Bismillahi ar-rahmani ar-rahim Since childhood, we all know that youth is followed by maturity and old age by death. “Death and taxes” is an English phrase, which means: “the unavoidable”. Death is so certain, that it is almost impossible for us to comprehend that this was not always the case.

Bismillahi ar-rahmani ar-rahim Peace and blessings be upon you, brothers and sisters. I hope that this year’s Ramadan was a blessing for you and your families, and that you all enjoyed last month’s festival of Eid al-Fitr (Rojar Eid, Şeker Bayrami etc.). These special days are over, but the blessing

Bismillahi ar-rahmani ar-rahim We have already looked at how Iblis refused to obey Allah’s command out of pride and jealousy. We have also seen, how he succeeded in tempting the first people away from the Straight Path to follow his crooked way. As a result, our ancestors had to leave

Bismillahi ar-rahmani ar-rahim Dear brothers and sisters. We would like to hear what blessings (barakat) Allah has given you, or how you were able to be a blessing to others. Thank you to those who write back with their reflections on the ayahs we share. We are still an ummah,

Who believe in the Unseen, and

Theories have been invented by sceptics, suggesting why the prophecy of Daniyal was not a miracle of Divine Providence after all. They say: “One kingdom falls and is replaced by another. You don’t have to be very smart to figure that out.” That may be true. But that is not

After describing the dream, Daniyal told the king its meaning: Daniel 2:37-45 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the
