Who Are the Druze? A Doctrinal and Historical Analysis of the Sect
A Sect Completely Unrelated to Islam: Understanding the Druze from a Muslim Perspective
This article was written to help clarify who the Druze truly are, based on their core beliefs, historical origins, and how they are viewed in mainstream Islamic scholarship.
As Muslims, it's essential we understand that they are not from us, and we are not from them, especially in these times when they are actively involved in unrest and harm in Syria.

The Unseen Reward of Sacrifice
“The one who strives for Allāh, while his mother weeps and his wife holds back tears, does not leave for his own sake. He departs so that a thousand mothers do not bury their sons, so a thousand wives are not widowed by oppressors.
Never think Allāh is unaware of that pain. He sees every tear, every farewell, and in return He places in their hearts a tranquility and honour that would fill a thousand others with joy and peace."
O Allāh protect our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world. Amīn

The Gift You Overlook, Another is Praying For
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Look at those below you and do not look at those above you, lest you belittle the favours of Allāh.” (Sahīh Muslim)
"True happiness lies in being grateful for what Allāh has given you and not desiring more than you need.
What Allāh provides you may be the very thing someone else is praying for right now. Never take His blessings for granted."

Can the Ummah Be Revived Through Social Media?
You Cannot Revive a People You Don’t Walk Among
Today, some Islamic movements have retreated into the digital realm. Activism has been reduced to posts, infographics, and statements. While the digital platform has power and no one denies its reach, it cannot replace the streets.
The best of mankind, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not author books, but he nurtured men and women who were ready for the challenge whenever it came. He was not distant from his people; he was among them, in their homes, in their streets, in their struggles.
Revival is not a trend. It is a torch. And it must be carried, hand to hand, heart to heart.

O Allāh, protect us from the consequences of our neglect
Have we not heard the powerful words of Amīr al-Mu’minīn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu):
“You consider yourselves to be believers while among you a believer is starving?”
[Musnad al-Shāmiyyīn by al-Ṭabarānī]
So what are we today?
Gaza children dig through rubbish bins, mothers bury their infants, and we scroll past it in silence.
Is this what we’ve become O Ummah of Mohammed ﷺ?

The Mercy Within the Pain
"Allāh’s decree can be the hardest for me to embrace, not because it is unkind, but because it gently touches the places I cling to most. He allows my heart to feel pain, not to break me, but to cleanse me and draw me closer to Him.
In that pain, He is making me stronger and more sincere, more ready for what lies ahead.
So I will never lose hope in Allāh. Even when it hurts, even when I don’t understand, I trust that whatever He chooses is, without doubt, what’s best for me."

Through the Gates of Trial to the Gardens of Eternity
Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Whoever is created for Jannah, will forever be afflicted with calamities.”
[al-Fawa’īd | 36]
“The believer walks a path paved with trials, each gate harder than the last. But with every hardship endured, he draws closer to the final gate, the gate of Jannah.
This journey was never meant to be easy, for paradise was never meant for those who waver, but for those who persevere with Imān and Sabr.”

When Life Changes, Let Your Heart Stay With Allāh
”When happiness enters your life, thank Allāh with humility, for it is His mercy.
And when you’re tested, trust in Him completely, for it is His wisdom.
This world is a delicate blend of ease and trial, joy and sorrow.
Prepare your heart for both, and anchor it in Him, for only with Allāh does the heart find peace in every season.”

When Scholars Stop Activism and Activists Stop Seeking: The Ummah Loses Its Pulse
Facing the disconnect between those who know and those who move
Until this fusion takes place, we will continue to witness a fractured Ummah, one side rich in knowledge but stagnant in change, and the other full of movement but bankrupt in meaning.
It is not either/or. It is both. The scholar and the activist. The one who knows and the one who is willing to act. The one who guards the Book and the one who brings it to life.

Seek Knowledge to Serve, Not to Store
"The more seekers of knowledge we have, the more present we should be on the ground, guiding our youth, implementing what we’ve learned, and enjoining good while forbidding evil.
If knowledge does not lead to action, we must question whether we are truly seeking it for Allāh or merely accumulating evidences against ourselves for tomorrow.
This holiday season, let’s step out of our comfort zones, reach out, connect, and inspire our youth with knowledge and purpose. Action starts with presence."

Why Avoiding the Discussion of Jihād Endangers Our Future

We must approach the study of Jihād with the same seriousness and dedication as we do learning how to pray and fast, especially in our current time.
