Read MorePor Dr. Y. Mansoor Marican, Ph.D. ¿Es Al-láh el dios de los musulmanes? ¿Porqué no hay ninguncuadros o estatuas de Al-láh? Al-láh se refiere como “Él.”¿Es él como un humano? ¿Hay otros nombres para Al-láh? ¿Quién creó Al-láh? ¿Tiene Al-láh un hijo? ¿Hay otros dioses paraayudarle a Al-láh? ¿Necesita Al-láh un día de descanso? ¿Es Al-láh el dios de Jesús? Si Al-láh es compasivo,¿por qué hay tanto sufrimiento? Si Al-láh es misericordioso, entonces¿perdonará Él todos nuestros pecados? Señor de la Creación Al-láh es el señor de todas lascosas creadas, vistos y no vistos. Todo en la creación loadora y se
Read MoreBy Isa Lima I feel so empty being away from you.To sit in your presence is to know Islam is true.For I listen attentively at your side.At work the next day my faith I dare not hide. You revive what’s in me with your peace and tranquility.You’re a gathering filled with serenity.The angels make dua for us when we sit with you. The Quran appears so understandably clear though I might feel blue.Allah mentions us to those near Him when we’re together.We gain reward with each letter. The thing I don’t understand at all anymore,Is why people scurry away from
Read MoreBy neQiniso Abdullah Praise Allah, Mighty and great,Who knows our past and guards our fate,Who formed us from moistened clay;To whom else, then, shall we pray? Praise Allah, Eternal and Wise,Who hears our laughter and hears our cries,Who paves a straight and narrow way;To whom else, then, shall we pray? Praise Allah, the Merciful One,Who has no mother nor a son,Who keeps our feet from going astray;To whom else, then, shall we pray? Praise Allah, the only God,We dare not act without his nod,Since by His grace we live this day;To whom else, then, shall we pray?

Read MoreBy neQiniso Abdullah “Jesus is God’s only son,”The Christians still insist.But how could such a thing be done;No mates for Him exist! Don’t they know that with this claimThey say that God’s a male,Who needs a son to bear His name,As if His life could fail! Those who choose to speculateAnd assign to God a sex,Reduce Him to man’s carnal stateAnd jeopardize their necks! But any who place on God this lieShould rightly fear His wrath.His lofty throne is far too highAbove man’s sensual path. Now, if a farmer timely sowsA seed in fertile land,Would we consider that which growsTo

But on the horizon I see what makes me run,a lot of t.a. walking around everywhere spoiling my fun.That nasty eye candy’ll rot your eyes,if you keep staring at it it’ll be your demise. Jannahamburgers you taste so bad,the very sight of you makes me all sad.I’ll never get with you so I’m really glad,on the day of judgment your haramness will go

Everyday I see crowds enter into the deen in success,as Muslims take it for granted, throw it away, and leave it understress,I desire one thing, and that is to leave the best way I can.Oh Allah, let me die upon Islam. You ask for spacious houses that can neither save you nor protect youin theleast,I build my home in the akhirah with tahmeed,

An air of happiness fills the space;My home now seems, a better place!Have you any clue who this visitor could be?Yes!

Read you not those stories,of the trials in days gone by,Of the Sahabi beloved by Allah,Who for Allah’s cause did strive?
