Hajj:
its virtues and benefits
Praise be to Allaah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah.
This is a brief discussion of Hajj – its virtues, benefits and a little about its rulings.
1. When Hajj was prescribed
According to the correct view, Hajj was made obligatory in 9AH, the year of the Delegations (al-Wufood), in which Soorat Aal ‘Imraan was revealed, in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka’bah) is a d…

12 Tips For Muslim Youth
Why should you, a young Muslim, be helping to bring your friends closer to Allah?
After all, you've got your own struggles to deal with: trying to explain why you pray to hostile teachers, Hijab discrimination, standing up in class when the professor attacks Islam, dealing with parents who think you've gone nuts because you're growing a beard, or all the other difficulties faced by a number of practicing Muslim youth?

Do you know where have you long been,
Or what is dignified-what's mean?
You have been in the deeps of what's dim;
Amidst vague seas where you can't swim.
You have been brought to full clear light,
And is sure to lead a life so bright;
You have been going astray life-long.
Deviating from faith:true,virtuous and strong.
You have been losing your way all the time
Living in utter faithlessness-what a crime!
Do you know what's right,what's wrong
Which religion is fickle,which's strong?
Do you know w…

Nay!Verily,he has been stubborn and opposing Our proofs."[74:11-16].

The Selfless Dedication Of Barakah.......
May Allah be pleased with her
We do not know precisely how the young Abyssinian girl ended up for sale in Makkah. We do not know her 'roots', who her mother was, or her father or her ancestors. There were many like her, boys and girls, Arabs and non-Arabs, who were captured and brought to the slave market of the city to be sold. A terrible fate awaited some who ended up in the hands of cruel masters or mistresses who exploited their labor to the full a…

Help Me Allah
The hate that I feel in my heart is real,
But these are feelings that I don't want to feel.
Please Allah help me to be strong,
As I know feeling like this is wrong.
You know the pain and anger that I feel in my heart,
Please take it away, make it depart.
I'm so tired and weary Dear Lord,
These feelings I cannot afford.
I want to feel alive, I want to feel free,
I want to be the best Muslim that I can be.
Please take this pain, throw it away,
I need to prostrate to You and pray.

The Obligation of Hajj (Pilgrimage) and its Excellence
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka`bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e., denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah stands not in need of any of the `Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).''

Is Literacy, Not The Necessity Of Today's Muslim Female..???
The Muslims who believe that uneducated and under-fed women are better Muslims than those women who have the education to raise intelligent children and the means to support them if necessary, are fooling themselves. Is there greater piety to confining women to the home if the mother and her children become malnourished and illiterate as a result?
Although we hear very little about it from our scholars, many women companions of…
