“Those who hate Muslims and fear their progress and thus fear the spread of Islam, are genuinely keen on defaming Islam and Muslims, but through living examples and not by defaming a figure they see as belonging to the past. Those attempts, regardless of how evil they may be, actually hide behind a big lie.”…
“On the occassion of the New Hijri Year’s Eve, I want you to reflect on the event and extract morals from it, for surely we all need to migrate from one state to a better one, and from one level of faith or Iman to a more elevated on, and most importantly, from one kind…
“Look up to the Andalusian model and grasp its spirit, a spirit that reflects a culture of excellence. Let’s study our history, yet stay rooted in our present. Let’s be exposed to other cultures, yet preserve our Muslim identity. Let’s expose ourself to others’ experiences, yet make sure we have our own input.” Dear Brothers and Sisters,…

Salamu alikum Brother/Sister I know that being respectful and obedient to parents is highly emphasized in the Qur’an and in all Islamic Literature. But simply, according to my own opinion of the matter, there needs to be mutual love and tenderness. How would be the case if I am myself deprived of that love and…
Dear counselor, I’m wearing what I call “moderate Hijab”, that’s to say, I wear “relatively” tight jeans, and sometimes a bit tight tops, but my hair is fully covered and I almost don’t wear make up at all. Is there such a thing called moderate Hijab? Frankly; I cannot give up showing a glimpse of…
Salams brother/sister I’ve just converted to Islam and as you can read below, my name is Samuel and I live in the UK. I was wondering if I have to adopt a new name like Mohamed or Ahmed, do I have to grow a beard and wear shortened pants? I mean no offence towards those…
Dear Counselor, My name is Randir. According to people’s opinion of me, I’m a good Muslim, I pray, I’m good to my family and try to help others as much as I can. But I lie a lot, I lie even about trivial things that do not matter much to me and I just can’t…
Dear Counselor, Should I drop him a sign every now and then? Can I directly propose to him? I have the guts to do that and I don’t mind. But is it right to do so? Do you think he’d appreciate my honesty and my feelings for him or would that harm my image and…
Dear Counselor, I know that we Muslims should hold our beloved Prophets in great respect and relate to them as our role models, but honestly I find difficulty committing to that. How can one adhere to the way of thinking and attitudes of people, with all due respect to them, who lived centuries ago? I…
Dear Counselor, Over the past few months I started developing a tormenting feeling that everything I do is Haram, and that my prayer is always incomplete, which drives me crazy; as I keep repeating each unit several times till I reach a point where I don’t really know how many Raka’s I’ve prayed. Same problem…
I understand that for our Duas to get answered we first need to develop certainty that Allah will fulfill them. But knowing myself, I cease to have this sense of certainty. I know it’s wrong, and I’ve discussed this issue with many of my friends and those who have a good deal of Islamic knowledge……
I’m a 19- year old Muslim girl living in Netherlands with my family. I’m not a Hijabi, yet I consider myself more on the conservative side. But not accepting the fact that I am different than most of my colleagues and so-called friends puts me in situations where I have to compromise… Dear Counselor, Salams,…

“We are a young Muslim family and we’ve just settled down in the US this last 4 years. My wife and her family have been here from the last 15 years and we moved closer to their home to make it easy and convenient for both us and them. And there started the problem…” Assalamu…
