PODTHOUGHT: WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the material world and the amount of effort most people dedicate to it compared to the effort dedicated to one’s religion. If one observes the material world, such as the movie industry, they will find that the people involved dedicate a largeContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER”

PODTHOUGHT: USEFUL TIME

I had a thought which I wanted to share. There are many muslims who dedicate much of their time, effort and wealth on things which are neither righteous deeds nor sins meaning, they are vain things. Vain things can also include acquiring unnecessary things, such as beautifying one’s home beyond their necessities. Even though, theyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: USEFUL TIME”

PODHADITH: EXCLUDING OTHERS

In a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 3775, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised two people not to converse in private if there is a third person present as this could make them feel uncomfortable. As Islam promotes unity even small actions which can potentially damage relationships betweenContinue reading “PODHADITH: EXCLUDING OTHERS”

PODTHOUGHT: CERTAINTY OF FAITH

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the following verse of the Holy Quran: Chapter 41 Fussilat, verse 53: “We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth…” All muslims have faith in Islam butContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: CERTAINTY OF FAITH”

PODNEWS: CHANGES WITH TIME

I read a news article a while ago which I wanted to briefly discuss. It mentioned the changes which have occurred over time within culture and society.
