I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is strange how some muslims have adopted an attitude whereby they use reliance on Allah, the Exalted, as an excuse to be lazy on those matters which contradict their desires. For example, when these muslims are told to gain and act on Islamic knowledge soContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: RELIANCE ON ALLAH, THE EXALTED”

PODTHOUGHT: EXPECTATIONS
I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is important for muslims in all aspects of their life to always set realistic expectations as setting unrealistic expectations always leads to disappointment, sadness, grief and depression which are the ingredients for impatience and the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted. This only leads to furtherContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: EXPECTATIONS”
PODEVENT: THE HOLY PROPHET MOSA, PEACE BE UPON HIM, AND THE SEA
The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is mentioned in Chapter 26 Ash Shu’ara, verses 62-63: “[Moses] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.” Then We inspired to Moses, “Strike with your staff the sea,” and it parted, and each portion was like a greatContinue reading “PODEVENT: THE HOLY PROPHET MOSA, PEACE BE UPON HIM, AND THE SEA”
PODTHOUGHT: DEPENDENCY
I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is quite common for people to become dependent on others, such as their family. Even though, having hope in people is not a sin but as they are imperfect a muslim always runs the risk of being let down, in fact it is inevitable. TheyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: DEPENDENCY”
PODTAFSEER: CHAPTER 2 – AL BAQARAH, VERSE 73 – PART 1
“So We said, “Strike him [i.e., the slain man] with part of it…” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 73. It is important to note that Allah, the Exalted, could have easily resurrected the murdered man mentioned in this verse directly without the need of any means. But He clearly commanded the use of a meansContinue reading “PODTAFSEER: CHAPTER 2 – AL BAQARAH, VERSE 73 – PART 1”
PODEVENT: THE MOTHER OF THE HOLY PROPHET MOSA, PEACE BE UPON HIM
The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is the story of the Holy Prophet Mosa, peace be upon him. His story is widely known and discussed in detail throughout the Holy Quran.

PODTHOUGHT: BUILDING TRUST IN ALLAH, THE EXALTED
I had a thought which I wanted to share. Muslims often question how they can build up and strengthen their trust in Allah, the Exalted, especially during difficulties. One of the main ways of doing this is through the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facingContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: BUILDING TRUST IN ALLAH, THE EXALTED”
PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 14 OF 18
The last blog was discussing truthfulness in trusting in Allah, the Exalted. It is important to note, trusting in Allah, the Exalted, does not mean one should abandon means, such as medicine, as a trusting muslim understands that both the means and outcome have been created and decided by Allah, the Exalted. So they useContinue reading “PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 14 OF 18”
PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 13 OF 18
The next aspect of truthfulness is truthfulness in trusting Allah, the Exalted. This is such an important aspect that Allah, the Exalted, combined this with being a true believer. Meaning, one cannot be a true believer until they trust in Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 23: “…And upon Allah rely, if youContinue reading “PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 13 OF 18”
PODTHOUGHT: HOPING IN PEOPLE
I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over a common thing many people do. That is they place hope in people. The problem with this attitude is that as people are not Angels they are bound to make mistakes and fall short of people’s expectations and hopes. In addition, asContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: HOPING IN PEOPLE”
