One year, during a sermon in the month of Shaban, the khatib deviated from his usual tone. The 15th of Shaban was typically reserved for a sermon focused on the horrors of the Day of Judgment. The audience would be left shaken, with tears streaming down their faces as they trembled with fear. But that year, the Khatib took a different approach. 'Let us speak of mercy this time,' he said. The sermon still revolved around the Day of Judgment, but ...See more

We might begin a project with pure sincerity (ikhlas), but that's not a guarantee that our efforts will remain sincere forever. We have to be vigilant in our guarding our intentions and question our sincerity if we begin to feel desperate for validation and appreciation from others.

If you began something with a sincere desire to serve Allah, but now you find yourself bitter or resentful because you don't feel successful, appreciated, or acknowl...See more

Bismillah

Every Ramadan, I start with high hopes—plans to complete the Quran, long nights of prayer, deep reflection, and extra acts of worship. But as the days pass, life happens. Between fasting, taking care of my family, preparing meals, and handling responsibilities, I find myself falling short of those ambitions. And then, the guilt creeps in. The whisper that I haven’t done enough, that I wasted precious time, that I could have prayed mor...See more

Bismillah
In continuation from previous reflection

I have been thinking about it for quite some time now.
Especially the part about creativity,
about career,
about becoming someone.

Why is it that people assume
Islam does not care for this?
That faith is only prayer,
only fasting,
only waiting for the afterlife.

Why is 'becoming' treated
as if it is outside of religion?
Why do we believe
that working on ourselves,
sharpening our minds,
devel...See more

I want to tell you a story—one as old as time. A story of two brothers united in purpose but divided by choice. A choice that sent them on different paths and, thus, different destinations altogether. You think you know this story, and you do, but I promise you, it’s not the story you’re thinking of right now.

Our story begins with a king. He was wealthy and wise and ruled far and wide. One day on one of his expeditions, he met two brothers who ...See more

Whether it's parenting,

Working to provide a living for family, and share your wealth to uplift your community and support those in need,

Engaging with the Quran,

Enduring a trial,

The Questioner:
Who am I?
From where did I come?
And where am I going?

Islam:
You are not just matter.
Not just breath and bone.
Allah shaped you from clay (6:2)
and honored you with His Spirit (38:72).
You are a soul,
a servant,
a traveler on the path of return.

Secular Thought:
You are a child of time,
a spark of stardust,
a mind born from nature’s long experiment.
You are free to write yourself,
to shape identity,
to create mea...See more

In taraweeh, you feel something special in the ayaat of sujood. Your knees want to buckle at that point and the sajdah then takes you to a special place of inner peace that you don't want to come out of.

Yesterday the imam read surah an-Najm. This is another surah that is near and dear to my heart. Like al-Hashr it is strongly Seerah focused. It is extremely powerful with a high tempo throughout, consisting of short ayaat that pack a punch and ...See more

وأنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ

یہ آیت میری فیورٹ آیات میں سے ہے۔

اس میں کتنے ہی سارے معانی نکلتے ہیں۔ آئیں غور کرتے ہیں:

لفظ ہے 'يُرٰى'

یہ لفظ مبنی للمجہول ہے۔ اور یہ مبنی للمجہول 'رَأىٰ' كا بھی ہے اور 'یریٰ' کا بھی ہے
آسان الفاظ میں کہیں تو اسکے لفظي معانی دو ہیں۔
دیکھا جائگا ۔۔ اور
دکھایا جائگا

اس سے چار خیالات میرے ذہن میں آتے ہیں

1)یعنی ہماری ہر کوشش ہر فکر اضطراب جس کو دنیا اگنور کر دیتی ہے۔۔۔۔ یہاں سرف رزلٹ کی پوچھ ہے۔ ریزلٹ کی قدر ...See more
