Lust for LeadershipOne of the things that lead to the corruption of the heart's sincerity and Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allaah), increase one's longing for this worldly life, and lead to the abandonment of the Hereafter, is lust for leadership. It is a severe disease in the name of which people squander their money and shed blood. .... المزيد |

The Month of SafarThe month of Safar is one of the twelve Hijri months, and it is the month which comes after Muharram. Some of the scholars said that it is so named because of the emptying (Isfaar) of Makkah (i.e. its people would all leave) when they travelled during this month .... المزيد |
Prohibitions that are taken too lightlyPraise be to Allaah; we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our evil deeds. Whomever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomever Allaah leaves astray, no-one will guide. I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship but Allaah alone, with no partners or associates, and I bear witness that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. .... المزيد |
ThankfulnessAll praise is due to Allaah the Exalted for His Essence and Beautiful Attributes. All thanks are for Allaah for His blessings, bounties, favor, and grants. May Allaah send peace and blessings on His slave and Messenger, the one sent with the sound Religion, our master, chief, and prophet, Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, the trustworthy Messenger, and on his family and Companions, the guided ones who also guide others. .... المزيد |
ContentmentAll praise is for Allaah the Exalted Who is pleased with Islaam as a religion for us, Who has raised evidence that shows its correctness with clear proof, has made the path to knowing and believing it clear, out of truth and certainty, and has promised those who act according to His rulings and safeguard His limits a great reward. He has kept for those who come to Him with Islaam a momentous reward and a great victory, and has made submitting to His rulings obligatory on us, holding fast to its pillars and braces, bonds, and means. It is His religion that He has been pleased with for Himself, His prophets and the angels of His Sanctuary. Through Islaam, the guided became guided, and the call of the prophets and Messengers was towards Islaam. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allaah the Exalted. He has no counterpart, partner, wife, son, or equal. He is far glorified above the lies of the promoters of falsehood and the liars, and He is exalted above the polytheism of the polytheists and the falsehoods of the atheists. I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, His chosen one from His creation, the best of His creation, His trusted one over His revelation, and His ambassador between Him and His creation. Allaah the Exalted sent him with the best religion and legislation, the clearest evidence, the most manifest proof, and the clearest evidence to all that exists. .... المزيد |
Reliance on AllaahAll praise is for Allaah, the Lord of all that exists, and may blessings and peace be on the most noble of Prophets and Messengers, our Prophet, Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and on all his family and Companions. .... المزيد |
PietyAll praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of all that exists, and the good end belongs to those who have piety. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah the Exalted, the Evident Truth. Allaah the Exalted is the One Who made piety the root of the religion, as well as its clear basis. I bear witness that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, is the seal of the prophets, may Allaah the Exalted send His peace and blessings on him until the Day of Resurrection, as well as on all of his family and Companions. .... المزيد |
