An Hour On Wednesday

November 6, 2019

On a day like this, a Wednesday, from the most radiant of cities, from Masjid Al-Fatḥ, between Ḏhuhr and ʿAṣr, the most noble of Prophets ﷺ supplicated Allāh and Allāh responded. Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh said, “Thereafter, whenever a weighty and trying matter would burden me, I would pursue that hour to supplicate [Allāh] and I would always find an answer.” [Graded Ḥasan by Imām Al-Albānī, in: Ṣaḥīḥ at-Targhīb.]…

What About Women?

May 8, 2018

Reading my notes on ʿulūm Al-Qurʾān, I came across the following under the study of reasons of revelation and it made me smile. Um Salamah said to the Messenger ﷺ: “O Rasūl Allāh, I have not heard Allāh mention anything about women and migration.”…

Ḥadīth

April 3, 2018

Ever had that ‘gut feeling’ to do something right or to stop you from doing something wrong? Ever found yourself an audience to an internal debate when deciding between a wrong and a right; one pushing you towards wrong and the other pushing you towards right? In a Ḥadīth narrated in at-Tirmidhī: ❝The Shayṭān has some influence over the son of Ādam and the angel has some influence over the son of Ādam. The influence of Shayṭān is to remind…
