Relationships in Islam

Allah (swt) in the Quran, over and over, emphasizes not only His rights, but the rights of people. In Islam, we believe that there are huquq-Allah (Arabic: حقوق الله)‎ and huquq-ul ibaad (Arabic: حقوق العباد) and that there are the rights of Allah (swt) and then there are the rights of others.

The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are the most consistent, even if they are qalil, even if they are few, even if they are small, even if they are little, because that is how the true change happens.

Political Change in Islam

As Muslims it is our responsibility to engage with the system. The system is not perfect. No one is saying it’s perfect, but has it ever been perfect? Has any human made system been ever perfect? No, it’s simply not possible, but that doesn’t mean we don’t persist towards change.

Making Good Intentions

Making Good Intentions

Part of our deen is Allah rewarding us for making good intentions, and that is such a powerful thing. Many books have been written on the power of intention. Many studies have taken place on the power of good intention, but our own deen, our own religion has taught us this hundreds of years ago. The power of intention, the power of imagining something and having that intention to do something. Allah will reward you just for the thought, just for the idea.
