Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan Mubarak! The month we all wait for every year is finally here. Ramadan is a great time to set goals and learn new things. There are things you should do and of course, there are things you shouldn’t, we hope that this list helps!

Reflections: Aisha (RA)

Oppression. That word is so commonly associated with women, especially Muslim women.

Reflections: Women in Islam

For as long as I can remember I’ve always heard that women are oppressed in Islam, but I’ve always known that isn’t the case.

Reflections: What Is Taqwa?

Taqwa. A word Muslims have heard many times before. So much so that sometimes, it’s easy to forget the power and severity behind it’s meaning. In its simplest definition, taqwa can translate into being aware and cognizant of Allah (SWT).

Reflections: Is Hitting Women Permissible In Islam?

Knowledge is everything. When you are constantly seeking to gain knowledge and questioning everything, that is when you are truly utilizing the gift of thinking for yourself. When you don’t seek out knowledge, that is how ignorance manifests itself. Some of the main issues that people (both Muslims and non-Muslims) have about Islam stem from pure ignorance and utter lack of knowledge on a given subject. One of the most “debated” subjects in Islam is how people genuinely believe that hitting women in any form has a place within the religion. Astaghfirullah.

Reflections: Advising In Islam

In the age of social media, not only does everyone have an opinion, but everyone knows everyone’s opinion.

Reflections: Ways To Earn Barakah

What is barakah and why should we try our best in attaining it? In its simplest definition, barakah can be described as a bountiful, divine blessing from Allah (SWT). 

Reflections: Only God Can Judge Me

“Only God can judge me.” I hear this phrase so often when someone wants to justify haram actions.

Reflections: Weak Iman

Iman (faith) is the best thing a person can have. Iman is beautiful, comforting, peaceful, but often times it can become weak within us.

Reflections: Seek Forgiveness

The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, ‘O son of Adam, as long as you call on Me, I shall forgive you of what you have done, and think nothing of it. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach up to the clouds in the sky, and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you and think nothing of it. O son of Adam, even if you were to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you were to meet Me after death, not worshipping anything besides Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as the earth.”
