"To me it was just about servicing a market that needed to be serviced with halaal information." - Dilshad Parker

A professional graphic designer who managed to turn her part-time passion project into a full-time resource and business. We get into the nitty gritty of how and why Dilshad started HungryforHalaal.co.za. Her challenges with regards to blogging in this specific industry and we find out who makes the best coffee and steak in Cape Town... Just kidding!

She defines what success means to her, who her mentors are and what she is most grateful for.

We really appreciate her work - keep it going Dilshad!

Enjoy!

"Traveling humbles you so much that at the end of your journey you realize that we are all human beings on the very same journey and we are all ONE." - Khairunnisa Khan

We have been really blessed and totally humbled to meet these 2 human beings (F&K). Farhaan and Khairunnisa's sincere love and passion for traveling rubbed off on us as well. That travel bug! We struggled to edit this almost 2-hour conversation about their journey from Johannesburg to Jerusalem and beyond. This beautiful couple guided us through their 14-month road trip through Africa. From drinking amazing Ethiopian coffee for just R6.00 to seeing Christians praying just like Muslims. They found the interaction between the Sudanese women & men unique and very comforting.

Yes, they encountered a couple of tests and challenges, but that was dwarfed by a super inspiring Ramadaan and Eid in Palestine. No spoiler alerts...

Originally published by Bayyinah Institute.

Surah Al-Qadr is entirely dedicated to Laylatul Qadr, the most noble of nights during the month of Ramadan when the Quran was first revealed.

In this episode, Ustadh Nouman teaches us the nuances of the phrase “laylatul qadr” in Arabic, which combines the meanings of night of “decree”, “honor” and “power”. This is the night when Allah will decree that the angels execute all His decisions for the rest of the year; when Allah revealed the most honorable words through His most honored angel to His most honored messenger.

Finally it is a night endowed with unusual power; a night when all our sincere duaa will be accepted. It is the ultimate night of peace and prayer; one we must take advantage of as the blessed month of Ramadan comes to a close. But above all else, Laylatul Qadr is a celebration of the Quran.

Imaam Hassan Mkwinda is an inspiration to us all. He tells us about his journey from Tanzania to Cape Town and how he got married to a local woman who then started a maddressa in Kuils River. Hassan's amazing ability to quote verses of the Quran on the fly pertaining to a certain theme is something to look forward in this episode. A truly humble servant of Islam. May Allah accept his work at AIPC (African Islamic Propagation Centre)
