“Our faith in Allah and our actions in this life must be like the two wings of a bird. A bird can’t fly with just one wing. It needs both wings to complement each other. We need faith and action, iman wa amal, to become successful in this life and in the life to come..”
By Ibrahim Hussain
We should never underestimate the power of our supplications, our du’ah. Allah will never ignore the desperate pleas of His servants. Turning to Allah in humility and reverence is an admission of our utter helplessness and our dependence on Allah…

“Serving Allah is a source of loving delight. Islam is simply the loving surrender of our lower Self to Allah. The road to misery is to follow your own desires, your own whims and caprices, without restraint. The road to lasting contentment is to delay gratification, and to follow with loving obedience whatever pleases Allah.”
