Anger Management in Islam
By: Um Abd Al-Rahman
Anger can lead to early death. Chronic anger, hostility, and aggression
raise your risk of developing various deadly forms of heart disease by as much
as five times the normal rate. The more hostility you tend to express, the more
one is prone to heart disease. If you find that you immediately get angry when
you have to wait in traffic or when confronted with a long line at the grocery
checkout, or constantly yelling at your loved ones, you may be slowly killing
yourself.

Pillars of Faith in Islam
By: Om Mohammed
So many people today, even non-Muslims, have the basic underlying knowledge of
what Islam is about, by the spread of the concept of the five pillars of the
religion.
However, the essence of any religion is all is the underlying essence of belief.
And, as is evident by the practices of adherents of the various world religions,
the essence of belief is that of a being greater than one’s self, who or which
is in command of all things governing his/her life. In the case of some
religions, this power of divine command is divided among multiple ‘gods’, which
are designated reign over certain aspects of governing over life and existence.
As concerned with Islam, belief is entailed of 6 essential
portents, each equally important as the other. For, without the belief in any
one of these aspects, one’s essential Islam is rendered in question.

Abdus Salam Sipes
I grew up in a
dysfunctional family setting in the atmosphere of alcoholism and physical and
emotional abuse that came from my father. Without a positive father figure I was
basically developing antisocial behavior and an inclination to violence. I began
to imitate what I was being exposed to. This process of imitation began
unconsciously. It affected my interaction with my older brother, classmates,
teachers and animals, too. Nothing was exempt from my sadistic outpouring of
pent up anger and rage!

Obligation of Dawah
By: Abdul Ghafoor Hustad
I was born and raised in Chicago to a
catholic family. My mother being the oldest of nine and raised in a fairly
strict household put no pressure on me to attend religious services. Towards the
end of high school I began to think about the purpose of life and the
possibilities of a Creator. As it would so happen I met another American revert
at a BBQ who shared with me his knowledge of Islam. After about a year or so of
research, discussions with various religious figures, and lots of thought I
accepted Islam. Alhamdulilah, the following year my mother took her shahada as
well. I cannot imagine what my life would be like today had I not accepted Islam
or where I would be, had people (may Allah reward them) not taken the time to
show me this beautiful way of life.

Muhammad”

We, who submit our
wills to obey and worship God alone and believe Muhammad (pbuh) is His last

mankind.

Prequisites and Requirements of
Salat
By: Dr. Mubarak Ali
11.
Salat Ul-Istisqa’ (Prayer for Rain)
It is Sunnah to pray for rain if there is drought or otherwise an urgent
need for rain. This is supported by the following tradition:
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) went out (to make the Salat ul-Istisqa’)
wearing old clothes, in a humble and lowly manner, and prayed two rak’at as he
prayed the ‘Id, but he did not give a similar khutbah (Ibn ‘Abbas
in Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and At-Tirmidhi).

THE MOST BENEFICIAL SUPPLICATION
By: Om Mohammed
A man and his wife had been trying for more than
fifteen years to have children. They had not left any stone unturned, but which
they tried in their effort to have children. Nothing was of any benefit. If
anything, their long search for offspring with no fruit, only served to tear at
their nerves even more, making it evidently even more difficult for them to
conceive.

Aminah Assilmi
He explained that Allah told us to seek knowledge
and questions were one of the ways to accomplish that. When he explained
something, it was like watching a rose open – petal by petal, until it reached
its full glory. When I told him that I did not agree with something and why, he
always said I was correct up to a point. The he would show me how to look deeper
and from different directions to reach a fuller understanding. Alhamdulillah!
