testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and messenger, peace and blessing upon our Prophet Muhammad and Upon his family and companions, Oh Muslims: family is a very important part of a human life. Family members are not only parents and brothers but also grandfathers, uncles, aunts and whoever relates to them. Muslims should contact with their relatives and please them.

There is a big rewar...

The Love of Allah and His Messenger

Verily, Allah, the Exalted, has praised His loving believers in the Holy Quran:” But those of faith are overflowing in their love for God.”(2:165). I also bear witness that our Master Muhammad is the servant and the messenger of Allah, the most noble of mankind who is favored by Almighty Allah over other prophets.

Blessings

All praise is for Allah who guided us to do good deeds. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, the one and the only. And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his slave and messenger. Allah said:   قال تعالى: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ O man kin! Be dutiful to your lord who created you from a single person.(4:1) O believers every Muslim used to ask Allah to give him the blessing in his life and in his family. Allah said:  قال تعالى " رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنْزَلاً مُّبَارَآاً وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ "And say : My lord cause me to land at a blessed landing place for you are the best of those who bring to land ". (23:29) Also, Allah said: قال تعالى " وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا " "He placed there in firm mountains from above it and he blessed it" (41:10) So there are many good results coming from blessin...

Grace of Health

All praise is for Allah who guided us to do good deeds and gave us the health bounty. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, the one and the only. And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and messenger. Our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended us to ask Allah for forgiveness and health. Allah said: O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him and speak always the truth.(33:70) Allah Also said:  قال عز و جل : وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَة اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُ وهَا And if you would count the favors of Allah, never could you count them.(16:18) O Muslims, God bestowed many graces for us, and health is the biggest blessing. Health is an act when disease gets away from the mind, body, family and children. In addition, there is no doubt that health is one of the major causes of happiness. Our Messenger (peace be upon him) said: قال النبي : مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ آمِناً في سِرْبِه، مُعَافًى في جَسَدِهِ، عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ، فَكَأ...

Family

All praise is for Allah, who commended us to care about families. We praise Him and we seek His forgiveness. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. And I bear witness that prophet Mohammad is His slave and messenger. O you who believe! Fear Allah and keep your duty to him and let every person look to what he has sent forth the morrow. Islam gave the family much attention while Qur’an explained these meanings and considered it a gift from Allah. And Allah has made for you Azwaj “mates or wives “of your own kind. (16:72), The community is needed to build good families that keep values, customs and traditions. Parents must guide their children to the right. This good method was the prophet’s way. And this was enjoined by Ibrahim upon his sons and by YAQUB “Jacob”saying O my sons: Allah has chosen for you true religion then die not except in the faith of Islam. (2:132) Adding for that, parents must participate in choosing good companions for their son...
