Al‑Haleem: Understanding Allah’s Forbearance

By Shaykh Anwar Mady

Allah is patient and forbearing, but there is a limit that we must not exceed. A single sincere good deed may outweigh many sins, and a small sin can lead to downfall.

By Essam Mahgoub

Central to the khutbah is the contrast between those who recognise what Allah revealed as truth and those whose hearts are “blind”—a spiritual blindness—emphasising that true guidance is taken by ulul al-albāb (people of sound wisdom).

Al‑Jabbār: Divine Majesty, Consolation, and the Healing of Broken Hearts

By Shaykh Anwar Mady
“* Al‑Jabbār is a Name of both power and mercy — Allah is mighty, yet He consoles, heals, and restores broken hearts.
* Allah is far above all creation, yet very close to us, hearing every duʿā’ and knowing every struggle.

* When people of power humble themselves before Allah, His mercy descends upon all..”
