Sadaqatul jaariyah

by Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. Gifting someone a Qur’an that they will spend years of their life reciting from is an amazing way to enable for yourself a sadaqatul jaariyah (continuous charity).

Please see a simple but effective website below that will help us do this.

All you have to do is donate an amount, choose the copy of the Qur’an you require and place a delivery address of where you would like the Qur’an delivered to.

Yes! You don’t pay for the Qur’an or its delivery. You only donate so that someone else can get their own copy of the Qur’an free with free delivery. And you donate an amount easy for you.

Enjoy building Jannah!

May Allah reward the project and brothers and sisters responsible for this clever initiative. Ameen.

Please share this message with everyone you know and let us build Jannah together!

Your brother,
Sajid Umar

 

Edit: 

Ps. I have just been informed that shipping of the Qur’ans is only within South Africa currently. The project will expand its scope of operation as the project develops.

In terms of completing your process, you must click a Qur’an copy and then follow the completion process thereafter.

Also, there is no obligation to donate. You are able to facilitate a Qur’an delivery with no prior donation.

Baarakallahfeekum.

Islamic Endowments (Awqaaf)

by Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. Below is a collection of Sh. Sajid Umar’s tweets on twitter related to Islamic Endowments (Awqaaf). These tweets are based on inspirations received from his teachers and lessons found in our heritage of Islamic Knowledge.

1. Islam established endowments. The ummah is lacking greatly in the field of endowments generally & knowledge related ones specifically.

2. Endowments did not exist in Arabia prior to Islam. Islam ensured EVERY Muslim developed a responsibility for community development.

3. Zaid bin Thaabit never saw anything as more beneficial to the deceased besides the endowments they established before they passed away!

4. Jaabir (RA) said that there was no able companion, except that they created endowments to the best of their abilities.

5. One of the ways to continue our building of our paradise after we pass away is via continuous charities. An endowment is just that!

6. All endowments are important, however the best endowments are educational based endowments as their benefits are more & last longer.

7. From the benefits of educational based endowments, is that they create individuals that will create and inspire new endowments…

8. A cursory study of the Umayyid and Abbaasid empires prove the presence of endowments, most of which were educational related.

9. We have heard of Azhar and Zaytuna! These life changing institutes were born out of endowments.

10. The greatest scholars we know of are products of programs founded upon endowments. Daar alHadeeth of Damascus is a great study for us!

11. Imams alMizzi, anNawawi, ibn Hajr alAsqalaani, ibn asSalaah, ibn Katheer and others, are from the alumni of Daar alHadeeth!

12. The ummah today is in need of endowments specific for the upkeep of our students of knowledge, scholars, propagators & teachers.

13. A scholar cannot truly inspire & create change whilst remaining under the arm of the rich, relying on them for his daily bread.

14. Students of knowledge cannot really dedicate themselves with all the challenges that capitalism throws at them.

15. Endowments will help bring honour and independence to our scholars and propagators & ensure ‘laser-focus’ attention from our students.

May Allah grant us all the understanding and inspire us to create endowments. Ameen.

I received this amazing video above, and message below regarding it. Amazing wallah…

…

The shepherds take the sheep to graze and leave the babies behind. When they come back, the baby and the Mom call each other! If there is an orphan, one of the mothers would adopt him!
Truly Allah is the most merciful and this is one of the 1% of His mercy which He sent down to this earth and kept 99 for they day of resurrection.

May Allah bestow His mercy upon us and upon our parents.

6 year old helps solve Islamic Inheritance cases!

by Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. Our Messenger (SAW) taught us that one of the first piece of knowledge to be lifted will be the knowledge of Islamic Inheritance.

Please find below a short 8 minute interview with a 6 year old that attended an Islamic Inheritance course with alKauthar Institute in Doha, Qatar this January 2017 (www.alkauthar.org). In this interview he shares some knowledge he gained from the course, and it is pretty amazing – MaShaAllah!

It is my hope that this little interview will help break down any barriers we have when it comes to learning the subject (InShaAllah).

If a 6 year old can; then YES we can :).

Enjoy 🙂 and please share to further our benefit InShaAllah.

Please spare a moment to pray for little Abdullah as well. May Allah increase our knowledge and the knowedge of all the children of the Ummah. Ameen.

Beautiful Patience

by Leave a Comment

Explaining the notion of “beautiful patience” in 12:18, Ibn al-Qayyim says that it is patience in which there is no anxiety. [This is deep as most commentators seem to stop at saying that it is patience without complaint but to have no anxiety either is on another level of contentment with God’s decree].

Then he says, I heard Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah sanctify his soul and enlighten his grave saying, “God mentions beautiful patience [12:18], beautiful pardoning [15:85] and beautiful abandonment [73:10]. So beautiful patience is that with which there is no complaint; beautiful pardoning is that with which there is no reprimand; and beautiful abandonment is that with which there is no insult.”
