You Can Have Everything and Still Have Nothing Without Him
“Some found Allāh at rock bottom, when sin buried them deep and when no one saw them but Him.
And others lost Him at the top, drowned in luxury, praised by the people, but forgotten by their own hearts.
This Dunya can deceive you: it can humble you into prostration, or blind you with success.”

The Firʿawns of Today Will Drown Tomorrow
Victory isn’t delayed, it’s prepared. Just as Allāh split the sea for Mūsā, He will open a path for this Ummah
Victory is never late. It’s not random. It’s not emotional. It is decreed by the Wisdom of Allāh, measured, purposeful, and given to whom He wills.
The Ummah doesn’t just need activism. It needs faithful activism, principled, prophetic, patient.
So believe. Stand firm. And keep walking forward. The sea is about to split.

Bridging The Gap Between Scholars and Activists
Why the Ummah Needs Embedded Polymath Scholars to Guide Its Movements
Today, Islamic movements are often led by activists who are sincere, energetic, and innovative. However, many of these activists are left navigating complex challenges of revival without consistent, accessible scholarly guidance.
The revival of the Ummah is within reach, if scholars and activists unite. Passion without guidance risks chaos; knowledge without action risks irrelevance.

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."
