Tafseerah with Imam Azeez

Wherever you are in life, whatever your condition, there is nothing that disqualifies you from turning back to Allah (swt). For those who have experienced it, turning to Allah sincerely is one of the most beautiful and comforting feelings on earth. In that moment we taste the sweetness of His love for us and feel the comfort of His acceptance. Some turn to Allah out of repentance triggered by a calamity. Others turn to Allah in awe of a unique spiritual experience. Is there one that is more dear to Allah?

Life is comprised of relationships that we make and maintain with the people that surround us. Some of those relationships are great blessings for us while others can be a real test. One particularly special relationship stands out among the rest: brotherhood. This is a bond that is deeper than friendship, and one that is not limited to those who come from the same parents. This bond, if it is true, may propel us to greatness or deliver us from the deep abyss of despair. How many of us have tasted the sweetness of such brotherhood?

The treaty of Hudaybiya brought much needed peace to the nascent Islamic Community, and enabled the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to pursue what he's most interested in:" to spread the Deen of Allah (SWT) and inspire hearts and minds. In the month of Muharram, the Messenger sent 8 letters to 8 heads of state inviting them to consider Islam. One particular letter, that he sent to the Roman king Heraclius, and the subsequent exchange, really stood out. What do we learn from the prophetic correspondence with the Byzantine Emperor that can inspire our Dawaa efforts today? Join us today at Jumaa to learn more and get inspired.

Surat Al-Qassass brings to light an unwavering divine promise: that the darkness of the night will ultimately be replaced by the brightness of the day, so long as God wills it. In the days of the pandemic, as our community grapples with our new social reality, being deprived of the annual Hajj, or the festivities of Eid-ul-Adha, perhaps the God's promise can fall on our hearts like water on fire.

Illness comes in so many forms, some seem mundane but others are quite severe or even deadly. It is a fact is life, each of us will be touched by illness. People have had all kinds of explanations or illness. Some have said this is the wrath of God while others have claimed that illness must mean that it means that Allah (swt) does not love us. Some have even used illness to question His very existence. What guidance does Islam offer us on this difficult fact of life?
