The coronavirus is an overwhelming crisis, which none of us saw coming. It has affected each and every one of our lives, and we are all feeling anxious for the safety of our loved ones and those who are vulnerable around the globe.
Zakat, it's one of the most important things a Muslim will do in their life.
The term Zakat is an Arabic word that means 'to purify'.
This means that giving Zakat purifies your wealth; it's a source of immense baraka, or blessing.
Zakat is important because it benefits not only the individual, but also the recipient and society at large. The power of Zakat cannot be underestimated.
It's an incredible institution intended to transform society. Imagine this: if just the top ten richest people in the world paid Zakat, that would amount to £7.7 billion!
On World Water Day 2020, we want to take the conversation well beyond access to clean water, to the infrastructure and practices which make clean water a life-saver.
Have you ever been asked, “What’s your 5-year plan?”
How about, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”
We spend so much of our time thinking ahead, drawing up plans and aspiring for better for ourselves and our families. But no one ever plans to be a victim of war. No one plans to be a refugee.
Cyclone Idai ripped through Southern Africa in March 2019, devastating the lives of people in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and some areas of Malawi. This deadly cyclone brought with it catastrophic flooding, violent gale force winds, destruction of property and homes, and the tragic loss of more than 1,000 lives.
To this day, women continue to overcome the hurdles they face to become strong, independent individuals and even in the most trying of times, work tirelessly to make their lives, the lives of their families and the lives of the people in their communities better. On International Women’s Day we come together to celebrate these resilient, successful women in our global community, to promote equality across the globe and remind one another just how important women really are.
Despite misconceptions, the status of women in Islam is that of a beloved equal. In the midst of a deeply sexist historical context, the Prophet (saw) preached boldly on the importance of women; celebrating their unique contributions to family and society, condemning the ill-treatment of women and campaigning for their rights.
