“Outwardly, creatures are an illusion, but, inwardly, they are an admonition. Thus, the soul looks at the illusory exterior while the heart looks at the admonitory interior” Hikam 85 page 142 from The Book of Wisdoms https://www.whitethreadpress.com/products/the-book-of-wisdoms-kitab-al-hikam-with-ikmal-al-shiyam The aphorism explains the constant battle between the differing perspectives of the self ego and the inner heart. The ego wishes to partake in any worldly pleasure, whilst the heart looks beyond immediate pleasure and calls for self restraint. The Shaykh mentions the importance of self discipline and three ways which will safeguard one from falling prey to the ego. Link to donate - https://www.whitethread.org/whitethread-centre/

Aqeedah 01-03: Understanding Aqeedah: Tawheed and the Danger of Shirk | Lessons from Shaykh Ahmad Al Romh | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. This blog briefly explores Aqeedah—the Islamic creed—focusing on Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the severe warning against Shirk (associating partners with Allah).1. What Is Aqeedah?Aqeedah means belief or creed. It is the firm conviction a Muslim holds in their heart, especially about Allah, His attributes, and His commands. Aqeedah forms the foundation of Islam and affects every aspect of a Muslim's life.“So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, the natural disposition (fitrah) which Allah has instilled in mankind.” — Qur'an 30:302. Tawheed – The Heart of AqeedahTawheed means affirming that Allah is One in His Lordship, Names and Attributes, and in His right to be worshipped alone. It is the message of all Prophets.“And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], ‘Worship Allah and avoid Taghut (false gods).'” — Qur'an 16:36The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:“The Prophets are paternal brothers; their religion is one.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 3443https://sunnah.com/bukhari:34433. Fitrah – Our Natural DispositionEvery human is born upon fitrah, a natural belief in Allah. The environment later influences the child's path.“Every child is born upon the fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” — Sahih Bukhari 1385https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1385Allah has placed in every soul the natural inclination toward monotheism.4. The Straight Path and HanifProphet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is described in the Qur'an as a Hanif, someone who turns away from Shirk toward Tawheed.“Indeed, Abraham was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth (Hanif), and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.” — Qur'an 16:120Muslims ask for this path daily:“Guide us to the straight path.” — Qur'an 1:6A Hanif is one who follows the pure monotheism of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), worshipping Allah alone, free from Judaism, Christianity, and all forms of Shirk.— Sahih al-Bukhari 3827https://sunnah.com/bukhari:38275. Shirk – The Greatest SinShirk is the opposite of Tawheed. It is to associate partners with Allah, and it nullifies one's deeds.“Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.” — Qur'an 4:48The Prophet ﷺ said:“I created all My servants as monotheists, but the devils misled them.” — Sahih Muslim 2865https://sunnah.com/muslim:2865Conclusion:Aqeedah is the root of Islamic faith. Understanding Tawheed and avoiding Shirk leads to salvation. May Allah keep us firm on the straight path. Ameen.

Impure Water in Islam: Rulings and PurificationUnderstanding Water Purity According to Quran and SunnahAssalamu Alaikum.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this short blog, we will discuss the rulings of impure water in Islam—what makes water impure, and how to purify it—based on the Qur'an and Sunnah.Alhamdulillah, in Islamic jurisprudence, water purity is a vital subject. Water is essential not only for physical cleanliness but for acts of worship like wudu (ablution) and ghusl (ritual bath). In this blog post, we explore the rulings related to impure water, based on Quran and Hadith, as explained by scholars.1. Why Study Impure Water?We must understand impure water because:It cannot be used to remove ritual impurity (minor or major).It cannot purify filth (najasah).It becomes contagious, making whatever it touches impure.It cannot be used for drinking or cooking.2. What Makes Water Impure?Water becomes impure (najis) if it comes in contact with a physical impurity and any of its three characteristics—color, smell, or taste—change as a result.The Prophet ﷺ said:“Water is pure and nothing makes it impure.” — Sunan Abu Dawood 66 (authentic)https://sunnah.com/abudawud:66For example:If urine, feces, blood, or a dead animal contaminates the water and changes its color, smell, or taste, the water is impure.But if a pure substance like saffron changes the water, the water remains pure.3. How to Purify Impure Water?a) Add More Pure WaterIf enough pure water is added to impure water so that the change in color, taste, or smell disappears, the water becomes pure again.Example from Hadith:A Bedouin urinated in the masjid, and the Prophet ﷺ said:“Pour a bucket of water over it.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 220https://sunnah.com/bukhari:220This teaches us that impurity can be removed by overwhelming it with pure water.b) Wait for Natural PurificationOver time, impurities may disappear naturally due to environmental factors (evaporation, sunlight, etc.). If no impurity remains, the water is pure.c) Filtration and Treatment (Modern Methods)Today, technology like desalination and chemical treatment can remove impurities from sewer water, making it safe and pure again, provided the three characteristics return to normal.4. How to Judge If Water Is Impure?The scholars agree:If any one of the three characteristics is changed by impurity, the water is impure.If none of them change, even if a drop of impurity falls in, the water remains pure—especially when the water body is large like a swimming pool.Allah says:“And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30This verse reminds us of the value and necessity of clean, usable water.5. Practical TipIn dire situations (war, drought, etc.), if you only have slightly suspected water, check for the three characteristics. If there's no visible impurity, the default rule in Islam is that the water is pure.Conclusion:Islamic rulings on water purity are merciful and practical. By observing the three signs (smell, taste, color), and using purification methods, we ensure our worship is valid and our hygiene preserved.May Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.

Seerah 01-03: The Early Life and Divine Protection of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Assim Al-Hakeem | Zad Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.I am Zayd Haji, a student at Zad Academy. In this blog post, we explore the early life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, focusing on divine signs, his noble character, and Allah's protection—long before he received revelation.1. Childhood and Allah's ProtectionAt age four, the Prophet ﷺ experienced the miraculous event of chest-splitting by Angel Jibreel (Gabriel), where his heart was purified with Zamzam water. This event purified him from Shaytaan's influence and occurred again before the Night Journey (Isra wa al-Mi'raj).Soon after, his mother Aaminah passed away during a trip to Yathrib (Madinah), leaving the Prophet ﷺ orphaned at age six. His grandfather Abdul Muttalib took custody and showed deep affection for him. Upon Abdul Muttalib's death two years later, the Prophet ﷺ was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib, despite the latter's poverty.2. Character Before ProphethoodThough surrounded by idol worship and immorality in Meccan society, Allah protected the Prophet ﷺ. He never touched idols, never drank alcohol, and never attended gatherings of immorality. Once, when he tried to attend a musical gathering, he fell asleep—divinely protected from such behavior.“Indeed, you are of a great moral character.” — Surah Al-Qalam 68:4 (quran.com/68/4)3. Hilf al-Fudul – Pact of JusticeThe Prophet ﷺ participated in a noble alliance known as Hilf al-Fudul, which was formed to uphold justice and protect the oppressed in Makkah. He later said:“I witnessed a pact of justice in the house of ‘Abdullah ibn Jud'an that was more beloved to me than red camels. If I were invited to something like it in Islam, I would accept.” — [Musnad Ahmad 1655] (authenticated by Al-Albani)This shows Islam encourages cooperation in justice, even with non-Muslims, as long as it does not contradict Shari'ah.4. The Value of Guiding Others to IslamDuring the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet ﷺ emphasized that guiding someone to Islam is more valuable than wealth:“By Allah, if a single person is guided through you, it is better for you than red camels.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 2942https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2942This was said to Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA), showing how da'wah holds immense reward.5. Early Exposure to Trade and Global InteractionsThe Prophet ﷺ traveled with Abu Talib on a trade journey to Syria in his youth. Although some stories (like the monk Bahira) are unauthenticated, the Prophet's exposure to international trade laid a foundation for his later dealings and trustworthiness.Important Takeaways:Allah protected Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from birth.His early life reflects honesty, purity, and service.Islam supports justice and alliances that promote it.Guiding others to Islam is greater than worldly wealth.May Allah allow us to embody these lessons and spread truth with wisdom. — Zayd Haji, Zad Academy

Tarbiyah 01-03: Honoring the Final Messenger ﷺ | Insights from Shaykh Ibrahim Zidan | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiBy Zayd Haji – Student at Zad AcademyAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In this post, I will summarize key reminders about our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his finality, and our duty to follow him, based on Qur'anic verses and authentic hadiths.1. Praise to Allah and the Prophet ﷺAll praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, and companions. We testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is His final Messenger.2. The Love of the Companions for the Prophet ﷺUrwah ibn Mas'ud (RA) said during the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah:"I have visited kings like Caesar, but never have I seen a leader more loved and obeyed by his companions than Muhammad ﷺ." This shows the deep respect and love the Sahabah had for the Prophet ﷺ — a sign of true belief.3. Follow the Unlettered Prophet ﷺAllah says in the Qur'an:“…So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His words. Follow him so that you may be guided.” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:158 This verse shows that guidance comes by following Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.4. Finality of ProphethoodAllah clearly states:“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets.” — Surah Al-Ahzab 33:40 Belief in his finality is a core part of Islamic faith. Anyone who claims a prophet will come after him is rejecting a clear Qur'anic teaching.5. Protection from ErrorThe Prophet ﷺ did not make mistakes in conveying the message. Allah says:“Your companion (the Prophet) has neither gone astray nor erred.” — Surah An-Najm 53:26. No Religion Accepted Except IslamAllah says clearly:“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” — Surah Al-Imran 3:857. The Prophet's Final SermonIn the Farewell Khutbah, the Prophet ﷺ said:“I have conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust.” He fulfilled his mission. Allah commands:“Say: O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all…” — Surah Al-A'raf 7:1588. His Message Is for All HumanityThe Prophet ﷺ said:“There is nothing between the heavens and the earth that does not know I am the Messenger of Allah, except the sinners among jinn and mankind.” — Musnad Ahmad – Hadith of Jabir“The previous prophets were sent to their nations only, but I have been sent to all of mankind.” — Sahih al-Bukhari 335https://sunnah.com/bukhari:335ConclusionAs Muslims, we must love, follow, and obey the Prophet ﷺ. His message is final, universal, and the only path to salvation. Let us hold firm to his Sunnah, honor his legacy, and invite others with wisdom

Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim Help us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipThe Prophet Mohammad PBUH was the first activist in Islam. He lived a mujahid and died a shaheed, dedicating his life to spreading the message of Islam and fighting the injustices of his community of Quraysh and even the two giant powers of the time, the Byzantine and Sassanian empires. And yet today, we have lost the essence of this and strayed from the Prophet's PBUH principle of standing for justice. In today's episode, we discuss how we, as Muslim youth, can follow in the Prophet PBUH path of correcting injustices and emulating the greatest man that ever lived.
