By Dr Muein Shubib

“There are many theories about the reason for this Coronavirus outbreak in China. We should be careful not to jump to premature conclusions… Allah alone knows the whole truth.

No one knows who is closest to Allah…

By Dr Shahrukh Mallick

We often misjudge people based on our very limited knowledge of their situation. There can be more than one explanation, and we should always think the best of others. Islam teaches us to be strict with our own behaviour, and to be generous, patient and forgiving towards others. Allah alone knows the secret of all hearts. Allah alone knows who is closest to Him.  This inspiring and thought-provoking khutbah is highly recommended. Please share it widely..

Master Supplication for Forgiveness..

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

These prayers show us how to invoke Allah’s help in times of distress, and also how to thank Allah in times of ease.”

When calamity strikes, say “We came from Allah, and to Allah we will return!”

By Ibrahim Al Tamimi

“The British election result has come as a shock to the Muslim community. Islamophobia seems likely to get worse as the party in government has swung towards more right-wing policies. Living as a Muslim in Britain today will become even more challenging. At times like this, we should remember: Be Islamic; don’t panic! Allah is in control of history. We should follow the example of Prophet Muhammad sws and his noble companions. Put our trust in Allah. “Hasbun Allah wa neya’mal wakeel” Allah is the best Guardian and Protector…”

Lessons about good relationships in Sura Al Hujurat

By Dr Hossam Roushdi

“Careless habits may seem trivial to us, but they can have serious consequences. Sura Al Hujurat reminds us of the dangers of backbiting, slander and mocking others.

We should cultivate humility, and make excuses for others while holding ourselves to account at all times…”
