Well it’s that time of the year again…
The time of tears, the time of joy, the time of pain - the time of running around like a manic depressive, pulling your hair out at the same time and screaming at every person that asks you…
“So did you pass?”
I am of course […]

Like many people, having started my new job I have been sent on a number of training courses, many of which I already know (or suppose to know!!!), but as we all say training course is what? - time off work so hey, no-one says no!!!!
Whilst on the course I was […]

My daughter is coming to that wonderful age where she is full of question; difficult questions…
Dad… “Why do we blink?” “how do birds fly?” “why is the sky blue?”. Some times it gets trickier: Her mum is 4 months pregnant; my daughter points to mummy’s belly and enquires “what’s in there?”, […]

Well, as the month of Shabaan is waning and Allah is speeding us towards the long awaited month of Ramadhaan (insha-Allah - with the Will of Allah), I came across this beautiful Hadith (Tradition) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which I think sums up the spirit of the great month […]

The 15th night of Shabaan is known as Laylatul-Baraat. In significance, this night comes next after Laylatul-Qadr (27th […]

Q: You keep on saying that Islam is a way of life, so what does it say on the issue of backbiting, or to use the more modern phrase, gossip?
A: Good question. In Islam, backbiting or gossip is Haram (forbidden), and if a Muslim commits any act which is Haram then […]

Well people, this is a first for us.
A first in the sense that this is the first time we have embedded a video into the post for our wonderful readers to ogle!
The video shows the extraordinary emergence of insects called cicadas every 17 years! It shows an amazing system - a […]

To have parents is a Ne’mah (blessing) from Allah which is priceless.
Just think of all the things your parents have done for you, are doing for you, and what they will continue to do for you.
The love that parents show their children is something which cannot be competently described in words. […]
