Vernacular Architecture — the solution to our architecture problems?
By: Pranav Gupta
Tags: Sustainable Development, Architecture, Sustainability

Buildings are responsible for almost half of all global energy use, produce 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, consume 25% of all drinkable water, and account for 20% of all solid waste produced in developed countries.

Hence, in today’s age of activism and urgency regarding reducing our impact on the environment, it can be argued that it should be one of the priorities of scientists, architects and the general public to reduce the impact of human constructions and settlements. Therefore, roughly 9 months ago when I began my ‘personal project’ as a part of the IB program, I decided that I would investigate my interest in architecture, but at the same time try and come to a conclusion regarding how architecture could be improved for greater sustainability.

To do so, I focussed my research on the field of vernacular architecture, which is the field of architecture relating to traditional building practices which originated when humankind was forced to use the resources around them to provide shelter, comfort and protect themselves. My theory was that if this form of architecture was integrated into contemporary architecture, it would be possible to make architecture more sustainable while using minimal modern technology and hence, also manage costs.

To test this thesis, I set out to create 2 architectural plans on the 3-D modelling software ‘Sketchup’ in which both plans were created for the setting of Southern Karnataka in India but where one plan was created for the upper strata of society and one for the lower strata of society. To make these plans realistic I had to consider aspects such as cost, materials, size and audience and tried my best to integrate my research on vernacular and sustainable architecture.

For reference, the major conclusions of the aforementioned research for the design process are as follows:

windows and vents must be positioned to maximize the input of natural energies and minimize energy losses.

Thermal insulation can be used to minimize energy losses

The use of local/repurposed materials can lead to reduced GHG emissions from transportation and processing.

Inspiration may be taken from previous vernacular architecture such as the Casbah of Iceland and the Wada Housing of India.

The two plans have been attached below and include detailed annotations on how vernacular architecture has been used in the plan along with other techniques for increased sustainability.

My hope is that these plans would inspire change in the field of architecture or increase awareness on such techniques for the general public to possibly consider these ideas for the buildings they see around them. This project has been extremely enriching for me and I hope that this glimpse into the process has done the same for you.

According to Delhi Chamber of Commerce, the economic cost loss of Rs 25,000 crore in business and properties is estimated during the riots in Northeast Delhi that have taken at least 42 lives.

Deadly Riots in Delhi Have Investors Rethinking India’s Future. (Source: BloombergQuint)

The death toll in the recent violence on North East Delhi has risen to 53. A large number of houses, shops, vehicles were damaged during the riots.Trade bodies have estimated a loss of $34.65 billion. Based on media reports, about 500 vehicles, 92 houses, 57 shops, 6 godowns, 4 factories, 2 schools and 4 religious places were burnt during the riots. The Delhi Police has registered 167 FIRs and arrested over 880 people in connection with the violence.

Northeast Delhi is dominated by Muslim owned businesses, many of which suffered colossal damage in the past week. Many people returning now to their localities are not able identify their homes. Mohammad Moinuddin’s two-story shop at the Maujpur area of northeast Delhi was set on fire on Feb. 24 as reported by India Today.

While the local Delhi government, on Saturday, announced to hand over $6,869 each to owners of uninsured commercial units, many people say it does not compensate for their losses.

“What will I do with this amount? My shop and the stocks it had cost 20 times more. This amount will hardly help. I wish they would find ways to help us get back our businesses,” added Moinuddin as reported by India Today.
JACL Issues Statement on Muslim Ban Expansion

With a background in advocacy, Jesse Cheng is an intern at Assura Public Relations, where he is responsible for marketing and advocating on behalf of small businesses. Alongside this role, Jesse Cheng is a member of several charitable and industry organizations, including the Orange County Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL).

The non-profit, which advocates on behalf of Japanese-Americans around the country, recently responded to the expansion of President Donald Trump’s “Muslim Ban.” JACL noted the impact the previous version of the ban had, including making it impossible for some college students to pursue their education and separating families.

The expansion, which came into effect at the end of January, added Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Sudan, Tanzania, Eritrea, and Nigeria to a list of countries whose citizens are prohibited from entering the U.S. JACL claims that the move continues a pattern of discrimination by the government against people of color, with the organization standing against such policies.

‘Imam charter’ by Macron raises fears of state control over Islam of France

‘Imam charter’ by Macron raises fears of state control over Islam of France Qasimjamila Jan 27·1 min read

The French Council of Muslim Faith (CFCM) last week adopted the “Imam charter”, which sets out a framework for Muslim faith leaders to transform Islam in France into an “Islam of France”, at the behest of France’s President Emmanuel Macron.

Macron had tasked the CFCM, the de facto representative of Muslim faith federations to the French government, with drafting a charter of allegiance to republican values in October.

According to snippets leaked in the press, Macron had warned: “Some will sign and some will not and from that we will draw consequences. Either you’re with the Republic or you’re not with the Republic.”

Macron has called several times for the creation of an Islam of “the Enlightenment” while stopping short of clarifying what that might constitute.

This appears to be rooted in a desire to designate the French government as the body that sets out the framework of Islam in France, comparable to restructuring Catholicism by removing all papal influence. But that begs the question of why Paris is reframing the “Islam of France” — and for whom.

The Importance of Hijab in the Fashion World
By: Nm Webmaster
Tags: Muslim

Moving to a fashion world is not limited to age, gender, nationality, and religion. Muslims can also have a beautiful and fashionable style and work in the fashion world. Recently, fashion companies have shown that they tend to use hijab in their designs and designs. Many brands across the globe have been formed for this purpose. In the series of fashion articles and veil in Benita, we will introduce these brands. This time, we are going to give some brands that offer hijab collections on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.

Since the fashion world began to work on veiling, it has been around for nearly two years and has become one of the emerging sectors in the fashion industry. Collections such as Hijab Delche and Gobanah Collection, Nike Brand Hijab Collection for athletes are examples of brands of wearing and Islamic clothing. Interestingly, the clients of these collections are not the only Muslim women, but women and girls of non-Muslims also use veil collections for their influence on the history of Muslim bloggers and the comfort they wear in dresses. Following this development, brands such as Mendoza, Zara, Tommy Hilfeiger, Delche Gabbana and other brands began to design and deliver a collection of clothing for the holy month of Ramadan. These suits include scarves, abaya, and maxi dresses.

In 2017, London was presented with a live show entitled “Muslim lifestyle, with the Modanisa brand, witnessing the first week of hijab fashion, and in the show, Halima Aden, one of the most famous models of the veil to display clothes. Dresses designed and manufactured for the holy month of Ramadan and participation in the Majlisi like feasts and feasts.

A lot of brands work in this area during Ramadan, and their focus is on the design of scarves and abaya. One of the brands that are slightly different and offers more versatile designs for the veil is the Diana Kotb brand, which in the next section of the fashion and hijab series will introduce this brand. The different designs of this brand distinguish it from other hijab international brands.

One of the most recent Ramadan collections is one of the pioneers of the industry and one of the first brands to combine fashion with veils, the brand Delchet and Gabbana. The brand has also been using one of the Muslim bloggers to display these clothes.

How Do You Know There is a God? — MuslimGap
Tags: Muslim Americans, Muslim, Islamic, Islam

“Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?” (Quran Surah 52. Ath Thuur verse 35)

During my first year at UCLA, I decided to go to a Dawah workshop held by one of the brothers involved in the MSA. The goal of the workshop was to teach Muslims how to share our faith with non-Muslims. I thought it would be a lecture where I would sit and listen to a speaker for about an hour. When I got there, the first question the speaker asked us was: “How do you know God exists?” He began going around and asking each one of us, and I started to get nervous because I never really thought of this question. There were a few people answering before me, which gave me a bit of time to think. I was anxious because I felt that I did not have enough religious knowledge to even answer. Brothers and sisters were giving all sorts of responses such as scientific proof and other evidence shown in the Qur’an. Then, it was my turn to answer.

“How do you know there is a God?” he asked. I could not really think of any clever responses, so I just gave the simplest answer that popped into my head. “I just know He does. I know because every time I hear recitation of the Qur’an or listen to a lecture about Islam; I get this feeling in my heart that is unexplainable.” It is a feeling that gives me goose bumps, but at the same time accompanies calmness.

It has been three years since I attended the lecture, and I know that I will never forget this question. I continue to think about it, and realized that there are so many answers to this question and each time I think about it, my answer changes. One particular scenario that I once heard in an Islamic lecture really helped me think about the existence of God. The speaker told us to imagine being alone in a desert, and then spotting a cell phone on the sand. You then ask yourself: could that cellphone somehow randomly appear on its own? Did all the parts somehow magically come together? No, someone had to design the phone, make the chip, etc. The wind did not just bring all the parts together creating this phone; there had to be a creator. Similarly, the human body, system and organs could not have randomly come together to form a human being. Just looking at the details of the human eye and heart alone, I know Allah (SWT) is the only plausible explanation.

I want to share this experience because the question may sound simple, but we sometimes forget to just pause and think about it. The answer is difficult because the response is different for each of us. Having this thought in the back of my mind has helped me become more God conscious and feel closer to my creator. Take a few minutes and try to answer it: How do you know God exists? Feel free to comment so we may all benefit insha’Allah. May Allah (SWT) strengthen our relationship with him.
Ashura Fast🌺

Ashura Fast🌺

🍀The reason for naming this day is Ashura

The author of the end mentioned that it is an Islamic name by which the tenth day of Muharram was named and Some of them mentioned that he was named so because of the occurrence of ten events, but there is no evidence for this

God knows.

🍀The reason for fasting on this day

The day of Ashura, God saved Moses, peace be upon him, from Pharaoh. In the two Sahihs on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, he said: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting Ashura, so he said: What is this? They said: A Blessing day on which God saved Moses and the Israelis from their enemy, so Moses fasted on it. The day of Ashura, God saved Moses, peace be upon him, from Pharaoh. In the two Sahihs on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, he said: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting Ashura, so he said: What is this? They said: A Blessing day on which God saved Moses and the Israelis from their enemy, so Moses fasted on it.

blessed day…. Ashura

🍀Virtues of Ashura fasting

In a Hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, the Prophet s.a.w said:

“The best of fasts after the month of Ramadan is in the Month of Allah, which you call Muharram”

(Sahih Muslim)

Ibn Abbas r.a reported that Rasulullah s.a.w prioritised the fast on the day of Ashura over other days, besides the days in Ramadan, he said:

“I have never seen Rasulullah s.a.w so eager to fast like he is for Ashura and prioritising it, besides Ramadan.”

(Sahih Muslim)

However, it is important to note that fasting on the day of Ashura is a voluntary act (sunnah) and not an obligation (wajib), as the Prophet s.a.w mentioned:

“Fast if you wish and those who do not, are not obliged to do so.”

(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim mentioned that there are three levels of fasting on Ashura, the first one being ‘the best’ and most complete, followed by the other degrees accordingly:

1. Fasting for 3 consecutive days, 9,10 & 11 Muharam.

2. Fasting on 9 and 10 Muharram only.

3. Fast on the 10th of Muharram only.
Where Adventures Live
By: Samet Faruque
Tags: Discovery, Adventure, Quran, Muslim, Islam

“It is He who made the earth tame for you — so walk in its paths and eat of His provision — and to Him is the resurrection.” (Surah Mulk, 67:15) A reflection on the beauty of earth, experiencing its adventures and where adventures live.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيم

Iِn the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Discovering the earth is a beautiful, lawful and pure entertainment. In the process you get to have adventures that last, memories that remain and abiding bonds between family and friends. It is a way of getting closer to your Lord, having fun, enjoying life, and experiencing a blessed joy and amazement.

It is time we rekindled the spirit of adventure within us, travel, discover and experience the earth, and walk its paths.

هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِهِ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

“It is He who made the earth tame for you — so walk in its paths and eat of His provision — and to Him is the resurrection.” (Surah Mulk, 67:15)

The word translated “paths” has different interpretations, including borders, paths, shoulders, etc.

Discover new things and untrodden lands.

وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَئُوهَا ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا

And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And ever is Allah , over all things, competent. (Al Ahzab, 33:27)

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا

لِّتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا

And Allah has made the earth for you as an outspread (rug),

That you may travel along thereof by ways, passes. (Nuh, 71:19–20)

Look at the sky decked with a countless stars, and be lost in its wonders and signs.

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest sky with an adornment of stars. (As-Saffat, 37:6)

Experience the sweet breeze, the lush greenery, the refreshing aroma of flowers and spring, and the varying colors.

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

And whatever He created for you on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember. (An Nahl, 16:13)

I gazed — and gazed — but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought

[William Woodsworth, poem on Daffodils]

Explore the rivers and seas, feel the cool breeze, and enjoy the ride in ferries and ships.

وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

And you see the ships plowing through it, and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.(An Nahl, 16:14)

وَأَنْهَارًا وَسُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

And rivers and roads, that you may be guided. (Al Nahl, 16:15)
Introduction to Islam
Tags: Ramadan, Allah, Muslim, Islam

(This blog is created by artificial intelligence)

Islam is the world’s second-largest religion, with over 1.6 billion followers worldwide. It’s also one of the youngest major religions in existence — Islam was founded by Muhammad just 600 years after Christianity. Islam teaches that there is only One God and that Muhammad was His final prophet and messenger sent to guide mankind back onto the right path. Muslims believe that all previous prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus were sent by God as well; their messages have been distorted or lost over time but can be found within the Qur’an (Koran) and Hadith (sayings and actions of the prophet).

The Quran is the only property of Allah and was revealed to Muhammad in a series of divine messages. Each message and revelation was accompanied by an Angel; either Gabriel, Michael, Israfel or Azrael (the Angel of Death). The Angel would speak to Muhammad through dreams, visions or physically. The revelations occurred during the month of Ramadan and were later compiled after Muhammad’s death into one book: the Qur’an, which is considered the primary source of religious guidance for Muslims.

The Five Pillars of Islam are duties incumbent on every Muslim; demonstrating their Faith through action and abstaining from certain forms of behavior (such as harming oneself). These duties were created to provide structure and guidance for the Muslim community. They include:

The Shahadah (Declaration of Faith) is the first pillar; it’s what defines a person as a Muslim (if he/she says “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his Prophet,” they’ve completed the Shahadah and officially become a Muslim). The second pillar is Salat; Muslims pray five times a day to honor Allah and show gratitude for everything He provides them with. Zakat (the third pillar) makes up 2.5% of all wealth and is paid to the poor or given in charity, it’s also used for general community development projects. The fourth pillar is Sawm, which is fasting during the month of Ramadan to discipline one’s self and purify his or her body and soul. Hajj (the fifth pillar) is a pilgrimage that every able-bodied Muslim must undertake at least once in their life; it’s an obligation that can be fulfilled during different times of the year.

Muslims fast, pray and give to charity multiple times; there is no specific “Muslim” way of dressing or behaving. They value modesty, patience, honesty and knowledge above all else; praying gives them a chance to remember Allah on a regular basis.

Brand new phenomenon we are facing off right now, SARS-CoV-2 virus spreading, force us to do all stuff at home and in a distance. To cut back the spreading of the virus, physical distancing valued as the best way to do it. Covid-19 just carved new world’s history. Some of companies issued new policy to make their employees work from home. Schools are dismissed. Bunch of university students came back home. Seminars, creative class, competitions and some events sort of it was done online, postponed, or even canceled. We have to do all activities at home as much as we can and stay away from the crowd. And to me it has been some two months.

No more morning showering (lol), no more going to class, no more walking around with friends, no more staying at library, no more going nowhere, and the worst one, no more going to mosque for praying and do all the ramadhan stuff as we used to do. It is so sad, obviously. But nothing we can do except accepting all of it and always trying to find out the good one from it. You know, all things happend for a reason and we just still do not know yet the reason behind it. So, let us keep those sabr (patience) and positive thinking we got. A lot of people out there suffering even worse, a lot worse, than what we are suffering (maybe just ‘boredom’ huh?).

If you are still questioning why everythings happened this way and why it happened to us? The aswer will be as the same answer for question of ‘why islam is so restrictive?’ or ‘why I (muslim) do have to be different than anybody else?’.

Because the majority of mankind, they don’t want to be guided (Yusuf: 103). And Allah wants to distinguish us from most of all the man kind, those who don’t want to have higher goals and just want to live their life in hedonisme.

“Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way”. Al-Furqan [25:44]
Story of Prophet Adam (AS), Life of Adam (AS)
By: Babla Ali
Tags: Prophet Adam, Prophet, Muslim, Blog, Islam

Story of Prophet Adam (AS)

A long long time ago…

Allah (s.w.t) created the sun. The moon, and the earth.

After creating these, he saw that his creation was incomplete. So he asked his angels to collect clay from the earth. The obedient angels collected clay and Allah made a man like figure with it. And the god named him Adam (AS).

But the figure didn’t move for forty long years. It just stood still there. When Iblis saw this figure, he was confused and scared. And after forty long years one day..

Allah (s.w.t) breathed his spirit into Adam (AS)!

When the spirit reached the head of the figure, it sneezed. When the spirit reached his eyes, he saw all the amazing food lying around. Then the spirit reached his stomach and Adam (AS) felt hungry. The Prophet had seen the fruits lying around so before the spirit could even reach his legs, he jumped towards the fruits. Adam (AS) fell down as he couldn’t move his legs. Then, Allah asked all the angels including Iblis (Shaytan) to prostrate before Adam (AS) as a sign of respect. One by one all the angels prostrate before the Prophet except Iblis!

Iblis said that he was better than the Prophet and he was made from fire. Allah got angry with this disobedience so he banished Iblis (Shaytan) from paradise. From that day, Iblis was called as the Shaytan! And he was thrown into the hell! Shaytan was now very angry with the humans as he was banished from the paradise. Because of them, he wowed to take revenge by misleading the humans.

Allah then taught Adam (AS) the names of every animal in paradise. The lion, the sheep, camel, elephant, dove, peacock and many many more..

Allah told the Prophet Adam (AS) that he was allowed to eat every fruit in the garden, except one. Allah told the Prophet Adam (AS) that he should not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge and that it was forbidden and he spent most of his time playing with animal in paradise.

After a few years, the Prophet Adam (AS) became lonely as there were no other humans in paradise. Allah (s.w.t) saw this. So decided to give Adam (AS) a wife. That night when the Prophet was sleeping Allah (s.w.t) created the first woman. When the Prophet Adam (AS) woke up he was happy to see the woman He then named her Hawwa (Eve), because she was made from something living. Both of them lived happily in paradise for a long time. Shaytan was still angry at the humans. Many years had passed by. So Shaytan knew that the Prophet Adam (AS) must have forgotten the words of Allah (s.w.t).

Action plan to Maximize your Ibadah in Last 10 days of Ramadan
By: Sana Fatima
Tags: Ibadah, Ramadan, Laylatul Qadr, Muslim, Islam

Aaishah (رضي الله عنه) said… “With the start of last 10 days of Ramadan, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to tighten his waist-belt (i.e. work harder) and used to pray all night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers” — Bukhari

As we approach the last 10 days of the blessed month of Ramadan, let’s implore each other to tighten your waist-belt and increase your acts of Ibadah, especially during the nights. So that, you may be one of those who will be privileged to witness the night of Majesty.

Last 10 days of Ramadan To-do List:

Recite the Quran everyday Do lots of Dhikr and Dua Pray Tahajjud every night Pray voluntary prayers everyday Give Charity everyday

5 Step Action Plan for Laylatul Qadr

Take a nap during the day so you can stay up the whole night

Aaishah (رضي الله عنه) said, “Prophet ﷺ would pray and sleep during the 20 days (of Ramadan), then during the last 10 he would stay awake and tighten his belt” — Ahmad

Don’t overeat when breaking the fast, it makes you lazy

Divide your Iftar into 2 meals. First, eat a date, some fruit and hydrate. Then, pray Maghrib. Return to eat your second meal. The prayer break in the middle will weaken your appetite making you eat less.

Take a bath between Maghrib and Isha

The Salaf would love to bathe every night of the last 10 nights” — Ibn Rajab

The scholar explained that it is not appropriate for an intimate conversation to take place with a King except after purification and beautification.

Diversify your Sadaqa

Give some to the Masjid, online — Some local and some international.

Think! This night is more valuable than a 1000 months. That means donating ₹100 on this night is like doing it repeatedly for 30,000 nights!

Repeat the dua for Laylatul Qadr
Let’s Talk About Islam
By: Bryan White
Tags: Judaism, Christianity, Bible Study, Muslim, Islam

Islam has its roots in Judaism. Abraham had an extra marital affair with Hagar and they had a son Ishmael and Muhammad is a descendant of Ishmael. So the entire Arab people has the same father of the Jewish race, Abraham.

The Quran was given by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad and the Quran also worships a monotheistic GOD Allah. This holy book is about as large as the New Testament. Which I would never even claim to understand because it is common knowledge that the English language translation is inferior to its origins in Arabic.

One could easily argue that Allah and Yahweh are very similar. GOD after all proclaimed that he would bless Ishmael and his descendants the Arab people.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+21&version=GW

Did the GOD of Abraham provide the Quran to the Arab people? We are told specifically in Genesis that he has a plan for them.

In no way would I ever pretend to know Islam, I’ve lived in a Islamic country before and can tell you that they are a very devoted people. As I boarded my plane an Islamic woman was praying for our safety to Allah and as I walked by I felt the power of that prayer to be real and authentic.

However, as in the development of Christianity which had The Crusades, Islam also has to find its way out of conflict with the world.

The word terrorist and Islam needs to separate more than ever before. I know there are Muslims out there that cringe when they hear “Islamic Terrorism” much in the same way I would cringe to hear “Christian Terrorism”.

But wait a moment, we did have Christian Terrorism, they called it The Crusades. The Crusades in Christianity was a time that no one wants to admit or speak of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades and then we had the Inquisition. The Inquisition was a powerful office set up within the Catholic Church to root out and punish heresy throughout Europe and the Americas. Beginning in the 12th century and continuing for hundreds of years, the Inquisition is infamous for the severity of its tortures and its persecution of Jews and Muslims.

It's my belief that Islam is or has gone through this same process and hopefully will see the error of its ways. The priests of Islam have a significant amount of authority over its congregation. We even have countries that are bound by Islamic law. I see plenty of law, I see plenty of devotion, I don’t see much love which means the Jesus solution presented to the Jews is also very much needed for Islam.

Going back to understanding Why am I here? What am I to do? And Where am I going? It seems to be harder to find in Islam but I am also sure it could be found and many disciples have found it.

In Christian scripture, GOD has a plan for the Muslim people. It's very clear and cannot be denied. We must at least consider that Yahweh and Allah could be more similar than seperate. This also makes the story of Jesus even more appealing to a Muslim knowing they are of Jewish ancestry.

The legend behind Eid-ul-Adha is that when Prophet Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his beloved possession — his son, God replaced the body of his son with a ram. Prophet Ibrahim’s act of willingness to obey God’s command is a lesson that we must obey God’s command and he in return will always safeguard our possessions.

Day 13: Seeking permission before entering houses other than your own — Part 1
By: Abdulquadri Alaka
Tags: Quran, Humanity, Tafseer, Muslim, Islam

«(and greeted their occupants)»— the manner in which this is to be done is mentioned in the hadith: « As-salamu ‘alaykum (peace be upon you); may I come in?» (Recorded by Abu Dawood; al-Albani graded it as sound) «(that)» namely seeking permission to enter «(is better for you, so that you may pay heed)», because it will serve many interests, and because it is part of the noble characteristics that are required of the Muslim. f he is given permission, then he may enter, but «(If you do not find anyone therein, do not enter them until you are given permission. If you are told to go back, then go back)» that is, do not refuse to go back, and do not get angry about it, because the owner of the house is not depriving you of a right that you must have. Rather he has the choice: if he wishes he may give you permission to enter, or he may refuse. So no one should feel offended or annoyed in that case. «(that is more proper for you)» that is, it is more effective in protecting you from falling into sin, and it helps you to do more good. «(And Allah is well aware of all that you do)» He will requite each person for his deeds, whether they were many or few, good or otherwise. This ruling applies to inhabited houses, whether one is going there for a purpose or not, and to uninhabited houses for which one has no need to enter them.
Jannah for One Dirham
By: Tālib Al Ilm, An Epistemophile
Tags: Heaven, Advice, Sunnah, Muslim, Islam

Imaam Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) was a great Muhaddith and luminary of this Ummah. He was born in 202 A.H. and passed away in 275 A.H. His name was Sulaimaan bin Ash‘ath (rahimahullah), though he was more well known by his kunyah (filial title) of ‘Abu Dawood’. (Siyaru Aa’laamin Nubalaa vol. 13, pgs. 204 & 221)

Allah Ta‘ala blessed the hadeeth compilation of Imaam Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) with such acceptance that his kitaab, commonly referred to as ‘Sunan Abi Dawood’, is counted among the six authentic compilations of hadeeth that are taught in madrasahs around the world.

From the many outstanding qualities that he possessed, one quality that stands out in particular is his love for the sunnah and commitment to practising on the sunnah.

On one occasion, Imaam Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) was aboard a ship when he heard a person on the shore sneeze and recite the sunnah du‘aa saying, “Alhamdulillah”.

On hearing the person sneeze, Imaam Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) immediately hired a small boat, for the fee of one dirham (silver coin), and requested to be taken from the ship to the shore. When he arrived at the shore, he went to the person who had sneezed and replied to his sneeze in the sunnah manner by saying, “Yarhamukallah”, and thereafter returned to the ship.

When Imaam Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) was asked as to why he had underwent the difficulty of leaving the ship and traveling to the shore to reply to the person who had sneezed, he replied, “It is possible that the person who sneezed is one whose du‘aas are readily accepted.”

In other words, apart from replying to the sneeze being a blessed sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), it has the added benefit of acquiring the du‘aa of the one who sneezed, as he will reply saying, “Yahdeekumullah” (may Allah Ta‘ala guide you). If this person’s du‘aa is accepted, then one will be blessed with divine guidance from Allah Ta‘ala.

That night, when the people aboard the ship went to sleep, they were told in a dream, “O people aboard the ship! Abu Dawood (rahimahullah) has purchased Jannah from Allah Ta‘ala in exchange of one dirham!”

Patience in Islam, Reward of Patience in Quran and Hadith

In Islam Patience in Islam, Reward of Patience in Quran and Hadith, the unique adjectives of the Supreme have been specially described in order to make man an ideal human being with all kinds of human qualities. Humans can form their own character by possessing these qualities. One of the praiseworthy qualities of the Islamic way of life is ‘chabad’ or patience.

Man is social being. But not all people in one society will agree. There are many different ways of thinking and thinking. By giving freedom of thought and variety, Allah Ta’ala has made human society more diverse and aesthetic. Islam tolerates tolerance for other views, differences of opinion, tolerance.

Islam does not just sit in command — peace, patience, tolerance and sympathy and respect for the absolute — but also creates a safe environment and environment for achieving this noble quality. Every believer, men and women, multiplied by patience and patience, made it necessary for the pursuit of a full one-month fast in order to build a peaceful and harmonious society.

People are naturally impatient. Hurry up and do any work. Later, when the result is contrary to expectation, one can understand the result because of haste or impatience. To be successful in this world and to be saved in the Hereafter, one must have patience or patience in this worldly life. To meet expectations and expectations, patience is essential to achieving the goals and objectives. Impatient, unstable, playful nature does not bring success in people’s lives. Success is the prerequisite for patience in all things, whether earthly or unprofitable.

Ibn Miskawaih discusses knowledge in the background of his concept of soul, which can achieve the knowledge of ultimate reality and possesses rational knowledge. He considered knowledge as the basis of good character and says the root of all virtues is knowledge so in the acquisition of knowledge lays human perfection. Also, Islamic education does not separate between humanism and citizenship. It indicates the humanism but not mentioned citizenship, because it including in largest circle. There is no question that the Muslim being had to behave the same behaviour everywhere. As well as education for reconciliation between individual and community. Muhammad Iqbal, the goal of education is "the creation of men", he balances the concern for individuality with an active and responsible social reformation. Islam recognizes the autonomy of individual and his needs, in the same time individual ought to communicate with others. Ibn Khaldon shows why people need to co-operate each other.

"A single human being cannot live by himself, and his existence can materialize only in association with his fellow men. (Alone) he would be unable to have a complete existence and lead a complete life.

“From both of them emerge pearl and coral. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” Reflections on what fascinates me: the sea.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum. The sea fascinates me. It is one of the creations of Allah that is amazing and wondrous, filled with adventures and discovery.

مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ * بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخٌ لَّا يَبْغِيَانِ * فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

He merged the two seas meeting together; Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? (Surah Ar-Rahman, 55:19–21)

Sometimes we need to take breaks and visit places, and contemplate on Allah’s creation, so our faith is renewed, and we witness signs of Allah’s greatness, and His power and might, and His control and dominion, and wonders and miracles.

يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ * فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

From both of them emerge pearl and coral. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? (Surah Ar-Rahman, 55:22–23)

The sea is vast, yet if it were ink for the words of Allah, it would be exhausted.

وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

And if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. (Surah Luqman, 31:27)

Exalted are You, our Lord, how Great you are!

Exalted are You, our Lord, how Honourable you are!

Exalted are You, our Lord, how Forbearing you are!

Exalted are You, our Lord, how Merciful you are!

وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ

And His Throne had been upon water (Surah Hud, 11:7)

There is no god but You. Exalted are You. Indeed we have been of the wrongdoers.

وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَن لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ * فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُنجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
