The human body is made to withstand incredibly harsh things. However, it must be put through regular training to do it. An infant is not going to be able to resist germs like an adult is, because that infant’s body has not been trained for that yet. While an adult has had years of daily […]
The Generous Community
![](https://orlandparkprayercenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/generous.jpg)
Spending my vacation in Lebanon for the past month and visiting with many of the prominent Imams and Sheikhs there made me appreciate one major difference between mosques in the United States compared to mosques overseas. That difference being the self-supporting financial ability to maintain professional services to our community. If you exclude wealthy countries […]
مَن رَضِيَ عاشْ

إن أكثر ما يجعل القلب مرتاحاً والبال ساكناً والنفس سعيدة؛ أن يرى الإنسان نفسه في غنى عن الناس، وأن يقنع بما ملكه الله، فيغض بصره عن ما أنعم الله به على غيره، ويرجو البركة لنفسه فيما بين يديه، ويرجو البركة للآخرين فيما بين أيديهم، ينشغل بنفسه وما يعتلجها عوضاً عن انشغاله بالناس وشؤونهم. ولا غنى […]

إِنَّ هذا الْقُرْآن يَهْدِي لِلَّتي هِيَ أقْوَم

الطريق إلى القرآن ليس بالمُدارسة بقدر ما هو بنزع الحُجُب عن بصر القلب. نحتاج لتذوّق القرآن أكثر مما نحتاج لتفسيره،فإنها قسوةقلوب أكثر منها جهالة.. فلا تظُنّنَ أن كنوزَه تُؤتَى لكلّ طارق ولا تظنّنَ أن روحهُ تسكنُ كل قارئ إنَّما هي مصابيح الأرواح من تتلقى إشارات الفهم و العلم و ما وراء العلم فانظر أينكَ من […]
Do You Know Your Prophet?
![](https://orlandparkprayercenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/muhammad.jpg)
This is not a Seerah article about the life of the prophet (SAAW) but rather a glimpse into his characteristics as mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. Many times when reading the Seerah, people focus on the historical events during the life of our prophet (SAAW) where much of it had to do with battles […]

“What is going to happen to me the first night in my grave? What have I prepared for that moment? That moment that is absolutely guaranteed to all of creation. What have we prepared for death? Will I be in heaven or will I be in hell fire? How often do I remember death? Think […]
