From Karbala to Gaza, from Yazid to today's rulers, this episode forces us to ask the question—are we witnessing injustice or enabling it?The Sheik doesn't just remind us of the tragedy—he aligns it with the events of today.As the 10th of Muharram passes again, let's confront these uncomfortable parallels between past betrayal and act upon what as a Ummah must do.
Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 55 The shrewdest persons during the time of civil unrest were 5, Hadrat Amr ibn al-Aas (ra) and Hadrat Mu'aawiyah (ra) from the Quraysh. Hadrat Qays ibn Sa'ad (ra) from amongst the Ansaar. Hadrat al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'ruba (ra) from the Thaqeef: And; Hadrat Abdullah ibn Budayl ibn Warqa al-Khuzaa'ee (ra) from amongst the Emigrants. Hadrat Qays (ra) and Hadrat ibn Budayl (ra) were on Hadrat Alee 'S (ra) side -whilst Hadrat al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) remained neutral during the conflict. (Haafiz Dhahabi [rah] in his Siyar). "I like being in authority for 3 reasons - and I also hate it for 3 reasons; I like it for I can raise supporters (ie to support the Truth and unity), lower the enemies (ie by incapacitating them) and obtaining things (lawfully but) cheaply. And; I hate it for. fear of espionage (ie the plotting of unruly ones which will thus naturally tarnish my name), the death of being deposed (ie and thus losing the benefit of helping the Ummah) and the gloating of the enemy (ie at having foolishly achieved this). (Haafiz Ibn Abd Rabbih [rah]). "Yerily, Allah (SWT) detests for you three (matters). Talking too much or about others. Wasting of wealth. Asking too many (ie unnecessary) questions (Bukhari). Recite this at the conclusion of Salah "O Allah (SWT)! None can deny that which You bestow. And none can bestow that whteh Yow hold back and "al-fad'du" (o-good fortune and prosperity) will be of no avall to, them agalnst Your "alad'edu" (e the true good fortune and prosperity namely, faith and-pure-righteous deeds), Bukhari. When people would ask Mugheerah (ra) about his fading health, he would thus often respond with the most profound words and touching words... We entered the morning drowning in bounties and unable to give thanks, Our Lord (SWT) (thus) woos us whilst He (SWT) is free from us- whilst we make ourselves loathsome to Him (SWT) while we are always in need of Him (SWT) Ibn Abi Dunya. This supplication echoes the divine words... O child of Adam My good is descending incessantly upon you whilst your evil ascends. I SWT am wooing you with My Favours - whilst you are making yourself loathsome to Me by sins. Indeed, a noble Angel (as) ascends constantly with evil from you (Ahmad).

Why is one of the most intellectually rich periods in Islamic history missing from mainstream education?In this profound conversation, we sit down with Salim Khan, a researcher and author passionate about Islamic history, to uncover the brilliance and decline of the Golden Age of Islam. He is the author of the book "The Golden Age of Islam". From uncovering the pioneering scientific discoveries of Muslim scholars to questioning why their legacy has been buried, Salim shares powerful insights and unique perspectives that every Muslim — and seeker of truth — needs to listen, research, and reflect.We explore figures like Ibn Haytham, the father of modern optics, and how early Muslim scientists laid the foundations for what we now call the modern world. More importantly, we dive into why this legacy was lost, how division fractured our Ummah, and what we can do today — as parents, youth, and leaders — to revive that spirit of intellectual and spiritual excellence.Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or entrepreneur, this episode is a call to reconnect with your roots and reignite a legacy of brilliance that still lives within us.1:55 mins | What inspired Salim to write the book “The Golden Age of Islam”5:59 mins | Why most Muslims don't know about the Golden Age and its contributions to the modern world16:57 mins | Who was Ibn Haytham and why his contributions matter19:40 mins | What was the Golden Age of Islam and why Muslims must remember it27:03 mins | Why the contributions of Muslim thinkers are often unrecognized31:12 mins | What led to the fall of the Golden Age?

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 53 During the reign of Muawiyah (ra) 'Hadrat al-Mugheerah (ra) initially withdrew to Yemen during the 1st civil war - but then pledged allegiance to Hadrat Mu'aawiyah (ra) (ie when the Ummah had united once more). He (ra) did not take part in the Batle of Siffeen but supported Hadrat Mu`aawiyah (ra) thereafter. 40 AH Mugeerah (ra) leads the Hajj. Muawiyah appoints Mugheerah (raa) to his old post, Governor of Koofa.

Neither the speaker nor this channel endorses any form of violence, oppression, or harm toward innocent people in any way. A believer faces a war on all fronts — the enemy within, the whispers of Shaytan, and those who fight the truth openly and from within. In this powerful episode of the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores how the Prophet ﷺ shaped an Ummah ready for every battlefield — starting with the one inside. Long before swords were drawn at Badr, Uhud and Khandaq, the Companions رضي الله عنهم learned to conquer their own desires, doubts, and fears. You'll see how the early Muslims were trained verse by verse, heart by heart — building an unshakeable fortress of knowledge, action, patience and sincerity. You'll learn about the believer's weapons: Iman that shields the heart, knowledge that exposes every lie, patience that locks down the Nafs, and a sword that rises only when commanded — not by rage or ulterior motives, but by revelation and wisdom. And when the external fight came — with disbelievers, hypocrites, and open enemies — they were ready. Their victory began before the battlefield, in the quiet moments of struggle against themselves. Which enemy is closest to you? Are you armed for all four fights? Watch and rediscover the battles you face daily — and the Seerah that still guides every step.

https://editorayerrahi.com.ar/productos/la-alquimia-de-la-felicidad-tomo-4/¿Qué es tawba? (arrepentimiento)Hz. ‘Ali (ra) un día se encontró con un árabe en la mezquita, y éste estaba con sus brazos abiertos diciendo: “¡Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah!”, como muchos de ustedes en sus tasbih diarios, cuando deben hacer cierto número de istighfar.Si uno dice: “¡Oh señor perdóname!”, solamente con la boca, entonces la boca está mintiendo, porque el resto no confirma esto que está diciendo.Así pues el hombre le pidió a Hz. ‘Ali (ra): “Ya, ‘Ali ¿Qué debo hacer para que esto que pido sea verdadero?” Hz. ‘Ali (ra) le dijo: “Yo te enseñaré. Primero que nada, cuando dices ‘Señor perdóname', debes nombrar el motivo por el que te estás arrepintiendo, aunque Tu Señor lo sabe muy bien”.Pero para darse cuenta de lo que uno hizo mal debe saber que está bien y qué está mal, es decir que uno debe darse cuenta, estar consciente de lo que está haciendo. Pero si uno está dormido e inconsciente, y no tiene el ‘ilm para saber lo que está mal y lo que está bien, uno solamente está hablando con la lengua, diciendo: “¡Oh señor perdóname!” Uno debe incluir en el arrepentimiento de qué es lo que uno se está arrepintiendo.En segundo lugar, uno debe al mismo tiempo, tener la intención, de allí en adelante, de no volver a cometer nunca más el pecado por el cual se está arrepintiendo. ¿Pero ustedes saben cuán a menudo nos damos cuenta de que hemos hecho algo mal, le hemos pedido a Allah (swt) que nos perdone, y los hacemos de nuevo?¡Ya Rab, despiértanos de este estado de inconsciencia, Ya Rab, haznos estar atentos, despiértanos de este estado de inconsciencia, Ya Rab, aparta nuestros corazones del amor de este mundo. Tú dices que no te contienen los dieciocho mil universos que has creado, pero dices que sí te contiene el corazón de Tu amado creyente. Ya Rab, perdónanos, ayúdanos a limpiar nuestros corazones. Ya Rab, nos has dado el honor de crearnos bajo la forma de seres humanos, y has enseñado a nuestro padre Adam (as) los divinos nombres que tenemos en nosotros mismos. Ia Rab, haznos amar a Rasulullah (saws) que nos has dado como un ejemplo. Ya Rab, perdónanos. Ya Rab, aumenta nuestro amor por Ti, aumenta nuestro amor por aquel que Tú más amaste, Hz. Muhammad (saws), Ya Rab, aumenta nuestro amor entre nosotros y une a la Ummah de Muhammad (saws). Tú dices que amas a los que se aman por Ti, haz que nos amemos el uno al otro por Ti! Al- Fatiha.El verdadero significado de la alquimia, el de la metamorfosis interior del ser humano, una tarea ardua y compleja. El sufismo como camino para alcanzar este proceso de purificación y transformación tanto interna como exterior. Un arduo combate que se libra en el interior del ser humano para recibir la gnosis y el Amor Divino. Para quienes creen que la felicidad está en la riqueza material, la promesa de la alquimia, la transformación del metal innoble en oro, ha sido durante siglos un El Dorado cargado de misterio y leyenda. Este libro habla del verdadero significado de la alquimia, el de la metamorfosis interior del ser humano, una tarea ardua y compleja que la Kimiya – esa filosofía y mística operativa que Europa recibió del oriente musulmán – esconde tras sus trabajos, operaciones y símbolos. Para el Imam Al-Gazzali, esa alquimia es el camino del sufismo, al que dedicó los últimos y más prolíficos años de su vida. El interés por Al-Gazzali, tanto en occidente como en el mundo islámico, no ha cesado en la época modernaa. Su rigor y sinceridad intelectual, unidas a una profunda espiritualidad, han trascendido los marcos culturales y temporales. Y a esto ha contribuído mucho su pluma, habilísima a la hora de ilustrar las enseñanzas con alegorías y argumentos originales. Célebre en su época en las dos orillas del mundo, lo sigue siendo hoy a nueve siglos de distancia.------------------------#algazzali #psicologíayespiritualidad #despertarespiritual

While the Ummah drowns in narratives of humiliation and loss, this explosive episode rips through the illusions. The speaker unearths the hidden source of the Ummah's weakness—not only the enemy outside, but the loss of Iman inside. With precision and clarity, the sheikh dismantles our excuses and redefines what it means to rise. This talk provides clarity on why the believers are paralyzed by despair, chasing dunya at the expense of akhirah.
History isn't just something we read — it's happening right now. The Sheikh exposes how Muslims today sit paralyzed while tiny illegitimate powers bomb nation after nation — from Gaza to Iran — while the Ummah watches in silence. Have we forgotten that true victory never came from slogans, symbolic holidays, or empty outrage? Just like the Native Americans, Malcolm X, and countless past struggles, we are living through another historical test. Will we be remembered as those who acted or those who watched?The Sheikh takes us on a powerful journey across history, Seerah, and today's brutal realities — asking: What is OUR role in Islam's revival?
As America rains destruction on Iran's nuclear sites — Nathans, Isfahan, and Gordo — the Sheikh delivers a piercing analysis you cannot afford to miss. Discover how this assault marks the next chapter in the global geopolitical reordering.Uncover the hidden deals with Russia, the manufactured centrality of Israel, and the open betrayal by Muslim regimes who willingly surrender their nations — all part of the calculated machinery designed to keep the Ummah divided, powerless, and politically irrelevant.

The Ummah watches as global powers play their deadly game—again. Iran attacked, divisions deepen, youth distracted, and the Muslim world paralyzed. But beneath the headlines lies a much older question:Why do we keep falling into these traps?Why do Muslims continue relying on the very enemies who divide and weaken us?Why is the Ummah still politically blind despite knowing the truth? Join the Sheikh as he exposes how we keep arguing, panicking, and chasing every crisis—while ignoring the one project that holds the key to Islam's revival.

Lesson 85:They include the sincerely truthful, the martyrs and the righteous; amongst these are the great signposts of guidance, the lanterns illuminating darkness, possessing virtues and merits that have been related to us; and amongst these are the abdaal and the Imams of the religion to whose guidance the Muslims have unanimously agreed. They are the aided group about whom the Prophet ﷺ said: 'There will never cease to be a group of my Ummah who are upon the truth; those who oppose them will not harm them, nor those who betray them, until the Hour is established.'We ask Allah to make us from them, that he not deviate our hearts after having guided us, and that He grant us mercy from Himself for He is the Ever-Giving. And Allah knows best. May Allah send abundant peace and blessings upon Muhammad ﷺ, his Family and his Companions.Lesson Notes: sc.isb.org.au/aw-ntsLesson Date: 11/06/2025

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 30 Yassar (ra) the Abyssinan who diverts punishment from the earths inhabitants. He often swept and cleaned the Masjid (Tirmidhi). There will never cease to be in my Ummah seven (elite souls), and they will never ask Allah (SWT) without Him answering them. By means of them, you are given rain, victory and protection (Musanaaf). "The Abdaal are 40 men and 40 women.." (Daylamee). The Abdaal are from Ash-Shaam, The Nujaba' are from Egypt. And; The Isaabah (ie the elite righteous servants) are, from Iraq (Ibn Assakir).
“Don't take it literally.” “That would be Tashbeeh.” “Allah doesn't really have a face, hand, or anger — it's metaphorical.” You've heard these claims. Maybe in a lecture. Maybe in online keyboard wars. Maybe in a casual conversation. But are they true? In this session, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Tawheed al-Asma wa as-Sifat — belief in Allah's Names and Attributes — with structure and proof, just as it was understood by the Salaf of this Ummah. You'll learn: - What it means to affirm Allah's Names and Attributes without denial, distortion, or resemblance - Why the Qur'an and Sunnah speak clearly — and why that's enough for the believer - How deviant groups like the Jahmiyyah, Mu'tazilah, and Ash'aris went astray by placing philosophy over revelation - And how this part of Tawheed shapes your worship, your dua, and your connection to Allah This isn't a side topic. It's the foundation of knowing the One you worship — without compromise.

Let's examine some facts from history and today's reality:What made the Quraysh hesitate on accepting Islam?Why did some Muslims side with Genghis Khan?Why do today's leaders rely on their enemies for protection?How should we envision the “greater good” for the community? All these questions are answered as the Sheikh takes us on a intense journey through the Seerah, Islamic history, and today's harsh realities—to uncover how we can regain the path to dignity, victory, and revival for the Ummah.

Welcome back to Road to Hajj — where we explore the rituals of Hajj, their meanings, and the mysteries behind them.Tonight, though, we're going to take a step back from the rituals themselves. Instead, we're diving into an incredible historical moment — one that didn't just shape the Hajj… it changed the course of Islamic history forever.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.This moment happened on the last night of Hajj, 1,447 years ago.It was the spark that led to the Hijrah — the Prophet's migration to Madinah. And as we know, the Hijrah wasn't just a journey; it was the turning point. So important, in fact, that the Companions later decided to mark it as year one in the Islamic calendar.To really appreciate what happened that night, we need to rewind the story a bit — back two years before the Hijrah.Rewinding to the Nights of MinaAs you may know, during Hajj, the pilgrims spend the 11th, 12th, and 13th nights of Dhul-Hijjah in Mina. Even today, that practice continues.But let's go back to the 11th year of Prophethood, a couple of years before Islam had a home in Madinah.Every year during Hajj, tribes from across Arabia would travel to Mecca. And every year, the Prophet ﷺ would walk among them, calling people to Islam.But that year, something was different.The Prophet wasn't just doing da'wah — he was also searching for a tribe that would adopt and protect him. Why? Because just a year earlier, in the 10th year of Prophethood, the Prophet ﷺ had lost his greatest worldly protector — his uncle Abu Talib.Abu Talib, the chief of Banu Hashim, had shielded the Prophet from the worst of Quraysh's violence. While others like Bilal, Sumayyah, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud were tortured — often brutally — the Prophet was relatively protected due to Abu Talib's status.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But when Abu Talib passed away, his successor was Abu Lahab — a man who refused to support or protect Rasulullah ﷺ.With no protection left in Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ went to Ta'if, hoping its people might offer refuge. But they rejected him and humiliated him.Eventually, he returned to Mecca under the protection of Mut'im ibn ‘Adi, a nobleman from another tribe. It was only temporary — the Prophet knew he couldn't count on Mut'im forever.So he started reaching out to other tribes.He approached Banu Kindah, a once-powerful tribe. They were interested… but they wanted power. They asked, “If we support you, will we be rulers after you?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “That's not for me to promise — that is for Allah to decide.”Their intentions weren't sincere, so he moved on.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A Small Encounter with Big ConsequencesAnd then — walking through Mina — the Prophet ﷺ noticed a small group: just six young men.He asked them, “Who are you?”They replied, “We are the Khazraj.”The Prophet asked, “The same Khazraj who live near the Jews in Yathrib?”They said, “Yes, we are from Yathrib.”That caught the Prophet's attention.You see, the people of Yathrib had lived alongside the Jews for generations. They were familiar with the concept of prophethood, scripture, and divine revelation. And, at that time, Yathrib was suffering from ongoing tribal conflictbetween two Arab tribes — the Aus and the Khazraj. Many of their elders had been killed. The city was fractured, desperate for unity.The Prophet ﷺ spoke to them about Islam — with the same sincerity and passion he had shown the big tribes.And something clicked.They didn't pledge allegiance that year, but they said:“Let us return to our people and speak to them. If it's good, we'll come back to you next year.”Year 12 of Prophethood: Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah (1)The next year, 12 people came back — most from Khazraj, some from Aus. They met the Prophet at night during the days of Mina and pledged allegiance.This was the first Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah — named after the valley near Jamrat al-‘Aqabah, where the meeting took place. Today, that area has changed, but back then it was where the Hajj tents stood.This first pledge was spiritual — they promised:* Not to associate partners with Allah* Not to steal or commit zina* Not to kill* To obey the Prophet in goodnessAfter that, they requested the Prophet ﷺ to send someone back with them to teach them Islam.The Prophet chose Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr — a young, eloquent, wise man from Mecca. Mus‘ab went to Yathrib and taught, preached, built the foundation for what was to come.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Year 13: Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah (2)A year later, they came again — this time, with 75 people.It was the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, 13 years after revelation began.They came by night, secretly, when all the other pilgrims were asleep. This time, they didn't just want to learn Islam. They invited the Prophet ﷺ to migrate to their city, to Yathrib.They said:“It is unfair for us to be living in peace while our Prophet is being persecuted. Join us. Let us protect you.”The Prophet ﷺ said:“If I migrate to you, this pledge must not be just religious. It must also be political. You must defend me like you defend your own families.”One of them asked:“When Islam succeeds, will you leave us and return to Mecca?”The Prophet ﷺ replied:“Your blood is my blood. Your destruction is my destruction. We are one.”And one by one, all 75 pledged their allegiance. Then they all heard a loud scream from the middle of the desert.Rasulullah ﷺ said:“That scream you just heard — that was the scream of Iblis. He is furious that Islam has found a way out of Mecca.”The Road OpensFrom that point, the Prophet ﷺ began advising Muslims to migrate, one group at a time. Quietly, Muslims left Mecca and made their way to Yathrib.Eventually, the Prophet ﷺ himself made hijrah. He left Mecca a few months later, in Rabi‘ al-Awwal, and arrived in Yathrib — soon to be renamed al-Madinah al-Munawwarah.This moment changed everything.Islam went from being an oppressed minority to a rising force of justice — spreading across Arabia, and soon, to much of the world.That night — the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, 1,447 years ago — in the small valley of Mina, the road to hijrah began.It wasn't part of the Hajj rituals —But it was written into the destiny of this Ummah.That's all for tonight's episode of Road to Hajj.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

Welcome back to Road to Hajj, a simple overview of the Hajj rituals and a light reflection on the meanings behind them. This isn't meant to be a comprehensive fiqh guide — just an easy companion for those wanting to connect deeper with the journey.Today is the 11th of Dhul Hijjah. The hujjaj are now spending most of the night — if not all of it — back in Mina, the city of tents. It's sunnah to stay the whole night, but wajib to remain for at least half of it.Now Mina isn't a place of intense rituals. There's no specific dhikr or du‘a you're required to do. The main challenge here, honestly, is managing basic needs — especially toilets. You've got limited facilities and a massive number of people.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But what should we be doing in Mina?Allah tells us in the Qur'an:فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا ٱللَّهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ آبَاءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا“When you have completed your rites, remember Allah as you used to remember your forefathers — or with even greater remembrance.” [Surah al-Baqarah, 2:200]The Arabs in Jahiliyyah used to sit around their tents in Mina talking about how great their ancestors were — telling tales of glory and lineage. Allah says: that's not the point. Don't just talk about the greatness of those who came before. Remember Allah instead.We see this same thing today in our Ummah. “Oh, we had amazing scholars in the past… Muslim scientists… Al-Khawarizmi, Ibn Sina, so on…” That's wonderful — but what are we doing now?So while in Mina, do dhikr. Be in remembrance. Don't just glorify the past — contribute to the present.From the 11th, 12th, and optionally the 13th of Dhul Hijjah, the hujjaj will be doing the stoning at the Jamarat. On the 10th, they only stoned the largest one — Jamrat al-‘Aqabah. But on the 11th and 12th, they now go to all three: the small, middle, and large pillars.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What's the story behind this?It goes back to Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام.On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, when he was on his way to fulfil the dream and sacrifice his son Ismail, Shaytan tried to intervene. At three different points, Shaytan appeared to him, whispering doubts:“You've done enough. You've sacrificed so much. You built the Kaaba. You passed all your tests. Why are you doing this? Why would Allah ask this of you?”At each of those three points, Ibrahim picked up seven small stones, threw them in the direction of Shaytan and said:Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.And he moved on.Three times — three locations. That's why we have three Jamarat.This wasn't just symbolic. There's a deeper lesson here:When Shaytan comes to you with doubt, with temptation — don't just pray. Move.Ibrahim didn't stay in place. He changed location. He physically moved away from the source of temptation.And we are taught the same thing in our tradition. If you find yourself in a place that leads you to sin, change your place. Remove yourself from toxic environments, from harmful friends, from dangerous routines.The Prophet ﷺ said:المرءُ على دِينِ خَليلِهِ، فليَنظُرْ أحدُكم مَن يُخالِلُ“A person is upon the religion of his close companion, so be mindful who you befriend.” [Tirmidhi]Even in spiritual matters — like nightmares — the Prophet ﷺ told us: if you wake up terrified, don't just make du‘a. Turn to your left, blow lightly three times, and change your sleeping position. Don't stay in the same spot.Again — you're taught to move.So this action of stoning the Jamarat teaches us two powerful lessons:* Shaytan won't stop after the first try.He'll come back, again and again, with new angles and new whispers.* If you persist in dhikr and take real action, he'll eventually stop.The whispering of that particular sin will fade — as long as you remain steadfast.Be aware of your surroundings. Be conscious of your mental state. If you know you fall into sin when you're alone, change that habit. Call a friend. Go to the masjid. Be around better people. You're not expected to win against Shaytan on sheer willpower alone. He's had millennia of practice.Ibrahim taught us that — when Shaytan whispers, you say Allahu Akbar, and then… you move.May Allah protect us from the whispers of Shaytan, and guide us to environments and companions that bring us closer to Him.Ameen.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!
