January 13, 2012 44 Comments

Just like the meaning, the prayer ṣalāt’-l-istikhārah, which is from the Sunnah of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam), is an authentically narrated Sunnah of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and an extremely emphasized practice of the Messenger (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Just like the meaning of the word istikhārah, the purpose of the ṣalāh is similarly to seek that which is good from Allāh (subḥānahu wa ta‘āla).

October 8, 2010 11 Comments

At first you point at others and say, "How sad." You pity them due to issues that you assume could never affect you. Then you wake up one day and that fire is burning inside your own home. Crisis. One involving family, at that. Even the seemingly devout are struggling. As an Ummah among the many things we must deal with today, family is at the top of the list. When family crumbles, civilizations fall. The irony, is that all we need to repair the situation, is to implement the way of life we call our own, Islam. The lecture below details this issue and talks about the initial steps to putting out this fire. Read More »
