| The 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah: Their Virtue and the Ruling of Fasting -
justabro |
| Allah, in His Perfect Wisdom, has blessed certain times and certain places with virtues and great rewards with which He has not graced others. Allah has made certain months, days and nights more virtuous than others, to motivate His slaves to increase in worship and righteous deeds, renew their energies and revitalize their Iman. Among those days are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. |

| Part 2: Following the Path of the People Before Us?
Now we that we know what ‘izzah is and its importance, let’s examine how we lost it, and how we will insha’Allah once again attain it. |
| The Topic Of Izzah -Part One -
AnonyMouse (Zainab bint Younus) |
| Part 1: The literary origin and the Islamic concept of al-‘izzah. |

| Tarek Mehanna's response to MuslimMatters -
Abu Sabaya |
| This is Tarek Mehanna's response to Ali Shehata's statements about him on MuslimMatters, statements which were sweeping false remarks, deemed highly untrue and unjust. |
| Is Voting Really Haram? -
Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad |
| Participation in a kufr system does not necessarily mean participation in kufr itself. It depends on the nature of such participation. |
| The Hidden Secret -
Safar ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Hawali |
| So, look at the potential that Allah has given us. Concentrate on it and you will find the most amazing things. |
| The anti-Islam Dutch film – comment, criticism and advice -
Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid |
| The conflict between truth and falsehood is an ancient one. The troops of falsehood continue to confront the truth at all times and in all places. But Allaah caused them to be defeated by the strength of the truth and He hurls the truth against falsehood and destroys it, so it is bound to vanish.

| Judging Others -
Ahmad al-Khudayrî |
| As Muslims, the default assumption we should have about other people in any matter is that they are free of blame. Islam demands fairness and impartiality when it comes to judging others. |
| Inner Balance -
Salman ibn Fahd al-'Awdah |
| It is good to unwind. It is good to take some time to reflect on life, to take delight in it and seek balance in the good things life has to offer. Sometimes this means we have to take a couple of steps back and look at things from a slightly different angle.

| Malcolm X: A Shining Example of Hikmah -
Fahad Ansari |

| These Are the Ones From Whom I Fear For the Jihad and the Mujahidin…! -
Abu Basir at-Tartusi |
| Indeed, those who are quick to demoralize and abandon their cause are known from their ambiguous words, as well as from their clear words. They are known, and are not hidden from anyone, and their evil is avoided. |
| Our Muslim Credibility Problem: It’s A Conspiracy -
Amir Butler |
| Muslims have a credibility problem. In the modern era, we have a tendency to believe and repeat wild theories, with our only criteria for accepting those theories being that they lend support to pre-existing attitudes. It takes an extremely sympathetic person to overlook such a deficiency, and sympathy for Muslims in a post 9/11 West is in short supply. |
| Rebuilding Faith -
Ismail Royer |
| Some of the writings of the late Mother Theresa were recently published wherein it was revealed that for years she suffered from doubts and estrangement from God. Some popular writers, advocates of atheism, were filled with joy at the news: if a champion of faith was secretly a doubter, they said, then the faith of the masses is yet more tenuous. I, a Muslim, am tempted to blame Mother Theresa's crisis on her worship of the Messiah along with God. Had she worshipped God alone, I would like argue, she would have been fulfilled. |
| Music: A Prohibited and Fake Message of Love and Peace -
Haytham bin Jawwad al-Haddad |
| The idea that music is a powerful medium to communicate values and social messages is merely an emotional and unscholarly view. Following on from our discussion on consensus and ijtihad, I would like to emphasise that a particular aim of this discourse is to present rational arguments without entering into details of Islamic law and textual proofs behind the impermissibility of using musical instruments. |
| When Ignorance Is An Excuse -
`Abd Allah b. Muhammad al-Tayyâr |
| The extent to which human ignorance can be regarded as excuse to exempt a person from sin and accountability in matters of Islamic Law is a matter that scholars have explored in depth. |
| Criteria for Determining What is Right -
Salman ibn Fahd al-'Awdah |
| These are some of the criteria by which we can determine what is right from what is in error.
