Keep the Spirit of Ramadan Alive All Year
As we enter upon the month of Shawal, let us not leave off the many acts of worship we performed during the blessed month of Ramadan.

We avoided gossip, slander and every.. More -
A Ramadan Resolution
The best thing about the month of Ramadan is that it is a time of purification. I hope that you will agree with me that certain issues must be dealt with head on, and that it makes good sense, sometimes, to talk and listen to one another in a way that shows that we have the courage to stand our ground no matter how hard the consequences may be. Ramadan.. More -

Ranks of Friends
Random selection of friendship Grab a pen and paper and try to write down the names of all your friends, and then classify them into categories. You will discover that some of them are not really friends but rather casual companions. One of them may be your fellow commuter whom you meet every day on the bus or tram.

The Believer Does Not Curse
When the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, guided the one who was seeking salvation to control his tongue, this was an indication of the grave dangers of the tongue, particularly when one gives it free rein. Getting used to abusing and cursing is one of the greatest dangers of the tongue. Many people think too lightly of this and therefore curse.. More -

Strength in Religion: A Trait of Believers
By Dr. Saeed Abd-ul-Azim Strength in religion—the strength to adhere to it and patiently endure trials for its sake—is a manifestation of true fortitude.

Anchors of Relief: Three Phrases
Enveloped in triple darkness—the darkness within the belly of a massive sea creature, the darkness of the turbulent ocean depths, and the darkness of a storm-choked sky—buffeted by fierce winds that whipped the waves into towering mountains and tossed ships precariously, a pure and sincere plea pierced these layers of darkness and ascended..

Staying spiritually afloat
Like many Muslims today, I struggle with constancy in the remembrance of my Creator. I stay mostly mindful of being His servant, often finding myself subconsciously glorifying His name. But just as regularly I lapse and suddenly realize that my heart has slipped away, like the spinning helm of great wooden ship in a storm. Sometimes I feel almost totally.. More -

,Dear brothers and sisters, if you think about the negative results of many of our deeds, you would find that rashness and lack of deliberation are the main reasons behind losing what we want. Deliberation means not being hasty in seeking anything and acting purposefully to gain it. Consider how Allah, the Almighty disapproves of haste. Allah, the.. More -
Allah, the Almighty Loves deliberation - II
We should be deliberate and not hasty in our speech. What makes us act hastily in any matter, without giving it careful consideration?
