Some other religions teach “God is everywhere.” This is actually called “pantheism” and it is the opposite of our belief system in Islam.

Hijab is Beautiful.
Indeed, all praises are due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His Aid and beg for His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in our souls and from the bad consequences of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides, no one can lead that person astray and whomever Allah leads astray no one can […]
Biggest Change in My Life.
As salamu ‘alaykum warahmatuallah wabarakatuh I want to talk to you about my life before and after hijab.

Media speculation since the horrific terrorist attacks onAmerica has pointed the finger at Muslims and the Arab world, and that has meant ordinary citizens of the US and other Western countries becoming easy prey for anti-faith hooligans.

“The heart is inherently dependent on Allah in two ways: from the point of view of worship, which is the ultimate goal, and from the point of view of seeking His help and relying upon Him, which are the means to that end. The heart cannot be sound, or succeed, or find joy, or be […]

Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwâ (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women; and fear Allâh through Whom you demand (your mutual rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship).

Funeral Prayer in Absentia.
A number of people sent me queries concerning the correct opinion on praying salat al-janazah in absentia (on a person who is not present). The question was obviously relevant since people all over the world prayed salat al-janazah for Shaykh ibn Baz rahimahullah. Before I briefly answer the question, I would like to mention the fact that this occurrence (that so many […]
