How many times have you made Salah only to find yourself thinking about your kids, your job, your schoolwork, or even worse, something you saw on TV? Do you find it difficult to have khushoo in prayer? You’re not alone. One of the biggest problems many Muslims have today is being able to focus in…
How strong is your faith? Do you think you have what it takes to be a Muhsin? Or at least a Mu’min? Or are you merely a Muslim? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. There are three levels of faith in Islam. These three levels come to us in the famous “Hadith of Jibreel.”…
What is Ramadan all About? What is Ramadan, you ask? Let me answer your question with another question. What would you think if someone told you not to eat for most of the day? You’d probably think you could do that. It’s not that big of a deal to go 8-10 hours with no food.

Without a doubt you are certainly a Muslim. You have entered Islam. But have you become a true believer? Until you accept the six…
What Is the Sharia? The literal meaning of Sharia is “the way to water.” The Sharia is a broad term for Islamic law, and represents the way to God and purity. The overarching goal of the Sharia is to establish justice. Islamic law is not meant to suppress women or individual freedom. It is meant…
An Overview of the Sects of Islam How many sects of Islam are there? Well, most people know that there are two major sects: The Sunni and Shia (also spelled Shiite). But, that’s only part of the answer. Because in actuality, there are many people who call themselves Muslim, but have varying beliefs. Disclaimer: I…
What Are The Hadith? The Arabic word Hadith means “speech.” In Islam, hadiths relate to stories or narrations about Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Sometimes the hadith may be a quotation of Prophet Muhammad. Or the hadith might be a story about something that happened during his lifetime. The hadeeths…
