The Shaytan is man’s greatest enemy. His name comes from the Arabic root of شطن which means ‘to become distant’. In essence, it indicates rebellion from Allah’s command. He is a jinn made of smokeless fire and was thrown out of Paradise after refusing to bow down to Adam (as). This was a command from […]
People who use acid to harm others await a severe punishment in the hereafter. To think someone attacked a mother and small children! Such depravity. May Allah have mercy on the victims. Allah (swt) established Qisaas (retribution) for two benefits: 1) A form of justice to the victim. 2) A deterrent for other perpetrators. If […]
The Prophet (saws) said in a hadith: لَوْ كَانَتْ الدُّنْيَا تَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ مَا سَقَى كَافِرًا مِنْهَا شَرْبَةَ مَاءٍ ‘If the world were as worthy to Allah as the wing of a mosquito, an unbeliever would not even be given a sip of water.” (Tirmidhi). What does this mean? The scholars mention that […]
Why are the UK bombing Yemen!? Because they decided to help resist an Israeli genocide by commandeering trade vessels?

Praying the 5 prayers is a Fard al-‘ayn (an individual obligation) which is established in the Qur’an and Sunnah explicitly. Allah says in numerous places, “Establish the prayer and pay zakah” in the form of an order which indicates obligation. Also, in Surat’l-Muddatthir the people of the fire will be asked, “What has led you […]
Whenever we face a difficulty, our tradition points us towards patience. However, Ibn Qudaamah (ra) mentions how in certain cases, we can even show gratitude during trials. Yes, this is a higher level of Imaan and it’s not easy. However, it can help some people be optimistic in the face of tests. Below are five […]
Anyone who thinks Piers Morgan is bringing on Pro-Pal guests as a cover to let the other side speak because he can’t, is unfortunately very wrong. I think he firmly believes in his line of questioning, especially about the ‘seventh October’. I’m not even bothered if that’s his stance to be honest. We don’t depend […]
It’s reported that the Charity Commission (CC) is now examining mosques for hosting pro-hate preachers. A few things to mention: 1) The consortia who put forward the request to the CC quote the following as pro-hate: “Victory for the believers”. “Destroy all those oppressing our brothers and sisters in Gaza”, “Praying for the victory of […]
I believe there are four types of people in relation to this current disaster in Palestine: 1) Those who are staunch supporters of Israel’s actions, including justifying the intensity of the current assault taking place. These are Israeli/UK officials and people like Ben Shapiro amongst many others. 2) Those who support extremist entities who are […]
Seven points to reflect on regarding Palestine: 1) Palestine is not the aggressor: From 1948 onwards, five hundred and thirty one villages were ethnically cleansed, thousands killed in multiple incursion operations and millions expelled by Israel.
