Do we listen to the promise of Allah, or the promise of Shaytān?

Under the reign of the Fatimid Caliphate thrived a magnificent centre for learning and intelligence in Cairo.
This remarkable concentration of schools, libraries, and universities served to highlight the unparalleled value placed upon education within society.
It was a place where scholars and students from all corners of the globe congregated, seeking and sharing knowledge across many disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities, from theology to philosophy.
The legacy of Cairo during the Fatimid era causes us to value and pursue education, to nurture places of learning, and to foster a culture that treasures knowledge.
In doing so, we honour our past and pave the way for a future bright with understanding and progress.

As Ramaḍān is nearing an end, remind yourselves to try if possible — even if it is for one hour, 30 minutes, or even 10 minutes — to just simply be with your Muslim brother or sister on the day of Eid, just so that they get to experience some kind of celebration that is in addition to the Eid prayer.
When this happens, the joy and value they will feel are hard to match.

This aid is going to the children and families of the shuhadā’ — imagine them meeting us on the Day of Judgement knowing that we did all we could to support their families, and interceding for us.
Both believers and arrogant non-Muslims should be given da’wah, but the one who is arguably more worthy of your time and effort is the believer that already holds the right mindset.
The believer that will more likely take heed of your admonition and guidance is perhaps much more worthy of your time than those that turn away arrogantly from the true message of Islam.

We at Islam21c are keen to share with you a vital update regarding Zakat giving.
We strongly advocate for the distribution of Zakat in the form of cash to beneficiaries where possible.
Why cash distribution?
1. Transferring cash directly into the hands of those in need not only grants them ownership but also upholds their dignity by allowing them the freedom to address their personal and immediate needs.
2. Cash contributions empower the recipient, offering them the flexibility to spend on what they deem most necessary, thereby preserving their self-respect and independence.
3. We are utilising bank transfers to eliminate transaction fees whilst also allowing for Gift Aid to those eligible.
How can you do this?
We have worked with our trusted charity partner, Mercy to Humanity, to facilitate this.
Don’t miss out - visit islam21c.com/cash now to benefit from this opportunity.

Nestled in the heart of Fez, Morocco, stands a monument to the power of knowledge and education: the University of al-Qarawiyyin.
Founded over 1,300 years ago as a mosque by the visionary Fātima al-Fihri, this institution is one of the oldest continuously operating universities in the world.
Indeed, al-Qarawiyyin has been attracting scholars, scientists, and thinkers from across the globe, fostering dialogue and discovery that have illuminated paths for many generations. Its classes have benefitted all those in pursuit of knowledge, from theology and law to the natural sciences.
The institution teaches us to uphold the values of lifelong learning, empowerment through education, and the unity of diverse voices in the pursuit of knowledge.

Like Fir’awn, Netanyahu and the Zionists substantiate their claim of superiority by invoking the fact that they have created materially prosperous societies, with advanced organisational and technological capabilities.
As Muslims, there are two archetypical ways in which we can respond to this: the way of Qārūn, or the way of Mūsa (ʿalayhi al-Salām).

The date of Eid al-Fitr 1445 has been announced! The crescent moon was not sighted so Eid al-Fitr will be on Wednesday, 10th April.
Don't lose steam now, there are still precious moments of Ramadan left to make the most of.
May Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) accept our ṣiyām, our qiyām, our duʿā’, our charity, and all our ʿibādah. Āmīn.

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (raḥimahu Allah) became a beacon of courage during a dark period in Islamic history.
His story, particularly his ordeal during the Mihna under the Abbasid Caliphate, is a powerful reminder of the fight to preserve the Islamic tradition.

In the 9th century, nestled in the landscapes of Afghanistan, stood around 400 windmills, showcasing the inventive spirit and environmental consciousness of our ancestors.
These pioneering structures were marvels of engineering; harnessing the wind's power to grind grain and pump water, thereby sustaining communities and agriculture.
They reiterate the Ummah's long-standing commitment to nature, and motivate us to look to the wisdom of the past as we forge a future where sustainability and environmental harmony can guide our path to bettering our community and that of the entire world.

Spanning the vibrant markets of the Middle East to the bustling cities of North Africa, the construction of 5,000 miles of paved roads stands as a huge testament to the ingenuity and foresight of our ancestors.
These pathways were like veins through which the lifeblood of the empire flowed, connecting diverse communities, facilitating the exchange of ideas, culture, and commodities, whilst knitting together a vast and varied landscape into a cohesive and dynamic entity.
This impressive network of roads symbolises the strength and unification of the Ummah, showcasing an unparalleled commitment to progress, connectivity, and mutual support. It reminds us of the importance of building bridges — both literal and metaphorical — between different parts of our world.
These ancient roads also motivate us to pave our own paths of progress, connecting hearts & minds, and forging ahead with purpose. We can draw from our rich heritage to build a future marked by understanding & shared success.

It is expected of us to say that we will miss Ramadan or are sad it is ending.
But if we truly reflect on this and are honest with our own souls, are we really happy this Ramadan or are we really sad it is ending?

Allah gives the parable of a father who owned a garden, not too far from Sana’a. The parable was a reminder to the Quraysh — and is to us all — of the end of those who are ungrateful.
The owner of this particular garden was very charitable when he was alive. In his lifetime, he would give a portion to his family, a portion he would reinvest into the garden, and the excess he would give to the poor in charity.
When he passed away, he left the garden to his children. So what happened to the garden?

Prophet Sulaymān was himself the son of a prophet, Dāwūd (ʿalayhima al-Salām). He was blessed with a kingdom similar to Dāwūd and spread the truth with wisdom and justice.
But similar to Dāwūd, he was also tested.

Taqwā is a term that, along with its derivatives, has been mentioned in the Qur’ān approximately 240 times.
When Allāh makes mention of a particular word that denotes a particular quality, numerous times, it teaches us how important that quality is to Allāh.
It is no secret that this quality of Taqwā is synonymous with the month of Ramaḍān.
