The Shahadah

The Shahadah is the declaration of faith in Islam. It means "There is no God but The-God, and Muhammad is the messenger of The-God. Arabic: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله ALLAH is an arabic word that means The-God. So basically, to be a Muslim (one who submits to God), you need to believe that God is God . A lot of people say this or that  is God. Islam (Submitting to God) is the only religion where we say God is God. If you want to know why people  deliberately  say  this  or  that  is God instead of saying  God is God.  I'll answer you by simply saying:  God have haters . The Story behind this post : I opened an email from a non-Muslim thinker who has experienced a miracle in every religion (To him, every religion is convincing. So what's the true religion?) I replied... Interesting thoughts. As an Islamic thinker, I believe that every human being (religious or not) will experience mira...

Know the Kind of Life You Are Meant For

Image
In the name of ALLAH and all praises belong to ALLAH  There are people in life who find satisfaction in soul and knowledge work—those who feel fulfilled in guiding others, teaching, and working toward salvation and eternal meaning. And there are people who find satisfaction in business—building, trading, earning money, and then striving for more money as a measure of progress and success. Then there are people who only feel truly satisfied when they build a family— those are people who their sense of purpose is tied to home, relationships, and legacy. Know the kind that you are. Even the Greatest Life Was Not One-Dimensional The life of the Prophet ﷺ is a powerful reminder that human fulfillment is deeply personal. Before Prophethood, he had a beautiful life with an industrious wife and amazing children yet He would often retreat to the cave of Hira. He would retreat to the Cave of Hira for solitude, reflection, and contemplation. He knew something was missing but he couldn...

When Life Feels Delayed: Lessons from the Story of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam)

Image
If there have been many delays in your journey in life, then the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam), his household, and his descendants is the perfect antidote for you. A Life of Divine Delay and Divine Purpose Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam) is the close friend of ALLAH, yet he did not have a child until a very old age. Then, after finally being blessed with a child, he was commanded to leave his wife and infant son in a barren desert, far from people. And later, he was also commanded to sacrifice that same beloved son—despite being among the most beloved of ALLAH. He is so close to ALLAH that, as mentioned in authentic narrations, he is in the 7th heavens, while Prophet Musa (Alayhi Salaam) is in the sixth heaven. My point is simple: even someone so beloved to ALLAH experienced long delays, intense trials, and moments that looked like abandonment. Delay Is Not Rejection What I am trying to say is this: If your life is filled with hardships, it does not necessarily mea...
