Being patient in days of tribulation (fitnah)
By Khalil Moya
“Allah opens the hearts to Islam.. when faced with difficulty, be patient and persevere. Always repel evil with good, and your enemy will become your friend…”
Da’wah though our actions
By Khalil Moya
“Talk is cheap. Let’s make our good actions match our fine words. The Holy Quran reminds us: ‘Who is better in speech than the one who invites people to Allah, and good deeds, and says, I am one of the Muslims?”
Celebrating Eidul Adha
By Omar Galal
“We are sometimes t0o hasty, too judgemental, too harsh with one another. We need more Hilm, [be gentle, forbearing, patient with one another, we need to make allowances for each other…”
Be happy the Halaal way!
By Dr Husni Hammuda

Two Special Days
By Khalil Moya
“The day of Arafat is the day the last verse of the Holy Quran was revealed:
“This day have I perfected for you your religion, and completed my favour unto you and chose you Islam for your Religion.” A Jewish man said to Caliph Omar: “If this verse were revealed to us, we would declare that day a day of celebration [Eid].”
Spending our wealth to support our mosques
By Khalil Moya
“.., the only wealth that’s going to benefit us is the wealth that we spend in the way of Allah, seeking to earn His pleasure. The money that we spend for the sake of Allah will be ours forever. It will be waiting for us on Yawmul Qiyaama,..”

By Khalil Moya
We must resist the temptation to look good at someone else’s expense…. If we Muslims cannot defend each other’s honour, who will? “We owe each other a debt of loyalty; covering each other’s backs…”
Better to pray in the mosque
By Khalil Moya
” Is there anyone else who is offering to prepare a place for us in Jannah? Is there anyone else offering us something better? Is someone offering us something better if we don’t come to the masjid, if we stay away from the masjid? Then why don’t we come? Why do we stay away from the masjid?”
