Be Beautiful

We sometimes forget about this aspect of Islam. Our Deen does not restrict us from being beautiful. It is narrated in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet sall Allahu alayhi wa sallam said:
“Indeed Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty.”
Although we cannot see Allah, we can see the beauty He has created, all around us. We can [...]

Du’a.

It’s such a sensational feeling when you forget, even for just a second, your surroundings and the people rushing about…and you perceive with your deepest senses that Allah is watching you now, at this very moment when you are thinking of Him…and you know that HE is listening to all that you are whispering to [...]

two quotes to think about!

When Allah created me, He did not consult my father, so why should I consult my father in order to serve Allah?

change

It’s good to have a change of scenery sometimes when you’re praying. I wasn’t really able to concentrate much at home in my salah…I finally went to the masjid today after months! and it felt soo good alhamdulillah :)  I think  I should make it a point to go every week or every two weeks. [...]

Surah Al-Inshiqaq

Bismillah
I was reading the tafseer of a beautiful surah this morning…it is one of my favorite from the last juz. The comparison between the blessed and the damned on the Day of Judgement is highlighted in it.
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُ ۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ (٧) فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابً۬ا يَسِيرً۬ا (٨) وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورً۬ا (٩) وَأَمَّا مَنۡ [...]

Surah Muhammad

I thought I’d write down some tafseer I was reading a few days ago from my notes, I do remember that it didn’t particularly affect me when I was studying it but this time around, it did. That is the beauty of the Qur’an, isn’t it…you learn something new everytime.
So the ayahs I read were [...]

Jumu’ah – Day of Success

It’s Friday, so I thought I’d put up a reminder of stuff that should be done on Fridays. This is for myself first, because I am really lazy in reciting the whole of Surah Al-Kahf; I usually stick to reciting the first and last 10 verses.
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said:
‘Whoever reads Surah [...]

account

My mom told me a true scary story. I mean, it really scared me, and I hope it stays that way.
There was an old lady and everyone in her community said she was so kind to everyone, and would always be reading Qur’an and praying, never missing her Salah. When she was dying, she was [...]
