From the Dajjal to the rising sun: Everything that will happen before and on the Day of Judgment

A lone figure stands on the edge of a rocky cliff high above the clouds, gazing at a breathtaking night sky filled with luminous blue galaxies, stars, and swirling cosmic clouds. The horizon glows softly with golden light, blending the heavens and earth in a scene that feels vast, spiritual, and awe-inspiring.

There is no concept in Islam that sobers the heart, humbles the intellect, and awakens the conscience quite like Yawm al-Qiyammah – the Day of Judgment. It is not a doctrine that we must memorize when we learn about the five pillars of Islam or a theological belief to be checked off as part of one’s faith. […]

How Islam frames the world of dreams and the unseen

A man stands on the edge of a mountain cliff surrounded by clouds, gazing at a luminous night sky filled with stars and a swirling blue nebula. The text overlay reads, “How Islam frames the world of dreams and the unseen.” The scene conveys a sense of awe, reflection, and spirituality.

Every night, the world grows quiet. We lie down, close our eyes, and drift into a different kind of reality, one we can’t control, one that feels both familiar and strange. Sometimes, we wake up with our hearts racing, remembering nightmares we can’t explain. Other times, we hold onto a beautiful image or message that […]

You keep hearing about the jinn, but do you know what they actually are?

A group of shadowy, translucent human figures appear in a foggy, dimly lit outdoor setting. The blurred motion and grayscale tones create an eerie, ghost-like atmosphere, with faint outlines of trees and ground visible in the background.

Among the many unseen creations of Allah (SWT), the jinn hold a unique place in the Islamic worldview. Often spoken of with curiosity, fear, or fascination, jinn are real beings who live among us, yet remain hidden from our physical senses. Unfortunately, for many Muslims today, especially the younger generation, what they know about jinn is often shaped by pop culture, […]

Are you ready for the loneliest night of your life? Here’s everything that happens during the first night in the grave

A single, weathered gravestone stands upright in a misty, dimly lit graveyard at night. The stone is surrounded by damp grass and scattered rocks, while a bluish fog drifts through the air, creating a somber and eerie atmosphere.

Among the most powerful realities that every human being will face is death. In Islam, we are taught that death is not the end, it is simply a transition from this temporary worldly life to the eternal life of the Hereafter. However, before one reaches the final destination, Jannah or Jahannam, the soul must pass through several critical stages. One of […]

The Man the Angels Were Shy Around: Reflecting on the Character of Uthman ibn Affan (RA)

A lone figure dressed in traditional desert attire sits facing the sunset in a vast golden desert, the warm sunlight casting long shadows across the sand dunes as they appear to be in deep reflection or prayer.

Uthman ibn Affan (RA) may not have been the most outspoken or commanding figure among the companions, but his quiet strength, deep faith, and generosity left a lasting imprint on the history of Islam. He was a man who led not through force, but through character, and he was known for his modesty, his love […]

Islamic Philosophy was way ahead of its time, and here’s why

A lone figure dressed in traditional desert clothing sits on a sand dune at sunset, gazing toward the horizon. The sky is painted with vivid shades of orange, red, and blue, casting warm light across the rippled sand. The vast desert stretches endlessly into the distance, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

From the earliest centuries of Islamic history, Muslims have asked deep questions about the universe, existence, the human soul, ethics, and the nature of God. These are philosophical questions that demand careful thinking and deep reflection. But how does Islam, a religion based on divine revelation, interact with philosophy, a field based on human reasoning? […]

The engineering of a raindrop

Rain is one of the most familiar elements of nature; a routine part of our lives that we often take for granted. We witness it fall from the sky, soak into the earth, and bring forth new life, yet few pause to reflect deeply into what it represents. For the believer, rain is far more […]

What are the seven layers of Hell in Islam, and who will enter them?

A dramatic, fiery landscape beneath a swirling red and orange sky that glows like molten clouds. At the center, a blazing circular sun radiates intense light through stormy vapor, illuminating jagged black mountains and a winding river of glowing green mist that snakes through the dark valley below.

Hell is not a concept to be brushed aside or spoken of lightly. In Islam, the reality of Jahannam, or Hellfire, is one of the core elements of our belief in the unseen – the ghayb. It is part of our belief in the Last Day, one of the six pillars of faith – also known as arkan al-iman, […]

Islam has never told us to remain silent about mental health, so why are we?

Each year on World Mental Health Day, communities rally to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for better care. For Muslims, this day presents a blessed opportunity to reclaim an integrated vision of healing, one that begins with The Quran, the Sunnah, and our spiritual heritage, and then invites science in as a helpful ally rather […]

Mass incarceration and Islam: What prison dawah teaches us about reforming society

Imagine a young man in a prison cell. He is stripped of freedom, dignity, and routine, and he sits alone with his thoughts. For many, incarceration is a place of despair. Yet, for some, that space becomes fertile ground for spiritual awakening. In the silence of confinement, many turn to The Quran, to reflection, and […]
