al-Muzzammil 5 - 9Assalamualaikum,It is Tuesday, that means it is time for Tajweed Tuesday.

Alhamdulillah, my heart is full.I recently had the honour of serving once again as translator for Habib Kadhim as-Saqqaf — a blessing I never take for granted.In 2022, Allah granted me the opportunity to welcome him to Perth for the very first time, and to serve as his translator during that visit. It remains a very precious moment in my life and one I am always grateful for.And now, on his third visit, I was able to receive him at Qaswa House in full action — with over 200 members of our Qommunity present: students, parents, and families all gathered to benefit from his wisdom, character, and prophetic gentleness.I am deeply thankful to Habib Kadhim for honouring us with his presence, and grateful to the team who made this trip possible — especially those who worked quietly and unseen in the background to make everything run smoothly.To be able to serve a scholar of his stature is a gift I cannot repay.To share that blessing with our Qaswa family makes it even more meaningful.May Allah accept from all, keep us close to the people of knowledge, and allow us to honour them always.

The Prophets (a.s) (S16) The Messenger ﷺ, the prism of perfection. Many have come and gone, but none have matched him ﷺ. He ﷺ put kings to shame. He ﷺ never sought fame. He ﷺ is al-Mustafa, the greatest of creation! Hasan Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه: “A person more handsome than you [ﷺ] my eyes never saw. One more beautiful a woman never bore. You were fashioned free from every flaw. It is as if you [ﷺ] were created the way you sought”. When the Messenger ﷺ was very ill he advised: “Take care of the earliest Muslims amongst you and their children [رضي الله عنهم]. If you fail to do so, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى will not accept anything from your deeds”. Thus it is a must for us to love the Muhajireen رضي الله عنهم. The Companions رضي الله عنهم to us are like the stars. They burn bright. They left many years ago, yet still their light reaches us, guiding us through our journey. They are all distinct beams of light, shining through the prism of perfection ﷺ. May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى be well pleased with all the blessed and noble companions of the Messenger ﷺ, indeed, He (سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى) is!

The Prophets (a.s) (S11) A new born baby was brought to the Messenger ﷺ and was wrapped in a sheet. The Messenger ﷺ asks: “Who am I?”. The infant replies: “You are the Messenger of Allah” (ﷺ). The Messenger ﷺ replied: “You have spoken the truth. May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى bless you”. The Messenger ﷺ once stroked the head of a young Saa'ib رضي الله عنه in the middle, going from the front to the back, then he ﷺ supplicated for blessings for him. When Saa'ib رضي الله عنه grew older, all his hair turned white except the part with the Messenger ﷺ stroked, that part remained black. These blessed events were a regular occurrence in the life of the Messenger ﷺ. What a sight it would have been to see him ﷺ, to hear him ﷺ and be with him ﷺ.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S49) Talha's رضي الله عنه sons, Musa and Imran (r.h) pledge allegiance to Ali رضي الله عنه. Ali رضي الله عنه performs the Janazah for both Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم. Both blessed souls seem to have been buried together in Basra. Ali رضي الله عنه recited Surah [15:47] at their graves and recalls the words of the Messenger ﷺ: “Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم will be my neighbours in Paradise”. Some ignorant people falsely claim that Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم died in rebellion. The scholars (r.h) refute such claims: The Messenger ﷺ called Talha رضي الله عنه a living martyr, proving he cannot die in rebellion. The Messenger ﷺ says the killer of Zubayr رضي الله عنه will be in Hell. (Thus Zubayr رضي الله عنه is on the truth). Hasan al-Basri (r.h) said that the Companions رضي الله عنهم were there, present. We were not. Thus we do not speak about any differences they had. We do not add our own theories. May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى be well pleased with all the Companions of the Messenger ﷺ. Indeed, He (سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى) is.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S44) Ali رضي الله عنه en route Kufa heard that Aisha's رضي الله عنها force was marching. He رضي الله عنه said: “I am being tested with Aisha رضي الله عنها, the most obedient of all human beings. With Zubayr رضي الله عنه, the toughest. With Talha رضي الله عنه, the most genius and with Ya'la رضي الله عنه, the most cooperative”. Ali رضي الله عنه and his force reach Rabadah, an area ~150 miles east of Madinah. This is the place Abu Zharr رضي الله عنه was buried. Ali رضي الله عنه had ~900 men. He رضي الله عنه sends men to Kufa, to get some more people recruited. The governor of Kufa was Abu Musa al-Ashari رضي الله عنه. Only when Ammar Ibn Yasir and Hasan Ibn Ali رضي الله عنهم were sent did the people agree to join. ~7,000 men joined Ali رضي الله عنه. Another ~2,000 joined from Basra. Ali's رضي الله عنه forces were now ~12,000. Ali رضي الله عنه did not want a fight to break out. Ali رضي الله عنه says: “Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم will be martyred, and the Kufans will follow us in even greater numbers”. Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم said Ali رضي الله عنه could not have known this; the Messenger ﷺ must have told him all those years prior! May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى be well pleased with our mother and our mawla.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S47) Zubayr رضي الله عنه tried to reconcile the people, but it did not succeed. He رضي الله عنه left. Talha رضي الله عنه also left. He رضي الله عنه was hit by an arrow. It pierced his knee and was a fatal blow. One report mentions Talha رضي الله عنه was taken off the field and was treated, however he was martyred due to excessive blood loss. Another report states Talha رضي الله عنه was martyred on the field; this narrative is weak but is more favoured as it reconciles with other reports. Ali رضي الله عنه went to Talha's رضي الله عنه body and cleaned his face, then held him in his lap. Ali رضي الله عنه said: “May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى have mercy on you O Abu Muhammad [رضي الله عنهم]. It breaks my heart to see you laying here beneath the stars”. He رضي الله عنه also said: “Tell the killer of Talha [رضي الله عنه] he has reserved himself a place in the hellfire!”. Thus passed away: Abu Muhammad, son of as-Sa'ba [رضي الله عنهم], second cousin and son in law of Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه, the one named ‘al-Qarinayn', the one whose four wives were sisters of the mothers of the believers رضي الله عنهم, the paired brother of Ka'ab Ibn Malik رضي الله عنه, father in law of Hasan and Hussain رضي الله عنهم, the neighbour of the Messenger ﷺ in Paradise; our exemplar, Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه. May our mothers and fathers be ransomed for him. Zubayr رضي الله عنه was also martyred. He رضي الله عنه was praying when a man cut off his head. Ali رضي الله عنه was devastated and furious upon hearing this. He رضي الله عنه said: “Tell the killer of Zubayr [رضي الله عنه] he has reserved himself a place in the hellfire!”.

When Allah asks us in Surah An-Nisa: “What is wrong with you?” - He is speaking to those who ignore oppression and suffering around them.In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) reminds us of a powerful spiritual responsibility: listening to and supporting the oppressed. We explore the Quranic verses calling us to defend those who cry out “Our Lord, rescue us”, and the prophetic promise that Allah will never disgrace the one who stands with the vulnerable.You will hear reminders from the life of the Prophet ﷺ - how his protection from Allah was tied to caring for the afflicted - and the warning he gave Mu'adh (ra) about fearing the Dua of the oppressed, a Dua with no barrier between it and Allah.This episode will shift how you see activism, mercy, and the protection Allah grants those who step up.May Allah make us a source of relief, never a cause of harm.

In this inspiring episode, I sits down with sociolinguist and multilingual mother Dr. Taylor Smith-Benyahia for a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to raise children between languages, cultures, and faiths. Together, we explore how language shapes identity, why both Arabic dialects and Modern Standard Arabic have a place in our homes, and how mothers can nurture joy and confidence instead of perfection. Through her research, experience, and personal journey raising her daughter in Algerian Arabic, French, and English, Dr. Taylor reminds us that every word we pass on is more than language, it's connection, belonging, and love.

Teaching Arabic to our children isn't just about words and grammar, it's about shaping their identity, strengthening their faith, and opening doors for their future.In this episode, I share the heartfelt rewards my children have gained from learning Arabic: adapting easily to hijrah, building friendships across dialects, thriving in Arabic schools, falling in love with reading, and most importantly, connecting deeply to the Qur'an.It's a story of struggle, sacrifice, and immense blessing and a reminder that teaching Arabic is not just an academic choice, but a life decision with fruits in both dunya and akhirah.Listen now--------If you liked this podcast, take a minute to rate it 

Every mother knows the deep impact her words can leave on her child's heart. A single phrase spoken in anger — “You make my life so difficult” or “You're the most terrible child” — can echo for years, carving doubt and pain into a child's sense of self. And the truth is, no mother wants to pass on shame, trauma, or harshness to her children. We want to nurture them, raise them with love, and model patience and compassion. But in the heat of the moment, anger can feel uncontrollable.So where do we even begin? What's the very first step to breaking this cycle and showing up with the calm, gentle presence we long to embody?In this episode, I share a simple but powerful reminder: every emotion first shows up in your body. Stress, anger, even joy — they all leave physical traces, whether it's tense shoulders, clenched jaws, shallow breathing, or that racing heartbeat you know so well. Learning to listen to these whispers of your body before they turn into screams of exhaustion, burnout, or regret is the doorway to emotional regulation.We'll explore:- Why ignoring your body's signals leads to emotional outbursts.- Practical ways to ground yourself in the moment — from releasing your jaw to dropping your shoulders.- How stress doesn't just “live in your head” but is carried in your body.- The spiritual truth that your body is an amanah (trust) from Allah, and caring for it is part of your responsibility.- How regulating yourself is the foundation for co-regulating with your children, because children cannot regulate on their own without you.This is not about perfection. It's about starting small, with self-awareness, and building the tools to respond with patience rather than react in anger. Because when you learn to honor your body and regulate your emotions, you don't just change your own experience—you transform the emotional world your children grow up in.✨ Want to go deeper?

Alhamdulillah, I was given the honour of delivering the Friday Khutbah at the Australia Open Pencak Silat International Championship 2024. It was the first time for Australia to host an international silat tournament.When the organiser approached me asking if I can deliver the khutbah at the tournament, my heart skipped a beat. For those of you who know me, will know my love for martial arts.Here's some snippets from the khutbah. May Allah reward the organisers for their hard work. This is a public episode.

Lessons from the SeerahWhen we look at the sīrah, in the seventh year of Prophethood, the challenges facing the Muslims were unbearable.At first, the Quraysh mocked and insulted. But when insults failed, by the fifth year they turned to violence—abusing, torturing, even killing some of the early Muslims. When that too didn't stop the daʿwah, they escalated further: a total boycott against the Muslims and Banū Hāshim, the Prophet's own tribe.No one was allowed to buy from them, sell to them, marry them, or even speak to them. Forced into the valley of Abū Ṭālib, the Muslims suffered starvation. At night, the Quraysh could hear the cries of hungry children echoing from the valley. It became so unbearable that some of the Quraysh nobles themselves—polytheists, not Muslims—like Muṭʿim ibn ʿAdī and Zuhayr ibn Abī Umayyah, stood up and said: This is not right. These are our people, even if we differ in religion.One day Zuhayr stood with his back to the Kaʿbah, facing the leaders of Quraysh. He declared: Our brothers and sisters are starving in the valley because of us. I will not sit down until this boycott is broken. And not long after, the boycott was lifted.A Parallel to TodayBrothers and sisters—this was 1,400 years ago. Today, history repeats itself. Our brothers and sisters in Gaza are starving—not because of food shortage, but because food is blocked, burned, or left to rot. Just last month, 500 tonnes of food were discarded because of the blockade.If Quraysh—who did not believe in lā ilāha illā Allāh—could act out of nothing more than blood ties, then what excuse do we have, we who claim faith? We say faith is thicker than blood—so why aren't we doing more?Acting Within Our MeansYes, our anger is real. But we are Muslims—we act with discipline, bound by the Sharīʿah. That means we work within the legal framework of the country we live in. We don't take matters into our own hands violently. Instead, we use the means available to us—and al-ḥamdu lillāh, here in Australia, there are means.And we've seen this before in our history. When Jerusalem fell to the Crusaders in 1099, the Khalīfah in Baghdad was doing nothing. It was a single qāḍī, Abū Saʿd al-Ḥarawī, who mobilised the people. After Jumuʿah prayer, he gave speeches, organised protests, and led the masses to demand action from the Khalīfah. Week after week, protest after protest, until the Khalīfah was forced to act.Power of ProtestThat's how politics works. Leaders move when people move.We saw this not long ago in Sydney—hundreds of thousands marched across the Harbour Bridge. And within a week, the Australian government shifted its diplomatic stance. Suddenly, they were talking about recognising Palestine. Suddenly, they were criticising Israel—something unimaginable just months before. Why? Not because the Prime Minister had a dream, but because the people marched.Call to Action – Perth RallySo brothers and sisters, this Sunday, we have the chance to stand up and be counted. Yes, the weather forecast says it will rain. But what is rain? Just water. Al-ḥamdu lillāh, Allah created our skin waterproof.Our brothers and sisters are rained upon with bombs and bullets. We will only be rained upon with water. So bring an umbrella, bring a jacket—and bring your friends. Convince those who've never attended a rally before. Come shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Australians, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, demanding justice for Palestine.On SalahuddīnEvery time a calamity strikes Palestine, people ask: Where is our Ṣalāḥuddīn?But Ṣalāḥuddīn did not appear in a vacuum. He didn't descend from the sky with angels. He was the product of decades of groundwork. It started with people like Abū Saʿd al-Ḥarawī, who mobilised the grassroots. Then came Imām al-Ghazālī, who strengthened the ummah spiritually. Then Nūruddīn Zengī, who prepared the armies. All three passed away before Palestine was liberated. Ṣalāḥuddīn simply completed the work.So the real question is not Where is Ṣalāḥuddīn? but What are we doing to build a Ṣalāḥuddīn for our time?AccountabilityOn Yawm al-Qiyāmah, Allah will not ask us whether we liberated Palestine—that's beyond our means. But He will ask: What did you do with what you could?And even before the Day of Judgment, our children and grandchildren will ask us: You were alive during the genocide. What did you do? Will we say, I was busy on social media?The Quraysh only heard the cries of hungry children. We see those cries broadcast live to our phones. If that doesn't move us, what will?Hope, Not DespairYes, the ummah is weak. Yes, we feel surrounded. But Allah reminds us: Do you think you will enter Jannah without being tested like those before you, until even the Messenger and those with him cried out: When will the help of Allah come? Verily, the help of Allah is near.We are a people of hope, not despair. Even today we see results: countries shifting, governments changing tone, and even the most Islamophobic nations being forced to recognise Palestine.ClosingSo I end with the same question that Zuhayr once asked the Quraysh: Are we eating our food while our brothers and sisters are starving?May Allah allow us to attend the rally in huge numbers this Sunday. May it be peaceful, impactful, and successful. May Allah open the hearts of our fellow Australians, and may He grant victory and liberation to our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

Assalamu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh.Welcome back to BeQuranic. In this session, we're looking at our ayat of the week — verses 9 and 10 of Surah al-Ḥujurāt. Today's focus is Tajweed: we'll read the verses together, highlight key rules, and talk about how to practise them for fluency.The Ayat of the WeekThese are slightly longer verses, especially ayah 9, so it's helpful to break them down in sections. We'll read them slowly, paying attention to the points of stop and continuation.﴿وَإِن طَآئِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِن بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَىٰ فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّىٰ تَفِيءَ إِلَىٰ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن فَاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَأَقْسِطُوا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ (٩) إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ (١٠)﴾Tajweed BreakdownLet's go through the main rules you'll encounter:* Ikhfā': in وَإِن طَآئِفَةً, notice the nūn sākinah before ṭā. That requires ikhfā', a nasal sound.* Madd wājib muttaṣil: in طَآئِفَةً and تَفِيءَ. The alif followed by a hamzah in the same word requires elongation of 4–5 counts.* Madd jā'iz munfaṣil: in إِلَىٰ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ. The madd occurs at the end of one word, and the hamzah starts the next word.* Qalqalah: in تَقْتَتِلُوا . Qalqalah produces a bouncing echo sound.* Ikhfā' of tanwīn: in إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا, the tanwīn meets fā, so apply nasalisation.* Lafẓ al-Jalālah: in وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ, the lām of Allāh is pronounced heavy (tafkhīm) after a fatḥah or ḍammah.* Madd ‘āriḍ li-sukūn: in تُرْحَمُونَ, if you stop there, you can elongate 2, 4, or 6 counts.Practice Tips* Don't force yourself to read the whole ayah at once. Break it into smaller phrases.* Smooth out stumbles by repeating short sections until they flow naturally. For example:* Start with wa-in → then wa-in ṭā'ifa → then wa-in ṭā'ifatāni.* Once each piece is smooth, join them together.* The aim is fluency with clarity. Tajweed is not about speed; it's about balance, precision, and beauty.Closing ReminderThese two ayat emphasise unity and reconciliation among believers. Practising them with Tajweed adds not just technical accuracy but also depth in reflecting on their meaning.Take your time this week to master them. May Allah grant us fluency in His words and hearts that live by them.We'll continue on Tafseer Thursday, where we dive into the practical lessons from these verses. This is a public episode.

Don't Give Up: Hope in Bleak TimesBismillah.The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult for the Ummah — especially for our brothers and sisters in Gaza.And it's not just these few weeks. It's been 23 months. Almost two years of relentless destruction. Every time we think we've seen the worst, we're proven wrong. Every time we think we've hit rock bottom, Israel and the powers that support her prove that evil has no limit.We are now witnessing full-blown famine. Starvation. Infants with nothing between their skin and bones. And on top of that — we hear of America burning 500 tonnes of food rather than allowing it to reach Palestine.At times like this, it's tempting to throw in the towel. To say:“We've done everything we can.”“We've shouted, we've protested, we've boycotted, we've flooded social media.”And yet, the powers that be… remain.But when that sense of despair starts creeping in, we must pause. We must take a step back and remember:We are looking through the lens of our short lives.We live 60, 70 years — maybe 50 as adults — and from that narrow perspective, it feels like there's no hope. But history tells a different story. When we zoom out, we see a sunnah of Allah unfold:Evil never wins in the end.No matter how powerful. Fir'aun claimed he was God Most High — Allah destroyed him. Yet many lived and died under his tyranny and may have thought:“Where is Allah's help?”“Where is our du‘a?”Allah addresses this feeling directly in the Qur'an — in the verse I opened with. He speaks of previous nations, believers who were so shaken by hardship that even their Prophets asked, “When will the help of Allah come?”And Allah replies:“Indeed, the help of Allah is near.”But near from whose perspective? Not always ours.That's why in Surah Ibrahim, Allah reminds us:“Do not think that Allah is unaware of the actions of the oppressors. He is merely delaying them for a Day when eyes will stare in horror.”We are people of hope. We do not despair when times get tough. And in this brief khutbah, I want to share three points in history to remind us: we carry the torch of hope.1. The Trench in the Cold of MedinaYear 5 after Hijrah.The Battle of the Trench.After the losses at Uhud, Quraysh saw an opportunity to wipe out Islam. They gathered the largest army Arabia had ever seen: 10,000 strong. They were backed by Banu Ghatafan from the north, and allied with Jews from Khaybar, including Banu Qurayzah from within Medina.Rasulullah ﷺ had only 3,000 companions to defend the city. It was winter. The Sahaba were hungry, cold, and exhausted. Salman al-Farisi suggested digging a trench — a Persian military tactic. And they did. Day and night. Starving, shivering, digging non-stop.Then they hit a boulder they couldn't break. They called the Prophet ﷺ. He struck it once — a spark flew.“Allahu Akbar!” he cried.A second strike — another spark.“Allahu Akbar!”Third strike — the boulder shattered.“Allahu Akbar!”The companions asked: What was the takbir about?Rasulullah ﷺ said:* With the first spark, I saw Persia falling to the Muslims.* With the second, Rome.* With the third, Yemen.In the darkest moment, he gave them light. He gave them vision.He didn't just say “Have hope.”He gave them reasons to hope.And history proved him right. Islam triumphed. Not through numbers, but through divine help — a storm that forced the enemy to retreat. A month-long siege broken without a single full-scale battle.2. The Fall of Baghdad (1258 CE)Hulagu Khan — grandson of Genghis Khan — invaded Baghdad.Within days, 800,000 were slaughtered.Libraries burned. Books tossed into the Tigris until the river ran black with ink.Muslim writers thought it was the end of time.Non-Muslim historians wrote:“This is the day Islam died.”But Islam didn't die.Baghdad fell, but Cairo rose. So did Damascus. The Delhi Sultanate grew. And from these ashes, the Ottomans would eventually rise.Even Hulagu's cousin, Berke Khan, accepted Islam.Within a generation, the very dynasty that destroyed Baghdad became a Muslim dynasty.And amidst all of this — scholars kept working.* Imam al-Nawawi, who focused on preserving and teaching knowledge.* Ibn Taymiyyah, the scholar-warrior.* Ibn Ata'illah, who focused on tazkiyah and purifying hearts.* Al-‘Izz ibn ‘Abd al-Salam, who spoke truth to power and engaged with the rulers .Despite the devastation, they didn't stop. They carried on.3. The Fall of Apartheid (1994)From 1948 — the same year Israel was created — South Africa began enforcing apartheid. For decades, the people resisted: boycotts, protests, global pressure.In 1994, apartheid fell.The same Nelson Mandela who was once branded a terrorist by the West was now hailed as a hero — by the very same powers that had supported the apartheid regime.Let that sink in.The same powers that supported apartheid in South Africa are the ones supporting apartheid in Palestine today.And just like before — they can be defeated.Social Media: Double-Edged SwordToday, we have a powerful tool: social media. It's helped shift global opinion. It's brought awareness.But it's also draining us.We doomscroll.We see starvation, death, suffering — again and again.Two things happen:* We either fall into despair…* Or we become numb.We start thinking this is normal.So yes — use social media, but set a limit. 15 minutes. Half an hour. Post, share, amplify — and then get back to work. Real work.Know Your Role, Play Your PartNot all resistance looks the same.Imam al-Nawawi didn't fight with swords. He wrote books that still strengthen the Ummah today.Ibn Taymiyyah led at the frontlines.Ibn Ata'illah focused on hearts.Al-‘Izz ibn ‘Abd al-Salam engaged with the rulers.Some of us are better behind the scenes. Some are activists, some are scholars, some are thinkers, some are organisers. Some are better on the mic, others behind a pen.Don't judge someone's contribution just because it's not the same as yours. We need all hands on deck.“Allah will not ask you about what you couldn't do — but He will ask what you did with what you could.”May Allah give victory to the oppressed.May He feed the hungry, clothe the exposed, and strengthen the weak.May He unite our ranks and guide our efforts.May He grant us clarity, discipline, and sincere hearts in service of this Ummah.

Did you ever wonder how the Prophet ﷺ could say a few words that contain enough wisdom to drive forward entire nations and civilisations? It had to be that way. He's the last Prophet sent to mankind, so his teachings needed to echo until the end of time. To get a taste of this blessing in his ﷺ speech, study Jawami‘ al-Akhbar - a collection of 99 short hadith, compiled by the great scholar Sheikh ‘Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa‘di رحمه الله. Every hadith shows the unique gift Allah gave our Prophet ﷺ: words few in number, but vast in meaning. In this first part, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how these concise hadith reach nearly every part of your religion. You'll hear reminders about purifying your intention, protecting your worship from showing off, staying on your fitrah, and guarding your heart from hypocrisy. You'll see how these hadith pull you back to gratitude, honesty, good manners, and the unity that holds the Ummah together. It's not just about memorising short phrases. It's about letting these words shape how you pray, learn, speak, and deal with people, so that when you stand before Allah, you've done things right. If you want to study the Prophet's ﷺ speech the way it deserves, start here. May Allah make these words a light for you in this life and the next.

You think your Iman is safe… that you'll die with it intact, no matter what. But watch how quickly it gets chipped away when doubts come dressed as trends, debates, or posts that sound clever — until your heart's spinning at night, wondering what's true. Your Aqeedah isn't just a label. It's your shield when the world keeps pushing you to blur the lines. And a shield only works if you know what you're holding. Manzoomah Al-Ahsaai isn't just an old poem for scholars to memorise — it's a lifeline. A clear, powerful map of the beliefs every Muslim needs to anchor their heart. In this 5-hour deep dive, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks each line with proofs from the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the way of the Salaf. You'll see why Tawheed, Qadr, the grave, the scales, and the Day you see Allah — none of it is just theory. It's what keeps your Iman steady when everyone's telling you to loosen your grip. You've got 168 hours for the world's noise this week. Take just five to strengthen what matters more than anything else. Study the kind of Aqeedah that lets you sleep at night when the doubts hit, the debates rage, and your soul whispers: “Where do I stand?” May Allah keep our creed pure and our hearts firm. Watch till the end. Share it with someone who's searching for solid ground right now. And keep building your Aqeedah like the Salaf did — step by step, truth by truth.

Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn"Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.” It is with great sadness that Muhammad Jalal's wife passed away on Wednesday. She had been courageously living with cancer for over three years. She was a soul who remained obedient to her Lord to the very end and never wavered in her iman and goodness. May Allah open the doors of mercy for her and leave her good deeds and service to the ummah as sadaqah jariah for her.يٰۤاَيَّتُهَا النَّفۡسُ الۡمُطۡمَٮِٕنَّةُارۡجِعِىۡۤ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرۡضِيَّةً ‏Allah will say to the righteous,˺ “O tranquil soul!,Return to your Lord, well pleased ˹with Him˺ and well pleasing ˹to Him˺. The Prophet (saw) said:“The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.”Farhat lived this truth. May every act of kindness and dedication to our ummah she performed count as sadaqah jāriyah for her. We ask Allah (SWT) to envelop her in mercy, to forgive her sins, to make her grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and to reunite her with her loved ones in Jannat al-Firdaws, the highest level of Paradise. "Allahumma ighfir laha, warhamha, wa 'afiha, wa'fu 'anha.""O Allah, forgive her, have mercy on her, grant her peace, and pardon her."
