“My Sahaabah are like the stars. Whomever (among them) you follow, you will attain Hidaayat.”

Abu Bakr means the ‘Owner of the Camels’. Before his conversion to Islam, his name was Abd al-Ka’ba...

The beauty of Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'ah?
We believe that Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘aleyhi wa sallam) & his companions (radhiAllahu ‘anhum) loved one another. The Sahaba were crazy about Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘aleyhi wa sallam)! We believe that Ahle Bayt (‘aleyhum as-salaam) & the companions of RasoolAllah (radhiAllahu ‘anhum) loved one another (excluding common sense, not only in the light...

Istanbul.
Recently got back from a wonderful 4-day visit to Istanbul. I was welcomed by my dear friend whom I am very grateful for; Allah bless her & her family. It had been 13 years since my last ‘visit’.
I visited Aya Sofya mosque the first day; magical. I pray that one day it will be filled up with Muslims once again, praying all together. But this time with Saheb al-Zaman, Mahdi...

No gods, no masters?
So I came across this girl’s profile on Facebook the other day; she’s involved in some movement a friend of mine suggested me to take a look at (concerning peace etc.) On her religious views, it said: ”no gods, no masters”. Honestly, I felt like this is beyond being an atheist (who do not consider the existence of a Divine Creator, for whatever vague reason) but an...

Shab-e 'Aroos
A little bit on the background before I start nagging. The night of Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (ra)’s death is named Shab-e ‘Aroos (the night of wedding/union). It is a night of celebration as Mawlana Rumi defined his death as a union with his Beloved, Allah (swt). Ever since, the Mawlawi dervishes have kept it a day where they perform whirling.
According to the speaker at...

Jesus (peace be upon him); a prophet of Islam.
It’s astonishing how so many Christians are not aware that Muslims actually accept ‘Isa (‘aleyhissalaam) as a Prophet; a very special prophet as a matter of fact. Muslims have more miraculous accounts regarding Prophet ‘Isa (as) within their traditions and the Qur’an than in the Bible. Prophet ‘Isa (as) did not only perform miracles but was a miracle himself as...

Corrupt law.
This week in Cyprus, a 24 year old woman & her 4 year old daughter were brutally killed by the woman’s 29 year old boyfriend. The woman was shot 5 times, and her little child was drowned. Now, wouldn’t it be nothing other than justice if this murderer was sentenced to death? Not only for the sake of the 2 he has killed, but for the sake of society that could be harmed by...

Secularism.
We live in a society where the police might decide to raid a group of young children being taught Qur’an at a mosque (North Cyprus & in some cases, Turkey too). Speak of liberty. Once there was news on Turkish TV presented by the speaker as ‘SHOCKING’; a class of primary students going to Friday prayer with their teacher. The cameraman was literally sneaking while recording...

True Sufism is following the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah. There is no such thing as Sikh Sufis, Christian Sufis, Universal Sufis or whatever. It is a part of Islam, and only Islam; not a mystical doctrine on its own!
Actually, while in the modern day Sufism is more or less…
I believe Tasawwuf existed at the time of RasoolAllah, without a name. The...

Presence of Good Character.
”If you ever find yourself confused between two sides, each one saying we are on the truth, look at wherever fine and pure character is present. Wherever fine and pure charecter is present, pure knowledge is present, and wherever good character is not present, there is no religion and knowledge present. There is no way there can be piety and religion without good character. There is no way...

Al-Sawad al-A'zham
The Beloved Prophet (sallAllahu ‘aleyhi wasallam) said: “He who deviates from the largest group of Muslims (al-sawad al-a’zham), even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam”. [Abu Dawud]
Alhamdulillah, we are the majority.
I also came across an interesting Q&A regarding this topic.
Question:
