Forming a relationship with Quran:
thalamtnafsee:
..the sheikh who mentored and initially inspired me to consider memorizing Quran told me something quite absurd long ago, and it was this: not everyone can memorize Quran.
At first, I wanted to believe this was true because heck, I was one of his students, and everyone knew if you were a student of Sheikh Ahmed, you were a serious Quran student. I wanted to believe that I was...
Want the Key to Jannah?
proudmuslimaa:
The Key to Jannah is simple : Shahadah of “La illaha illallah” 7 conditions that must be met in accordance to the shahadah ( the doors or paradice will open wide for this person): 1. Knowledge: Know what the shahadah actually means 2. Certainty: Certain about the matter (absolute belief in it) 3. Acceptance: Accept what comes with this statement 4. Complience: Comply with what...

Music:
poeticislam:
There are several messages in our inbox debating this issue, some asking why it is haraam, some stating that it isn’t and that it even fits into islam. I’m just going to make one last statement about the whole thing, that is, the playing of musical instruments and songs.
The Qur’an and Sunnah are not something that we should be trying to fit to society, rather we should be trying...

Abu Bakr (radiallahu 'anhu) and alcohol
Like the Prophet (salallahu ‘alayhi wa salam), Abu Bakr (radiallahu ‘anhu) never drank alcohol during the pre-Islamic days of ignorance. It was not a matter of not liking the taste of alcohol, but rather it was that Abu Bakr knew the ill-effects of alcohol and wanted to preserve his dignity and honour at all times. Yes, alcohol became forbidden in Al-Madeenah; but back in Makkah, prior to the...

You are stronger than you think and believe.

The Secret of Honey |
ryanbhilliard:
﷽
One day, Sayyidinā Rasūluᵓllāh ﷺ saw a bee and asked it how honey is made. The bee replied that they of out to gardens and collect pollen and nectar from the flowers in their mouths, and then fly back to the hive and release it, and that makes honey.
Sayyidinā Rasūluᵓllāh ﷺ then said to the bee, “But the nectars have different tastes… some are bitter and others can be sour. But...
