In this heartfelt November 2025 Jumu‘ah talk, delivered in Urdu, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera reflects on the profound theme of “Love for Allah.” He explains that true love for the Creator is the foundation of faith and the source of inner tranquility, purpose, and moral strength. Drawing from Qur'anic verses and lessons from the pious predecessors, he reminds the audience that loving Allah is not merely an emotion but a spiritual state nurtured through conscious effort, sincerity, and a constant awareness of one's relationship with Him.

Basit Kareem Iqbal's new book The Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution (Fordham UP, 2025) uses ethnographic scenes from Jordan and Canada to contextualize the role of Muslim charities and community organizations that support displaced refugees from the Syrian catastrophe. Through these encounters, however, we learn not only of the limitations of secular humanitarian projects, but we are also privy to the deep theological enterprise of notions of trial and tribulation of those caught between mobility and immobility and various entangled temporalities. Iqbal and his interlocutors grapple with the asymmetrical realities of a Divine's mercy and compassion set against violence, horror, and death. It is at these junctures that we encounter an ethnography of theology, that is, how Qur'anic principles are fundamentally tested, negotiated, and stretched by everyday survivors, be they activists or humanitarian aid workers, as they forge a path ahead in the world of the living. The interpretations that arise from Iqbal's interlocutors, be they Salafi or Sufi oriented, challenges readers to contend with religious and theological sensibilities of a secular world of humanitarianism and international aid but also centers the voices of refugees. Iqbal's book is beautifully crafted. It models how one can write of such topics with care and intention without ever escaping or sensationalizing the horrors and evils faced by displaced peoples. This book will be of interest to those who work on Syria, anthropology of Islam, Islamic theology, international aid and humanitarianism and much more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Professor Kadivar surveys major models of revelation in Judaism and Christianity before proposing a distinctly Islamic alternative. He critiques six well-known non-propositional models and argues that Islam affirms a primarily propositional model grounded in the Qur'an and Sunnah — yet one that still differs significantly from classical Christian and Jewish formulations.

Dr Ibrahim examines the role of Maryam in the Qur'an and asks why, despite her exceptional status and extensive interactions with divine messengers, most exegetical traditions exclude women from prophethood. Through a careful intra-textual reading, she highlights inconsistencies in classical arguments and proposes paths for reducing gender bias in Muslim prophetology.

Dr Nazir Khan presents Ibn Taymiyya's comprehensive rethinking of prophetic evidence. Rather than relying solely on miracles, Ibn Taymiyya integrates moral integrity, rational coherence, and alignment with human nature into a broader epistemology of prophethood. The episode examines his critique of kalām theologians, his distinction between angelic and jinn-assisted feats, and his preference for Qur'anic terminology such as āyāt and barāhīn.

Dr Wahid Amin applies modern speech act theory to classical Shīʿī legal debates on divine commands. How do Qur'anic addresses to specific audiences apply to later generations? By engaging thinkers such as Mīrzā Qummī, Ākhund Khurāsānī, and Nāʾinī, he explores how divine speech maintains normative force across time and context.

Dr Asghari explores how the Qur'an pairs the Book (al-kitāb) with wisdom (ḥikma) as twin components of prophetic guidance. He shows how wisdom enables ethical interpretation, universal moral language, and interreligious dialogue — positioning prophetic wisdom as a bridge between divine revelation and human ethical reasoning.

Shaykh Arif re-examines key Qur'anic terms to propose that the Qur'an is not a pre-fixed text but an articulation of formless meanings (Umm al-Kitāb) unveiled in the moment. He distinguishes between God and the agent of revelation speaking within the Qur'an, offering a nuanced linguistic and theological model rooted in inter-Qur'anic analysis.

Friday Juma KhutbaNovember 14th, 2025- Emphasizes long-standing guidance to engage politically for community benefit, choosing the “lesser of two evils” since no party fully aligns with Islamic values.- The core standard is supporting candidates who uphold justice for all, especially minorities.- The first migration to Abyssinia illustrates prioritizing a just ruler, even if he is not Muslim.- As a minority, justice must remain the central value in socio-political involvement, regardless of a candidate's faith.- Ideally, Muslims hope for leaders who proudly maintain their Shi‘a identity- Discussing the recent victory of the New York City mayoral race, with Zohran Mamdani.- Mamdani faced opposition from MAGA supporters and anti-Palestinian groups but gained support from Democrats, left-leaning groups, and minorities for his stance on justice.- Support should go to anyone who stands for equality and justice for minorities, even if they are not Muslim.- Concerns about a candidate's personal lifestyle or family practices should be distinguished against the nature of the position being elected for.- Religious positions require imān and taqwa; secular political positions require fairness, justice, and administrative capability. These are two different roles, for different people, and should not be mixed together- In a liberal democracy, support must be selective and purpose-driven, focusing on a candidate's ability to deliver justice, not their lifestyle.- The Qur'anic message stresses that justice must be established and enforced for society to function.- A civil society depends on choosing leaders committed to upholding justice for all.- Engagement with broader society includes dialogue and participation in multicultural initiatives.- Local programs such as school visits, teacher training, police recruit orientations, homelessness initiatives, and food banks help educate the community about Islam.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

In this episode of Living Theology, we explore one of the most crucial questions in the Christian–Muslim dialogue:Has God's Word been preserved — and can we trust it?Through archaeology, manuscript evidence, and historical scholarship, we examine the reliability of the Bible and the claims of the Qur'an.From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the early New Testament papyri, the evidence overwhelmingly affirms that the Bible has been faithfully transmitted — its message unchanged for thousands of years.This episode contrasts the incarnational revelation of Scripture with the mechanical dictation of the Qur'an, revealing how God speaks not only in words but through history, flesh, and grace.#LivingTheology #ChristianApologetics #ReliabilityOfScripture #BibleAndQuran #FaithAndReason #BiblicalTruth #TheologyPodcast #DefendingTheFaith #ChristianityAndIslam #BibleManuscripts #HistoricalEvidence #ChristianPodcast #ApologeticsAndFaith #WordOfGod #ScriptureAndRevelation #TheologyOfScripture #GospelTruth #BibleHistory #ChristianTheology #GodsWordEndures

Human beings have always prided themselves on the advantage gained from possessing knowledge that others lack. We boast of being smarter, more informed, more enlightened—as if we were the elite guardians of some secret insight reserved for our sect, our institution, or our circle. Whether the advantage lies in religious doctrine, education, status, political ideology, or modern technology, it always devolves into the same pattern: insiders against outsiders, the few who “know” against the many who do not.From ancient cults, esoteric associations, and manufactured religions (steeped in symbols wrongly appropriated from sacred texts) to modern marketing campaigns promising the “secret to success,” humanity's obsession with exclusive knowledge endures. Yet all of it is vanity—corruption and folly dressed as wisdom. Whether through ritual, ideology, or playground-style cliques, every claim to possess hidden knowledge and to exercise control over others is sublime vanity, doomed to folly.There is only one source of knowledge—the Father of all—and he alone is the fountain of might, power, and strength. Scripture repeats this warning at every turn, and when human beings ignore it, all things collapse in ruin. The arrogant, trusting in themselves, gleefully amplify human chaos in opposition to him, emboldened by misguided self-confidence.Indeed, their knowledge springs from self-importance, and their strength from oppression. In their false eschaton, the work of men's hands turns to dust, even as the God of Abraham remains—ever present, all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful. Moreover, as Matthew wrote, this God stands as the enemy of those among them who invoke his name, “Lord, Lord.”But Yahweh, our Elohim, is always in control despite the schemes of Baal's followers who deceive the devout who have fallen for the institutions he destroys.“For they plan, and God plans; and God is the best of planners.”وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَwa-makarū wa-makara llāhu, wa-llāhu khayru l-mākirīn(Qurʾan, Surat Āl ʿImrān سورة آل عمران “The Family of Imran” 3:54)Every time the human being seizes power or claims insight as his own, the result is the same: pride, decay, and judgment. Yet each collapse becomes Elohim's opportunity to remind us of his immutable sovereignty. He alone commands and restores. As it is written by Paul's right hand:“God is not mocked.” (Galatians 6:7)His wisdom is not ours to possess, let alone to control or co-opt. His dominion is written into the fabric of creation itself. The heavens do not father the earth; both submit to the patriarchy of the one God of Abraham, the Master of all things.This is the reality encoded in Scriptural grammar and function and fulfilled in the obedience of Jesus. It is the recognition that knowledge and strength proceed only from God's command, which has the power to heal even Israel.This week, I discuss Luke 8:46.“ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Ἥψατό μού τις, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἔγνων (י-ד-ע) δύναμιν (ח-י-ל) ἐξεληλυθυῖαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.”“But Jesus said, ‘Someone did touch me, for I was aware [ἔγνων (egnon) / י־ד־ע (yod–dalet–ʿayin)] that power [δύναμιν (dynamin) / ח־י־ל (ḥet–yod–lamed)] had gone out of me.'”(Luke 8:46)γινώσκω (ginosko) / י-ד-ע (yod–dalet–ʿayin) / ع-ر-ف (ʿayn–rāʾ–fāʾ)In its scriptural itinerary, יָדַע (yadaʿ) functions as relational recognition rooted in revelation and obedience. Gnostics invert this by treating knowledge as an object of possession: a secret commodity that grants status or liberation to a spiritual elite.The Itinerary of Knowledge“Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew [וַיֵּדְעוּ (wayyedaʿu)] that they were naked.” (Genesis 3:7)When Adam and Eve transgress the divine command, their eyes are “opened,” and י-ד-ע (yod–dalet–ʿayin) marks the moment of realization. They do not gain divine insight; they recognize their separation and vulnerability.“You shall know [וִידַעְתֶּם (widaʿtem)] that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.” (Exodus 6:7)In Egypt, Yahweh assured deliverance. Israel will know him as the mighty one who was victorious against the elite rulers who burdened his people. Knowledge comes through divine encounter (in this case, remembrance at the opportune time) and obedience, not human speculation.“Then they shall know [וְיָדְעוּ (weyadeʿu)] that I am Yahweh.” (Ezekiel 6:7)The same Yahweh declares judgment upon Israel for their idolatry. Weyadeʿu means that through destruction and exile—the opportune time—through divine encounter, the people will come to recognize his immutable sovereignty.“The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge [דַּעַת (daʿat)].” (Proverbs 1:7)Wisdom begins not in self-referential discovery but in submission. Daʿat, י-ד-ע (yod–dalet–ʿayin), denotes divine instruction. It is submission to God's ordering of creation that begins with fear, that is, reverent submission to his command.“But Jesus said, ‘Someone did touch me, for I was aware [ἔγνων (egnon)] that power had gone out of me.'” (Luke 8:46)When the woman touches Jesus' garment, ἔγνων (egnon) expresses not psychological awareness but recognition of divine power at work. In Genesis 3:7, Adam and Eve know [wayyedaʿu] only after breaking the divine command. What they perceive is separation, not illumination. In Exodus 6:7, Israel knows [widaʿtem] Yahweh because at the opportune time, they remember his act of deliverance; the exiles know [weyadeʿu] Yahweh through judgment. In every case, knowledge is not a self-referential human discovery but an encounter with God's judgment. Even in Proverbs 1:7, daʿat signifies not human moral or ethical insight but awareness of divine instruction grounded in reverent fear.When Jesus knows that power has gone out from him (Luke 8:46), the same dynamic unfolds: divine initiative, human encounter, recognition, and restoration. The “knowing” is God-referential. It is an acknowledgment of divine operation rather than an act of introspection.This same itinerary and literary pattern continues in the Qurʾan, where the Arabic triliteral root ع-ر-ف (ʿayn–rāʾ–fāʾ) appears frequently. Its core function is to know, recognize, acknowledge, or make known. It parallels the Hebrew י-ד-ע (yod–dalet–ʿayin) and the Greek γινώσκω (ginosko) in expressing knowledge as submission to God rather than human possession.“And say, ‘All praise be to God! He will show you his signs, and you will recognize them [فَتَعْرِفُونَهَا (fa-taʿrifūnahā)]. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.'” (Qurʾan, Surat al-Naml سورة النمل “The Ant” 27:93)The Prophet is commanded to proclaim divine praise. God will reveal his آيَات (āyāt, “signs”), and humans will recognize them. تَعْرِفُونَهَا

In this episode of Living Theology, we confront one of the greatest divides between Christianity and Islam — the question of the cross.The Qur'an declares that Jesus was not crucified, that it only appeared so.The Bible, history, and reason declare otherwise.Through Scripture, ancient testimony, and historical evidence from Roman, Jewish, and secular sources, we explore why the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested events in antiquity — and why it is essential to salvation itself.Discover how the cross reveals the justice, mercy, and love of God — not as defeat, but as divine victory.The cross is not a myth. It is the moment when eternity touched time, and grace rewrote human destiny.#LivingTheology #TheCrossAndTheCrescent #ChristianApologetics #HistoricalJesus #FaithAndReason #Crucifixion #Resurrection #BibleTruth #TheologyPodcast #DefendingTheFaith #ChristianityAndIslam #ChristCrucified #JesusIsLord #GospelTruth #BiblicalEvidence #HistoryOfChristianity #ChristianPodcast #Salvation #TheologyOfTheCross #JesusDiedAndRose #Christology #ChristianFaith #CrossAndResurrection

Ahmed Joktan had memorized the Qur'an by heart. Yet through an extraordinary succession of dreams and divine appointments, he became a follower of Jesus. When he shared his faith with a fellow Saudi, the religious police burst in and immediately came and knocked thirteen teeth out of his mouth. Imprisonment, torture, attempts on his life, all meant he had to flee from the land of his birth. The story is simply wild, and his current reach into the Muslim world through social media channels is yielding extraordinary and beautiful results.

The prophecy of Ishmael's twelve princes was more than a family promise—it was a foreshadowing of world history. As Islam rises as the fastest-growing religion and interfaith unity becomes a global agenda, we're watching the stage being set for something far greater. In this episode, we explore how the rise of Islam intersects with biblical prophecy, Qur'anic teachings, and the signs of the end times. From the Vatican's push for religious cooperation under the Pope's leadership to the unprecedented blending of beliefs across nations, could this be the groundwork for the one-world religion foretold in Revelation? Tune in as we uncover how ancient prophecy, Islamic eschatology, and modern headlines collide in a story few are willing to tell—but everyone needs to hear.---------------------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor - book an appointment:⁠https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointments⁠Amy's online Bible studies:⁠https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright?e9s=src_v1_cmd⁠

For more than 1,400 years, one question has divided the world's two largest faiths: Did Jesus Christ truly die on the cross?Video Version available immediately upon release at 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT athttps://youtu.be/evsqZ8Q_0s0In this groundbreaking episode of The Last Christian Radio Show, hosts JD Williams and David Paxton take you on a deeply respectful, fact-based journey through Scripture, science, and history to uncover the truth behind one of the most important claims ever made. That Jesus, peace be upon Him, was not crucified, but that it only appeared so.Drawing from the Qur'an, the Bible, medical science, archaeology, and eyewitness history, this powerful episode carefully examines every aspect of the question with sincerity and reverence. Not to attack, but to enlighten.Viewers from the Islamic faith are invited to explore evidence that transcends culture and tradition:• The historical records of Roman executioners, Jewish witnesses, and early Christian scribes, all agreeing that Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate.• The medical details of crucifixion proving beyond doubt that the man on the cross died from asphyxiation and cardiac rupture — fulfilling exact prophecies written centuries earlier.• The forensic evidence of the burial cloth, revealing physical wounds matching biblical descriptions, and a mysterious burst of radiant energy that no scientist has ever explained.• The undeniable resurrection appearances. Eyewitness accounts by more than 500 people, recorded not as myth, but as testimony sealed with their own lives.With humility and deep respect for Muslim viewers, JD and David open the Scriptures alongside the Qur'an. Not to argue, but to ask a simple question: If God is truth, can He contradict Himself?This episode is not a debate, it is an invitation. An invitation to search the evidence honestly. To compare revelation with history. To look at the cross not as a symbol of shame, but as the moment when divine mercy met human sin.You'll hear why the Bible's account of Jesus' death and resurrection is not only historically verified, but prophetically consistent from Genesis to Revelation. And how the Qur'an's claim of substitution, written six centuries later, cannot withstand the test of time, witness, or truth.This program speaks to all who love Jesus. Christian and Muslim alike and who sincerely seek to know the truth about His life, death, and destiny. Because if Jesus truly died and rose again, then His words, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” must be taken seriously by every person on earth.Come with an open heart. Search without fear.The evidence will speak for itself.And the truth, as Jesus promised, will set you free.For more information about our International Ministry.

In today's episode,  discover why the truly famous are not the ones with followers — but the ones whose quiet goodness is remembered by God. A story about sincerity, peace, and the power of unseen deeds. What if the people we've never heard of… turn out to be the most celebrated souls in existence? What if the woman who smiled at strangers, the old man who fed birds every morning, or the nurse who whispered prayers between heartbeats — are honored by the universe in ways we can't yet imagine? Every faith has its mystery about life after death. In Islam, there's a quiet idea: the people who go unseen here… are the ones most known there. We live in the age of eyes. Every moment can be posted, liked, shared, monetized. But ancient wisdom, especially in Islam teaches that the best actions are the ones that no one sees but God. The Qur'an describes a kind of human being whose goodness is invisible: those who "give in secret and in public, by night and by day." Their reward? It says, "They will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve." (Qur'an 2:274) Maybe real influence isn't about reach. Maybe it's about intention. Islam teaches that even the smallest act, done with sincerity, is seen — perfectly, completely. "Not a leaf falls except that He knows it." (Qur'an 6:59) Still, it's hard. We're wired to want recognition, proof that what we do matters. But maybe the truest fame is internal,  the peace of knowing you did good when no one was watching. In Islamic thought, there's a hidden rank called the unknown believer — someone whose name never leaves their hometown, but whose compassion shakes the heavens. The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah loves the humble, content servant who is not noticed." Think about that. Loved not for talent. Not for wealth. But for humility. It's a strange freedom, to do good without needing credit. To trust that every whisper of kindness is heard by something bigger than applause. On Earth, fame is noise. In the afterlife,  it is light. The Holy Qur'an says, "Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it." (Qur'an 99:7) That line, even if you don't believe in scripture, feels like universal justice. Every small act counts. Nothing disappears. Maybe heaven, in any language, is simply the place where every unnoticed kindness finally shines. The skeptics say,  But what if that's not true? What if good deeds vanish? What if no one, divine or human ever sees them? That's the fear that drives our obsession with visibility. Yet even skeptics admit: when you act with love, something changes,  in you, and around you. The unseen matters, whether or not you name it God. Islam calls that niyyah or intention. It's the invisible force that turns ordinary actions into sacred ones. The Islamic view of the afterlife isn't only about judgment, it's about recognition. A belief that no effort of goodness is lost. That the quiet nurse, the anonymous donor, the neighbor who picked up litter from the street each one is remembered in a realm beyond human memory. "Whoever brings a good deed will receive ten like it." (Qur'an 6:160) Imagine that. Your smallest kindness multiplied eternally. Picture a different kind of award ceremony. No stage spotlights. No trophies. Only a beautiful etherial light, peace, and presence. And the voice that created you says, "I saw what you did when no one else did." That's the Islamic version of fame,not followers, but divine acknowledgement. Not trending… but transcending. Maybe heaven isn't far away. Maybe it begins the moment you do good,  quietly. So if you ever feel invisible, remember this: Your goodness still leaves fingerprints on eternity. You don't have to believe in Islam to understand the beauty of being seen for who you really are, not the image, but the intention. The Qur'an calls that sincerity: ikhlāṣ. And the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught that even a smile is charity. You don't have to belong to any religion to feel the truth of that. The heart knows what's real. And every quiet act of compassion is noticed by something far greater than ourselves. So smile. Do good quietly. Let the world forget, and let heaven remember. To be famous in the afterlife, you only have to be human on Earth. If this episode moved you, share it with one person who feels unseen. Because maybe… they already shine brighter than they know.   Thank you for tuning in. Peace and love always, Amber xoxo

How should one go about translating a text that is untranslatable? Especially when the text is believed to be the living word of God? Muslims have pondered this dilemma for more than a millennium, because a standard doctrine of Islam is the ‘inimitability of the Quran' (i‘jaz al-Qur'an). This principle was often taken to imply the untranslatability of the Quran. But even in the first centuries of Islam, the conversion on non-Arabs created the practical need for translation. This episode explores the different solutions Muslims found, whether through interlinear summaries and tafsir commentaries in premodern times or via the proliferation of full-blown translations in the modern age of print—and nationalism. From multilingual manuscripts to state-sanctioned translations, we trace the different ways in which the Quran has been read over the centuries. Nile Green talks to M. Brett Wilson, author of Translating the Qur'an in an Age of Nationalism: Print Culture and Modern Islam in Turkey (Oxford University Press, 2014).

In this episode, we asked a question that every believer should reflect on:What are we really doing with the Qur'an? For many of us, the Qur'an has become something we recite beautifully — but not something we live by. We've turned it into sound, not guidance. A decoration on our shelves, not direction for our hearts. We spoke about how to return to the true purpose of the revelation — learning to extract guidance from every verse, to make every letter speak to us personally, and to see the Qur'an as a living reminder that shapes how we think, act, and respond to life. Because the Qur'an wasn't sent to be admired — it was sent to be applied, to transform us, and to lead us back to Allah.Human Development Fund (HDF) is a global humanitarian organization working to uplift underserved communities through programs in clean water, healthcare, orphan care, education, food security, and livelihood development.

In this talk, Professor Oliver Leaman cautions against overstating rationalism's place in Islamic law. Drawing on Qurʾānic narratives like Moses and Khidr, he argues that divine wisdom often transcends human reasoning. Leaman challenges the assumption that Islam fully aligns with modern liberal rationality, urging listeners to rethink how theological humility can coexist with intellectual inquiry in today's discourse on religion and law.

Dr Karen Bauer examines how the Qurʾān unites intellect, emotion, and moral behaviour in a single vision of human virtue. Rejecting the modern separation between thought and feeling, she shows that Qurʾānic rationality is profoundly moral: to think rightly is to feel rightly and act justly. This podcast invites reflection on how the heart, mind, and ethics intertwine in Qurʾānic spirituality.

Imagine waking up one day and realising everything you believed was true… was a lie. The scariest part? You were convinced you were right the entire time. Ignorance isn't harmless. It's the disease that blinds a person while they believe they can see. Across the world, Muslims have endless access to knowledge - reminders, verses, hadith, fatawa - all just a scroll away. Yet never has confusion been so widespread. Sins parade as "freedom." Music is suddenly rebranded as "halal" by modern du'āt despite clear proof to the contrary. Zina, alcohol, and misguidance are no longer shameful - they're personal "choices," "differences of opinion," and "no big deal." The signs of the Hour flicker around us while people argue online. The guardians of knowledge diminish, and ignorance confidently rises to take their place - shaping beliefs, corrupting morals, and slowly dismantling the Ummah from within. People feel confident discussing matters that once made the greatest Sahabah pause. Opinions replace evidence. Impulse replaces forbearance. Foolishness replaces understanding. Ignorance isn't just "not knowing." It is turning away from the truth when it comes. It is rejecting what saves the soul. It is the very reason past nations fell - even after witnessing miracles with their own eyes. It is why some Muslims cannot recognise truth anymore - even when it stands clearly in front of them. It is why sins feel easier than obedience. It is why misguided voices sound convincing. It is why the heart feels dark, heavy, and spiritually dead. This lecture by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan dives deep into the Qur'an and Sunnah to expose: • How ignorance destroys Iman • Why it leads to shirk, sin, and moral collapse • The spiritual blindness that blocks truth • Why Allah turns away from those who turn away from knowledge • The simple, powerful cures Allah has given us So now, the real question comes to be - are you okay being ignorant? Or will you revive your heart with the light Allah revealed?

In this episode, we reflect on two life-changing experiences — our deployment in Kenya with HDF and the incredible Qur'an event in London. From witnessing the struggles of families in Kenya to standing among a thousand believers in London, these moments gave us powerful lessons on gratitude, service, fighting injustice, learning to apply the Quran in our life, and the meaning of brotherhood. We spoke about what it truly means to serve for the sake of Allah, the emotions we felt seeing the conditions of others, and how these journeys reminded us of our purpose — to live with sincerity, unity, and gratitude for the blessings Allah has given us.Human Development Fund (HDF) is a global humanitarian organization working to uplift underserved communities through programs in clean water, healthcare, orphan care, education, food security, and livelihood development.
