Sadness fills our heart as we see the house of Allah scarcely populated during this years Hajj.

When we conceptualize the structure of the house of Allâh (ﷺ), with pillars, walls, and so on, we can find similarities in this structure to that of our Islamic personality.The five pillars of Islam provide a sturdy frame, however a house cannot be complete with just pillars alone.

The speaker, Abu Talha, discusses the essential elements which we must work towards to build, maintain, and improve our Islamic personality.

The Turkish Supreme Court decision to reverse the conversion of Aya Sophia from a museum to a mosque created a firestorm of mixed sentiments and accusations - accusations, which require to be clarified and contextualized to the wider issue of the growing aspiration of Muslims to live by Islam.

Having subdued two powerful sides of the Confederates coalition, the Prophet (ﷺ) started preparations to discipline the third party, i.e. the desert Bedouins, who took Najd for habitation, and continued in their usual practices of looting and plundering. Unlike the Jews of Khaibar and people of Makkah, they had a liking for living in the wilderness dispersed in scattered spots, hence the difficulty of bringing them under control, and the futility of carrying out deterrent campaigns against them. However, the Prophet (ﷺ) was determined to put an end to this unacceptable situation and called the Muslims around him to get ready to launch a decisive campaign against those harassing rebels.

When Dhul Qa'da month approached towards the close of the seventh year A.H., the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his people, and the men who witnessed Al-Hudaibiyah Truce Treaty in particular, to make preparations to perform 'Umrah (lesser pilgrimage).

The Battle of Mu’tah was the most significant and the fiercest battle during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ), a preliminary and a prelude to the great conquests of the land of the Christians.

Chicago’s violence continues at this pace, it will be unfathomable!  Other US cities are not far behind.  The county’s morgue fills up.   Children lie in coffins.   American cities face a daunting rebuilding job in the wake of the civil unrest sparked by the death of George Floyd and the economic toll of the Coronavirus.

What is the cause and the solution?

Late in the sixth year A.H., on his return from Hudaibiyah, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) decided to send messages to the kings beyond Arabia calling them to Islam.   An in-depth look at the wording and the subsequent response is discussed understanding the implication on the spread of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula.

 

The actions taken by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)clearly indicate that he(saw) was a messenger for all mankind and that as Muslims we are bound to follow the method that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) followed.

On the back of the global momentum of the Black Lives Matter movement, the specter of the brutal history of colonialism has raised its ugly head.

The question remains whether Colonialism is something of the past or still firmly exists today.

Al-Hudaibiyah Truce marked a new phase in the process of Islamic action and life of the Muslims.  A series of events confirmed the profound wisdom and splendid results of the peace treaty which Allâh (ﷺ)called “a manifest victory”.

Quraish had recognized the legitimate Muslims’ existence on the scene of political life in Arabia, and began to deal with the believers on equal terms.

Quraish in the light of the articles of the treaty, had indirectly relinquished its claim to religious leadership, and admitted that they were no longer interested in people other than Quraish, and washed their hands of any sort of intervention in the religious future of the Arabian Peninsula.

The speaker systematically confirms the treaty of Al-Hudaibiyah was a treaty of victory for the Muslims leading up to the Battle of Khaibar.

As individuals, we have goals that we seek to achieve each day of our lives, whether in our education, at work, at home, with our family or children, or other aspects of our life.

Indeed, as Muslims we understand that these goals are meant to be achieved through our actions consistent with Islam known as "righteous deeds".

The speaker answers the very important question about what is a righteous deed.

The blessed land of Palestine is never far from the hearts of the Muslims, irrespective of their own situation. The call for the annexation of the West Bank has further stressed the need for the Muslims to respond for the liberation of the whole of Palestine.
