Who Am I? Claiming my Muslim Identity

In the month of Ramadhan, the opportunities to develop oneself are immense. However, it often happens that we do not know where to begin our processes of change and development. This halaqa highlights the 2 necessary faculties which all of us MUST develop in order to achieve the Islamic character in this blessed month of Ramadhan and beyond – leading us to do actions for the ultimate objective of seeking the pleasure of Allah (swt).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (ra) that he said:

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Surely, Allah, The Exalted, said, “Whoever shows enmity to an ally of Mine, I have waged war upon him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have obligated upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with the voluntary acts until I love him. Once I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grasps, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask of Me, I would surely grant it to him. If he were to seek refuge with Me, I would surely protect him.”

A in-depth understanding of the concept of “Hikmah” from the Islamic Perspective.

This is based on the various tafaseer of Surah Baqarah Ayah 30.
When Allah sent Adam (as) to earth and taught him a word of repentance, Adam (as) was also instructed to act as a ‘Khalifah’ on earth, which meant taking the authority with the burden of responsibility that came with it, In fact living by the laws of Allah when exercising authority and responsibility ON ANY LEVEL is a means for forgiveness. The third meaning of ‘Khalifah’ is ‘successors’ which includes the progeny of Adam (as), and so living under Islamic rule or working to implement Islam is a mercy and a forgiveness for the ones who work for it and the Ummah.

Sheikh Abu Talha explains about the Islamic perspective and the implications of ruling in the west or in non-Islamic systems. Does the voting become justified or halal because it is being done to elect the ‘lesser of two evils’? What are the implications of voting for one of the evils on our life in this world and akhirah? Watch this brief explanation, comprehend and share with fellow Muslims.

The Prophet’s Ramadhan – Month to Struggle for Islam
“It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it.” 9:33
The Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba (RA) demonstrated that Ramadhan was the month to struggle for establishing the Deen of Allah in society and state.
The Prophet SAW carried the intellectual struggle of the Qur’an in Makkah and then the practical struggle of establishing Islam in society in Madinah and then the global struggle to carry Islam to the world.
This is the very nature of this Qur’an that Muslims are reciting every day in Ramadhan — a message of struggle against all forms of jahilliyah.
This is the Prophet’s Ramadhan and this is what the Muslims today need to emulate as an Ummah.
