How Women Were Lured Out of the Home in the USA
From the 1800s to the present day, family life in the West has remarkably changed. While the West calls this change part of the women freedom movement, a look at history may show otherwise.
We often hear ‘we are in the era of fitnas’ and ‘there are many fitnas in our times’. We come across this word, fitnah, during lectures and talks too. Let us understand what this word means.
From among the numerous things that Muslims are required to observe, e.g., perform salaah, recite the Quran, observe the fast of Ramadaan, being kind and humble, etc., one such requirement is to give sadaqa. Allah Ta’ala loves the act of sadaqa (offering charity).
A person may be doing good and virtuous acts/deeds but due to negligence and sinning the Noor (light) of the good deeds become void, nullified and non-existent.
The following is an ongoing reminder to the Muslims: “Our real life is the life in the Hereafter.”
It is an undisputed fact that the responsibility for the protection and preservation of the noble Deen of Islam was handed over to an extraordinary and elite group of “stars” known as the Sahaba Kiraam (Radiyallahu ‘Anhum Ajmaieen). They were the closest to Nabi (Salallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) and learnt and understood the Deen directly from Nabi (Salallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam). It is indeed through their trials, tribulations, sacrifices and relentless actions that generation after generation will continue to enjoy and relish the sublime beauties of the chosen Deen-ul-Islam.

Every true Muslim is linked to the great creed and way of our forefather Ibraheem AS. The great bounty of Imaan and faith makes us proud bearers of the universal way of Ibraheem and everything he stood for.
Dear Respected Maulana
Assalamu alaykum warahmatu llah wabara katuh
With the grace of Allah (swt) I hope that this letter finds you in good health. Insha Allah.
I hereby humble myself to you by means of this letter, and wish to thank you so much to have awarded me and my family the finance to finish building of our family house. Your organisation’s tremendous generous assistance meant so much to me and my family. Were it not for this assistance, we would have not been able to afford finishing the house because of our financial dilemmas. Moreover, we are now residing at the above mentioned address.
"So abstain from the pollution of the idols and abstain from false vain words." (Ch. 22, V. 30) Some may argue for the permissibility of “light music” in Islam. However, this position is seriously questionable.
Quite often we tend to overlook the great importance and virtue of consuming halaal. The truth of the matter is, just one morsel of haram, that is carelessly eaten or drunk, can have devastating consequences.
Once Saad bin Abi Waqqas (R) requested Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam) to ask Allah to accept all his duas --- i.e. make him a Mustajãbud Dawaat, --- meaning a person whose duas are accepted.
Nabi replied: “O Saad! Be cautious in consuming only halaal and wholesome and Allah Ta’ala will make you a Mustajãbud Dawaat.”

As a revert in Islam, I firstly want to say JazakAllah for restoring hope and faith into my family.
Shaban is an exceptionally blessed month for Muslims. It is the curtain raiser to the month of Ramadan and hosts the 15th night of Shaban - a great night when Allah Ta'ala's Mercy and forgiveness is all- encompassing.
It is natural anthropological law that some people have more wealth than others. Likewise, some people are stronger and others are weak, some are well informed and others are less informed, etc.
I write to appreciate the financial aid. It has made a big difference and setting some very important needs, which without it would be a humiliating hardship.
