I had a thought, which I wanted to share. In this time of open tribulations which Muslims are constantly bombarded with, some often state that the key to escaping them is to move away, such as moving to an Islamic nation, or to self-isolate oneself and their family, such as homeschooling. Even though these possibleContinue reading “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 117”

This thought is connected to chapter 80 Abasa, verses 34-37: “On the Day a man will flee from his brother. And his mother and his father. And his wife and his children.

I had a thought, which I wanted to share. Some Muslims have adopted a lazy attitude which is important to avoid.

Many verses and Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, discuss this stage which all people will face in some form or fashion.

I read a news article a while ago, which I wanted to briefly discuss. It reported on the biography of a famous person. The things they achieved and the regrets they have.

I had a thought, which I wanted to share. The obligatory prayers, which are central pillar of Islam, are more than a few movements. They are in fact a representation of Judgement Day.
