In the opening verses of Surah Mulk and in the verses of Surah Kahf, Allah Ta’ala explains that He created us to test …

The threat of Islamaphobia has reached such a stage globally, that a Muslim’s dignity, honour, wealth, blood and life is viewed as worthless. Wherever there are Muslims, unfortunately there is suffering. This is indeed painful. Our Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) has forewarned the ummah of the causes for their downfall.

The festive/holiday season sees an increase in temptation and fitnah, a time when people lose themselves, in many different ways.   In a narration in Sunan Tirmidhi, a Sahabi asked Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallm) what is salvation? In response, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) provided the formula for salvation.   عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا النَّجَاةُ قَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ Sayyiduna …

    Allah Ta’ala mentions in the Quran: لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا Certainly for you in Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) is an excellent example; for one whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. (Surah Ahzab, verse: 21)   One great Sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) is his sublime akhlaq …

Allah Ta’ala has completed and perfected the Din of Islam. It will stand up to the test of time and all environments. The Din of Islam is replete with guidelines for each environment and situation.

The companions of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) noticed some grey strands of hair on the beard of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam), and told him that you seem to be getting old very quickly. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied that Surah Hud has made me old.   Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) says in my opinion it was this specific verse of Surah Hud, verse 112: …فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَنْ …

The passing of time, the days, the weeks, the months and the years are all reminders for us that our time in this dunya is running out.

Iman is the greatest binding force on the surface of the earth. The Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum), with their different backgrounds would all sit together in the majlis of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). This Ummah suppose to be one Ummah. The believers should be a support for the next. We should feel the pain of each other. Here is a talk delivered by my beloved father, Moulana Haroon Abasoomar (may Allah …
