NEW SERIES! Falling in Love With Reading: The Forgotten Habit of Scholars | Sheikh Muhammad Huzaifah

When was the last time you opened a beneficial book, and enjoyed reading it so much that didn't want to put it down? Some of us may wonder if that's even possible, right? We have never had more Islamic content within reach. Lectures. Clips. Podcasts. Posts. Endless information. Yet somewhere in all of it, many of us have lost something the great scholars of this Ummah considered indispensable: a genuine love for reading. In Falling in Love With Reading, Sheikh Muhammad Huzaifah takes us through the lives of scholars whose relationship with books was completely different. They read and reread. Copied books by hand. Taught them repeatedly. Travelled with them. Books did not merely occupy their shelves - they became among their closest companions. This series is not simply about encouraging Muslims to read more. It is about rebuilding a relationship with reading that nurtures your Iman, deepens your understanding, raises your ambition, and helps you become a serious student of knowledge. And Episode 1 confronts us with a striking thought: If Ibn al-Jawzi was already warning about declining ambition more than 800 years ago, what would he say about an age of constant notifications, social media, endless entertainment and short-form content?

You can be busy from morning to night and still not be productive. You can finish your work, answer messages, keep up with responsibilities, and still neglect what matters more. There is no shortage of books, systems and courses promising to help us do more, focus better and get more out of our time. But a Muslim has to ask a more important question first: productive for what? How to Be a Productive Muslim is a new series with Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble حفظه الله looking at productivity through the Qur'an, Sunnah and guidance of the early Muslims. Not simply how to squeeze more into your day, but how to use your time, health, energy and other blessings Allah has given you in the most beneficial way - for your Deen and your Dunya. In Episode 1, the Sheikh lays the foundation: what productivity actually means in Islam, why being busy can be deceptive, and why the most valuable resource you have is one you can never get back. Become a Muslim who knows his religion.

What happens when Allah tests you with the one thing you thought you could never bear to lose? Your health. Your child. Your safety. Your strength. It is easy to speak about Sabr when life is calm. But what does patience actually look like when the trial becomes deeply personal? How do you stop grief from turning into resentment? How do you remain grateful when something precious is taken from you? And how do you protect your Iman when the pain feels overwhelming? The early Muslims were tested in ways most of us can barely imagine. In this episode, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble takes us through remarkable moments from the lives of Bilal Ibn Rabah, Umm Sulaym, ʿUrwah Ibn az-Zubayr and Abu Qilabah al-Jarmi. Each of them faced a different kind of trial. And each response leaves you with a very different understanding of what Sabr really means.  Follow the series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYDi9Ohk_b7g Sign up now to AMAU Academy: https://www.amauacademy.com/ AMAU Academy: https://www.amauacademy.com/ AMAU Junior: https://amaujunior.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amauofficial/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AMAU Telegram: https://t.me/amauofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AMAUofficial Twitter: https://twitter.com/AMAUofficial iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/al-madrasatu-al-umariyyah/id1524526782 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/08NJC1pIA0maaF6aKqZL4N Get in Touch: https://amau.org/getintouch BarakAllahu feekum. #AMAU #Islam #salaf #sahaba #sabr

You have probably recited "Qul huwa Allahu Ahad" (Surah al-Ikhlas) countless times. But what exactly does Al-Ahad mean? And if Allah is Al-Ahad, why does the Qur'an also call Him Al-Wahid? The difference between these two Names opens the door to understanding something much bigger: Tawheed itself. Why is Surah Al-Ikhlas equal to a third of the Qur'an? Why does the Name Al-Wahid repeatedly appear alongside Al-Qahhar? What does Allah being One actually demand from your belief, your worship and your life? And why, on the Day of Resurrection, will there be nowhere else to turn? Then comes an Ayah that gives one of the clearest principles for understanding Allah's Names and Attributes correctly. But how can a single Ayah protect a person from so many errors? In Episode 10 of Names and Attributes of Allah, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble continues the explanation of Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna by Sheikh Abdur Razzaq al-Badr. We all say that Allah is One. But have we understood what that really means?

What could make a Muslim choose Islamic knowledge over Netflix, give up their comfort, sacrifice their free time - and still want more? There is a sweetness in seeking knowledge that, once tasted, can make the pleasures of the Dunya feel small. But if that is true, why do so many students begin with enthusiasm… only to stop soon after? And what separates those who keep going from those who never make it far? In this episode of the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks what it really takes to seek knowledge: the sweetness that makes sacrifice worthwhile, the struggle most students underestimate, and why consistency may matter far more than occasional bursts of motivation.

Reflect on Surah Al-Ma'un with Sheikh Mohamed Eid Almuhairi and uncover what it teaches about Salah, the Hereafter and how we treat people. ▶️ Watch more of this series on Tadabbur of the Qur'an: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQM1BksNs60k You may have memorised Surah Al-Ma'un. You may have recited it hundreds of times. But have you ever stopped to ask why Allah places these particular verses together? The Surah begins with the one who denies the Day of Recompense: someone harsh towards the orphan and unconcerned about the poor. Then comes a striking shift: "So woe to those who pray…" Why does a Surah describing someone who rejects the Hereafter suddenly turn to people who pray? What connects Salah with the way you treat others? What does being distracted from prayer really mean? And could someone believe in the Hereafter, yet live in ways that resemble someone who does not? In this episode of Tadabbur of the Qur'an, Sheikh Mohamed Eid Almuhairi reflects on Surah Al-Ma'un, drawing out its deeper connections and showing how the Tafseer of the Salaf helps reveal a much fuller picture. You know the Surah. Now look again. It may be speaking much closer to home than you thought.

Why does Allah allow the believers to be persecuted while their oppressors seem to grow stronger? Surah Al-Burooj gives an answer that is far more unsettling - and far more hopeful - than simply saying, "Be patient." The believers of the trench were tortured for one reason: they believed in Allah. Their enemies watched them burn. Yet right in the middle of this horrifying account, Allah describes Himself as Al-'Azeez, Al-Hameed - the Almighty, the One worthy of all praise. Why would Allah mention His absolute power at the very moment the believers appear powerless? And what if the people we think are "winning" have misunderstood victory completely? In this Tafseer Juz Amma episode, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks the story of the people of the trench, why Allah sometimes allows oppressors to have power, what their apparent success really means, and why Muslim suffering should force us to look at something much closer to home. But Surah Al-Burooj does not only speak about what happens to the oppressed. It also reveals what the Ummah must do when surrounded by weakness, persecution and defeat.
