When you don't see salah as a duty, you'll see its real purpose. It makes you reflect, relax, and not be overwhelmed by what's happening around you. Allahﷻ didn’t command salah as a burden. Salah is a break. The forceful break Allahﷻ gives us to pull us out of this rat race.
New Year Announcement
As the sun set today at Maghrib, we welcome the blessed month of Muharram and the beginning of a new Islamic year.
Muharram is one of the sacred months and a beautiful opportunity to renew our intentions, increase in worship, and draw closer to Allah.
Among the great opportunities in this month are:
- Fasting on the Day of ‘Ashura (10th Muharram) - a means for expiation of the previous year’s sins.
- Fasting the Ayaamul Beedh (13th, 14th & 15th of the lunar month) from the beloved Sunnahs of our Prophet.
May Allah grant us a year filled with barakah, guidance, forgiveness, and steadfastness upon His obedience.

Absolute bombshell. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese confirms Israel is actively executing the Greater Israel Project while the world is distracted. She exposes the ongoing Gaza genocide as just one brick in a massive system of apartheid that will not stop on its own.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If you were to rely on Allah as He deserves, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. They leave hungry and return full." (Tirmidhi 2344). Notice the birds still leave. Tawakkul (Complete trust in Allah) is action without anxiety. Ibn Al-Qayyim separated tawakkul from tawani (reliance from laziness). Do everything within your capacity, then release the outcome to the One whose capacity has no limit.
This is the call of prayer for Asr Salat a couple of moments ago at Masjid Al Aqsa, completely empty.
May Allah deal with the Zionist apartheid state of Israel & allow us to see the liberation of Palestine 🇵🇸.
Keep making dua.

Almighty. Help those who are broken; with broken hearts and broken lives. Comfort them. Bless them with healing. Change their circumstances. Help them make sense of all the chaos going on around them. Make them feel whole again. Aameen.
The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“whoever goes to bed in a state of wudu, then wakes up at night and asks Allah for something in this world or the hereafter, it will be given to him.”
