The Final Graduation

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

He was stunned. Adam was finally hit by the realization of what had happened. How he had been advised, during high school, to consider it a training period for college. How he had been warned that every assignment and exam would impact him in a big way after joining a university. How he’d heard that there would be stricter requirements and a bigger workload, but that it would be manageable if he learned to balance all of this with his... Read more

Living for the Dunya: Is Ignorance Really Bliss?

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

Imagine that you’re taking a nap, and as you’re dreaming, your subconscious mind takes you to a place that is constantly changing. You’re buying a new shirt for yourself which you recently saw at a department store, when suddenly, you trip on the escalator on your way out of the store, and you end up in a small pool of blood from your own injuries. You’re taken to the hospital, and when the doctor comes to see you, you find... Read more

Look Who’s Talking

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

I talk in my sleep, and I’m not gonna lie, it has led to some really embarrassing and uncomfortable experiences. There are times when I wish I could just turn it off, but I can’t. I don’t know what I’m saying, and somebody else usually tells me the next morning that I was sleep talking, and what I said. An interesting thing about sleep talk is that the person doing it often confesses things about themselves that they normally wouldn’t... Read more

The Fiqh of Being a Decent Person

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

The first results that came up after a Google search for “the fiqh of” were: Marriage Chillin’ Love Marriage in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah Food and clothing Divorce Medicine Worship All of these are important topics, but some of the subjects that are highlighted the most in the Qur’an and sunnah are left off of this list completely- including those related to character.

Tipping the Tower

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

While playing the classic nerve-wracking game Jenga, a player’s main objective is to keep building a taller tower of blocks by removing pieces from the bottom and setting them at the top. But with each piece that’s removed from the stack, the structure becomes more and more unstable, until eventually, it collapses. “Those of you who believe, enter into complete submission (to Allah) and do not follow the footsteps of Shaytan. He’s definitely an open enemy to you.” (2:208) There... Read more

3 Ways to Benefit From Ramadan When You’re Not Fasting

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

When you’re physically unable to fast for long hours due to illness or feminine issues, not being able to fast for some or all of Ramadan can really take a toll on your iman. Here are 3 ways to benefit from Ramadan when you’re unable to fast: 1. Remember that Allah introduced Ramadan as the month of the Qur’an, not the month of fasting. “The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur’an was revealed…” (2:185). Don’t stop reading...

Lean on Him

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

Do you ever really need to talk to someone, or need their help, but they just don’t make time for you? Or when they finally get back to you, it’s too late and they can’t help you anymore? They know you’re going through something, but they still don’t make time for you. Even if they’re not purposely ignoring you, you wish they would just put themselves in your shoes for once. But you’re just left waiting, and waiting… and waiting.... Read more

What It Means to Rely on God

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

There’s a game that’s often played as a trust-building (or team-building) exercise called the Trust Fall, where one person will fall backward into another’s arms, trusting that the person behind them will catch them. They can’t see the other person; they just let themselves go, believing that they won’t hit the ground. There are times when our relationship with Allah resembles the Trust Fall. The outcome of the situation we’re in is out of our hands, and all we can... Read more

Let Me Take a Selfie

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

There’s something that’s making us lose touch with reality; Some think it’s no big deal, but it’s affecting our spirituality. As this global culture shifts and focuses on connection, We’re becoming desensitized to what really deserves reflection. You can capture every moment and save it for later; Take a look at the past- or what’s left of it on paper. A thousand ghosts stare back at you from your overflowing photo book; The skeletons of moments that were killed by... Read more

We Need to Stop Saying “Ramadan Muslims”

Last updated on: December 26, 2019 at 9:25 am By Iman

Every year, as another Ramadan comes and goes, we hear the repeated mention of “Ramadan Muslims.” Some people openly scoff at them, while others whisper about them behind their backs. You know who they are… They’re accused of not taking the obligation of fasting for 30 consecutive days seriously, or not praying 5 times a day while fasting, or not giving up their pre-Ramadan bad habits and sinful lifestyle when the Holy month comes around. The sincerity of their intentions... Read more
