Sakinah is peace and tranquility; a serenity that only taqwa can provide.

O Allah, open the gates of Your mercy for me.
A blackboard leans against the outside of a mosque, showing the prayer times and associated adhaan times. The blackboard has been fashioned with black paint on a cut piece of plywood. The writing is aged in most places, but recent prayer time changes show in fresh white chalk.

My dear friend in Gaza, May Allah سبحانه و تعالى protect her, told me, "During last Friday's sermon, the Imam stood on the pulpit and delivered the shortest sermon in human history. He said, "Dear friends, I am hungry and can not speak. You are starving and can not listen. So, establish prayer."

The Sahaba, RadiAllahu Anhum, always followed the Sunnah because it was Sunnah. Today, we don't follow the Sunnah because it is (only) Sunnah. We have become derelict and complacent in our deen. We need to learn Sunnah, understand Sunnah, and live the Sunnah. #sunnah #islam #followsunnah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Wealth is not having an abundance of provisions, but is independence of heart." (Bukhārī) Contentment in the heart is true wealth. #hadith

Eid Mubarak. May Allah سبحانه و تعالى accept our ibadat, our 'ad'iyah, and our sacrifices. Let us make good use of this blessed time to seek forgiveness and to grant forgiveness. O Allah Ta'ala, forgive me, my family, and the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ #eid #eidaladha #du'a

Takbeer al-Tashreeq begins soon. From Fajr on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah (Day of Arafah) until Asr on the 13th, remember to recite the Takbeer after every fard prayer: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ #IslamicReminder

The carpet at Masjid al-Qiblatayn (Mosque of the Two Qiblas) in Medina, Saudi Arabia. After Surah al-Baqarah (2) verses 144-145 were revealed, congregations turned from facing Bayt al-Maqdis to face Ka'bah during prayer. #masjidbanisalamah #medina #islam #quran #qibla
A close-up picture of the carpet inside the Mosque of the Two Qiblas in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The piles are worn from prayer. The body of the carpet is beige. The pattern is a speckling of florally-derived shapes outlined in black with tones of yellow and orange. A small diamond-shaped pattern featuring the crossed swords of Arabia repeats in the middle every 3 feet.

A favorable sign that our Ramadan ibadat and good deeds have been accepted is that we maintain a desire and ease to continue them beyond Ramadan. If we find ourselves regressing and returning to our less desirable habits, there is less surety that our efforts have been accepted. Allahu a'alam.

Iman is a state between fear (khawf) and hope (rajā). We should never despair of Allah's سبحانه و تعالى mercy nor should we ever feel safe from His سبحانه و تعالى punishment. #islam #deen #iman #imaan

May Allah سبحانه و تعالى grant our ummah an abundance of patience and forgiveness as the blessed month of Sha'ban wanes, and we begin our annual moon-sighting debates. May Allah سبحانه و تعالى increase us in knowledge ('ilm) and wisdom (hikmah). #hilal #moon-sighting

In times of distress, we often recite Surah ad-Duha, as it was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ following a brief hiatus in wahy (revelation). During this pause, the disbelievers mocked and taunted Rasūl’Allāh ﷺ, telling him that Allah سبحانه و تعالى had forsaken him. #duha #wahy #quran #surah

Zakat (زكاة) is an obligation, one of the five pillars of our deen. Unfortunately, in many places, Zakat is not discussed, understood, and emphasized enough. Zakat is our path to a just and compassionate society. #zakat #islam #deen

Taleem is often conducted at the mosque, but it is also a very important practice to perform at home with your family. Start a new habit today with daily taleem in your home. It takes only 5-10 minutes, and the rewards of this life, and the next, are immense. #taleem #islam #muslim

For new Muslims, especially those in the US, there can be a lot of confusion regarding matters of fiqh. In an international jamaat at the masjid, one will notice differences in how the prayer is performed. It is therefore important to understand, appreciate, and acknowledge the validity of each.

When seeking knowledge one must have a clear intention (niyyah). When knowledge is sought for the love of Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎ it will produce humility (tawadhu’) and increase taqwa. When knowledge is sought for worldly gain or fame, it will create pride and arrogance. #niyyah #taqwa #ilm

(1/2) In times of uncertainty and disillusion, one of my favorite ayat to recall is Al Imran, 185 (3:185). In this ayat, among other things, we are reminded that this worldly life, and the trials and tribulations that come with it are temporary. #quranwbw #tafsir #akhirah #sabr #taqwa #quran
