To believe is one thing, to have faith is another. Faith and belief must rise together in a unifying crescendo if we are to harbor any thoughts of standing for the truth alongside our Awaited Imam. Read More

This is a very inspiring incident from the lives of our Prophet's [صلّى الله عليه و سلّم] family members. Aside from the main lesson gleaned from it, especially for homemaking women of all ethnic backgrounds, who spend a significant portion of their day doing housework and chores, there are several points of interest that can be pondered upon.

At a time when many Muslims will be debating the definitions of bid‘ah and the condemnation of people based upon whether they don’t celebrate the ‘Eed Milād’l-Nabi or do, where some will find excuse to mix and party and others will find reason to have a quiet reflective moment, perhaps it would be pertinent to remind ourselves exactly what this debate is all really about.

When we dress up for dinner parties and get-togethers, why shy away from wearing one's best for the special days of the most important beings in the universe? At such days, we should endeavor to be joyous in our hearts, minds and yes, on the outside too.Some people complain about not celebrating birthdays during the annual time of sadness. But as we know, we have Islamic birthdates that can be used too at a different time of the year. A positive approach would be to arrange to celebrate one's birthday before Muharram or even on Eid az-Zahra itself! Read More

"Assalaamu alaikum," I whispered to the warm bundle nestled against my chest, "I'm your mommy." I stroked his face and then asked the rhetorical question that every mother has asked since time immemorial. "Now... how am I going to raise you?"It's a question that I have continued to ask since that first magical night in the maternity ward. Read More
