It is reported from Al-Fudayl bin ‘Ayyâd that he said: “If you can be unknown, do so; it doesn’t matter if you are not known and it doesn’t matter if you are not praised. It doesn’t matter if you are blameworthy according to people if you are praiseworthy with Allâh the Mighty and Majestic.” Al-Bayhaqî, Al-Zuhd Al-Kabîr p. 100

So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights.”

Salam followers,
Just because I run a blog about Islam and it’s beauty, does not mean I am a scholar and know everything there is to know. I am still learning and gaining knowledge about Islam and your help and respect would be appreciated. I am not here to promote false information and if I can not answer a question I will not make up information, please respect that. I have a life of my own, family,...
I think even if you don’t have info on the three issues, you shouldn’t merely tell the person to look by himself. In fact, you should say that you will get back to him and do some research afterwards. This way, you will get some motivation to learn and then pass on your knowledge. Allah will reward you for that. Just my personal opinion. Hope I didn’t hurt your feelings.

When many Muslims are confronted with this question or topic, they tend to get uncomfortable and change the subject. I had a discussion in my living room with a cousin who told me how it is out of the question and this and that. And I asked, “Well, what do you think about the 8th grader who was shot in California by another student after he asked him to be his...

I just wanted to comment on the “salam” post by copy-pasting an excerpt from an article I read on Islamonline.net:
“There is another authentic hadith on which the majority of scholars depend in supporting a different viewpoint: That it is legally detestable (inArabic:makruh) or even prohibited (inArabic:haram) for a Muslim to greet a non-Muslim with...
Returning the Salam, With a Better Salam
Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Surah an-Nisaa 4:86
Allah said,
وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّواْ بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَآ أَوْ رُدُّوهَآ
“When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally.” meaning, if the Muslim greets you with the Salam, then return the greeting with a better Salam, or...
