A Simple, yet Powerful Reminder by Br. Jalal ibn Sa’eed

4. October, 2007 by Ahmad AlFarsi Inspiration and Spirituality 8 comments

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

As the last 10 nights of Ramadhan are now upon us, I wanted to share a short and simple yet extremely powerful lecture given by Br. Jalal ibn Sa'eed. This lecture is a brief tafseer of Surat At-Takaathur and is only about 10 minutes long; subḥānAllāh, it goes straight to the heart and hits the nail on the head. May Allāh protect us from getting caught up in this dunya, especially during this blessed month, and allow us always to remember the true purpose of our creation.

We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.
