    Many Has One Destination and Many Paths (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    ﷽ One of this world’s defining qualities is it’s filled with lies and deceptions. From make-up crises, predictions by so-called “experts”, non-stop political and cultural arguments, scandals, and endless speculation about what may happen next, it becomes fatiguing. Sūrah al-Nabaʾ cuts through that noise by directing our attention to the one event that cannot be postponed or avoided: the Day of Judgment (يوم القيامة) The Sūrah begins with people in disarray, disputing the reality of the Day of Ju

    Guard Your Islām Like Your Life Depends On It (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    ﷽ This episode is from our Friday Ḥalaqah. Picking up from where we left off in our khuṭbah today, we discussed not only how humans tend to only change when when presented with a crisis, we also talked about how change takes grit, determination and courage, as found in the statement of the Prophet ‎ﷺ احرِصْ على ما يَنفَعُكَ، واستَعِنْ باللهِ ولا تَعجِزْ “Guard that is beneficial for you, seek help through God, and don’t be weak!” itself taken from a longer ḥadīth, “The strong believer is better

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    ﷽ In this episode I discuss my brief participation in the the conference, If He Were Among Us , put on by the Rahma Center in Lake Forest, CA. I noticed that many of the participants were asking about perfection as it related to following the Prophet ‎ﷺ.

    Integrity in an Age of Unlived Words (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    ﷽ By nature, we love an underdog. When a sports team “beats the odds” we love to cheer for them even if we were booing them just a week ago for losing. When momentum builds—whether in a political campaign, a business venture, or a spiritual/religious experience—it is easy to ride the bandwagon and pledge to the promise of future exploits. Yet the Qur’ān and Islamic ethics treats unfulfilled speech not as harmless optimism, but as a critical spiritual and legal liability. Imam’s Corner is a reade

    Finding Your Security As A Muslim (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    ﷽ Sūrat al-Maʿārij offers a sobering picture of the Day of Judgment: * a day when when a woman would abandon her own child; * a day when I man would offer his own mother as ransom to escape the Fire! But the Sūrah also teaches us how to live before that day arrives. Imam’s Corner is a reader-supported publication.
