Remember: your life is worth it. Your qadar is woven through every pain, every happiness, every hardship, and every joy that you will face. And one day, in the akhirah, you will see the fruits of every good intention you had, and you will understand why Allah chose to write your soul into existence.

During its funeral, a righteous soul will wish to speed up its body's burial, so that it can move on to enjoy its time in the barzakh. It will hear its family and loved ones pray and mourn over it as it is placed back in the earth. It will face the qiblah to reflect its dedication to prayer during life. And it will answer correctly the angels who come to question it. When you die, will this be you...

Your date of death has arrived. There are many signs that will hint to you and those around you about the state in which you will meet your Lord.

If you've spent years in sin, repent. If you feel like your sins outweigh every good deed you've ever done, repent. To despair in the mercy of Allah is a trick of Shaytan. And as you near your death, Shaytan will try even harder to create feelings of fear and despair, but as the Prophet (s) told us in his final illness: "Let not one of you die except with a good opinion of Allah." Host : Omar Sule...

You may not have a terminal illness, but death is always near. The details of when and where and how your life will end are up to Allah. Your role is to build your roster of good deeds, so that when your time comes, the angels will inspect you and find feet that stood in qiyam, a heart full of taqwa, and a mind full of Qur'an.

The measure of your life is not in how many years you live, but in how well you live it. Are you helping others, giving generously, and building a positive legacy? Or are you wasting time and neglecting doing any good? Many narrations indicate a connection between good deeds and a prolonged life. Others warn of the danger of reaching old age without pleasing Allah. Which category will you fall int...

Your choices shape your legacy and your destiny. A life dedicated to Allah and full of ''barakah'' may be enriched and prolonged. On the other hand, the scholars say that sin destroys the blessings of your years and your wealth on Earth. The choice between a fruitful, blessed life and a sinful one is always yours to make.

Why do innocent people suffer? Why is there so much tragedy happening around the world? When these questions fill your mind, be grateful. It means that you have a heart that is not numb to the struggles of your fellow humans. There are many answers to these questions from an Islamic perspective, and each takes time to explore. But as an individual, the most important thing you can do is ask yourse...

When your sins pile up, it can be easy to feel despair. But Allah is always waiting to welcome you back to Himself. No matter what you've done, no matter how long it has been, don't let anyone tell you that you cannot find healing in repentance. Remember the verse in Surah az-Zumar: "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed,...

Do you worship God on edge? Is your relationship with Him dependent on everything going right in your life? If so, then you're missing out on something important that Allah promised us: He tests those whom He loves. Tests are opportunities to learn life lessons, grow in faith, and earn forgiveness for past sins. So when you experience a hardship in your life, remember that the pain of it will be t...

Change is inevitable. We move through cycles of opposites: of happiness and sadness, of good and bad. But what does it mean when everything is suddenly falling apart? When you face a loss patiently, but are instead faced by regression in a domino effect, the chips of your life falling down rapidly, one after another. What do you do when it feels like even the blessings you were grasping on to are...

The fear of loneliness can be crippling. Worse yet is when you feel lonely in a world full of people and can't see a way out. Could being alone be what's decreed for you in this life? No matter the type of loneliness you are experiencing, the Most Merciful has wisdoms and greater gifts written for those who find closeness with Him.

What if you were the oppressor where you thought you were being oppressed by someone else? What if you were the aggressor instead of the victim? What if you were the one who wronged someone else? Perspective is often a flash of insight from Allah that helps you grow and realise how you could've been better, and that introspection can be one of the greatest gifts He has bestowed upon you that can c...

Why do seemingly undeserving people always get everything good in life? Why does everything seem to come harder for you, even though you've worked so hard? And why do other people take credit for your hard work, while you are left in the dust? Sometimes, what you see as someone else being unfairly favoured might actually be qadar at work in your favour. So beware of envy and defeat overtaking you,...

If only things had been different..." "What if I had done something else..." The phrases "what if" and "if only" are often used for regret or to dream of a seemingly better reality...but if you adopt a more fruitful perspective, you can use the phrases to see what you were saved from instead. Regret can be inescapable, but when we wonder "what if" that regret has the potential to turn into somethi...

People can be the greatest blessing in your life, but they can also be the source of immense pain. But why does Allah put evil people in your life? And how do you show grace to those who've wronged you?

A lot of us grow up with fairy tales about magical encounters, butterflies, perfect fantasies, and happy endings. But is there such a thing as true love and soulmates in Islam? What does Islam say about love? The Seerah is full of stories about marriage and love that are timelessly relatable and speak of all types of fates.
