Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Now as we all know for the last few weeks, all we have heard is MPs and their extravagant expense claims. Many are being asked to stand down from their post and many are now being investigated further – whichever way you look at it, it ain’t good!
But one thing [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
As I was going to the Masjid (Mosque) to pray Asr yesterday, I met one of my friends from way back.  Quickly walking into the Masjid, I asked him how he was (as you do!), to which he replied with the strangest comment.
He said, ‘Oh you know, work, home, work, [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
So why have there been no posts on Hidayahblog recently?  What have I been doing for the last couple of weeks?
Well first of all I have to apologise.  Factors including coming home late from work (I know, it’s no excuse!), organising the recent practical demonstration on how to wash a [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Well after Savile Youth’s recent victory, I thought I would catch up with their Manager/Secretary Ozayr and ask him about what happened in the final.  Instead, he e-mailed me a full history of Savile Youth’s season so far – it wasn’t exactly what I asked for but it’s good enough [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Alhumdulillah (all Praise belongs to Allah) the practical demonstration on how to give Ghusl (wash) to a dead body went ahead (without any power cuts!) and for me, it was extremely informative and interesting.
The two demonstrators together with help from Moulana Ilyas Dalal, the Imam of Zakaria Masjid and owner [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum -Peace be Upon you
Alhumdulillah (all Praise belongs to Allah) I count myself very lucky indeed to have heard the talk by Moulana Zahidur Rashdi in Zakaria Masjid on Sunday 19 April 2009.
It was billed as the challenges facing the Muslims and was indeed a very refreshing, and thought-provoking talk by the scholar.
He focussed on [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Someone asked me how I was finding fatherhood; well the answer is it is a bundle of joy.   Each day is unique, each day my little princess does something new, every giggle, and smile just brings you so much joy.
So many mornings I have got up to go to work [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Well here’s a great example of how amazing and Great our Lord is, another example of how He has not forgotten about anything, not left anything to chance in this Universe He has created…..
It’s a snapshot of life in the animal kingdom and how Allah has given some animals the [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
Well life goes on as they say.  After major events in our lives, we start falling back into our routines, get caught up in the little troubles and worries that life throws at us and eventually start losing focus on the bigger picture – at least that happens to me!
And [...]

Assalaamu-Alaykum – Peace be Upon you
I’ve always loved watching nature programmes/documentaries.
For me and indeed for a lot of people, it is a chance to see the creation and the Greatness of Allah up close and learning and understanding His system.  Indeed, it is through watching the life and order of the natural world that Allah [...]
