I had a thought which I wanted to share. Muslims often increase their obedience to Allah, the Exalted, such as attending the Mosque for the congregational prayers or reciting more spiritual exercises in times of difficulty. But in times of ease they often relax and become lazy. But it is important to note, that generallyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: TIMES OF EASE”

One thing which can help a person to avoid stress associated with this is by adoptingContinue reading “PODNEWS: BALANCED MENTAL STATE”
PODHADITH: WORKING FOR THE HEREAFTER
In a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 2864, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned that on Judgment Day the Sun will be brought within two miles of the creation.

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”

As Islam promotes unity even small actions which can potentially damage relationships betweenContinue reading “PODHADITH: EXCLUDING OTHERS”
