As if you were created exactly as you wished. – Hassan Ibn Thabit (RA)Allah has never sent a Prophet except that Prophet had a beautiful face and a beautiful voice.

Ali ibn Abi Talib said: ‘The life of this world is quickly departing and the life of the hereafter is quickly approaching and each one of them has its children. So be children of the hereafter, not children of this world. For today there are deeds without reckoning, but tomorrow there will be reckoning without deeds. In this life even an atoms’ worth of good is accepted if it is done with sincerity. In the hereafter, the whole world in gold will do you no good. In every moment of the day of Judgment, from the moment you rise from their grave to when you take your place in the assembly. From when you are brought forth to be held accountable by your Lord, to when you are taken to the scale for the scrolls to be weighed, from when you prepare to cross the bridge to your anticipated arrival at the gates of Paradise. There are good deeds that You have sent forth that will come to your aid. Deeds that will take you by your hand and testify on your behalf, that will settle your feet and shade you from the scorching heat. That will light your way in the darkness and guide you to the abode of eternal delight. So do not ask your Lord when the day of Judgment will be, but ask yourself what deeds have you prepared for that day.

The Prophet ? said that there is no deed better in the sight of Allah SWT, or more greatly rewarded than a good deed that is done in the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah.

This short, yet informative book will take you on a journey to understand the hidden gems that one can avail from during the blessed month of Dhul-Hijjah

Whatever our situation may be in this life, a life of struggle or comfort, our inevitable fate is the same as the life of this world is temporary. O believer, this world is not meant to be your paradise, but knowing that Paradise awaits, makes this journey so much more bearable and rewarding. Remember that every difficulty is a right, after all your struggles, all your tests, and trials know that your eternal sanctuary awaits. Jannah, that is built by your deeds and decorated by your du'as. Chalets of crystals sparkling on the horizon for a soul that gave up sin, tree trunks of green emerald and branches of gold for a simple word of remembrance. Each of your shuddering breaths, every second of discomfort you faced, and every one of your sacrifices, all have been accounted for, repaid with sights and rewards unimaginable and the company of the Most High. Build your eternal home, decorate your eternal home. Long for your eternal home...

You will never understand why you’re here if you don’t know the One who brought you here. You will never understand why you were blessed with something, if you don’t know what it means to be a blessing yourself. You will never understand why you’re in pain, if you don’t believe in the virtue of patience. You will never make sense of this life, if you don’t believe in an afterlife. You will never know who you are, if you don’t know who you want to become. You will never know where you are going, if you don’t know where you came from. We live in a world full of suffering which is meant to wake us from our slumber. But if we constantly dwell on what we feel has missed us, we may be missing out on a far greater sense of purpose and self-worth. A life with less confusion and more certainty. A life of meaning where we learn to live in harmony with divine decree, so that we could get to know our Lord who created us and our stories. You may have asked before, why me? But have you ever asked, why not me?

One should never underestimate the power of du’a as it can change your destiny. The Prophet Muhammad used to make certain du’as in certain situations, but what if one feels that they are not worthy of calling upon Allah or just simply don’t know how. When you look through the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad, you don’t just find the words that match your situation, you also find a beautiful approach to your Lord as a whole. When you understand your Creator better and learn how to call upon Him like the prophet Muhammad did, you will also understand the world around you better and become more focussed. This short book includes 26 wonderful du’as (supplications) in Arabic with English translation and related commentary, as taught to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

One of the most beautiful portions of the Qur’an describes a detailed manual for how a believer should live their life. How one becomes Ibadur Rahman, the servant of the most Merciful. It encompasses multiple elements and dimensions of worship, family life, character, reflection, and living as a community. These key qualities, if properly implemented in our lives, will allow us to become the true servants that we should all aspire to become. This book will take you on that journey to identify and implement those qualities in your life, solely for the pleasure of Allah.

People sometimes say, “I will see you on the other side.” But how certain can one be of this other plane of existence? Where exactly is that “other side”, and how can you be sure you will reach it? Everything begins with a fundamental truth: those whom we have buried from our loved ones are not truly dead. They have merely passed into a special realm known as the Barzakh, a stage of existence between this life and the Hereafter. In that world, the souls of the deceased continue to live: some in peace, others in torment. The souls of martyrs may dwell in the bodies of green birds, flying freely in Paradise, while others may suffer and drown in rivers of blood. Some are reunited with long-deceased loved ones in beautiful homes, while others are subject to terrifying punishment at the hand of the Angels. What is this realm? Who resides within it? And how does knowledge of this world affect the understanding of our current location? To reflect on the Barzakh is to reflect on our ultimate return to Allah and to reconsider the spiritual path we are on today in a world that is plagued with injustice and confusion.
