قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مثل المؤمنين في توادهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم، مثل الجسد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى”

Nu'man bin Bashir (May Allah bepleased with them) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

اللهم كن لأهلنا في غزة وفلسطين

May Allah protect our family in Gaza and Palestine

As a revert muslim with a mental illness such as schizophrenia, I have experienced problems doing my daily prayers because my mind is simply so altered that I can't even memorise the words. This has been extremely frustrating for me, especially when I compared myself to other sisters who gave a shahada around the same time as I did. And I know I shouldn't do that, because I have my own times, but that doesn't remove my feeling of being "a bad muslim".

Seeing my frustration and distress, my dad (who is not a muslim) came up with a solution: from now on we will pray together.

Today was our first day practicing it, and it was wonderful. He followed step by step how to do wudu, and when it was time to pray he repeated my words (which he read from a notebook, by the way) and my movements, even those that are complicated with his advanced age. I offered him the possibility to do it sitting down but he wanted to have the same experience as me. Today I am filled with love and with my faith renewed, I could only say Mashallah.

[queer-muslim-culture-is]

Queer Muslim revert / convert (who just took the Shahadah in private) culture is being terrified to reach out to your city's mosque and Muslim community because you fear being rejected or shamed for being nonbinary

I hope I'm just being overly anxious, but said anxiety does keep chewing away at me

congratulations on taking shahadah anon !

and,, i understand that fear. but there are people out there who will welcome you. i hope you can find them

Sunan an Nasa’i: The Book of Zakah, Book 23, Hadith 2533

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that:

the Messenger of Allah said, when mentioning charity and those who refrain from asking. "The upper hand is better than the lower hand; the upper hand is that which gives and the lower hand is that which asks."

How long have you been Muslim? What lead you to Islam?

6 years, الحمدلله 🤍 I was raised Christian but struggled with the Trinity from a young age. Can’t really explain it besides fitrah & and an innate inclination towards Tawhid. I met a muslim for the first time in 2016 when I was 16, and initially asked questions and talked about faith out of curiosity. I ended up going out of my way to learn more on my own though, and eventually after a couple of years, I said the shahada in 2018. I didn’t tell anyone I wanted to convert, not friends or family or even the muslim I knew. I was scared of backlash- and caving to backlash… I’m a chronic people pleaser 🥲

Alhamdulilah for everything. Despite my hardships after converting, there was still goodness that came from it. I learned how to set boundaries & how to speak up for myself. And the muslim I knew then? Yeah, we eventually got married❤️ together we now have a 3 year old son and are expecting a little girl in just a few weeks inshallah!

Dreams of Allah (revert Muslim)

A few months ago I had a dream, I was in a giant blue sphere in the emptiness of space. There was not even a single star, only a vast landscape of darkness surrounded the giant sphere. I already remember thinking "this is not of the Universe I know."

In the centre of the sphere, a narrow room was cut out like a wedge of cake. Almost as if a closet was built into the middle, a closet with no door. Within the slice stood a man. The man stood tall, it felt like 7 or 8 feet high, with a dominating presence. His face was stern, not one of anger or love, almost a look of confusion "who are you and why are you here to disturb me?" His hair not messy or neat, but slightly hidden under a type of crown, maybe a Taqiyah. All features were visible yet remained hazy. Almost like looking through frosted glass.

I remember feeling uneasy, not scared, nor happy, but uncertain if I could trust the man who presented himself to me. I did not know their intention nor why or where I was.

I asked of the man "why are you doing this? For I do not understand"

He replied that "this is the way things are."

I seemed to be engaged in conversation, bringing forth knowledge to the man. He wanted all the knowledge I had obtained. I could not make sense of why they were asking me for this knowledge nor what it was for.

After I handed over all of my knowledge with my tongue, I stood in front of the man with closed eyes and open hands, reciting in Arabic, (what I now understand to be the Shahada).

I truly believe that the Prophet (swt) came to me for me to see what has always been clear.

I have read the Qur'an every day since the dream, trying to understand my path now. I do not fully understand my path, but my heart is open.

For the first time in my life I feel faith, I feel God. I do not expect reverting to be easy or painless, I only wish to understand.

I am in a society (and surrounded by people) where to be Muslim is almost like being a criminal. I have seen, heard and felt the hatred my country holds for Islam. It hurts my heart so much to know that their ignorance has truly blinded them to the beauty, the truth, the faith.

I am yet to grasp whether I am to recite the Shahada, if this is my path, if this is what I am to do, I do not know. I do not have a Mosque close to me despite wanting to seek out the knowledge.

I cannot "shake" Allah🤲🏽 from my mind so I will continue to read the Qur'an until more becomes clear to me.

I am thankful for any advice that may find its way to me, I know that He has directed it (insha'Allah)❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽

alters in a system, not the host

we are very spiritual and have many conflicting beliefs. generally as a system we accept all religion as we believe people give power to gods. whatever someone believes can be true for them. one of us is pagan, and the other has recently felt a strong connection and calling to islam.

this is a lgbt and spiritually focused blog as well as a system diary.

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh): Before His Birth, His Birth and His Childhood

The Clean Ancestors of the Messenger of Allah

God Almighty created the father of mankind, Adam (PBUH).

When Adam raised his head, he saw that some name was written with an enormous Nur (heavenly light) at the Great Throne: “Ahmad.”

He asked wondering: “O my Lord, what is that light?”

God Almighty replied: “It is the light of a prophet who is going to come from your offspring. His name is Ahmad up in the heaven and Muhammad on earth. If it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t have created you as well!” 

The enormous truth that we faithfully adhere was also proclaimed by the owner of the light after billions of years.

One day, one of the Companions, Abdullah bin Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, “Oh Allah’s Messenger, will you explain what Allah created before everything else”?

He replied:

“Before everything, He created your Messenger’s noor (light) from His own light. The light would travel with Allah’s power and as it wished. At that time, there was no lawh mahfuz (preserved tablet), no pen, no Heaven, no Hell, no angel, no sky, no land, no sun, no moon, no person, and no jinn. 

Firstly, the Light that enlightened the heavens with all its grandeur secondly shone in the forehead of Adam (PBUH). Then, from one prophet to another, It came to Abraham (PBUH) and through him to his son Ismael (PBUH).

Hazrat Ibrahim (Abraham), who is known as “the Father of the Prophets”, had two sons: Ishaq (Isaac) and Ismail (Ishmael). He knew, as a result of the inspiration from God Almighty, that many prophets would emerge among the descendants of Ishaq. However, it was not known whether prophets would emerge among the descendants of Ismail, who was born of Hagar.

Nevertheless, he knew that a great prophet was going to be sent at the end of time. Therefore, he desired the last Prophet to emerge among the descendants of Ismail, whom he loved very much.

The Kaba, which was first built by Adam (PBUH), was heavily damaged in the long course of time and was almost demolished. The prophet Abraham (PBUH) received an order from God Almighty to rebuild this holy structure and immediately set to work with his son Ismael.

Having completed to build Kaba, they opened their hands in supplication to God Almighty and prayed:

“Our Lord! Send a Messenger from our progeny to the Muslim Ummah so that he can read to them your ayahs (verses), teach them your books and their laws, and cleanse them from their sins! 

Thus, God Almighty did not leave this sincere supplication unanswered and sent a descendant of Ismael, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the chief of the prophets to the world. The Master of the universe (pbuh) proclaimed this truth as, “I am the supplication of my forefather Abraham (pbuh).” 

Hazrat Ismail’s children and grandchildren continuously increased and they spread all over the Arabian Peninsula. From them, the sons of Adnan, and from them the sons of Mudar, and from them the tribe of Quraysh became superior and different from the others. The Hashim branch of the Quraysh tribe found the most honor and reputation them all.

He himself described this reality as follows:

“Allah chose Ismail from Ibrahim’s sons, the sons of Kinana  from the sons of Ismail, Quraysh from the sons of Kinana, Bani Hashim from the Quraysh, and me from the Bani Hashim”. 

As every source agrees on, the master of the Universe’s (Muhammad) line of descent tracing to his 20th grandfather is as follows:

“ Muhammad (pbuh), Abdullah, Abdulmuttalib (his real name is Shaiba), Hashim, Abd Munaf (Mugheera), Qusai, Kilab, Murra, Kaab, Luay, Ghalib, Fahr (Quraysh), Malik, Nadr, Khuzaima, Mudrikah (Amir), Ilyas, Mudar, Nizar, Maad, Adnan. " 

These are the grandfathers of our Honorary Master of the Universe. Their descendants proliferated; they all became the chieftains of several communities and were the grandfathers and fathers of several tribes.

Whenever one had two sons or when a tribe divided into two branches, our Beloved Prophet (SAV)’s descent would be found on the most dignified and esteemed side and during every period, every one of his grandfathers would be known by the exceptional noor (light) that shone on his face.

The line of descent after His 20th Grandfather

According to genealogists, it is unanimously agreed that Adnan, the 20th grandfather of our Holy Prophet, was from the progeny of Hazrat Ibrahim. There is a huge time span between Adnan and Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh). Some genealogists indicate that there are 40 generations in between. 

For this reason, the line of descent from Adnan, the 20th grandfather of the Messenger of Allah, to Hazrat Ibrahim, the second rank chain has been undetermined. Some genealogists say that the Holy Prophet’s line of descent dates back to Hazrat Ismail by seven generations, whereas others say nine generations. Naturally, this shows that many steps have been skipped.

The Line of Descent from Adnan to Hazrat Ibrahim

Some scholars list our Holy Prophet’s line of descent from Adnan to Hazrat Ibrahim as follows:

Adnan

Udd (or Udad)

Muqawwim

Nahur (or Sarih)

Tayrah

Ya'rub

Yashjub

Nabit

Ismail (pbuh)

Ibrahim (pbuh) 

In addition, Ibn Ishaq takes the Messenger’s line of descent all the way to Adam (Peace be Upon Him). However, we should state that other sources do not agree on this chain.

أي: ليس بينكم وبين نصركم عليهم إلا أن تجزموا عليهم، وتدخلوا عليهم الباب، فإذا دخلتموه عليهم فإنهم سينهزمون، ثم أمَرَاهم بعدة هي أ��و�� العدد، فقالا: { وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنْتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ } فإن في التوكل على الله -وخصوصا في هذا الموطن- تيسيرا للأمر، ونصرا على الأعداء. ودل هذا على وجوب التوكل، وعلى أنه بحسب إيمان العبد يكون توكله

اللهم احفظهم بحفظك وأيدهم بنصرك واقذف الرعب في قلوب أعداءهم

[mindofserenity]

أعمال الله موجودة على الإطلاق ولكنها خفية.

If you find yourself astray, keep this reminder deeply in your heart. Woven into the fabrics of your mind.

Do not fall for the whispers that break your hope of ever returning. Allah has his ways for you to return to him despite your sins and shortcomings.

Like the story of the prostitute who had mercifully been accepted into heaven for feeding a dog, who led the dog? Certainly the decree and mercy of Allah ‎ﷻ that had willed it. The works of Allah are ever-present yet subtle. Concealed…but existing.

Allah’s door does not close; an endless mercy.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'A Dirham was better than a hundred thousand Dirhams.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how?' He said: 'A man had two Dirhams and gave one in charity, and another man went to part of his wealth and took out a hundred thousand Dirhams and gave them in charity."'
