وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلاً
And indeed We have honoured the Children of Ādam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with al-ṭayyibāt (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preference.

What was the purpose of Allāh sending the Prophets and Messengers?

There are groups that attack other groups, groups that have split away from other groups. There are Islamic organizations calling to a methodology, another organization calling to a different methodology, there is also a difference in focus of various islamic groups. Muslims are fairly united upon the recognition of the fact that the ummah of Muḥammad (ﷺ)- meaning the Islamic nation today is in a state of distress, it is in a state of torment, it is in a state of weakness. Every Muslim or most Muslim organizations have their own idea and methodology with regard to rectification and with r…

It is indeed more powerful against the Shayṭān than iron.
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar BazmūlShaykh al-Albānī said:

When he pointed his finger, he would put his thumb upon his middle finger and sometimes he would make a circle with them. When he raised his finger he would move it, supplicating with it, and he would say:

Belief in the Unseen is the foundation for a successful marriage. We come into marriage and we want to fulfill our desires in a halal way because we fear Allāh. Belief in the unseen is the key issue in marriage. It seems like when dealing with each other (the husband with the wife, and the wife with the husband), this īmān goes out the window [meaning the disputes are not referred to the solutions in the Qurʾān and Sunnah].
The Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: A Muslim is one who other Muslims are safe from his hand and tongue. If this applies to the Muslims in general, then what…
