The beautiful story of Salman the Persian (Salman Al Farsi)

Allah will test us, often severely, in our faith. Those who persevere with patience and determination will be winners in the end. Salman Al Farsi had many hardships on his way to Islam. His eventful life is an amazing story of faith and determination.
The Hidden Gems
By Arshad Gamiet
“Our eyes pass over the surface of things, but the essence is not visible to us. This is the difference between basar, sight, and baṣīrah, inner sight or insight into the true nature of things. Baṣīrah is Allah’s gift to very special people. Those whom Allah has blessed with wisdom are able to discern things clearly with the eye of the heart. Such people are truly the hidden gems of our Ummah…”
Sultan of the Heart
By Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad
“This Eidul Fitr khutbah was delivered at the new Cambridge mosque. Eloquent and inspiring, it covers some of the most pressing issues of the day, and how we Muslims can be excellent role models for others.

Taking the spirit of Ramadan with us
By Abdul Basith Awan
“When we leave our homes, we instinctively check: keys, wallet and phone. That’s normal these days. But most of us forget the most important advice. Centuries ago, Sayyid Abdul Qadir al Jaylani said in his first khutbah that we should check these three things first: 1. Do the things that Allah has commanded us to do; 2. Avoid the things that Allah has forbidden, and 3: Be content with whatever Allah has decreed.”
The Reality of Fasting
By Farooq Khan
“Please note, it is not righteous to fast while travelling, nor is it better for the ill to fast if it is difficult for them to do so. In these cases, they are to make use of the permission that Allah has furnished them with, because He likes it when people take heed of the mercy that He has endowed.”
Ramadan: The month of Quran and Charity
By Farooq Khan
“My dear brothers take the advantage of this blessed
month – read, understand, implement and teach The Qur’an to
yourself, your family members and others. Please also give your
Zakat to purify your wealth and sadaqas as much as you can to
please Allah swt. Then, make Dua ‘O Allah, please forgive our sins,
ignore our shortcomings, accept of Zakat and sadaqas and our
efforts to learn, understand and implement The Qur’an into our lives,
please show your Mercy, ease our account on the day of Judgement
and enter us into Your Paradise, Ameen”
The Qur’anic superpower
Dhul Qarnain is believed by many scholars to be Alexander the Great. Allah blessed him with immense power and his empire stretched from Europe to Africa and Asia. He upheld justice, and we can learn much from his story in Sura Al Kahf (The Cave).
