Introduction In Islam, earning a lawful living is not just a worldly duty, it is a form of worship. The wealth a Muslim earns shapes their spirituality, their family, their leadership, and the acceptance of their actions. The Prophet said:“Seeking lawful (halal) sustenance is an obligation after the obligation (of worship).”Al-Bayhaqi For Muslim leaders, understanding […]

Kafayat Oyewo-Oyelere Rooted in FaithTo be rooted means to be grounded, firm, unshaken. Our root is Islam.Allah says in Sūrah Ibrāhīm (14:24): أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا كَلِمَةًۭ طَيِّبَةًۭ كَشَجَرَةٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌۭ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ“Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree?

By Abdul-Ganiyy Raji Islam gives us a direct connection with God, Who has power over all things. He is the Creator of the heavens and earth. We have a deep relationship with Him. We need no intermediary or interpreter to talk to Him. He is closer to us than our jugular veins. His love brings […]

By Abdul-Ganiyy Raji We all owe this world peace and love. Hatred brings us nothing but destruction and tears. We can coexist peacefully notwithstanding our differences along religious, racial, ethnic, or linguistic lines. The ongoing Iran-Israel War is a product of hatred and intolerance. It is not a war between Islam and Judaism or between […]
