    Brotherhood in action

    £0.00

    What is brotherhood?

    How do you achieve it and what are the benefits and the barriers to it? In this Free Booklet we will look at:

    1. Brotherhood and its consequences, obstacles, etc.
    2. When and how to give nasiha (sincere advice) in the best way and what to avoid.

    Islam is a guide to living a fruitful life not just as an individual but also collectively as a society. Each directive and recommendation in the Quran and the Sunnah lead to one’s self development spiritually and socially and impact one’s relations with those one interacts with, bringing about a positive environment. Some steps are as simple as a smile, others require a greater effort to overcome man’s propensity to look out for himself and fulfil his own desires. Yet it is precisely when we look beyond ourselves that we create the best environment for ourselves to thrive and flourish. It is when individuals initiate and follow the Sunnah that we curb toxic practices within society which lead to disunity and conflicts that fester and divide communities and the Ummah at large. The power to transform society lies in the hands of every individual who is part of it.

  • Culture vs Islam: Birth and Death Rites

    Culture vs Islam: Birth and Death Rites

    Over time, practices change, societies change and customs change, which is why Allah Almighty sent messengers to bring people back on track, back to the straight path. When they went off track, Allah Almighty would send guidance to clarify what was acceptable and what was not.

    In every era and every century and every country we have cultural issues, and it troubles me a lot when these cultural traditions and customs go against our Islamic principles. As time goes on these practices become entrenched. They become so prevalent that it is hard to tell culture apart from Islam. We find it hard to distinguish between where Islam ends and culture starts.

    The fact we have cultural issues is not a modern problem, cultural issues existed during the prophetic time itself. When the Prophet (peace be on him) was sent with the Quran and the shariah, he did not abolish all culture and start from zero. It is wrong to believe this was the case.

    Over the last 25 years I have accumulated common issues which affect people from different backgrounds – the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and others, and I decided to collate them and deliver a course on it. Here is the book that covers issues relating to birth and death. We will explore: What is Islamic and what is not?

  • Ghazali’s 20 rules for dealing with people

    Ghazali’s 20 rules for dealing with people

    £0.00

    Life is a journey to Allah which we do not pursue alone. We are not an island – we are surrounded by people, friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, those whom we employ and those we work for, and, fleetingly, those people we pass along the way.

    These interactions are fraught with a variety of emotions – currents of emotion bubble up inside us and at the same time, we are beset by various inner drives that Allah Almighty created within us, which we struggle to restrain.

    Ghazali gives twenty rules of how to deal with others. Though there are many, he chose twenty which he thought were the priorities.

    This booklet is my commentary based loosely on Imam Ghazali’s Kitaab Al-Arba’in Fi Usul ad-Deen, ‘The Forty Principles of Faith’, which he wrote before his death as a summary of his great work Ihya Ulum ad-Deen, ‘The Revival of the Religious Sciences’, one of greatest works on Muslim spirituality, and one of the most read works in the Muslim world, after the Quran.
