Khutbah

This calamity brings us closer to Allah..

By Sheikh ‘Abdullah Al Judai’

“This momentous event that we are living through right now is
a mighty sign from among the signs of Allah; a sign that removed
all the masks, humbled the arrogant and conceited, cut off all ties to

pompous display of power? Where is their pride in what knowledge
they have gained? Where are those who will rescue them from this
calamity, besides Allah?”

International Women’s Day

By Arshad Gamiet
“Remember our Prophet’s wife Khadija, a wealthy business woman who employed him and who supported him in those difficult early years of Islam.

The Irresistible Power of Du’a (supplication to Allah)

By Dr Muein Shubib.
The Holy Quran offers us numerous examples of Du’a (supplications to Allah). They are not just random prayers. These examples come directly from the life examples of the Prophets. Well known du’a that we recite daily are in fact the prayers of Adam, Ebrahim, Musa, Yunus, Ayyub and many others, may Allah’s peace and blessings be on them all. These prayers show us how to invoke Allah’s help in times of distress, and also how to thank Allah in times of ease.”
