I Would Be Careful Even Saying “Explain This Hadith to Me”

There are Muslims today, unfortunately, who very casually say critical things about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  Very casually. They do not realize what they are doing. They do not realize the gravity of speaking casually about him ﷺ.  Let me take you back to the original conversation I had with you. We are living […]

Most of Our Religion Is Attitude. The Khutbahs I Heard Were About Actions. 

The subject I want to talk to you about today is really difficult and honestly I do not know why I chose it.  I have been intimidated by this topic for some time. It has been on my mind for at least three or four years and I have been gathering my thoughts on it that whole time and I still […]

Let me be honest before I start anything. I am pretty intimidated by the subject I am about to cover.  It is something I have been in love with for a long time. Research, study, notes, years of thoughts about it. This is the first attempt I am making to organize all of that and present […]

One Little Emphasis and Allah Is Telling You He Knows How Hard This Is

Somebody said to me, you know, I have been noticing the Quran repeats itself over and over. I have been doing a lot more memorization lately and I noticed this pattern. Do you know why?  Yeah. A lot of people get confused about how the Quran repeats itself. Sometimes the identical phrase is used and sometimes it is the phrase with just a […]

Somebody Asked Me Why Mercy Is Written Twice 

Somebody asked me this.  I am looking at Surah Al-Fatihah right now and I noticed in ayah number three there is Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem (ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ).1 The Lord of mercy, the Giver of mercy.

You Will Never Know the Worth of the Smallest Thing You Do 

Two people each give ten dollars. One of them has eleven dollars in his pocket. The other one owns a million.  Whose ten dollars does Allah appreciate more?  You already know the answer. That is not the hard part. The hard part is that there is no ledger anywhere you can open to find out […]

The Four Things in Surah Al-‘Asr and Why I Say You Are Already Drowning 

Most of us study the Quran a little here, a little there. Some people think they will go through the whole thing in translation first. Some begin with the last juz, just because it is familiar and it is what they have memorized.  It is an ocean and it is almost intimidating. Where do you even begin?  That is how it […]

Inside Bayyinah ARÖMER: What a Summer of Learning Arabic in Istanbul Really Looks Like

A behind-the-scenes look at Bayyinah ARÖMER, our summer Arabic program in Istanbul, from the placement exam to the farewell dinner.
