What it means to be a muslim.
Okay, I had heard people allude to this before, but I never read the article until today. My jaw dropped to the ground. Read the article for yourself, talking about this Muslim liberal’s encounter with Abu Ammar Yasir Qadhi, hafidhullah.

By the way, for those of you that don’t know, I’ve been having a killer pregnancy.
The first three months I could barely get my head out of the toilet. My poor husband, before he left, was eating fast food and frozen pizza all the time because I was physically unable to cook - and often [...]Knowledge is power.
A sister posted up some comments in terms of studying ‘aqeedah and so forth, and it got me thinking. By the way, I don’t personally know this sister, so please don’t take this as a personal attack or anything.
Respectfully, I disagree. I tend to agree with the statement ‘knowledge is power’. Because think of it [...]A Beautiful Disagreement.
A sister, jazakellah khair, posted this on IN and I thought it was a beautiful reminder:
