وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَابًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِئُونَ
وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَ‌ٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

The Effects of Sins: Evil upon the Land

Bismillah
Have you ever wondered why there is so much evil on the earth? Why are there so many environmental problems, so many wars, so many famines and sickness?
It’s because of you. Yes, you. And me, and the rest of man.
Many times when we are struck with a trial or calamity, our first reaction is the [...]

Racing for the Prophet

Bismillah
