Fellow Muslims!

Why Alcohol is emphatically Prohibited in Islam?
Praise be to Allah.
It is affirmed by our Islamic shari’ah that it came to bring and increase good things, and to ward off and reduce harmful things. Whatever is beneficial or mostly beneficial is permissible (halaal) and whatever is harmful or mostly harmful is forbidden (haraam). Alcohol undoubtedly falls into the second category. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit” [al-Baqarah 2:219]
The harmful and evil effects of alcohol are well known to all people, to knowledgeable Read more ...
Joshua Evans – “How the Bible Led Me to Islam”
"How the Bible Led Me to Islam" : The Story of a Former Christian Youth Minister - Joshua Evans
Joshua (Yusha) Evans was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina in a very conservative Christian home. In his early teens he became heavily involved in the church near his home and in Young Life, a non-denominational youth oriented organization with the intention of becoming involved in the ministry of teaching and preaching.

Upon studying the bible from cover to cover and realizing many Read more ...
Beyond Black Victim Status : Slaves Are Superior
Beyond Black Victim Status : Slaves Are Superior
- by Umm Zakiyyah | Source : MuslimMatters
“We were of the most disgraced of people, and Allah granted us honor with this Islam. Now, whenever we seek honor in other than that which Allah honored us with, Allah shall disgrace us (once again).” — ‘Umar b. al-Khattab
“Black people in America can never be Muslim,” he said to me as I stood next to his desk. I stared at my teacher with an expression that must have conveyed very little of what I felt right then. I didn’t know what to say. I studied his eyes, slightly enlarged by the thick glasses he wore. The deep olive of his Arab complexion Read more ...

Friday Khutbah (Sermons) : Causes of Youth Perversion
- by Imam Al-Madinah Al-Munawarrah ‘Abdul Muhsin Ibn Muhammad al-Qasim
from the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah
The Transcript:
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger, his household and companions.
Fellow Muslims! Allah created His servants on a sound and balanced nature. He sent Messengers to confirm and perfect that. Young people are fertile and open ground for all that is introduced to them, either good or bad; and they readily accept whichever of the good or false ideologies, and excellent or bad morals that comes their way. The Messenger Read more ...
Are you aware of the day of regret??
Commanding His Prophet in the Quran, Almighty Allah says:
"And warn them of the Day of regret, as the Command is decreed, and they are in a state of heedlessness, and they do not believe." (Surah Maryam 19:39)
On that day, horrors of unspeakable scale will be seen, no way of escape will be found, and all hopes for salvation will be dashed. That will be the condition of the disbelievers who led their lives in this world in denial and heedlessness of Allah's religion and far removed from His obedience. All sources of trouble and pain in this world pale in comparison to one moment spent in Hell. This can be better imagined when we think of the fact that Hell Read more ...
What A Religion, If Only It Had Strong Men
What A Religion, If Only It Had Strong Men
by Muhammad Al-'Abdah
When I hear of the gradual successes of the European countries in establishing a common market, approximating politics and social laws and bringing down barriers of movement and trade, a sense of sorrow overwhelms me. How can this group of people collaborate amongst themselves whilst possessing different cultures and customs, speaking different languages and carrying prejudices resulting from centuries of violent conflicts? At the same time Muslims, and the Callers in particular, do not join together, especially as they have all the elements necessary to establish co-operation, assistance Read more ...
