Adding To Something Good Is Not Always Good
Righteous actions are only according to righteous intentions, and a good intention does not make something which is futile correct. This is because intentions alone cannot make an action correct, but rather complying with the Sharee'ah (Prescribed Laws) must be added to that. [Refer to Madaarijus-Saalikeen (1/85) of Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah)] This article is an excerpt from "Al-Bid'ah wa Atharuhus-Sayyi fil... - More
True knowledge is not ornamented words
Knowledge is the noblest pursuit and the most important gain. Indeed it is, since knowledge is the condition for realizing the worship of none but Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. A person who has acquired knowledge has, in fact, gained great blessings; our Lord (Exalted and Glorified be He) has negated the equality between those who have knowledge and those who do not in His Words: Say: “Are those who know equal t... - More

He is not a Scholar or a Student of Knowledge
Malik ibn Dinar (Allaah have mercy on him) once said: "Verily you are in greatly troubled times. Only one with true insight knows thetimes you live in. Verily you are in a time of [people] boasting and being proud. [1] Their tongues are swollen in their mouths, and they seek worldly gain through the deeds of the hereafter. So be warned against them for yourselves, lest they catch you in their nets. O scholar, you ... - More
I, Me and Myself
There goes a famous dialogue in the Indian film industry these days which is “Never under estimate 3 things in Life – I, Me and Myself”. This is on the tongues of both young and old and they proudly utter this boastful statement to one and all, as and when required. Leave apart the non-Muslims, what is even more strange is the fact that, young Muslims of today have turned a deaf ear to their religion, and have bee... - More
Consistency is a Must
An important thing to remember when seeking knowledge as in many other things in life, is that one must be consistent if they want to achieve any level of success. Be not deceived by the erroneous concept that, “Success is gained in large strides.” Rather, it is the opposite which stands true. This is a reality that eludes many who contemplate on success and being successful. Success is most often attained by way o... - More
Daughters are a Trust
Having daughters is a blessing of which many people are unaware, because they are easy to raise, and because of the great reward that a person may gain through them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever takes care of two girls until they reach puberty, he and I will come like this on the Day of Resurrection” – and he held his two fingers together. [Narrated by Muslim (2631)...
Reasons for the invasion of doubts in Muslim youths
May 19th
A question was posed to Shaykh Abdul ‘Azeez ibn Baz (rahimahullaah) in which he was asked, “What are the reasons for many young people deviating from the Din (religion of Islam) and becoming alienated from it?”
The Shaykh replied: As you mentioned, many young people are deviating from Islam and becoming alienated from all that is related to the Din, and there are many reasons, among which are:
Their lack of knowledge and ignorance of the reality and merits of Islam; their inattention to the Qur’an; and the lack of educators who have knowledge and ability to explain the reality of Islam and More >
Every path taken in search of knowledge is a way to Jannah
May 15th
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge, Allah will make the path to Jannah (Paradise) easy for them.” [Sahih Muslim 2699; Sunan Tirmidhi 2945].
This shows us the great excellence of the seekers of knowledge. For whoever sets right his intention in seeking knowledge and desires only Allah’s pleasure, is on a road to salvation and happiness. Knowledge should be sought for the right objectives and for its implementation not for the sake of Riya’ (showing-off ), gaining reputation, or for the sake of anything else; rather, a person learns it to be acquainted More >
True knowledge is not ornamented words
May 13th
Knowledge is the noblest pursuit and the most important gain. Indeed it is, since knowledge is the condition for realizing the worship of none but Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
A person who has acquired knowledge has, in fact, gained great blessings; our Lord (Exalted and Glorified be He) has negated the equality between those who have knowledge and those who do not in His Words: Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” [Qur'aan Surah al-Zumar 39:9]
Knowledgeable people are more apt to be more fearful and mindful of Allaah (Exalted and Glorified be He) because of More >
The Servant’s Extreme Need for Guidance
May 10th
The servant is in need of guidance, [1] at every moment and in every breath, in everything that happens to him and passes him by, for he is in the midst of many matters from which he cannot separate himself:
(1) Matters in which he found himself because of ignorance, rather than guidance, so he is in need of seeking guidance to the truth with respect to these.
(2) Matters in which he knows the guidance, but did not act upon it in the proper manner, so he is in need of repenting from them.
(3) There are matters concerning which he did not know More >
He is not a Scholar or a Student of Knowledge
May 7th
Malik ibn Dinar (Allaah have mercy on him) once said:
“Verily you are in greatly troubled times. Only one with true insight knows thetimes you live in. Verily you are in a time of [people] boasting and being proud. [1] Their tongues are swollen in their mouths, and they seek worldly gain through the deeds of the hereafter. So be warned against them for yourselves, lest they catch you in their nets. O scholar, you are a scholar yet you devour [wealth] with your knowledge. O scholar, you are a scholar yet you boast with your knowledge. O scholar, you are a scholar More >
