A will safeguards our responsibilities—ensuring […]
Sins, no matter how small they may appear, have a profound effect on the heart and our relationship with Allah. Ibn Ata’illah, in his Hikam, reminds us: “Do not look at the smallness of the sin, but look at the greatness of the One you disobeyed.” This wisdom urges us to shift our focus from […]
Gratitude is a cornerstone of faith, and one of the greatest ways to express it is through honoring and caring for our parents.

Praying Tahajjud holds immense spiritual weight and was a practice especially emphasized for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
