As Cheesy As It Sounds
By Ubah Mohamoud For quite sometime now, I’ve been pondering over something quite huge. In Islam, the way to salvation (being saved from the Hellfire and admitted into Jannah (Paradise)) is believing with full conviction that there is NO GOD/DEITY worthy of (your) worship except Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He). It’s as simple as that. [...]
A Strong Believer
I am one of the many people who, on multiple occasions, bemoaned the current status of Muslims around the world for things ranging from anti-shari`ah laws in the U.S. to headscarf bans in Europe to anti-freedom in parts of the “Muslim” world. I used to cry over how we were once a strong, vibrant, intellectual [...]
Reaching the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
By Fawzia Syed I walked faster and faster, hundreds of women pushing me forward. Women all around me cried in love and in pain. They pushed forth with a fervor that emanated from their hearts and took hold of their bodies. I continued to move forward. My heart raced; I don’t know why. I might have [...]
Spying Is Not OK, No Matter What the Polls Say

On The Threshold Of Adulthood
Question: I have twins who will be graduating from high school this year, and I feel like I am fighting with them all the time about the choices they are making. I don’t like the friends they hang out with, and I don’t think they are mature enough to make the right choices. Their major [...]

The Greatest of All Mercy
When we think about mercy, perhaps the first image that enters our mind is that of a mother with her baby. Mercy is an interesting concept. It’s defined as compassion or forgiveness that’s shown towards someone or something, even though that object is within one’s power to punish or harm. It is also something to [...]

Names of Allah Series: Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI How do you feel when are caught doing something wrong, but the person who catches you lets it go and doesn’t punish or embarrass you? There is a mixture of embarrassment, relief and gratitude. If you love the [...]
A You-Centric World
I was waiting behind a car at a red traffic light when I suddenly noticed a white, furry little puppy staring at the main street from the sidewalk. I held my breath as I found my initial interest quickly turn into distress as it heaved itself through my lane and onto the other side of [...]
It’s Too Late!
By Fauzia Majid How often in our lives do we use the phrase “it’s too late”? It’s too late to forgive, it’s too late to repent, it’s too late to make things better again, it’s too late to apologize, and the list continues. Is it really too late though? Perhaps not. The only time that [...]

Conveying The Message With Clarity
By Omar Husain The student of knowledge, Da`ee (caller), or Scholar has been given a great blessing by Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) to be in a position to learn, and teach others. However, with teaching comes a great responsibility, as you are responsible for people’s spiritual well being. With this in mind, I feel [...]
Dirty Talk
Question: My question is regarding sexual activity between a husband and wife in Islam. I had read somewhere that it’s permissible to use certain language (for example, cursing/dirty talk/so-called “bad words”) during sex if that’s something they like. Is this true or not? Answer: During sexual activity, couples will often exchange loving words with each [...]
