Uthman: The Beloved Martyr

  One day we will no longer have the right to choose which path to follow; until that time there are many who came before us who act as examples for which path to choose, for how to act in this life. One of these was Uthman, a man who was married to two of Prophet Muhammad's daughters. First the Prophet gave his daughter Ruqiyya to him, and then after her death his daughter Ummu Khultum became Ut...

Ali: The Secret Door of Knowledge

Night had opened its treasure chest and poured out all its stars. While drifting towards the earth slowly like snowflakes, they would soon cover the mountains, plains and deserts; while floating towards the rivers and seas, they were about to hit the sea shores. That night a rain of stars was expected instead of a sand storm; the wind was not going to allow him to see the dazzling silver specks t...

Bilal: The Caller Dispersing the Veil of Darkness with his Voice

First voice: "You will not escape from this persecution until you worship Lat and Uzza!" Second voice: "My Lord is Allah. He is One." Third voice: "How much longer are you going to torture this poor man!" The first voice belonged to Umayya ibn Halef. He was one of the rebellious actors of the Age of Ignorance. The word "One" drove him crazy. He felt himself to be responsible for protecting the ve...

Abu Ayyub al- Ansari: ''To you, I Have come O Prophet Muhammad,

Medina has never awaited anyone like this before. Not only the eyes of humans, but the eyes of clouds, hills and gardens are fixed on the road. For days the city has talked of nothing but him. When his name is whispered, the trees rustle, the well-water rises, and children hold hands and to run. Spirits who sense that history will with his entrance to the city hold their breath on the edge of tim...

The month that slows down life

Don't ask someone who is walking hastily for help with an address. No address is more important than the address that he or she is aiming to arrive at. Don't extend your hands to him; his hands are not by his side. Don't greet him. Your frequency is not picked up by his antennas. Don't try to distract him. You are not a billboard sign. You can speak after all; and he may be afraid of your lips. A...

The Prophets: Links in the Chain of Prophethood

The prophet and the believers believed in that which had been revealed unto him his Lord. Each one believed in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction (they say) between any of His prophets - and they said: We heard, and we obeyed. Grant us your forgiveness, our Lord. Unto you is the journeying. (Al-Baqarah, 285)   Throughout history mankind...

The True Nature of Mankind Is Purity and Innocence

Why did some oppose Muhammad's Message?

  When Muhammad (pbuh), who was sent as a mercy to the world, conveyed the message of Allah's absolute unity and oneness and the teaching of servanthood only to Him based on the doctrine of Unity, some of the people around him violently opposed this. In the period when the Prophet was alive, people inhabiting the Hijaz region were in two categories: the Ummi and People of the Book. The Ummi were ...

Prophet of Mercy and Prophet of War

There are many striking special qualities regarding the Prophet Muhammad's attitude and behavior towards non-Muslims in both Makka and Madina. The Prophet never took a uniform approach that put everyone in the same category, but instead was rather careful to distinguish among people in his attitude towards non-Muslims. His sending a group of Muslims under the oppression of the idolaters during th...
