When a scholar boldly declared, "My opinion is—" Ayatollah Hakim thundered, "May God silence you! What right have you, not being a mujtahid, to assert your view?" The room froze.

Fulfilling the Spiritual Obligations of the Deceased: Hiring A Proxy For Missed Prayers and Fasts
When a loved one passes, honoring their spiritual legacy is a profound act of compassion and an obligation.

Whether arranging qada salah (compensatory prayers) or fasts (sawam), we prioritize affordability and integrity. Let us guide you in fulfilling these sacred duties, easing the burden of seeking justice for the deceased. May Allah (SWT) reward your efforts.

Sacred Knowledge vs. Paid Performances: Restoring True Islamic Scholarship
Today, we reflect on Surah Saba, Ayah 47, which addresses the importance of sincerity and selflessness in serving the community, particularly for those who are entrusted with guiding others. This ayah reminds us that true scholars and leaders should not seek material gain for their efforts but rather focus on their duty to Allah and the betterment of the Ummah. This is also a message for the communities who deal with scholars and community leaders. If you wish to know who it is you are asking to come and speak to your community, see what they ask for in return for their invitation! 📖 Today’s Focus: Surah Saba, Ayah 47 "قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ" Translation: "Say, 'Whatever payment I might have asked of you—it is yours.

The Importance of Wills (Wasiyyah) in Islam – A Reflection on Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 180
The Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 180, states: "كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْراً الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوالِدَيْنِ وَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُتَّقِينَ" "It has been ordained upon you that when death approaches one of you, if he leaves behind wealth, he should make a will for his parents and relatives in a fair manner—a duty upon the righteous." This verse highlights the significance of making a will (wasiyyah) in Islam, emphasizing its role as a moral and spiritual obligation for those who fear Allah (SWT). The Quranic instruction to prepare a will is not merely a legal formality but a profound act of foresight, justice, and compassion. Key Insights from the Ayah: Wills as a Sign of Prudence and Responsibility: Some people mistakenly believe that making a will may hasten death. However, this is a misconception. Preparing […]
