Friday Sermon: Loving The Beloved, And Following His Footprints

Step one, is for us to take a little bit of time, in piecemeal, and slowly but surely learn more about Prophet Muhammad. Learning about him is a never-ending process for the Muslim. If you finish one Seerah book, pick up another. If you finish one Seerah podcast series, begin another. Keep that wheel turning, and you will always benefit insha Allah. Step two, as that learning increases and deepens, is to put what you practically can into practice. To live something from what you have learned. Do...

MUHSEN Khutbah: Special Ihsan For Those With Special Needs | 8.26.22

How do you treat those in society who may be disenfranchised? How do you treat those with special needs? How do you look at them, with both your eyes and heart? Do you save space for them as the Prophet did? Do you make them feel loved and welcome? Ihsan is to treat people with excellence, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Regardless of their connections. Regardless of their appearance. Treat people as a Muhsen because it's a reflection of who you are. How do you treat others? Sincerely,...

A Teaching Moment, A Beautiful Dua, And A Brother For Support

When Moses first speaks with God, he is shown a glimpse of God's power in two ways. First, with his staff. And second, with his hand. Then when God instructs him to go to Pharaoh due to his tyranny, he responds with a beautiful supplication, primarily focusing internally. In his supplication, he makes sure to ask God to assist him through his brother, Aaron. As strong as Moses was, both in his stature and personality, he requested support. And God answered him. #quran an #oasis of #inspiration...

Be Blessed, And A Blessing, Wherever You Are

Be blessed wherever you are. Because of the Quran. Be a blessing wherever you are. Because of the Quran. Don't just look to receive blessings. Look to produce them. Look to be one. That is what it means to be like Jesus (Quran, 19:31). That is what it means to befriend the Quran. Can you start today, and take one baby step towards the Book of Allah? With self-love, kindness, and compassion? This book is filled with mercy. Are you?

Humility In The Early Hours

Humility in the early hours. Your spirituality should lead to more humility, and kindness towards others. Your religiosity should soften your heart, not harden it. Have you gravitated closer towards becoming a better person, or the opposite? Reflect.

A Sound Heart

On that day, nothing else will matter. Not gold, nor silver. Nothing worldly. Except... A sound heart. Which requires constant effort, And purification. Step one, is to learn who God is. Next, is to try to live graciously within that framework of understanding. Free of envy, free of evil. Filled with peace, and purpose. Do you love for others what you love for yourself? If yes, is it more than a claim, supported with action? May God grant us hearts that are clean and pure, and help us to constan...

Friday Sermon: Fasting Is More Than One-dimensional

Fasting is supposed to be more than one-dimensional. It's supposed to be both external and internal, both physical and spiritual. When it comes to the sacred day of Ashura this coming Monday (8/8/22) - the day in the Islamic Hijri calendar that Moses and his people were saved from Pharaoh and his henchmen - in order to properly and fully benefit from it, a person must reflect deeply and reflect critically internally: am I treading the path of Moses or Pharaoh? And if the silent claim is that Mos...
