The Straight Path

Welcoming Ramadan this year, can be extremely difficult with what’s taking place around Al-Aqsa Mosque to our fellow Palestinian brothers & sisters. This episode is a mere reminder that with a Ramadan Like no Other, we also need to Ramadan Like no Other. In other words, we need to Ramadan with and like a Palestinian.

With the whole world witnessing a genocide taking place, every Muslim - and human for that matters - needs to speak out against it. As we’re taught by Prophet Muhammed if we can’t fight injustice with our hands, then let it be with our voices. #gaza #palestine #istandwithpalestine #justice #humanity #genocide #massacre

Among the beautiful names and attributes of Allah is ”Al-Wadud”. In Arabic, there are so many words to express different layers of love. Allah’s love is translated to His creation in every detail of their lives. That’s why Allah used this name in particular to convey the comprehensive meaning of love and care.

Seerah in Arabic is used to refer to someone’s biography, and is root wise related to the word “journey” as well. In other words when we go through the seerah of the prophet pbuh it is as if we’re walking on a journey through every chapter of his beautiful life.

As we recite Surah Al-Fatihah on a daily basis, we keep asking Allah to guide us to the straight path. What is meant by the straight path in Islam? Why are there so many different groups and names of Muslims? And how can we stick to the balanced straight path in today’s world?

Apart from the chronological approach of studying the stories of the Prophets PBUT all, let’s make a pause on some great lessons we get to learn from Prophet Haroun (Aaron) PBUH.

Surah Al-Fatihah is the opening of the Noble Quran, and the most recited Surah by all Muslims. Let’s go deeper into its different layers, and learn more about its great value.

Some prophets are not much mentioned in the Quran. Little do we know that they have a lot to teach us. Let’s learn from prophet Haroon (Aaron).

People are often obsessed with poverty, fearing it all the time. Prophet Muhammed gives us the reality of this fear in a nutshell.

The first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah are almost as significant as the last 10 days of Ramadan. Let's get prepared, worship Allah and please Him on those blessed days.
