Eemaan Series
The Islamic Aqeedah (faith) is as essential for man as air and water. Without this Aqeedah, he is lost and confused. Who is our Creator? What are His Names and Attributes? Why did He create us? What is our relationship to the Creator? Who are Angels? What is their role in human life? How should we believe in the Angels? What was the message of all the Prophet and Messengers? What happens after death? What are the signs of the Hour? What does it mean to believe in Predestination? Is everything including the actions of the slaves pre-decreed by Allah? Does man have freedom of choice?
Only by studying the Aqeedah based purely upon the Quran and the Sunnah can one correctly answer these essential questions.
Major Sins
The major sins are those acts which have been forbidden by Allah in the Quran and by His Messenger (SAW) in the Sunnah (practise of the Prophet), and which have been made clear by the actions of of the first righteous generation of Muslims, the Companions of the Prophet (SAW).
The Role Of The Masaajid In Islam Series
The Masjid in Islamic history was the focal point where political, social, and religious activities were perfectly blended together. The concept of Islamic ideology paid as much attention to a man’s well-being and welfare in this world as much as the life hereafter. In this sense the role of the masjid has always been instrumental in the social-moral and political uplift of the Muslim community. However, in the later period after Khilafat-e-Rashida, the period of first four pious caliphs with the decline of the political supremacy of the Muslims resulting in their disintegration under foreign rule, the concept and role of the mosque also underwent fundamental changes.
The Evil Of The Tongue Series
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that he heard the Prophet (SAWS) said: ‘Indeed, the servant will speak a word, while being unaware of (its consequences), and due to it, he will be cast into the Hellfire, farther than the distance between the east and the west.’ [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
The Muslim Family Series
The central institution of Muslim society is the family. In the West, the Muslim family structure is often seen as oppressive and backward, an obstacle to modernity. For their part, many Muslims are concerned about the frequent breakdown of marriages in the West, and worry that their own societies may be heading along a similar route. Muslim families today have to cope with the problems of rapid urbanization, and the pressures of living in cities and in cramped accommodation. Although there has been an alarming increase in the divorce rate among Muslims, none the less Muslim marriages tend to be far more stable than Western ones, because they are based on an entirely different set of assumptions.
