Download or read book A Muslim s True Life Purpose written by Ramzi Mohammad and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With everything going on around us, it is difficult to focus on what truly matters. We are often overwhelmed in our lives; so focused on the details that we forget the big picture. It is important to take a step back and take a look at the master plan. There is more to life than the little annoyances, the daily grind, and even the temporary moments of happiness we may experience. This book is divided into six parts. The intention of each part is to help us take a step back and refocus our energy and attention on a Muslim's true-life purpose, thus helping us implement our Islamic faith accurately. The first part is, "The Purpose of Life." When we do things, we have to do them with right intention. We must fully understand why we are here and what Allah SWT wants from us. Understanding the purpose of life helps us to have balanced lives and to have patience towards the less desirable moments in our lives, keeping in mind our priorities and duties assigned to us by Allah SWT. The Second part is, "Islamic Principles." We are here to navigate life, but as any wayfarer on a journey knows, one must have a compass to know which direction to go. This is where Islam comes in. In Islam we find a simple and universal religion. If we impalement the simple principles of Islam and the example of our Prophet Muhammad PBUH and fulfill our roles as Muslims than our presence on this earth becomes momentous. Islam becomes a blessing for us and for those around us.The third part is, "Islamic Way of Life." Surely navigating this life is difficult but Allah SWT has blessed us in giving us direction. The codes that Allah SWT has given us through his messenger Muhammad PBUH, the ways he asks us to behave, the dangers he asks us to keep away from are all for our own benefit. They are given to us in order to help us navigate through this life so that we can arrive soundly at our final destination, Jannah Insha'Allah.The fourth part is, "Our Journey Together." On this journey called life we must remember that we are not islands. We need each other, as by nature we are social beings. In fact, it is why isolation is considered a form of torture. As we go on life's journey we have companions that are a part of the sweetness of this life. With this great blessing from Allah SWT comes great responsibility towards these companions.The fifth part is, "Our Hereafter." Allah SWT has blessed us with being able to see parts of the future as He as described them to us. He has warned us of what is to come so that we can have a stronger motivation now to do better. This section is meant as a motivation so that we can remember that our eternal abode is what deserves the most of our attention.Finally, the sixth part is, "Timeless Stories of Inspiration." There are people that have gone through this journey of life before us. We can learn from their stories and we can use the stories as a source of inspiration.It is the intention that these sections help us understand that there is a bigger picture in life. And what is by far the most beautiful thing of all is that this master plan of our life is created by the Most Generous, the Most Merciful, and the All-Knowing Allah SWT.

Download or read book Fiqh of Social Media written by Omar Usman and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social media and digital technologies have changed our lives and there is no indication that things will slow down. As Muslims, we believe that Islam contains the most perfect guidance for all of mankind to follow. How do we implement that timeless advice in our unprecedented times? That is the focus of the Fiqh of Social Media. "I am grateful and appreciative of my friend, Omar Usman, for exhausting available resources; Islamic, psychological, secular, and business, to develop the work you see before you. We have had long discussions pertaining to many of the topics covered in this book. I am confident that you will find this book to be beneficial, and I pray that it inspires more contributions on this topic." -Shaykh AbdulNasir Jangda, Qalam Institute "With the time we spend on social media, being mindful of how we use it is crucial. This is a wonderful resource based in prophetic guidance on how to practically use social media in wise and beneficial ways." -Dr. Omar Suleiman, Yaqeen Institute "Reading Fiqh of Social Media is like sitting with your best friend from Sunday school and having an intellectual & spiritual conversation about the impact of social media on your life. Omar distills years of research, experience, and thought leadership in an easily digestible book that you can enjoy with a good cup of coffee (and your phone off!)" -Mohammed Faris, The Productive Muslim Company "The Prophet (s) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should say something good or keep silent." The ability to control our tongues, how we communicate with others, is an expression of our faith. Communication has evolved and changed so much that one of the primary ways many of us communicate with others is through social media; hashtags and 280 characters. This is a long-awaited work from my good friend and Hajj companion Omar Usman who has been writing, tweeting, speaking, and teaching about the Fiqh of Social Media for years. This is a valuable work providing guidance on how to use and benefit from social media in a way that conforms to our principles and values." -Shaykh Furhan Zubairi, Institute of Knowledge "Ulama of the past have written on the adaab of speech and social interaction. Connecting those guidelines with the modern world of social media has been the need of our time. May Allah reward Omar for taking this task on!" -Mufti Hussain Kamani, Qalam Institute "This is a must-read for Muslims around the globe. I can't thank Omar enough for this work which forces Muslims to look in the mirror and answer tough questions about how social media has impacted our lives. It questions why we desire to share the most intimate aspects of our lives with strangers from around the world and provides action items to implement. These discussions need to be had within the Muslim community. We have to question how our quality of life has been impacted by the age of hyper-connectivity. Due to the fact that Social Media is the tool for creating social capital, we need to realize that speaking about the harms of constant connectivity takes a lot of courage. Thank you, Omar, for this work." -Shaykh Mikaeel Smith, Qalam Institute

Download or read book True Success written by Adam Salaam and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving success in life is everyone's dream, but it is often a most difficult and challenging task. While the definition of success varies by person, for those who believe in God, success is defined as leading a righteous life and being a productive and contributing member of society. It is no different for a Muslim, follower of Islam, to submit to God's will, that is to please Him, follow His guidance through the Quran, and accept Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) as a role model. This is essentially to be a pious, righteous, productive member of the society and constantly strive to please God. Sadly, today, there are mixed and confused understandings and interpretations of Islam within Muslims and among others. Many seem to have forgotten the foundation and essentials of Islam. Adam Salaam, in his True Success, provides the quintessential message of Islam to its followers. He reminds everyone about the personal qualities that Islam advises to nurture, and our responsibilities toward people we live with and community we live in. His message is profound, clear, in simple language referring to the verses from the Quran--the direct guidance from God. He presents the true purpose of life and provides solutions to many complex challenges we face today, and which lay in the fundamental personal qualities suggested in Quran and modeled by the Prophet (PBUH). Adam Salaam believes it is highly essential for every Muslim to constantly reflect upon Allah's message and keep life's goals aligned with Quran to achieve true success.

Download or read book The Truth About Muhammad written by Robert Spencer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life and teachings In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today. From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad. Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage. Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient "revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule. In The Truth about Muhammad, you'll learn - The truth about Muhammad's multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammad set legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and terrorism - The real "Satanic verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims - How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day. Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism. All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A civil but honest dialogue...As illuminating as it is fascinating.” —Ayaan Hirsi Ali Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem to be drawn to extremism? And what do words like jihadism and fundamentalism really mean? In a world riven by misunderstanding and violence, Sam Harris—a famous atheist—and Maajid Nawaz—a former radical—demonstrate how two people with very different religious views can find common ground and invite you to join in an urgently needed conversation. “How refreshing to read an honest yet affectionate exchange between the Islamist-turned-liberal-Muslim Maajid Nawaz and the neuroscientist who advocates mindful atheism, Sam Harris...Their back-and-forth clarifies multiple confusions that plague the public conversation about Islam.” —Irshad Manji, New York Times Book Review “It is sadly uncommon, in any era, to find dialogue based on facts and reason—but even more rarely are Muslim and non-Muslim intellectuals able to maintain critical distance on broad questions about Islam. Which makes Islam and the Future of Tolerance something of a unicorn...Most conversations about religion are marked by the inability of either side to listen, but here, at last, is a proper debate.” —New Statesman

Download or read book The Future of Islam written by John L. Esposito and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. Now, in this brilliant portrait of Islam today--and tomorrow--he draws on a lifetime of thought and research to sweep away the negative stereotypes and provide an accurate, richly nuanced, and revelatory account of the fastest growing religion in the world. Here Esposito explores the major questions and issues that face Islam in the 21st century and that will deeply affect global politics. Are Islam and the West locked in a deadly clash of civilizations? Is Islam compatible with democracy and human rights? Will religious fundamentalism block the development of modern societies in the Islamic world? Will Islam overwhelm the Western societies in which so many Muslim immigrants now reside? Will Europe become Eurabia or will the Muslims assimilate? Which Muslim thinkers will be most influential in the years to come? To answer this last question he introduces the reader to a new generation of Muslim thinkers--Tariq Ramadan, Timothy Winter, Mustafa Ceric, Amina Wadud, and others--a diverse collection of Muslim men and women, both the "Martin Luthers" and the "Billy Grahams" of Islam. We meet religious leaders who condemn suicide bombing and who see the killing of unarmed men, women, and children as "worse than murder," who preach toleration and pluralism, who advocate for women's rights. The book often underscores the unexpected similarities between the Islamic world and the West and at times turns the mirror on the US, revealing how we appear to Muslims, all to highlight the crucial point that there is nothing exceptional about the Muslim faith. Recent decades have brought extraordinary changes in the Muslim world, and in addressing all of these issues, Esposito paints a complex picture of Islam in all its diversity--a picture of urgent importance as we face the challenges of the coming century.
