Walking on the Path to Repentance
It is part of human nature to be heedless, make mistakes and have shortcomings, but it is from the mercy of Allah The Almighty that He opened the gate of repentance and commanded us to turn towards Him whenever sins overwhelm us.

Reminders Benefit the Believers
When afflicted with fear or harm, a believer should compare between his fears and the favours and blessings of Allah The Almighty upon him -- whether religious or worldly.

Keeping Your Copybook Clean
Imagine there was a copybook in which you wrote down all the good and bad deeds you do every day, all your life. If you possessed such a book, what would you do?

How to Attain Sincere Repentance
The reason behind repentance should be the love of Allah The Almighty, glorifying Him, hoping for His reward and forgiveness and for fear of His punishment.

They remained between a state of hope and fear that Allah The Almighty might not accept their deeds from.. More -
Different Types of Women in Ramadan: Which One Are You? – II
Some women go to the mosque just to spend some time out of their homes or to see some of their friends and acquaintances, not for the sake of praying. Such women might turn the prayer area into a place for private conversations and their voices may be loud enough for the men to hear them. Some women do not know the rulings of the congregational..

Different Types of Women in Ramadan: Which One Are You? – I
Some women spend most of their time in Ramadan in the kitchen and do not dedicate time to remembering Allah The Almighty or reciting the Quran.

Nights of Hope - II
If a person was given the opportunity to meet the greatest king of the world, to sit and talk with him alone, and to be presented with his best gifts, he would stop eating and sleeping out of extreme joy. He would count the days and minutes waiting for this meeting. Allah The Almighty has promised us a special opportunity to talk to Him privately in.. More -

Weeping in Taraaweeh: Permissible or Impermissible?
Among the dispraised practices in mosques during the Taraaweeh (voluntary night prayers) is the act of crying aloud and sobbing by some Imams or some worshippers.

The Key to the Gate Called Rayyaan – II
Every Ramadan, we observe some people spending their nights playing cards and their days waiting to feast on food after breaking the fast. Indeed, they never experience the true spirit of Ramadan, as they are always suffering from some worry and worldly concern. In the case of some women, their only concerns are clothes and makeup. They spend their.. More -
The Key to the Gate Called Rayyaan - I
Once, on a day that I will never forget, we went with some colleagues to offer condolences to someone who was recently bereaved. One of our brothers gave a sermon, asking Allah The Almighty to have mercy upon the deceased, and in the end, he said, "I ask Allah to let us live long enough to witness Ramadan." We greeted the family of the deceased.. More
