No Comments on Instagramadan 1: Finding the Love That We Need

The primary function of the month of Ramadan is to gain taqwa (God-consciousness); meaning to have a true and meaningful relationship with Allah (Exalted be He), to fill your heart with true meaningful love…

How could we gain this taqwa? What does fasting has truly to do with taqwa?

Why food and drink is prohibited during the daylight hours of Ramadan? Our hearts have finite capacity, so how could we empty them out of love of other things to fill them with real feelings? And what are they?

Watch the 1^stepisode of the series of Instagramadan series by Brother AbdelRahman Murphy and learn how to empty our hearts out of the things that stand in the way of having real relationship with Allah…

No Comments on Don’t Let Your Tongue Spoil Your Ramadan

There are things that could possibly spoil our fasting, ruin our Ramadan from the very beginning. One’s tongue is one of these things that could spoil our fasting.

The Prophet (peace be upon them) spoke about some of that and how we could pay attention to its fatal effects.

But, how could we avoid that; take control on on such things?

Take Control on the Tongue

In the video below Sheikh Omar Suleiman talks about one of the things that could stand between us and the blessed month and getting its blessings and how to avoid that in order to reap the benefits of the blessed month.

No Comments on Instagramadan 5: Are You & Allah Close Friends?

Are you & Allah close friends? Reflect for a moment on what makes you and your closest friends closer than other people. Often times you’ll realize it’s the amount and quality of time you spend with each other.

If we measured the amount and quality of time we spend with Allah, what would that tell us about how close we are to Him?

Today’s episode covers three areas of improvement with our relationship with Allah.

Are You & Allah Close Friends?

Instagramadan 6: The Reward of the Fasting Person

No Comments on Instagramadan 6: The Reward of the Fasting Person

Anyone here get hungry or thirsty? Headaches? Tired, maybe? How about irritable? It’s so profound that we are so committed to doing something (fasting) that reduces us to such a minimal form of ourselves.

One of the reasons why Fasting is so difficult at times, is because the reward is so great. Everything else that we do has a numerical attachment to it regarding it’s value in good deeds – except fasting.

Listen to what Allah says about the reward of the fasting person.

No Comments on Instagramadan 8: Our Relationship with Allah & with Others

One of the laws of spirituality is that our relationship with Allah is impacted by our relationship with others. When we hold grudges against others, it inhibits our relationship with Allah.

The goal of this Ramadan is to get closer to Allah – this cannot happen while we hold grudges against others.

Make it a point to forgive others this Ramadan, and be sure to ask those around you for their forgiveness as well.

Our Relationship with Others

No Comments on Instagramadan 10: Know How Much He Loved You

Do you know how much the Prophet loved you? In the last verses of Surah Al-Tawbah, Allah describes the qualities of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) relationship with us:

Now has come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves: it grieves him that you should perish: ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful. But if they turn away, Say: “Allah suffices me: there is no god but He: On Him is my trust,- He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme!” (At-Tawbah 9:128,129)

Three characteristics that highlight how much he loved us, asking us the question: do we do our best to love him in return? This month, let’s work on learning and loving the man who loved us so much (may peace and blessings be upon him).

Watch the 10^th episode of the series of Instagramadan series by Brother AbdelRahman Murphy and learn about the Prophet’s love for us…

No Comments on Instagramadan 14: Symptoms of Envy & How to Treat It

When we talk about the dangers of envy (hasad/nazar), we typically speak about the dangers impacting the one being envied. What about the one who is envying somebody else?

Interestingly, the Prophet (peace be upon him) warned us about being the aggressor in this situation much more than anything else. What are some hidden symptoms? And how can we treat this disease?

Ramadan Exclusive: Verses in Context

No Comments on Ramadan Exclusive: Verses in Context

The Qur’an is very sensitive to context, both historical and textual. Unlike the common understanding, Allah does not write off all disbelievers in the sixth verse of Surat Al-Baqarah. He refers to specific groups of people at a specific point in time.

It is one of the tragedies of the Qur’an is looking at it in a shallow way. Learn about this from Brother Nouman Ali Khan in the video below…

Instagramadan 15: Our Sins & Allah’s Forgiveness

No Comments on Instagramadan 15: Our Sins & Allah’s Forgiveness

In Surat Az-Zumar, Allah calls upon us in a very unique way – not by our belief, but by our mistakes and sins – and then endearingly reminds us of such a beautiful truth: that every sin that anyone has ever committed – combined – cannot measure up to an ounce of Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.

Say: “O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”. (Az-Zumar 39:53)

What’s the step that will get us there?
