I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the following verse of the Holy Quran: chapter 29 Al Ankabut, verse 38: “…And Satan had made pleasing to them their deeds and averted them from the path…” As mentioned in this verse the Devil fools people into committing sins and makingContinue reading “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 56”

PodSeries: The Material World – 3
In a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 2142, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that a muslim should be moderate when seeking worldly things as what is destined for them will surely reach them. It is important to understand that Islam does not encourage muslims to completely abandonContinue reading “PodSeries: The Material World – 3”
PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 55
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 “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 55”
PodSeries: The Material World – 2
In a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6416, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, once advised Abdullah Bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, to live in this world as a stranger or a traveller.

I had a thought which I wanted to share. If a person was hired for a specific job, such as painting a house, they are highly unlikely to receive their wages if they decide to do another duty, such as hoovering the house. Even though what they decided to do is not bad but asContinue reading “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 54”
PodSeries: The Material World – 1
It is important to note, the material world which one should detach from actually refers to one’s desires. It does not refer to the physical world, such as the mountains.

PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 53
I had a thought which I wanted to share. Unfortunately, some Muslims have adopted a weak characteristic which only hinders them from improving for the better. Namely, they compare their situation and circumstances to others who are facing easier circumstances and use this as an excuse not to increase their obedience to Allah, the Exalted,Continue reading “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 53”
PodSeries: Ties of Kinship– 9
Upholding the ties of kinship is a vital aspect of Islam which cannot be abandoned if one desires success in both worlds. A true sign of one’s faith is not spending all day worshipping Allah, the Exalted, in a Mosque but it is to fulfill the rights of Allah, the Exalted, and to fulfill theContinue reading “PodSeries: Ties of Kinship– 9”
PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 52
I had a thought which I wanted to share. Even though the number of Muslims have increased over time it is obvious that the strength of Muslims has only decreased. Each Muslim irrespective of the strength of their faith believes in the authenticity of the Holy Quran as doubting it would cause them to loseContinue reading “PodSeries: Strengthening Faith – 52”
PodSeries: Ties of Kinship– 8
In a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 5090, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that a person is married for four reasons: their wealth, lineage, beauty or for their piety.
