from MuslimWritings The greatest treasure in the world that Allah gives to Muslims is iman. Without iman, we are not Muslim. Being Muslim is a gift from Allah that we did nothing to earn and can not be worthy of having. We can do nothing to give iman to someone else whom we love, or take it away from anyone we don't like. Yet we are oftentimes so careless with this priceless gift of iman. Our character as Muslims should be the best. In America, it has become a cultural pastime to publicly … [Read more...]
Halaal Earnings
June 25, 2008 By
Got this in the Al-Haadi quarterly newsletter: Blood is the life stream of the human body. Healthy blood nourishes all the organs enabling them to function well. Good blood is produced from healthy, wholesome food. On the contrary, unhealthy food produces unhealthy blood, causing the entire body to be weakened and one then suffers a host of illnesses. Hence the direct link between what one consumes and physical health is evident. A similar link exists between one’s sustenance and one’s … [Read more...]
Our Sexuality is a Test
June 16, 2008 By
from MuslimWritings Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, “We believe.â€, and that they will not be tested? (Quran 29:2) Allah uses every aspect of our lives to test us–even down to the innate biological urges He instilled in us. We must eat to live, but what we eat may be halal or haram. We must drink to live, and again we must choose between halal and haram. With our sexual urges, we must also choose between halal and haram. Halal and haram. … [Read more...]

A Fools Paradise
June 9, 2008 By
This was forwarded by one of the MyUmmah.co.za readers. Brother Aslam Seedat emailed this through requesting to have it published. It's quite a long read but a very hardhitting and important one, especially for the youth like myself. I've copied this from his Wordpad file, hence my apologies for the lack of proper formating & grammar, I've rectified where possible. It's a long read, and the writer has not minced his words. May Allah accept all our efforts and guide us on the path of Haqq A … [Read more...]

Wisdom when giving Da'wah Story 1 Once the grandsons of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Husain Radhi Allahu Anhuma, saw an old man performing wudhu at the banks of the Euphrates River. The man hastened through the wudhu and perfmored Salaah just ask quickly. In so doing, he omitted the Sunnah method of wudhu and Salaah. Hasan and Husain Radhi Allahu Anhuma wanted to teach the old man the correct method, but they feared that he, being old, would be enraged if his error … [Read more...]
The Two Destroyers of the Heart
May 22, 2008 By
Source: An-Noor Hakim ul Ummah, Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahimahullah) said: In our day and age, audacity and boldness in committing sins has become widespread, which is a very dangerous thing. There are some sins which people are involved in more than others. People consider those sins as insignificant. One of those detrimental sins is lustful glances. This is such a sin, that let alone the general layperson; even the elite are involved in it. They are involved in this sin in spite … [Read more...]

May 16, 2008 By
from RadioIslam Adhering To The Qur'aan And Sunnah Is The Way To Salvation By Sh Salaah Al Budair – Imaam of Haram These days, Islamic societies are being relentlessly attacked by Christianisation campaigns, impudent temptations and open war through misleading mass media controlled by callers to evil and corruption in order to westernise these societies and to divert them from their religion and path.
