Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills...

Dating Apps and the lack of CHAT

 I’m sure we have all been there in this search for a spouse, the moment you are close to giving up on apps. One main reason is: DEAD CONVERSATION.

No, it’s not the fact that everyone’s profile seems to read gym, tick, coffee, tick, looking for a travel buddy, tick. Or, the glossy baby oiled pictures from the gym. Us women aren’t left out oh no, brothers are crying out about profiles that reek of Hijabi glam! Sisters contoured to the hilt, profiles full of demands pretty much like little modern day ‘Muslim Princesses’.

It’s the lack of conversation, once you find a profile you like. As if swiping right and left wasn’t tiring enough, you begin to feel you’ve reached a brick wall you are this close to deleting the app, until you get a MATCH!

 Again, you exchange small talk, initial chit-chat and pleasantries. Tick Tock Tick Tock

You try to keep up jokes, and banter Tick Tock Tick Tock

You keep asking questions and giving details… AND GONE.

 The conversation dwindles into thin air, the back and forth of how was your day, what are you doing, has ceased.

All of a sudden you realise, you were doing all the talk ‘they’ only went to work and back, gym in between, meal prep perhaps. No reading, no hobbies, no interests, discussions to be had memories to be shared. Just banal, monotonous chatter. That leads NOWHERE.

I’ve never understood why someone would message you daily, but share nothing substantial about themselves? Just an empty sleeve, I know your basic needs what you eat, do and like, but nothing more. And, now we must meet? Hell no. Mr/Mrs Sleeve.  

If you are looking for marriage – do that. Each conversation should serve a purpose, a sign or signal as to whether you are compatible. This isn’t a journal, a daily entry of your life, this is an effort to find a life partner! Honestly, has social media left us so inept we cannot even court anymore? Has the chase died? We no longer know how to interact, talk, converse, get to know one another. Instead, we look at empty images, hear empty information, and have an empty relationship. No thanks.

Het allergrootste cadeau

- dit artikel is in samenwerking met moslim kids entertainment -

Moslim kids entertainment produceert Nederlandstalige boeken (en tekenfilms) voor de moslims, om een positieve bijdrage te leveren aan de (islamitische) opvoeding. Ook maken ze kaarten voor verschillende gelegenheden.

Het boekje "het allergrootste cadeau" heb ik ontvangen van moslim kids entertainment. Het heeft een hardcover en 35 blz. Het boekje is leuk voor kinderen tussen 4 tot 8 jaar. Het boekje kost €12.50 en is behalve bij moslim kids entertainment verkrijgbaar bij verschillende islamitische (boek)winkels.

Het boekje is een must have voor islamitische gezinnen. Je kinderen leren op een speelse manier bewust te worden van het geloof. Ook leren ze dankbaarheid en worden ze trots op hun identiteit.

Ik merk dat mijn kinderen er veel van leren en geïnspireerd raken door het boekje. Vooral Junayda houdt van tekenen, dus ze maakt graag de tekeningen na.

Er staan prachtige gedichtjes in die vertellen wat het grootste cadeau in je leven is.

Het boekje is leuk voor het slapen gaan, maar ook leuk om mee te nemen op stap!

Moslim kids entertainment bied een snelle service, ik had het boekje snel ontvangen. Het is bijna eidul adha (offerfeest) dus geef ik dit boekje graag weg, want bij een feestje hoort een cadeautje.

Wil je het boekje sowieso als eid cadeau bestel het dan snel hier

How to Memorize the 99 Names of Allah

BY HALIMAH EL KURGHALI

AS MY EYES scrolled through my Instagram feed, this quote had me fixated. It prodded my conscious thought into the caves of deep reflection. How simple yet profound a name is.

A simple label carrying tremendous potential, a name is a simple mark of birth, upon which the journey of personal exploration rides. A name is a simple social introduction, but one that can initiate the unraveling of extraordinary friendships and love connections. A name is a standard of shared identity which can come to represent historical world movements and achievements.

Is my true identity not found with Allah? Are the best and most fulfilling relationships not had with Allah? Does the power for ultimate positive change not lie with Allah? How then, can the very heart created by Him not have engraved within it by memory His most perfect and beautiful Names? As I reflected on the number of years that had passed with this desire not achieved, I asked myself: “If not now, then when?”

So, as I re-posted, and shared this quote with those I love, I simultaneously shared with the Most Loving a secret commitment: a promise that I would journey to study and memorize His noble Names. This spiritual voyage through the divine waters of literary perfection would entail more than a simple memorization by tongue. It would require the struggle for a sound heart, a patient mind and a resolute soul. But how enthralling the path of discovery is, especially when learning more about the one you have come to love and grow fond of. It is a journey of love, exploration and a path towards the greatest and most worthy of acquaintances.

Alḥamdulillâh, the winds of baraka blew in my favor and the tide carried me directly to the shores of my destination in less than three weeks. No radical lifestyle change or challenging commitment was necessary. Rather, it took a few simple practical techniques that were smartly adopted. Here are the three simple techniques that I adopted in my endeavor to memorize Allah’s 99 Names:

1) Melody; Download a video of Allah’s 99 Names chanted in a subtle melody to listen to and memorize from. There are many such videos available on YouTube.

Scientific studies show that words associated with melody and patterns of sound are recalled better. Furthermore, history has shown how oral traditions from all cultures since the earliest of times have adopted such techniques to keep their traditions and historical tales alive through generations.

2) Clusters; The vast majority of Allah’s Names relate to one or more other Names; whether they be seemingly similar to one another in meaning (e.g. the Merciful, the Kind) or come from the same root word (e.g. the Forgiving, the Forgiver) or even in their appearing parallel to one another in meaning (e.g. the Abaser, the Exalter).

Memorizing them in such clusters makes them easier to recall. Most melodies that have been created of the recitation of Allah’s Names have already arranged the Names in this way, so it is only necessary to ensure that you understand at least the basic translation of the Names to memorize them in this way.

3) Repetition; Listening, reciting and writing the Names of Allah repetitively are key to completing your memorization of them. Our brains are constantly taking in information, even subconsciously, so constantly listening to the Names of Allah via headphones throughout the day will greatly help. You can do so whilst commuting, sitting at your workstation and even as you sleep at night, as your subconscious brain stays fully active and functioning.

Whenever possible, take a look at the Names whilst listening to them so as to visually reinforce what you are memorizing. Dedicate just five minutes a day, whether that be during a lunch break or on your journeys to work, where you can grab a pen and paper and by heart write out the Names you have so far memorized with their meanings, always scoring your answers. Again, this visually reinforces what you have memorized and allows you to identify any common mistakes that you can focus on correcting. What’s more, you can also mark your progression as you go along.

Lastly, dedicate another five minutes of your day, perhaps after a prayer or before sleeping, to repeatedly recite aloud all the Names you have memorized to date. This ensures that the auditory information taken in is orally reinforced.

How extraordinary is it that something so seemingly ‘random,’ like the post I read, can turn out to be a significant milestone in one’s life when accompanied with the courage of a simple decision. I pray that with a simple decision of your own, this seemingly ‘random’ article can set you sailing on an equally phenomenal journey of your own towards Allah.

Now when they ask me whom I love, I can indeed give them the 99 Names now etched into my heart. Alḥamdulillâh, du¢a’ has never quite been the same since.

We are witnessing a steep rise in Hindu chauvinism. Daily uprisings and mob violence are commonplace in certain parts of India. We have to educate ourselves on Hinduism and produce robust arguments against it.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited Umm Sa'ib or Umm Musayyib and said:

Umm Sa'ib or Umm Musayyib. why is it that you are shivering? She said:" It is fever and may it not be blessed by Allah, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Don't curse fever for it expiates the sin of the children of Adam just as furnace removes the alloy of iron.

جابر بی۔ عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ام سائب یا ام مسیب رضی اللہ عنہا کے پاس گئے اور فرمایا:

ام سائب یا ام مسیب؟ تم کیوں کانپ رہے ہو اس نے کہا: یہ بخار ہے اور اللہ تعالیٰ اس پر برکت نہ کرے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: بخار کو بددعا نہ دو کیونکہ یہ بنی آدم کے گناہوں کو اس طرح مٹا دیتا ہے جس طرح بھٹی لوہے کے مرکب کو نکال دیتی ہے۔

Real beauty is in modesty.

A lot of people have misconception about the veil(burqa) that, it is not obligatory for a muslim woman to cover her face. But it is absolutely compulsory to cover your entire body whenever you go out. It is mentioned in the holy Quran that “O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is…
