Musa & Safurah: a Courtship, a Romance

By SuhaibWebb on from www.suhaibwebb.com

I read of a great courtship, a love story that is so romantic it’s divine. The setting – Madyan, the land of frankincense, I can almost smell it lingering in the air.

Labor of Love: Lessons Learned Overnight

By MuslimMatters on from muslimmatters.org

I could have been sleeping at home in my comfortable bedroom with it's neat-and-clean attached bathroom, offering my Fajr on a plush Musallah... but no, going through all those experiences that night opened my eyes to an existence that was based on putting someone else before your own needs.
