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.

Die Ummah braucht Charakter, nicht nur Content - Imam al- Azam Abu Hanifa (ra.) I Teil 9 I Die Erben des Lichts
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.
Muslim scholars have 52 chances a year to shape the Ummah, yet Friday sermons often fail to engage. Why do people attend but not listen? What's missing in their message? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

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!

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 27 42 Scribes, Mugheerah (ra) was one of them. Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyab (rah), Not one day passes except the Prophet's ﷺ Ummah is shown to him morning and evening. He ﷺ knows them by their marks (or names) and their deeds - hereby giving witness concerning them (Ibn Al Mubarak). "...when We bring from every Ummah a witness, and We (hen) bring you ﷺ as a witness against these?" (Surah 4: 41) "Verily, I ﷺ am a "harbinger" for you and (also) a "witness over you (Bukhari). "Harbinger'" means that he ﷺ has gone before us in order to look after our best interests and prepare for what we need (ie when we eventually join him ﷺ). "Witness'" is mentioned as above (ie and he ﷺ thus is now supplicating for us when we fall into sin). Thus SubhaanAllah! Our Beloved Messenger ﷺ is taking care of our needs in both abodes the eternal Peace and Blessings of Allah (SWT) be upon him always and forever.
Lesson 84:They prohibit boasting, arrogance, transgression, and showing contempt over people, with due right or without due right. They also command high moral values and prohibit the lowly ones.In all that they do of this and anything else, they follow therein the Quran and the Sunnah; and their path is the religion of Islam which Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ with.However, because the Prophet ﷺ informed that his Ummah would split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Hellfire except one, which is the Jama'ah, and in another hadith he ﷺ said: 'They are those who follow what I and my Companions are upon today', those who follow Islam in its pristine purity, free of blemishes, are Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.

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!

Muslims across the world celebrate Eid al-Adha with joy—yet many hearts remain burdened by the pain of division and ongoing injustice. As the Ummah reflects on the profound sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS), we must ask ourselves: Are we truly embodying his spirit of submission? Or have we unknowingly upheld the false god of secularism—by separating Islam from politics, governance, and the systems that shape our daily lives? From Gaza to Sudan, from acts of sincere worship to widespread disunity, the speaker poses a critical question:Will we continue stoning symbolic pillars while the real Shayṭān rules our world?Or will we rise and strive to fulfill the promise of a unified Ummah—living by Islam in its entirety and seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT)?
“If your Imaan was stronger, you wouldn't need therapy.”“The Prophets went through worse and they only relied on Allah.”“Isn't the Quran enough?”Sound familiar?This episode is a deep dive into one of the most damaging thought errors holding our Ummah back from true healing and wholeness. We're unpacking the myth that strong faith means you shouldn't need emotional work—and why that belief is not only inaccurate, but also deeply un-Islamic.We explore:Why the Prophets (A.S.) were able to carry immense hardship without carrying traumaWhat divine intervention, nervous system regulation, and fitrah have to do with itWhy you still need healing work—even if you love Allah, pray, fast, and read QuranHow tazkiyah, emotional mastery, and trauma work aren't separate from Islam—they are the workThis is the conversation that bridges spiritual truth with emotional reality. If you've ever questioned whether seeking help, mentorship, or healing means you're “not trusting Allah enough”—this episode will meet you right where you are and set that burden down.
What if your healing wasn't just about you?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Reclamation client Mudassirah, a mother who turned her personal pain into purpose. We explore how healing her generational wounds through the Reclamation process didn't just shift her inner world—it opened the door to something far greater: a divine assignment that is now impacting other mothers.You'll hear how, through deep inner work, somatic healing, and divine remembrance, Mudassirah made space to birth a journal that helps other mothers begin their own healing journeys. This is what happens when a woman no longer abandons herself, when she listens to what Allah placed on her heart, and when she dares to believe that her story matters.This conversation is a reminder that your healing is never selfish—it's sacred, and it's part of your legacy.✨ Check out Mudassirah's beautiful journal for mothers here: https://5t4fu043.forms.app/my-fabulous-formUse the discount code LIVEINSPIRED to qualify for a special 10% discount for podcast listeners.

Do you live with two hearts? One devoted to Friday prayers and sacred rituals—while the other remains silent in the face of global injustice? In this powerful episode, the speaker uncovers the spiritual split afflicting the Ummah: public displays of worship alongside quiet submission to man-made systems. The Qur'an reminds us—Allah did not place two hearts in any man. So why do we divide ours between tawheed and secularism? From Gaza to Sudan, Kashmir to Chicago, oppression roars—yet the voice of the Ummah remains faint.Join the Sheikh as he shatters the illusion that silence is wisdom and makes a bold call that must extend beyond the masjid into every corner of our lives.

Why do Muslims still look to the same corrupt institutions for salvation? The Sheikh dismantles the illusion that today's world is built on justice—revealing how the very systems claiming to defend humanity are the architects of genocide. As Gaza bleeds and nations stay silent, the Ummah remains spiritually present but politically absent. Will we keep moving without direction, or will we finally rise with the only complete solution that liberates, governs, and protects?
Join this riveting talk where the Sheikh takes listeners deep into how the Prophet ﷺ and the Qur'an forged a generation of Sahabah ready to carry the banner of Islam after his death. Men and women carved by revelation, endurance, and an everlasting connection with Allah (SWT). They were prepared. Today, however, Muslims scroll past genocide, wait for permission to resist, and plead for solutions from the very systems that suppress them. Gaza burns, and the Ummah looks the other way—because it was never trained to act. The Good News — That blueprint still exists. The Qur'an hasn't changed. The mission hasn't changed.What's missing is us—willing to be built like them.
Lesson 81:They believe it part of their religion to sincerely advise the Ummah. They believe in the meaning imparted by his ﷺ saying: 'A believer to another believer is like a building, one part of it supports the other', and he interlaced his fingers. [Bukhari, Muslim]And in his ﷺ saying: 'The example of the believers in their mutual love, mercy, and affection is like a single body: if one limb is pained, the whole body complains of fever and sleeplessness.' [Muslim]They command patience in times of calamity, gratitude in times of ease, and contentment at the bitterness of the decree. Lesson Notes: sc.isb.org.au/aw-ntsLesson Date: 14/05/2025

¡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. En La alquimia de la felicidad describe el proceso que lleva a esa metamorfosis, el de la purificación exterior e interior, en un arduo combate que se libra en el interior del ser humano para que, despojado de la turbiedad que lo vela, pueda recibir la gnosis y el amor divinos.Pocas figuras en la historia del Islam han resistido el paso de los siglos manteniendo la vigencia y la actualidad de sus ideas; Al-Gazzali es, ciertamente, una de ellas. La influencia de su legago espiritual e intelectual no quedó confinada al Islam, pues cruzó las barreras geográficas, culturales y religiosas - en una época en donde eso era insusitado - y hechó profundas raíces en la Europa medieval, renacentista y hasta moderna.Menos de un siglo después de su muerte, importantes obras de Al-Gazzali ya habían sido traducidas al hebreo y al latín, particularmente en la célebre Toledo andalusí. Y las ideas de ""Algazel"", cómo se lo conocía en la Edad Media, llegaron a importantes teólogos posteriores, tanto judíos como cristianos. Las huellas de sus argumentos son imborrables en Santo Tomás de Aquino, en el catalán Raymundo Lullio, en el domonico español Raymundo Martín, en el eterno Dante Alighieri, y hasta en filósofos renacentistas como Blas Passcal.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.------------------------Gustavo Bize (Buenos Aires 1953-2022) dedicó los últimos 40 años de su vida al estudio del sufismo - la espiritualidad profunda del Islam-, su historia, doctrina y literatura. Fundó y dirigió la revista Al-Hikma (""Sabiduría"") entre 2013 y el 2017, donde se publicaron por primera vez en español textos antiguos y modernos de la rica tradición espiritual islámica.

Fostering furture Ummah Builders with community in mind Guest: Muallima Johara Hassem by Radio Islam
Jay Dee, senare J Dilla, var en etablerad beatskapare i slutet av 90-talet. Han hade serverat höjdpunkter med bland andra Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes och egna gruppen Slum Village. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. 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 Dillaserien: ”Delirium” samt ”Norwegian wood”.
