Eidul Fitr Khutbah 2024 by Essam Mahgoub
By Essam Mahgoub
We should take great care not to harm other by careless talk, gossip, slander and backbiting, for example. Things that we think are minor infractions, but are really major sins in the sight of Allah.

These are not ordinary words
By Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad
One of the amazing miracles of the Qur’an is that it speaks to us directly, both collectively and individually. How often have we not opened a page at random, and read a verse that seems to be specially addressed to us, to guide us through a problem that we are having at that moment?

Allah says “I listen to the prayer of everyone who calls me. Let them also then, listen to My call, so that they may walk on the straight way.”

Some Muslims suffer from an inferiority complex, so they uncritically adopt the western liberal culture. Actually, Islam is far superior, but they don’t realise it. We must fully appreciate our Islamic values so that we can become personal examples those who are spiritually lost
Media martyrs and symbolic resistance
By Dr Omar Suleiman
The brave journalists who report from Palestine are being targeted. Many have been killed. We must not allow the suffering of Gaza to be forgotten. We must keep the issue alive. We must continue to support them in their hour of need. Keep protesting against the injustice.
