Humility - Hadith of the Week
قال رسول الله ﷺ : ما أنتما بأقْوَى منِّي، ولا أنا بأغْنَى عن الأَجرِ منكما
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The two of you are neither stronger than me, nor am I any less needy of reward."
The Philosophy of Zakat
“Zakat is an act of ʿibādah and not an economic system. It is pure and genuine ʿibādah of Allah. At the level of Iḥsān, we must see that before the wealth reaches the human recipient, it first reaches Allah.”
Why Was My Dua Not Answered the Way I Wanted?
What should our mindset be when making dua? What are methods of enhancing the quality and acceptability of our dua? What things impede our dua from being accepted?
Key Quote:
“Dua is the essence of worship, the quality of the dua stems from the essence of a person.”
Tafsir Pearls: Community Sacrifice Starts at Home
“You're contributing to the same mindset that is anti-jihad, you don't want to do that, [because] that's not how a Nabi functions…a Nabi has to function in every part of life whether it's domestic, whether it's military.”
Tafsir Pearl from Sūrah al-Tahrīm (66) Session 1
Loving the Prophet ﷺ Above Else
How do we love someone we’ve haven’t met more than our own parents, spouses, and children?
Key Quotes:
“Loving [the Prophet ﷺ] means that we love Allah. And that’s why it’s not optional, it’s an absolute spiritual necessity.”
“The Prophet loved us first… [he] cared about us even though he never met us.”
Cultivating Islamic Responsibility
What is our Islamic responsibility, our taklīf in this time and place?
Key Quote:
