• Gossiping, Bickering & Wasting

  Bismillaah
  Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallaahu `anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:

• Obedience

  Bismillaah

We can look at our deeds to really determine this answer. Do we obey him now? Do we have problems listening and obeying? It doesn’t just refer to obeying him [...]

• Holding a Grudge

  Bismillaah
  The three most harmful diseases of the heart are: Kibr, Riyaa & Hasad.
  When someone says anything towards you that pushes you to hold a grudge against them, have any type of ill feelings, just make du`aa’ for them. Ask Allaah to forgive them and bless them in this dunya and the aakhirah. Try to look [...]

• Topic: Music

  Bismillaah
  I came across this post, and once again my thoughts turned towards the topic of music. Before Islaam, music was an important part of my life. It was the hardest thing to let go of after my conversion but I somehow managed, walillaahil hamd. After I had my son, it became a trial for me [...]

• Guidance and a Child

  يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواقُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ

However, I think it would be more beneficial to read the entirety of it and so instead of typing it up (since it is long), I will just be giving [...]
