Please do not be part time muslim!
alilmiyah:
A muslim is not one who reads the Quran with a melodious voice. A muslim is not one who hides in the mosque. A muslim is not one who is selective over the laws of Islam.
A muslim is one who obeys all the injuctions in the Quran and AHadith and goes out in the world striving and upholding the laws!
Lets hold hands!

alilmiyah:
Sunnis and Shias should come together to reason and unite for the sake of Allah (swt). We both utter the kalimah. We both love the Prophet (saw) and his family (ra) and his companions (ra). Let us not allow people to take advantage of this breakup and weaken us. Remember, lions breaks up a herd and only then it attacks.
Let us sincerely come together and reason...

The only religion to say marry only one
alilmiyah:
The only religion to clearly say marry one wife is Islam. Furthermore, Islam is also an only religion to clearly put a limit on the number of wives a man can marry.
[4:3] If you fear that you will not do justice to the orphans, then, marry the women you like, in twos, in threes and in fours. But, if you fear that you will not maintain equity, then (keep to) one woman, or bondwomen...

alilmiyah:
This law was revealed at a time when women had no shelter, food or protection. As such this law was enacted so that women could be honoured and protected as a 2nd 3rd or 4th wife. This law was not made so that men could ‘enjoy’ themselves.
The law is still practical in countries where there are…

The true purpose of knowledge
alilmiyah:
Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Do not attain learning in order to express pride before the ulema (scholars), nor by its help quarrel with foolish people, nor through it try to overwhelm meetings, but he who does so, his destination is fire.” [Ibn Majah]

Deen is Deep
alilmiyah:
Why merely look at the surface and appreciate Islam, look deeper, you will be in awe!

dhikr is honestly the most relaxing and meditative process a person can engage in. Especially when you immerse yourself in it totally and the words all of a sudden become a million times more overwhelming than they should be.

I am currently reading in No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, by Reza Aslan. Whether it be during class (shh!), after a quiz, before bed, or any other time, I have been devouring this book. It is extremely well-written and coherent and makes Islam comprehensible for…

but I kind of wish i knew if there were some sort of rally going on around here to protest all the backlash against Muslims. I am not crazy about ideals and morals, to say the least, but how would I feel were I in their shoes? Their constitutional rights as human beings are being impeded, not…

We spent much of her early years in waiting rooms of doctor’s offices, waiting rooms for physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy — the list goes on and on.
