It is obligatory for every Muslim to believe in Qadar since it is one of the six mandatory articles of faith. Allah Almighty says:”Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz)”. [Qur’an 54:49] Belief in Qadar is to know that everything that happens lies under the […]

Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: “And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed Near (to them by My Knowledge).

There are many people who couldn’t know Allah easily since the way towards knowing Him is not that easy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “the way to paradise is surrounded by hardships.”  Here, we will derive the example of a young Magus man who was responsible for sitting and keeping […]
