The Inheritance of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)
Abu Hurayrah (radiallaahu ‘anhu) once passed by the market in Madinah. He stopped at the market and said:
“O people of the market, how incapable you are!”
They said, “And how is that Abu Hurayrah?”
He replied, “Over there, the inheritance of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is being distributed and you are here! Won’t you go and take your share?”
“Where is it?” they asked.
He replied, “In the Masjid.”
So they hurried to the Masjid, and Abu Hurayrah waited for them until they returned.
When they came back, he said, “What’s the matter?”
They replied, “Abu Hurayrah! We went to the Read more ...

Malik-e-Ashtar
A tall and well built man with a tanned face and a healed cut on his eyebrow that told a tale of warfare, strode purposefully through the market place.
A merchant threw a handful of waste at him just to provide a moment's entertainment in the market. But the man continued to walk on as before without batting an eyelid.
Another merchant went up to the offender and asked: "Do you know the man whom you just offended?"
"No. I don't know him. He was one of the thousands who pass by us every day. Who was he, anyway?"
"Seriously, didn't you recognize him? This passer by happened to be the general commander Malik-e-ashtar."
"Was that man Malik-e-Ashtar? Was Read more ...

Picture Perfect : Hajj – The Journey of a Lifetime
Moving images, striking panoramas, majestic mosques and minarets, special aerial images, intimate scenes of rapturous pilgrims - these are just a few rare close up moments of one of the Most important cities in the world, Makkah and Madinah. These pictures are recent (most from 1431 Hijri [2010]) and I believe these images will awaken the understanding of religion, brotherhood and of Hajj, the journey of a Lifetime.

The Lonely Ember
A Musalli of a certain Masjid, who previously had been attending salaah in congregation regularly, stopped going.
After a few weeks, the Imaam decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The Imaam found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for the Imaam’s visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a big chair near the fireplace and waited. The Imaam made himself comfortable but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the play of the flames around the burning logs.
After some minutes, the Imaam took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all Read more ...
