Prophetic Narrations You Probably Have Never Heard - Part II

Bismillah
Last year, I shared a short compilation of Prophetic narrations that were unheard of in our English-speaking circles.
Alhamdulillah (praise belongs to God), a few of our readers asked that I continue sharing these narrations. I’ve compiled here, for the second time, a few narrations that resonated with me. The purpose of this compilation is to [...]

Luminosity: Lessons from the Full Moon

In the summer of 2010, my friends and I went camping during a full-moon in the famous White Desert. As the sun began to set, we made camp and had dinner under the stars.

As I became more advanced in my Arabic studies, I immersed myself in reading hadith (prophetic narrations) in the language spoken by our Messenger ﷺ (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him).

Bismillah
A short yet very beneficial excerpt about the status of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam by Shaykh ibn Al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah,
Ibrahim and Muhammad - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them both- are the two close friends of Allah (Khaleelaan). Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said, “And Allah did take Ibrahim as [...]

The Humor of the Messenger of Allah

Bismillah
If we were asked to name instances where the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam displayed bravery, shed tears or gave advice to his Companions, we would be able to do so easily. But how many of us can name at least three times where the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam was seen laughing [...]
