Choosing Opinions that Suit Your Desires

Choosing Opinions that Suit Your Desires

By SuhaibWebb on from www.suhaibwebb.com

The world we live in today has brought many tests to the Muslims. Undoubtedly, it has also brought many blessings to us. One new reality—the fact that the knowledge of our religion has become readily available through mass media—can be either a test or a blessing depending upon the scholar you speak to. As a result, we find two extremes. Some who declare that everyone must follow one juristic school or preferred scholar to be the authority without exception. Others declare that they may follow whatever opinion they like and therefore spend much of their time searching for opinions which suit their desires. In this article we beseech the support and ultimate success only granted by Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) to bring the proper attitude to the availability of knowledge and scholarship in the modern world. This must be done by balancing the two extremes. In order to be witnesses upon mankind, Allah has made us a balanced nation. (Qur’an, 2:143)

Being An Educator Is Not Just A Noble Profession

Can a career find you rather than you select it? This is a @Heart story of the special path that led Dr. Omar Ezzeldine to become the Joe Bruin Mascot for UCLA, a Teacher, a Principal, and a Summer Camp Entrepreneur.

His drive pushed him and his wife to develop the acclaimed 'Camp Izza' (www.campizza.com). A place as Dr. Ezzeldine states 'where children are proud to be who they are" for the young American Muslim in an environment that intermixes Islam with arts and crafts and sports.

The Path and Miracle Of Servicing Health Care To A Community

By mukenaby on from www.at-heart.org

The UMMA Clinic was initially established as an idea by several UCLA American Muslim students who saw a dire need for health care center after the Los Angeles riots of 1992. Aware that 51% of the area's adult target population has no medical insurance at all, exceeding the county average of 31%, they opted to build something that would benefit the community and in turn they found themselves uplifting the American Muslim identity.
Summer of Contemplation

Summer of Contemplation

It was a summer of contemplation for me. Turning the idea over and over in my mind was like turning over new soil for better cultivation and growth. Not every young woman made such a shift but evidently, it had been written. I thought about Islam every waking moment of every day.
Guidance Through al-Fatiha

Guidance Through al-Fatiha

By SuhaibWebb on from www.suhaibwebb.com

When we started discussing Surat al-Fatiha, we mentioned how with this surah (chapter) in particular, we are having a conversation with Allah, and Allah responds with every verse we recite. This surah affirms Allah’s ruboobiyah (lordship), but it also tells us that this lordship is based on mercy, which is why we recite “Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem” (the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful) right after we praise Allah, the Lord of the worlds. His mercy is mentioned before we are told that He is the Sovereign of the Day of Judgment, so that we know that His mercy supersedes His wrath. Finally we talked about the key to being given this mercy, which is that we sincerely worship Him.
I Hated the Hijab

I Hated the Hijab

By igotitcovered on from www.igotitcovered.org

"This is my hijab story. I'm afraid to tell it. Afraid of what people will think of me. You see, for me, wearing hijab wasn't all blooming roses and rainbows and inner peace. It was blood and tears and a nafs raging and rebelling. It was the hardest thing I ever did for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I pray it was sincerely for His sake, that He may accept it from me, otherwise all this hardship will be in vain."
