Religiosity is a function of the outward practice of Islam through the rituals of worship while spirituality is a function of one’s inner state and transforms the outer acts through a heightened consciousness of the underlying wisdom behind these actions in a way that affects one’s spiritual heart (Qalb) and brings us closer to Allah SWT. Spirituality is also underpinned by a belief in the unseen aspects of our deen -the books before our time, the angels, the messengers, predestination etc. ]]> 2023-04-02 20:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2541353401 https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2541353844 Ma'adh ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه said: “learn the Islamic knowledge for learning it for the sake of Allah is piety, seeking it is an act of worship, mutual study is an exaltation to Allah, pursuing it is jihad, teaching it to who does not know it, is charity, and offering it to who deserves it is a way to draw close to Alläh. It is the affable in times of loneliness and the companion during one's seclusion.”]]> 2023-04-02 21:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2541353844 https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2541354352 Ka'b رضي الله عنه said: 'Allah revealed to Prophet Müsā عليه السلام : "O Musa, learn the good and teach it to people; for I will enlighten the graves of who learns it and who teaches it so they do not feel any kind of estrangement in their graves."]]> 2023-04-02 21:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2541354352 https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2542424951 There’s a reason Allah talks a lot about plants growing in the Quran. The rain is guidance that seeps into the earth which was dead and then a seedling pierces through, but it keeps growing. When it reaches its prime, we can’t help but marvel at how beautiful it is. Allah describes these grown plants as بهيج ; pleasant, beautiful to look at. 

A person is supposed to grow in his Deen; Islam, Iman, Ihsaan. As a person grows, he becomes more pleasing to Allah and people, and everything else around him.

Are we supposed to find a different school of thought as we grow up? ]]> 2023-04-16 20:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2555986057 https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2566422889 “Come as you are, grow as He wills” - Shaykh Yaser]]> 2023-04-25 00:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2566422889 https://padlet.com/VRIC/g3t2mj0ly3hl3wc9/wish/2598060304 I wanted to share a dua related to the hadith we studied today, even though the narration is weak but it's a good dua to make.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ عُمْرِي آخِرَهُ، وَخَيْرَ عَمَلِي خَوَاتِمَهُ، وَاجْعَلْ خَيْرَ أَيَّامِي يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ

O Allah, make the best of my life its end, and the best of my deeds its conclusions, and make the best of my days the day I meet You.
