Deeds that light the way
So do not ask your Lord when the day of Judgment will be, but ask yourself what deeds have you prepared for that day.
In every moment of the day of Judgment, from the moment you rise from their grave to when you take your place in the assembly.
From when you are brought forth to be held accountable by your Lord, to when you are taken to the scale for the scrolls to be weighed, from when you prepare to cross the bridge to your anticipated arrival at the gates of Paradise.
There are good deeds that You have sent forth that will come to your aid. Deeds that will take you by your hand and testify on your behalf, that will settle your feet and shade you from the scorching heat. That will light your way in the darkness and guide you to the abode of eternal delight.
What are the hidden Qur’anic gems that lead to optimal faith, success, taqwa and overall health?
Allah has given us the answers. He has taught us how we eat, drink, sleep, behave and live–all to maintain perfect balance and harmony. And yet, when we disrupt Allah’s balance, we contribute to the global epidemic of lifestyle-based chronic diseases affecting our mind, body, spirit and even the planet.
The latest evidence-based research shows that when we live according to Qur’an and Sunnah, we can optimize our brain and body function, unlocking the secrets to optimal physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health.
All of the love stories in the Qur’an have the connotations of birr: protection, qawwam, endearment, sacrifice, acceptance, allowing redemption and return after sin, opening what others closed and uplifting those who others pushed down. They are the opposite of what is conventional, the oxymoron of the sinfulness that others display, and the righteous rain of barakah into the heart and mind of those who are distant from Allah (s.w.t.).
A love letter to Syria and its people, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a speculative novel set amid the Syrian Revolution, burning with the fires of hope, love, and possibility. Perfect for fans of The Book Thief and Salt to the Sea.
Salama Kassab was a pharmacy student when the cries for freedom broke out in Syria. She still had her parents and her big brother; she still had her home. She had a normal teenager’s life.
Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily. Secretly, though, she is desperate to find a way out of her beloved country before her sister-in-law, Layla, gives birth. So desperate, that she has manifested a physical embodiment of her fear in the form of her imagined companion, Khawf, who haunts her every move in an effort to keep her safe.
But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, Salama is torn between her loyalty to her country and her conviction to survive. Salama must contend with bullets and bombs, military assaults, and her shifting sense of morality before she might finally breathe free. And when she crosses paths with the boy she was supposed to meet one fateful day, she starts to doubt her resolve in leaving home at all.
Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are—not a war, but a revolution—and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria’s freedom.
New Exclusive Short Story Inside
Upon visiting the graves of family and friends, you get to finally realise that you do not go there to bid farewell, instead it is to say: “See you soon.”
You pray upon them until one day, you are prayed upon, you visit them until you are visited. But you still love them and long for their company and wonder about them, while you are still in this dunya.
Where are they? Do they know how I am feeling? Do they know when I visit them? Do they hear me? What should I be doing to make things better for them? And what should I be doing to make things better for myself, while I wait to hopefully join them, in the company of the righteous?

There are numerous translations of the Qur'an in English, as well as in other European languages. Quite a few were produced in the first half of the twentieth century and earlier than that, but many others were published after 1950 and the trend continues. Several answers may be offered to the question: why should anyone take the trouble of translating anew what has already been translated? Perhaps the right answer is that it is the translator's thirst to bring to the English reader more of what a speaker of the language of the Qur'an feels when he or she recites it.
The Qur'an is God's book, and he says that it sets things in clear and easy to understand language. However, its rule throughout is brevity of expression and breadth of meaning. Yet, its literary excellence is far superior to anything Arabic has ever known even in its heyday of fine poetry. No wonder, it is God's word.
Adil Salahi's translation attempts to put the meanings of the Qur'an in clear modern English, so as to make it easier for the twenty-first century reader to gather the full message of the Qur'an, without having to read numerous footnotes or resort to books of commentary.
