As we continue to celebrate the special days of Eid, it is worth noting that June also happens to be the month of “Father’s Day". The story of Ibrahim is not only a story of prophethood but also a story of fatherhood. This role is so foundational to our families, societies, and even our faith, yet it seems to be under constant threat from the demands of modern life and post-modern forces.

As we welcome the sacred days of Dhul Hijjah, it is important for us to remember the opportunity presented to us by Allah swt and the privilege afforded to our Ummah via the Seasons of Good. How can we maximize these precious days? What can we do to break free from the hold of societal pressures and the allure of this Dunya, while still being present in our roles as custodians of the earth?

The season of Hajj is upon us once again and some of our brothers and sisters are preparing to make this once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage. Isn't it strange that Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, and yet we are only required to perform this worship once in our entire lives? Some might actually think that the Hajj season is only significant for those who are actually performing the Hajj rituals, but that's not true at all. These days are sacred for all of us, and these seasons that visit us yearly are opportunities for those of us who are looking for a way back to Allah (swt).

This Jumaa, we explore the importance of an oath. The power of an oath cannot be ignored or taken lightly. When we make an oath, do we take it lightly?

with Imam Azeez

Life is full of distractions. And those distractions tend to divide our consciousness and lead us down different paths. Whether it’s social media, politics, or sometimes our perception of the deen itself, the ummah is worse off for it. But Allah swt tells us something different. His (swt) plan for us is to, despite our differences, cultures, ethnicities, and political views, unite as one Ummah, under the banner of Islam. We are Muslims, a name that was given to us by Allah swt Himself!
