The phrase "die before you die" is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad as a famous Hadith (saying); and Muhammad Rumi, 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and Sufi mystic also coined the phrase. Together, with Rev. John, Let's explore what this means in light of our theme this month.

 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, and welcome to another edition of the One Ummah News Hour—where truth is our headline and the Ummah is our focus.Tonight, four major stories shaping the lives of Muslims worldwide—from the mountains of the Hindu Kush to the heart of Africa. I'm your brother Zayd.We'll uncover the facts mainstream outlets overlook, holding tight to our Islamic lens of justice and truth. Let's begin.

Upholding the Rights and Honor of the Companions – Following the Way of the Sahabah in Islam | Tarbiyah Islamiyah 01-06 | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this session of Tarbiyah Islamiyah 01-06, Shaykh Ibrahim Zidan explores one of the central themes of Islamic creed and education — the rights of the Companions (Sahabah) and the obligation to love, respect, and defend them. These noble individuals were chosen by Allah to accompany the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and to transmit his message to later generations.Allah has explicitly praised the Sahabah in the Qur'an:“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.”(Surah Al-Fath 48:29 – quran.com/48/29)Loving the companions and following their understanding of the religion is an integral part of faith. Speaking negatively about them contradicts the direction of the Qur'an, where Allah commands believers never to criticize a people whom He has praised.“And the first forerunners [in faith] among the Muhajirun and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct – Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.”(Surah At-Tawbah 9:100 – quran.com/9/100)This verse establishes that following the Sahabah's understanding is not optional but fundamental. Any attempt to diminish their standing ultimately weakens the foundation through which Islam reached us — the Qur'an and Sunnah, transmitted through their trustworthy efforts.All companions are deemed just and trustworthy (ʿudūl). The Prophet ﷺ said:“Do not revile my companions, for if one of you were to spend gold equal to Uhud in charity, it would not equal a handful of what they gave, or even half of it.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3673 – sunnah.com/bukhari:3673)This hadith highlights their unmatched rank and contribution. The generation that carried and preserved Islam deserves immense respect. Thus, believers must avoid delving into historical disputes or criticizing their actions.The Prophet ﷺ forewarned that the ummah would experience divisions and gave clear guidance to remain upon his path and that of the rightly guided caliphs:“I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Caliphs after me. Hold fast to it with your molar teeth.”(Sunan Abi Dawood 4607 – sunnah.com/abudawud:4607)The way to salvation and unity is by adhering to Revelation through their understanding. This ensures protection from deviation and sectarianism.Love and Loyalty: Loving the companions is part of loving the Prophet ﷺ. Hating or insulting them endangers one's faith.Trust in Transmission: The Companions are reliable transmitters of the Qur'an and Sunnah; their righteousness is confirmed by Allah.Avoid Contention: Refrain from discussing past disputes among them.Follow Their Faith: Success lies in following the Qur'an and Sunnah according to their interpretation.Conclusion: The companions (Sahabah) are the spiritual foundation of this ummah. Upholding their honor safeguards our connection to the authentic teachings of Islam. As the Prophet ﷺ guided, steadfastness upon his Sunnah and the way of his Companions ensures unity, purity of faith, and salvation.

The Six Types of Revelation and Early Stages of Prophethood | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this article, we explore the sixth lecture from Seerah – Semester 1 by Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem, where he explains how revelation began for our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the early years of his secret da'wah. The journey of revelation marks the foundation of Islam and provides profound lessons about patience, wisdom, and divine connection.The scholars classified divine revelation (Wahy) into six distinct types experienced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:Revelation began with true dreams, which would unfold exactly as the Prophet ﷺ had seen them. This occurred six months before the first revelation in the Cave of Ḥirā'. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The truthful dream of a believer is one forty-sixth part of Prophethood.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 6989 – sunnah.com/bukhari:6989)Some scholars explain this fraction based on the Prophet's ﷺ 23 years of prophethood — six months being one forty-sixth of that duration.At times, Angel Jibrīl (Gabriel), peace be upon him, appeared as a man and spoke directly to the Prophet ﷺ. The famous hadith of Jibrīl illustrates this:“A man came to us, dressed in white clothes, with black hair... and asked the Prophet about Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.”(Sahih Muslim 8 – sunnah.com/muslim:8)Jibrīl would sometimes inspire the Prophet's heart without appearing. The Prophet ﷺ said:“The Holy Spirit has inspired me that no soul will die until it has received all its provision.”(Sunan Ibn Majah 2144 – sunnah.com/ibnmajah:2144)This was the hardest form. The Prophet ﷺ would receive the revelation with a sound resembling that of ringing bells, and it would cause physical strain. His companions noticed sweat on his forehead even on cold days during this intense form of revelation.The Prophet ﷺ saw Angel Jibrīl in his true form twice, with 600 wings, an image beyond human comprehension:Narrated `Abdullah: Regarding the Verses: 'And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey the Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he Gabriel) conveyed (that to Muhammad...' (53.9-10) Ibn Mas`ud narrated to us that the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen Gabriel with six hundred wings.Sahih al-Bukhari 4856https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4856“He has been taught by one mighty in power, Dhu Mirrah (with mighty wings)...”(Surah An-Najm 53:5-6 – quran.com/53/5-6)The final and greatest level was when Allah directly revealed to His Messenger ﷺ without any intermediary during the Isra' wa al-Mi‘raj (Night Journey). It was during this encounter that the commandment of five daily prayers was made obligatory.“Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed.”(Surah An-Najm 53:10 – quran.com/53/10)After the first revelation, Allah commanded His Messenger ﷺ:“Arise and warn.”(Surah Al-Muddaththir 74:2 – quran.com/74/2)The Prophet ﷺ began calling those closest to him in secret. The first to accept Islam included Khadijah (RA), Abu Bakr (RA), Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), and his freed slave Zayd ibn Harithah (RA). For three years, Islam spread quietly, and around 130 men and women embraced the faith privately.During this period, Muslims prayed two units (rak‘ahs) connecting with Allah spiritually, before the five daily prayers were made obligatory in the heavens.The Prophet ﷺ's mission emphasized faith, purification of the heart, and righteous character — all essential foundations for the believers even before formal laws were revealed.Key Lesson: Revelation began gradually, preparing the Prophet ﷺ and his followers spiritually and emotionally for the immense mission ahead. The early secret da'wah teaches us that change begins with inner purification and close, sincere companionship for the sake of Allah.

HADITH 01-06: The Mercy and Character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In this lecture from Hadith Semester 1 by Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Salah, we explore the profound mercy and noble character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as taught through authentic Hadith and Qur'anic verses.Allah sent Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a mercy to all humanity. The Qur'an states:“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], but as a mercy to the worlds.”(Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107, quran.com/21/107)This mercy encompassed the weak and strong, friend and foe, rich and poor, even extending to animals and the environment. The Prophet's ﷺ mercy was a reflection of Allah's infinite compassion.Allah describes the Prophet's character as exemplary:“And indeed, you are of a great moral character.”(Surah Al-Qalam 68:4, quran.com/68/4)His life models humility, patience, kindness, and forgiveness. For example, when a child urinated on him, he calmly cleaned himself without anger, showing compassion in every circumstance.The Prophet's mercy extended to enemies as well, exemplified in the story of Thumāmah ibn Uthāl, who embraced Islam after witnessing the Muslims' kindness and tranquility.Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has divided mercy into one hundred parts; and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent down to earth one part. Through this one part creatures deal with one another with compassion, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof over its young lest it should hurt it". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has one hundred mercies, out of which He has sent down only one for jinn, mankind, animals and insects, through which they love one another and have compassion for one another; and through it, wild animals care for their young. Allah has retained ninety-nine mercies to deal kindly with His slaves on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].Another narration in Muslim is reported: by Salman Al-Farisi: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah has hundred mercies, out of which one mercy is used by his creation for mutual love and affection. Ninety-nine mercies are kept for the Day of Resurrection."Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah created one hundred units of mercy on the Day He created the heavens and the earth. Each one of them can contain all that is between the heaven and the earth. Of them, he put one on earth, through which a mother has compassion for her children and animals and birds have compassion for one another. On the Day of Resurrection, He will perfect and complete His Mercy". (That is He will use all the hundred units of mercy for his slaves on that Day).Riyad as-Salihin 420https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:420Islam teaches that acts of leadership must lead with compassion and reconciliation rather than dominance.ConclusionThe Hadith and Qur'an together portray the Prophet whose mercy and character are central to his message. His compassion teaches us to be merciful, forgiving, and patient, embodying the beautiful ethics of Islam.

Understanding the Correct Creed: Insights from Shaykh Ahmad Al-Romh | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at ZAD AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,In the pursuit of authentic Islamic knowledge, ZAD Academy remains a beacon for students around the world, combining classical scholarship with modern education. This reflection from Shaykh Ahmad Al-Romh's lecture on Aqeedah (Creed) explores what it means to hold the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama‘ah, the people of the Sunnah and the community.The lecture begins by encouraging believers to seek beneficial knowledge that nurtures both faith and intellect. Knowledge in Islam is not merely theoretical; it brings spiritual growth, discipline, and clarity. ZAD Academy promotes this principle, integrating technology and faith-based learning to equip students with the tools to spread ‘Ilm Shar‘i (religious knowledge).A cornerstone of the Islamic creed is the full submission to Allah's command and the Messenger's guidance. Allah says:“O you who believe! Enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.”(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:208, quran.com/2/208)Submission means that a believer accepts divine revelation without hesitation or doubt, recognizing that guidance comes only from Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. True faith manifests through obedience, not preference or personal interpretation.This principle is reaffirmed in another verse:“It is not for a believing man or woman—when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has truly gone far astray.”(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:36, quran.com/33/36)True believers are those who submit wholeheartedly to the judgment of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Allah says:“But no! By your Lord, they will never believe until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in their disputes, and find within themselves no discomfort about your decision, and submit in full submission.”(Surah An-Nisa 4:65, quran.com/4/65)Faith requires both internal conviction and external submission to what Allah and His Messenger have ordained.The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against excessive praise and exaggeration, saying:“Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary. I am only a servant, so call me the servant of Allah and His Messenger.”(Sahih al-Bukhari 3445, sunnah.com/bukhari:3445)Islam calls for balance and humility in worship. It rejects extremes while focusing on following the Prophet ﷺ sincerely in both action and belief.The correct creed is founded on faith, submission, and glorification of Allah. It is a natural disposition that removes doubt and strengthens conviction. Through platforms like ZAD Academy, students learn to embody these values, ensuring that knowledge leads to action, faith, and steadfastness upon the truth.References:Qur'an: 2:208, 33:36, 4:65Hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 3445

AsSalaam Alkuim, lets get into it. Say less.+6

For sixteen months, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions prayed toward Jerusalem. Then, in the middle of Rajab, everything changed. But what happened when the revelation came down during Asr prayer? And what about those companions praying miles away in Masjid Quba who had no idea the Qibla had just shifted? In this episode of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan takes us through one of the most pivotal moments in Islamic history: the day the Muslim Ummah turned toward the Kaaba.  Discover the dramatic scene of companions mid-prayer, the single messenger who changed everything, and the Jews of Medina who called the Muslims "dimwitted" for this divine command. But that's not all. Why did the Prophet ﷺ long to face the Kaaba while still honouring Jerusalem?  What hidden fiqh rulings emerged from this single event? And how does the fasting of Ashura connect to this momentous occasion? The stage is now set for the greatest battle in Islamic history: a battle where Allah Himself promised forgiveness to its participants. Are you ready to witness what happens next?

Is the Qur'an truly the word of God, or does it reflect the creative imagination of Prophet Muhammad (s)? How do we understand revelation in a world governed by reason and science? In this episode of Thinking Islam, we grapple with these fundamental questions with Dr Abdolkarim Soroush, one of the most influential voices in contemporary Islamic intellectual reform.This wide-ranging conversation explores Dr Soroush's groundbreaking theory of the expansion and contraction of religious knowledge, his views on revelation and prophetic experience, and the controversial notion that the Qur'an might be better understood as "Kalam Muhammad" rather than literal divine speech. From essentials and accidentals of the Qur'an to the paradoxical nature of Prophetic life, we examine how prophetic experience can be understood in our post-prophetic age.Dr Soroush is a distinguished philosopher of religion and a leading voice in Islamic intellectual reform. A Visiting Scholar at the University of Maryland and former Professor at the University of Tehran, he has also held visiting positions at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale Universities. Dr Soroush is renowned for his influential work "The Expansion of Prophetic Experience" and his contributions to contemporary Islamic thought and hermeneutics.Audio Chapters:0:00 – Highlights1:34 – Understanding the Phenomena of Revelation4:40 – Expansion & Contraction of Islamic Interpretation10:42 – Expectations from Religion13:12 – Between Maximalization & Infallibility17:22 – Is Revelation like Poetry or a Dream?24:49 – Revelation as Creative Imagination28:32 – Kalam e Muhammad or Kalamullah35:58 – God is Also Sad When You're Sad39:17 – The Speech of God is Metaphorical47:18 – Essentials and Accidentals of the Qur'an49:17 – Prophetic Experience & Its Expansion53:15 – Prophetic Paradox56:36 – Finality of Prophethood59:00 – Imamate & Finality1:03:45 – Thinking Islam Question

Hud is the 11th chapter of the Quran and has 123 verses. It relates in part to the prophet Hud. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation, it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina.

As mothers, our first instinct when our child cries or melts down is to fix the problem — to soothe, distract, or offer quick solutions. But what if that's not what our children really need?In this episode of Jannah Beneath Her Feet, we explore a profound yet simple parenting shift: becoming a container for your child's emotions. Drawing from the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and modern psychology, we'll look at why children don't actually need us to “solve” their problems, but rather to hold space for the big emotions they can't yet carry alone.You'll learn:Why dismissing or rushing to fix a problem leaves your child feeling unseenHow the Prophet ﷺ comforted young Abu Umair when his pet sparrow died — a timeless example of emotional presenceThe importance of naming and validating your child's feelings before moving to solutionsHow your own emotional habits mirror into your parenting — and why self-work is key to raising emotionally intelligent childrenAnd because tarbiyah always starts with the mother, I also share how we dive deep into these topics inside the Holistic Tarbiyah Academy — my four-month mentorship program designed to help Muslim mothers heal, regulate, and thrive in their motherhood while laying strong Islamic foundations for their children.

We are joined by eminent guest Debunking_Izlam to explore how the Prophet Muhammad enshrined pedophilia (sexual abuse of minors) in the Koran and made it a mainstay of Islamic spiritual practice. This episode also refutes the ludicrous lies of Muslim fanatics that the Sikh Gurus themselves were pedophiles when in reality they were betrothed to spouses their own age. An insightful and incisive episodes that destroys Islamic lies and forearms Sikhs to defend themselves against Dawah and the spiritually unclean Muslim religion.

DEBATE: Is the Prophet Muhammad in the Bible? (The Orthodox Muslim vs. Dale Glover)

Tune in to this episode of School of Divine Mysteries with Aba Al-Sadiq (fhip) and his disciple Tiffany, as they uncover why the Prophet Muhammad say “the world is a prison for the believer”? What does it really mean to live in a world that feels more like a cage than a paradise? From ancient philosophers to the prophets of the Abrahamic faiths, from Hindu and Buddhist teachings to hidden Gnostic gospels, again and again humanity has described this life as a trap. In this episode, we explore why so many traditions, East and West, have warned that our reality is not what it seems… and what it means for those who seek freedom beyond it.

Fourteen centuries of enslavement, from the Prophet Muhammad's day to modern Mauritania. Justin Marozzi's fascinating book "Captives and Companions"  has as its subject the complex history of slavery across the Islamic world, challenging simplistic narratives and revealing uncomfortable truths about power, race, and religion.Our conversation touches on how Islam didn't invent slavery but incorporated existing practices while encouraging manumission. We talk about the huge diversity of slavery - from the devastating Zanj Rebellion when East African slaves revolted in Iraq, to the paradoxical power of Mamluk slave-soldiers who became sultans. I particularly liked how Justin managed to balance the brilliance and the cruelty of the concubines at the court in Baghdad at the height of its power. We also spent a lot of time discussing eunuchs. What purpose they served, the way Islam got round the prohibition on the practice and how and why the use of eunuchs lasted so long.The racial side of things was a surprise to me. Primary sources from Islam's greatest medieval intellectuals expose deeply racist attitudes toward black Africans, while white Circassian slaves commanded premium prices. And the Barbary Corsairs provided another surprise, with a surprising number of Europeans who "turned Turk" to join Muslim pirates enslaving fellow Christians across the Mediterranean.When we reach abolition, Marozzi talked about how external Western pressure, not internal Islamic reform, primarily drove formal emancipation. And his interviews with people in Mali and Mauritania document hereditary slavery continuing today, with miserable stories of those fighting for freedom in the 21st century.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

Help us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipHow can we reconcile seeking quicker reform with long-term ideals? Islam, demonstrated by Prophet Muhammad's life, is revolutionary, yet the challenge is embodying this approach in a world ruled by secular, often autocratic, neo-liberal systems. Dr Uthman Badar is a lecturer at Western Sydney University – he argues there is a path between compromise and idealism.
