A Quran reciter during an interview was once asked why is there a sad tone to his recitation? He replied saying, when I was young a calamity befell me (one of his parents passed away). And my sadness continued after that, it never stopped. One calamity upon another calamity upon another calamity! Life is just like that, this catastrophe goes away, then another one will come up. This is the life. When you have that it's not necessarily a bad thing, it will purify you. People d

A friend of Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله was a blind man, his sight has gone but he can see with his heart. In Islam it's not the sight that goes blind, it's the heart that grows blind. Islam is not like the blind cannot see with regards to sight, the blindness is in the heart, the heart goes blind. If you're blind, it's your heart, it's in your chest, in your body. With his eyes he can't see but he can see with his heart. The blind man asked his son one day to take him to Hasan

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم one day came to Fatima رضي الله عنها and asked her, what do you think about mingling? She replied, separate the men from women! Segregation - there must be segregation! There's a verse in the Qur'an, Allah says, If the men want to ask the women, then ask them from behind the veil! Allah mentioned that before, so there is segregation and it should be there all the way until the Judgement Day. A man and a woman should not meet together alone or Sh

One day the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting with Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه and there were two goats fighting. One of them headbutted the other and the Prophet said, O Abu Dharr, they are fighting, do you know what's between them that they are fighting? Abu Dharr replied no. The Prophet said Allah knows and Allah will justify between them on the Judgement Day! Some of them will be hit and others will be the hitter. The one who got hit will take avenge from the one who hit

Because of the weight of this question, you cannot ask a question like this, how did someone dare to ask a question like that, that's why he looked down and started sweating. Imam Malik responded saying, "The ascension is well known, and how is unknown to all, to believe in it is obligatory,

A man came to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه at the prophet's mosque and he told him that there is a man who is sat outside and he never joined the congregation for the prayer, Umar replied, "Okay, let's go see him."  Umar went to him and inquired as to why he didn't join in the congregational prayer, the man replied to Umar saying, "that's not your business, go mind your business!"

There are five prayers Allah enjoined upon you, whosoever preserves the ablution (i.e makes wudu) and he offers the prayers on time, he preserves them and takes care of them (i.e performs it correctly), then Allah makes it incumbent upon Himself to admit him into paradise. And whosoever doesn't, he is negligent regarding its rights, Allah has no duty upon Himself to enter him into Paradise. If Allah wills He will send him to hell-fire or paradise, that's Allah's choice. But
