Your Purpose in life.
subhanallah:
“To each of you God has prescribed a Law and a Way. If God would have willed, He would have made you a single people. But God’s purpose is to test you in what he has given each of you, so strive in the pursuit of virtue, and know that you will all return to God [in the Hereafter], and He will resolve all the matters in which you disagree.” [5:49] The Holy Quran

The Iraq war did not need to happen →
lefeksziknymph:
There were no weapons of mass destruction. It was a lie.
Over a hundred thousand innocent people have died because of a lie.
By 2008, over a thousand American soldiers committed suicide while serving in Iraq. The number has surely only increased since.
Then there’s what happened in Abu Ghraib.
The American soldier who raped a 14-year old Iraqi girl after killing her...

“Women in Islam: Respected or Oppressed?”
–
Majority of the critiques on the position of women in Islam as well as the opinions of the general public on this matter suffer from a significant flaw. These debates take place in a wrong frame of reference i.e., the comparisons are made based on the 20th century expectations and standards. ...

Confessions of A Stylist - Take VI: Moment of...
Today marks the 1 month anniversary of my wearing the Hijab. I have mixed emotions about viewing this as an achievement, because it is obligatory but it most certainly has not been easy. I am, however, slowly but gradually gaining more and more peace of mind. I’ve realized peace comes from within. It starts with your mind, and then your actions. Many of us do not take into consideration that...

Confessions of A Stylist - Take III
So, in less than a week, it will be the 1 month anniversary of wearing my Hijab. Not that it’s this great achievement; just the opposite, it’s an obligation but it’s the changes that I’ve made in the past month that I take pride in. I cannot stress how difficult it was for me to pursue this decision, considering I’ve taken great risks in regards to my career. But it...

A rant before Fajr. [iA salah makboula for all]
No one is perfect - we all know this; but the key is to make decisions that will better your ways; to set you on a straighter path. Am I right or wrong? I am not one to push my beliefs on anyone, but it is our duty to guide those we care about from going astray.
What has been getting to me lately is this new wave of Islam amongst the younger...
