Picture the scene:
Your standing in line at the supermarket, when all of a sudden, your attention is distracted by a wafting smell…
This smell, turns out to be quite disgusting and nauseating, so you turn around to find somebody standing in line behind you. Somebody who obviously hasn’t taken the trouble […]
Assalaamu- Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
If you look at Brendan O’ Neill’s article today on the BBC News website, you might find an interesting read…
He talks about the fact that even though we now have more ‘things’ in our possession than we did in the past, even though we have more items in our personal […]
Assalaamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
Alhumdulillah (all Praise belongs to Allah) I met the Imam of Masjid-e-Hidayah, Dewsbury (he is also my friend!!) this weekend.
He gave me a little present, but said that I could only have it on one condition…
The condition being that I share it with everyone else! So, just click on the […]
Assalaamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
With the good news of yet another friend of mine falling prey to the charms of the woman of his dreams (!), I started thinking again (I can hear you thinking, ‘oh no!’)…..
So why do people get married?
What intentions do they have?
Islamically, marriage is a Sunnah (practice) of all the Prophets […]
Assalamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
Well it’s that magical time of the year again!
That time when everybody comes together, shares a good ol’ family meal and sacrifices a lamb…? (Qurbani)
Yes I am of course talking about the up and coming Eid-ul-Adha. Why what were you thinking? Christmas?
Ok, while we’re on the topic of festivals, […]

What does it mean to owe a duty of care?
Well, in essence it means a responsibility owed by someone to someone else.
So you could have a doctor, for example, who has a professional duty of care to his or her patients and also (in this country) to the General Medical Council.
Or […]

To forgive somebody is not an easy thing to do - especially when what they have done has been really hurtful.
Or when you have trusted somebody and they have breached that trust, it’s not easy to put the same stock in that person again.
Indeed, to forgive and forget as the title […]
Assalaamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
What strikes your mind when someone mentions worship?
Most people would answer a ritualistic act performed in a prescribed place in a set manner, or something along those lines.
In Islam, every act done in day-to-day life is considered as worship if done in accordance to the ways prescribed by Allah. Eating, an […]

So what does Islam really have to say on the issue of women?
Does it degrade them? Does it belittle them? Are they ‘lower’ than men?
Well the answers are; no, no and no.
In fact it is quite the opposite.
The advent of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) meant the emancipation for women […]
Assalamu-Alaykum (Peace be Upon you)
Well, in all honesty, I really wanted to do a nice long post, full of references to the Qur’an and Hadith (traditions) of the Prophet (PBUH), but after careful consideration I decided to do a short, sharp intro into the people whom the Muslims regard as the best of the best […]
