The Soul

  SLEEP Assalamu al a ikum wara h matu lalh i wabarakatu hu!   Would you like to know what happens when you sleep?? Allah says in the Quran: It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death;  and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep:   those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life),but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed.Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect. Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42 This means: every time you sleep, Allah takes your souls,amongst many other souls he takes during sleeping. Then Allah decides who is going to be given another chance. For those who are blessed with another chance, Allah will permit their souls to go back to their bodies, the rest he keeps back from returning to life   i.e.they die.

IS IT HARAM FOR MUSLIMS TO DONATE BLOOD OR ACCEPT BLOOD FROM A NON-MUSLIM?

I have been told its Haram for Muslims to donate blood as equivalent to organ donor. I wonder how far it is true. Since non Muslims eat pork and drink beer is it ok to accept blood from a non-Muslim? (Question Asked By: Sister Maria Khan) AlHamdu Lillah, thank you for your trust and for this important question. May Allah reward you for the desire to acquire, practice and spread the correct knowledge of our Deen, Aa’meen. First of all we must understand that Allah The Almighty and His Prophet (Peace be upon him) made it obligatory for us to do all we can to save a life  "without any prejudice and without jeopardizing another life." In Surah Al-Maidah 5:32 Allah The Almighty says ; "….and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind."

Don’t be Sad

Don't be Sad by Azim Kidwai Life can be tough these days. It genuinely seems like we are stuck in a rat race – work is boring, family is difficult, you just can't find the social network and warm feeling of brother/sisterhood, and of course, you're still single. And then on top of all this, mum is not well and dad has passed away. This may resonate with a lot of you or parts of this may, and the consequences of all this are that many of us circumnavigate life through bouts of depression.  We feel a sadness that sometimes we do not know quite how to overcome. We feel an anxiety that we have no idea what it stems from. Ultimately what we find is that despite all the pleasures of the world, we are still fighting a sadness, anxiety and a feeling of sorrow, which manifest in different ways. So why is this? Unquestionably the reality of this situation is the gulf between our lifestyle and the prophetic example. When we find ourselves facing any

Shawwal Fasts

For verily the Reminder benefits the Believers:- Shawwal Fasts Did you know... While the Ramadhan month promises all manners of rewards in the hereafter due to its uniqueness, the month of Shawal (the Islamic month following Ramadan) also offers comparable pleasures if observed with faith and piety to Allah Almighty. In the month of Shawal, the Muslim community will celebrate Eidul Fitr. This month is regarded as the month of victory for Muslims who have succeeded in completing their fast properly. The victory referred to is victory against temptations and in training the soul (spirit) as well as physical (body) to obey and always be conscious of the greatness of Allah Almighty. Our souls celebrate Eid ul Fitr with joy for having completed the month-long fast. The day's celebration is even more joyous when accompanied by rituals extolling Allah's greatness through takbir, tahmid and tasbih throughout the night before Eid day, as well as in the mornin
