The wisdom encapsulated in this narration speaks volumes about the importance of kindness in Islam, offering multiple dimensions worth exploring:
Universal Application: One striking element of this Hadith is its universality; it does not specify where kindness should be applied. This opens the door to a broad interpretation—kindness should be part of our dealings with everyone and everything, whether it's people, animals, or even the environment.
Inner and Outer Beauty: The word "beautifies" is profoundly chosen. Kindness is not merely an ethical or moral requirement but something that adds beauty to life. A kind act can illuminate a moment, a face, or an entire community.
Mental Health: Modern psychology also supports the wisdom found here, which affirms that acts of kindness can significantly improve mental health. It's as if the message encourages a spiritual form of positive psychology.

Tawakkul is a core principle that balances human effort with reliance on Allah.
Tawakkul is not about passivity. It encourages active engagement with life's challenges while maintaining faith in Allah’s ultimate plan. The famous narration to tie your camel, and then put your trust in Allah [Tirmidhi], encapsulates this balance.
Scholars have argued that Tawakkul serves as a psychological buffer against stress and anxiety. Knowing that the ultimate outcome is with Allah can bring inner peace.
Others assert that Tawakkul instils an ethical framework. Trust in Allah conditions the soul to be satisfied with outcomes and discourages unethical means to achieve goals.
Tawakkul offers a balanced approach to life, promoting both active engagement with the world and a serene trust in Divine wisdom.

The UK's Home Secretary seems to focus on Muslims an awful lot.
From writing in the Mail on Sunday to making a speech in Washington, these public statements play to a certain base of supporters who are in an echo chamber of Islamophobic views.
This time, the UK's press regulator has ruled her article was 'significantly misleading'.

The Adhan (call to prayer) and the role of the Mu'addhin (the one who performs the Adhan) hold deep significance in our tradition.
It is a sound that unifies Muslims globally, from the bustling city of Jakarta to the serene landscape of rural Turkey. It is one of the few religious practices that physically resonate in public spaces around the world.
The words of the Adhan encapsulate the essence of our faith, calling out the Oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. This serves not only as a call to prayer but also as a constant reminder of the core tenets of Islamic belief.
The role of the Mu'addhin is highly respected and is open to people regardless of social status. Bilal ibn Rabah was the first Mu'addhin: a freed African slave, may Allah be pleased with him. His appointment to this elevated position smashed social hierarchies and demonstrated the principles of equality and social justice.

A Muslim has died after being beating in India.
This is the latest episode of violence in an increasingly intolerant India where the Hindutva supremacist ideology has permeated the ruling government.
May Allah have mercy on him.

This poignant quote holds invaluable lessons that instil genuineness and purity in our relationship with our Creator.
1. Sincerity: Embrace sincerity as a core principle, seeking only Allah's pleasure through all actions and statements. When sincerity becomes the focal point of a servant's life, it gives birth to a pure and genuine relationship (with Allah).
2. Internalisation: Focus on experiencing day-to-day acts of worship as opposed to carrying them out in a mundane manner. This ensures alignment between the servant's public and private life, nurturing the heart for a pure and genuine connection with Allah.

Some people are critical of Palestinians resisting, but here are some simple truths:
We’re not there.
We haven’t been subjugated in “the world’s largest concentration camp” for three generations.
We haven’t been given the choice to either die on our feet or live on our knees.
They have their mashāikh. They have their fuqahā. They have their reasons for action and inaction; for war and for ceasefire.
While we don’t have to agree with everything everyone does, we don’t have to comment against someone whose reality we don’t fully know.
It's important to learn the history of the issue prior to forming an opinion.
Palestine is a frontline of the entire Ummah and Palestinians are in our prayers.
Allah give them victory over their oppressors, and give all the oppressed Muslims the same — whether they are in Kashmir, East Turkestan, India, Syria, Myanmar, Yemen, or anywhere else in the world.

A message from Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad at this evening’s protest in front of the Israeli Embassy in London urging Muslims and Imams to take action.
May Allah protect the Muslims of Palestine from Israel’s attacks.

🔍 BBC states Israelis 'have been killed' and Palestinians 'have died.' Let's not gloss over the agency and responsibility in this phrasing.
Killing implies action, whereas dying could be from natural causes.
Human lives lost deserve a consistent level of journalistic integrity.
