"If we are searching for the phenomenon of slavery, what are we really looking for? Is it the label ‘slave’ that matters? Or is it the reality of the condition behind it?

For those who have fasts pending from Ramadan, then these blessed 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah are the best deal we can get by combining the intention for both.

The Yearly Debate on Taraweeh

Scholars define taraweeh (تراويح) as the night prayer that is offered in congregation during the month of Ramadan. Is praying 20 raka’at taraweeh an innovation? Is there anything that is a “good bid’ah”? Breaking away from the congregation after 8 raka'at? Can we read from the mushaf in Prayer?

The Forgotten Month: Sha'ban

Mohammad Zahid

The month of Sha'ban is an extremely virtuous month. It is a month that falls between the sacred months of Rajab and Ramadan and is the eighth month of the Hijri calendar. It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Sha'ban is a month between Rajab and Ramadan, much neglected by people. In it, the actions of all servants are raised to the Lord of the Worlds; I love that my actions are not presented except that I am fasting." [Bayhaqi] Imam Abu-Bakr al-Balkhi رحمه الله said, “The month of Rajab is the month for planting, the month of Sha’ban is the month of irrigating the crops, and the month of Ramadan is the month of harvesting the crops.”

"Anyone who has a brain should nourish his intellect just as he nourishes his stomach and there is no better way to nourish the mind than reading a book and benefiting from it. Read whatever you can get your hands on, even if it's a cookbook."

A student of knowledge can forget anything, but should never forget sending salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ whenever and wherever his name is read or mentioned.
