Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S37) The firaun of this Ummah, Abu Jahl, told the Quraysh to continue on and fight, leading his people to loss, just like firaun led his people to loss all those years before. 2 tribes split off, Banu Zuhra and Banu Adee. They did not go with Abu Jahl. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى sent down 1,000 Angels (a.s). 500 were led by Jibra'eel (a.s) and 500 were led by Mika'eel (a.s).

Jay Dee, senare J Dilla, var en etablerad beatskapare i slutet av 90-talet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Han hade serverat höjdpunkter med bland andra Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes och egna gruppen Slum Village. Men som en del av mentorn Q-Tips producentlag Ummah kamouflerades hans insatser för publiken.Det var en form av vattentortyr när Dilla gång på gång såg att informationen på skivorna inte gav honom något erkännande. Orättvisorna som en gång drabbat hans far ekade i huvudet. Men inget kunde ta ifrån Dilla det stora inflytande han hade på musiken.Hur mönstren i rytmer som låg fel, före och efter i en unik ficka, satte standarden för en ny typ av hiphoplåt. Sättet som soul- och funkhistorien transporterades via maskinen tillbaka till människan blev också ett fundament för den så kallade neosoulrörelsen och inspirationskälla för D'Angelo när han mejslade fram ”Voodoo”. Avsnittet innehåller även möten med bland andra T3, Erykah Badu, Tony Allen, Bernard Purdie, De La Soul, D'Angelo, Amp Fiddler, Robert Glasper, Frank Bush, Black Milk, Baaten, Wajeed och Que. D.Det återstår två delar i J Dilla-serien: ”Delirium” samt ”Norwegian wood”.

How to give back to the community and be of service to the Ummah with the ladies from SANWMF by Radio Islam

This Ummah does not need to chase influencers, celebrities or superheroes that don't exist. It needs to follow the early Muslim men and women who changed the course of history: The Sahabah. The Tabi'un. The Atba' at-Tabi'in. The generations praised by the Prophet ﷺ himself. Their courage. Their sacrifices. Their worship. Their patience. Their wisdom. Their unwavering commitment to the truth. In this brand-new series, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes us through authentic and powerful stories from the greatest generations this Ummah has ever known, drawing out lessons that remain just as relevant today as they were over 1000 years ago. These are not stories told merely to entertain. They are stories that shape beliefs, build character, strengthen Iman, and teach us how Islam was understood and lived by those who received it from its purest source. In this opening episode, we explore one of the most remarkable qualities found throughout the lives of the Salaf: Bravery. Not the bravery of films, fiction, or fantasy. But the bravery of men who stood for the truth when others remained silent. Men who faced armies alone. Men who feared Allah more than they feared death. Stories that will make you rethink who your heroes are. Welcome to Stories from the Golden Generations.

Listen to / Download Audio What does it mean to celebrate Eid while the Ummah is still bleeding?  Are we honoring the sacrifice of Ibrahim عليه السلام, or accepting a world where our brothers and sisters are sacrificed through betrayal, borders, and false peace? This sheik confronts the deception of our fragmented Islam, where pillars remain but the full structure of the Deen is abandoned.

In this final episode of the Dhul Hijjah Series, we reflect on the final days of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his Farewell Sermon, final advice to the Ummah, and the emotional moments leading to his passing.

May Allah accept their prayers, forgive us all, and grant every longing heart the chance to answer His call. Ameen.

In this second part of the discussion on career paths for students of knowledge, we explore two important pathways outside of the traditional masjid structure: chaplaincy and education.What does a chaplain actually do?How can students of knowledge benefit Muslims in hospitals, prisons, universities, and other institutions?And why is education one of the most overlooked yet important areas for Muslims today?This video is a realistic and balanced discussion about responsibility, serving the Ummah, planning for the future, and maintaining sincerity while navigating life after studies.We also close with a reminder regarding the blessed first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah and the importance of righteous deeds during these sacred days.BarakAllahu feekum for watching.••══ ༻✿༺══ ••❤️ Support These Efforts ⬇️: CashApp: $AtTibyanhttps://cash.app/$AtTibyanPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/MrEdge30Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AtTibyanJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aAWIAaJW0gbZsJnPAY-PA/join

In 2016, they started with just 20 T-shirts. No bank loans, no major investors only a mission inspired by a verse from the Quran: to build a completely interest-free, Shariah-compliant lifestyle brand for Muslims.Today, that brand One Ummah BD has grown to 21 outlets, 250+ employees, and sells over 100,000 T-shirts every year, all while remaining fully interest-free.From starting with only 20 T-shirts to building 21 outlets, surviving the COVID crisis, and making a 25 lakh BDT profit from a single order after Hajj Samee Salehin Khan shares experiences that could completely change the mindset of many entrepreneurs. But the journey was far from smooth.In this episode of the 2 Cents Podcast, we sit down with One Ummah BD founder, Sami Bhai.

Hajj is not just a journey of bodies moving toward the Ka‘ba — it is a reminder of purity, struggle, and sacred responsibility. But what happens when the Ummah protects symbols while ignoring the violation... The post The Sanctity We Forgot- Abu Talha first appeared on Islampodcasts.

A smiling child in Gaza with three limbs amputated should shake the conscience of the Ummah. But doesn't Surah At-Takathur force us to ask: what kind of world becomes obsessed with wealth, power, and rivalry... The post The World That Amputates Children — A Warning from Surah At-Takathur first appeared on Islampodcasts.

Just to clarify:The intention of this video is not to downplay the virtue of seeking knowledge. Rather, it is to highlight the importance of approaching it with responsibility and balance.This comes from personal experience, having spent many years studying and seeking knowledge here in Saudi Arabia.Seeking knowledge is from the greatest acts of worship. At the same time, individuals have responsibilities that must be fulfilled, and both need to be understood properly.It's important to move forward with clarity, so that expectations and responsibilities are understood from the beginning.This also extends to the wider Ummah—understanding its role in supporting those who are seeking knowledge and carrying the da‘wah. Not everyone will take the same path, but the strength of the Ummah lies in each person understanding their role and contributing accordingly.And Allah knows best.

Racializing the Ummah: Muslim Humanitarians Beyond Black, Brown and White (U Minnesota Press, 2026) is an ethnography of Islamic Relief (IR), the largest Islamic NGO based in the West. Racializing the Ummah explores how a Muslim organization can do good in a world that defines Muslimness as less than human. Rooted in more than a decade of international research, Rhea Rahman's study on the organization's projects, methods, and limitations reveals how racial capitalism permeates all aspects of humanitarianism. Beginning with a counterhistory of Muslims in the United Kingdom following World War II, Rahman analyzes IR's mission and transnational activities in and across places including the UK, South Africa, and Mali in the broader context of global white supremacy. She shows how IR's approaches often effectively secularize Islam to evade anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia, implicating concepts such as the “good” Muslim aid worker, who complies with War on Terror surveillance while attending to victims of Western colonialism. Meanwhile, Rahman theorizes the tactics of aid workers on the ground, who creatively draw on an Islamic Black radical tradition to drive real change. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain spoke with the prominent British Kashmiri liberation advocate, Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur. Topics of discussion include: What is the current situation in Indian occupied Kashmir? The ethnic and religious displacement of Kashmiri Muslims. The Hindutva-Zionist nexus, and Modi and Netanyahu's "civilisational" alliance. The similarities between Greater Israel and Akhand Bharat (Greater India). Why has India successfully concealed all this from the international community without receiving the backlash that Israel has? Why does Palestine and Arab causes dominate the Ummah's conscious? The significance of Bangladesh's 2024 revolution. What tangible and proactive actions can Muslims in the West take for Kashmir?

Sh Abdullah Mullanee and Zainab bint Younus talk about the necessity of moving on from the nostalgia of the Golden Age of Islam, drawing from its lessons by being creative and building up our Ummah in new and exciting ways today.

In Part 4 of The Cross & the Crescent series, Pastor Stephen Martin moves from theology to history, tracing how the doctrine of jihad fueled the rapid Islamic conquest of half of Christendom in a single century. Listen as he breaks down the Quran's explicit commands for holy war, the three-option system imposed on non-Muslims, and how internal Christian disunity accelerated the collapse of entire civilizations.You'll Learn:✅ How jihad functions as central Islamic theology, not a fringe distortion✅ The Islamic categories every Christian should know: Ummah, Dar al-Islam, Dhimmitude✅ Why 57 formerly Christian nations never recovered after Islamic conquest✅ What Scripture teaches about vigilance, stewardship, and standing firm

Look across every story tonight…Violence…Laws…War…Education…Wealth…Different arenas…Same underlying reality:Control.Control of narrative…Control of space…Control of belief…But the believer understands something deeper—That control belongs to Allah alone.And no matter how intense the pressure becomes…The Haqq… remains.This is One Ummah News Hour…Where the truth is not filtered.

We praise Allah for allowing us to experience and complete another Ramadan. And now that we've emerged from it, there's a question worth sitting with: what comes next?Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali mentions that the pious predecessors would spend six months after Ramadan asking Allah to accept their deeds — and the remaining months begging Him to let them witness another one. That's the rhythm. Gratitude, then longing. Never stagnation.But the Qur'an gives us something even more precise than that rhythm. It gives us a transition.In Surah al-Baqarah, the discussion of Ramadan begins at ayah 183 — *kutiba alaykum al-siyam* — and runs through to ayah 187. Then, immediately, in ayah 189, Allah says:**يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَهِلَّةِ***They ask you about the crescent moons.*The companions asked Rasulullah ﷺ about the significance of the moon's phases — crescent to full, waning and returning. Allah answered that the moon exists so that humanity can track time. So we know when a month begins and when it ends. (I understand this topic is sensitive in Perth. We'll leave that there.)But then, immediately, Allah connects this to Hajj. “Qul hiya mawaqitu li al-nas wa al-hajj.” The crescents are time-markers for people — and for Hajj.The transition is beautiful. One act of worship ends. The next one begins. No gap. No off-season. The life of a believer is simply moving from one ibadah to the next. The same Lord we worshipped in Ramadan is the same Lord who governs every moment outside of it. Ramadan ending doesn't mean the haram becomes negotiable again, or the wajib becomes optional. We have a new aim now.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.-----Now, not everyone can perform Hajj. It's a mathematical impossibility. Two billion Muslims, roughly two million pilgrimage spots per year — the number has been reduced since COVID. Do the maths. It would take something like 700 years before every Muslim alive today gets a turn. That's why Hajj is the only pillar where Allah specifies man istata'a ilayhi sabila — for those who are able. Ability is a condition.But the mindset still applies. The transition from one ibadah to the next is for everyone.-----There are so many dimensions to Hajj worth unpacking. But I want to focus on one moment — a snapshot — from the stoning at the Jamarat.The backstory is Sayyidina Ibrahim عليه السلام. He was commanded by Allah, through a dream, to sacrifice his only son at that time, Isma'il. And when he told his son — and Allah recorded this exchange in the Qur'an — Isma'il responded with full submission: *ifʿal mā tu'mar* — do as you have been commanded. You will find me among the patient.But Isma'il set conditions. He said: don't do it in Makkah, because if I scream, my mother will hear and it will break her heart. And make sure the blade is sharp so it's quick.(Side note to the sons in the room: if your father knocks on your door and says he saw a dream about slaughtering you — dial 000. These days, the worst our fathers do is say, “Son, wake up for Fajr.” And even that's a struggle.)Father and son walked about five or six kilometres from Makkah to Mina. And at each of the three stations along the way, Iblis appeared. He whispered. He cast doubt. He said: *You've done enough. You built the Ka'bah. You migrated from Iraq to Jerusalem to Makkah. You've sacrificed so much already. Why this? Just say no.*At each station, Ibrahim took seven pebbles, threw them in the direction of Iblis — *Allahu Akbar* — and moved on.After the third station, Iblis left and never came back.Falamma aslama wa tallahu li al-jabin. When both of them submitted fully — the father resolute, the son's forehead on the stone — Allah called out. The test was fulfilled. A great sacrifice was sent in Isma'il's place.-----Thousands of years later, during the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ — Hajjat al-Wada' — as he was riding his camel towards the Jamarat, he told Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Abbas: get me some pebbles.Ibn Abbas picked up pebbles about the size you could flick between your thumb and index finger. Our scholars later said: about the size of a chickpea.Rasulullah ﷺ took them and said: yes, get more of this size.And then he addressed the community. He said:**يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ***O people, beware of extremism in religion. For nations before you were destroyed because of extremism in religion.*Think about that. This is a moment about picking up a rock. A small, mundane, physical act. But Rasulullah ﷺ saw the teaching opportunity and seized it.Because it's easy to go overboard here. You're reliving what Ibrahim went through. You're stoning Iblis. A chickpea-sized pebble? That's not going to cut it. You want to find the nearest cricket club, practice your bowling, and make sure Iblis doesn't come back next year.But no. The Prophet ﷺ said: this is the size. Not too big — you're not hurling rocks. Not too small — you're not flicking grains of rice. Just right. The balance.-----So where do we draw the line on extremism?I was speaking to some of the high school students at Qaswa about the practices of our predecessors in Ramadan. Imam al-Shafi'i would complete two full readings of the Qur'an every day during Ramadan — one in the day, one at night. That's sixty khatam in one month.The students said: that's extreme, isn't it?I said: well, how do you define extreme?Let's pull out our phones. Check the screen time. How many hours on TikTok? How many on Instagram? People are clocking seven, eight, ten hours a day staring at a screen.Now imagine we could transport Imam al-Shafi'i into 2026. We tell him: Muslims today stare at a glowing rectangle for ten hours a day, getting no benefit, and it's actually harming them.He would say: that's extremely stupid, isn't it?So who defines what's extreme? Rasulullah ﷺ does. Because he is the most balanced of humanity. The mark of this Ummah, as Allah describes it in the Qur'an: ummatan wasata — a balanced nation.When three companions each decided to push further — one would pray all night and never sleep, one would fast every day and never break it, one would worship and never marry — the Prophet ﷺ said: I am the one with the most taqwa among you. Yet I pray and I sleep. I fast and I break my fast. I worship and I marry. This is my sunnah. Whoever turns away from my sunnah is not from me.Everything has a right. Your body has a right — good nutrition, good rest. Your family has a right. Allah has a right over you in worship. Giving every aspect its due — that's balance.-----Let me sketch a few dimensions of this balance.Balance in belief. Islam respects both revelation and reason. We believe because Allah told us to believe — in Him, in the angels, in the books, in the prophets, in the Last Day, in qadar. These are revelatory matters.But our tradition also respects the intellect. Look at how Ibrahim عليه السلام argued with his people in Surah al-An'am. He didn't just say: stop worshipping your idols because Allah says so. He engaged their logic. Idols you carved with your own hands — you made them, and now you bow to them? They don't speak, don't benefit you, don't harm you. Why?And then the stars. He observed the kawkab — a beautiful star — and said sarcastically: this is my lord? But when it set, he said: I don't love things that disappear. God can't be present at some times and absent at others. I need God every moment.Then the moon appeared, full and bright. He said: this is my lord? But when it set, he said: *if my Lord had not guided me, I would certainly be among those who are astray.*Notice the shift. In the first argument, Ibrahim used pure logic — God can't appear and disappear. But in the second, he acknowledged that arriving at the worship of Allah requires revelation. Intellect can deny what is not God. But to know who God is, you need guidance.Imam al-Ghazali captured this beautifully. He said: revelation is like the sun, and reason is like eyesight. Without the sun, there's nothing to see. But without eyesight, you can't appreciate the light. Both together — that's how you see.If you rely only on revelation, your faith works fine within a Muslim bubble. The moment it's challenged from outside, it crumbles. If you rely only on reason, you can conclude that God must exist — but you'll never arrive at which God, or how to worship Him. Both, hand in hand. Ummatan wasata.Balance in practice. There are people so focused on the physicality of worship — how to raise the hands, where to place them, how to stand — that they forget the deeper purpose. Prayer isn't calisthenics. When Allah says aqim al-salah li dhikri — establish prayer to remember Me — He's pointing to something beyond movement.Every act of worship in Islam is meant to produce beautiful character. The Prophet ﷺ said: I was only sent to perfect noble character. If the more religious we become, the harsher our behaviour gets — something is broken. The balance is off.Allah tells us that prayer prevents shamelessness and evil. Yet we see people who pray, and in the same breath they double-park on someone without a care. The same tongue that recites Qur'an goes on to slander. The same hands that move in salah take what doesn't belong to them.How? Because the spiritual dimension was missing. If you truly stood before Allah in prayer — before the Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in between — there has to be an after-effect. If you get called to the CEO's office and told off, you'll behave well for at least a few days. Now multiply that. You stood before the Lord of all worlds. You spoke to Him. Surely the effect lingers.And just as it starts to fade — Dhuhr arrives. Then before it fades again — Asr. Then Maghrib. Then Isha. Then sleep, then Fajr. The cycle continues. This is why prayer stops you from evil. You keep checking in with Allah. You keep reporting back.But strip away the spiritual dimension, focus only on the mechanics, and it loses its purpose.On the other hand, there are people who say: my heart is good, I don't need to pray. As long as I'm kind, the rituals are for other people. But then — who are you actually worshipping? If you abandon what Allah prescribed and follow only your own moral compass, you're worshipping your own nafs.-----This is the lesson of the chickpea.One nation before us fell into extremism through legalism — everything became so complicated that they abandoned practice altogether. Another fell through spiritualism — everything was about love, no boundaries, no halal or haram, just accept and you're saved. The religion dissolved. Nothing was left.Islam sits in the middle. As Imam al-Ghazali said: khayru al-umur awsatuha — the best of affairs is the middle path.The Prophet ﷺ reminded us, standing at the Jamarat, pebbles in hand: don't fall into extremism. The size of a chickpea. Not too much. Not too little. Just right.May Allah protect us from extremism in religion. May He grant us the strength to live by the Sunnah — balanced in every dimension, following our Prophet ﷺ externally and internally. Thanks for reading Grounded!

Muslim lands trapped at the center of global conflict, and an Ummah still asking why victory does not come. From Iran to Palestine, from the Strait of Hormuz to the wider Muslim world, this discussion... The post Mercy for Mankind — But Where Is It first appeared on Islampodcasts.

We speak about taqwa, but what does it mean when Masjid al-Aqsa is closed, when the Ummah is wounded, and when our worship leaves so little visible impact on our condition? This speaker reflects on... The post When Al-Aqsa Closes, What Does That Say About Us? first appeared on Islampodcasts.

For nearly 30 days, hearts walked the same path. Different lives. Different struggles. Yet one Ummah - fasting together, standing together, raising their hands together. This carries a reminder for us that beyond our personal journeys lies something greater - a bond built upon the Qur'an and the Sunnah, a unity that no distance, language, or circumstance can break. But as Ramadan comes to an end, a question remains: What will you carry forward for others? In this episode, we reflect on the heart that doesn't just return to Allah… but carries love, mercy, and concern for every believing heart. Because true faith is not only what lives inside your chest - but what extends from it to others.

Our series reveals a continent far more central to the story of Islam than many have been led to believe. Yet Imani ya Afrika is not merely a story of the past. As Africa emerges as one of the most dynamic regions of the twenty-first century, the question before the Ummah is clear: how will this heritage be protected, revived, and carried forward? In this series finale, we reflect on the responsibility of Muslims today to reconnect, educate, and renew the call of daʿwah across a continent whose story is far from finished.

Urdu Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on March 6th, 2026 (audio)

The Salaf were placed at the forefront of this Ummah - not only in time, but in depth of understanding, precision of speech, and clarity of method.  Their knowledge was not scattered, their words were not excessive, and their approach to the religion was guarded from speculation and unnecessary complexity. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble begins explaining the book Faḍl ʿIlm as-Salaf ʿalā ʿIlm al-Khalaf by Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbal, laying the groundwork for why the Salaf were recognised as more knowledgeable than those who came after them - and by what measures that superiority is understood. This explanation introduces the central themes of the book: the Salaf's distance from Kalām, their comprehensive yet restrained speech, their exacting relationship with the Arabic language, and the standards by which sound knowledge was historically weighed. If you want to understand the foundations of why the Salaf were treated as the benchmark in matters of understanding - this is the book for you.
