Proper Belief in God
Some people don’t have the proper belief in God by saying that God is a man, and by painting a picture of a male figure and calling that figure “God”. Always remember and know that God is not like you or me. God is not a man, or a woman; God is not similar to His creation.
We know that people say these lies because we hear people saying them on T.V. If people say them on...

A Prophet of Islam - Prophet Adam [Part 2]
Every person comes from Prophet Adam. Everyone. Good people, bad people, dark skinned people, light skinned people, intelligent people, and ignorant people all come from Prophet Adam.
Prophet Adam himself was a very honorable man. He was a Prophet, so that means that Allah endowed him with firm faith and belief all his life. He never blasphemed, but instead he worshipped Allah only. His first...

“Don’t be a blind imitator saying if people do good, I will do good and if they oppress, I will oppress. Rather stand firm so that if a people do good then do good yourself and if they were to harm you, do not wrong them” - Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]

The Creator is not like His creation.
Whatever picture you see is not God. Whatever picture that might pop into your mind is not God. God, Who created humans, angels, and jinn is not like any of them. God is not like the soul, fire, air, or bodies.
God is not light. He is not even a strong light. God created very strong lights which we cannot look at and God is not like them. Whatever a person imagines in his mind, God is different...

Side note: This is my belief, so please respect it even if you don’t agree with it.
If a person dies as an obedient Muslim he will enter Paradise without any torture. He will live there forever, enjoying all the pleasures of Paradise without his pleasure ending.

The Human Condition
“All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds; and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere; and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry.”

His Musk
Anas Ibn Mālik (Allāh be pleased with him): The Prophet ﷺ came to us and talked to us, and he ﷺ used to sweat. My mother [Umm Sulaym] brought a long-necked bottle [qārūrah] and put in it the sweat.
The Prophet ﷺ woke up and said: “O Umm Sulaym what is this?”
She said: “We add it to our perfume.”
It was the best of perfume.

What Jihad is NOT
Jihad is not a violent concept.
Jihad is not a declaration of war against other religions. It is worth noting that the Koran specifically refers to Jews and Christians as “people of the book” who should be protected and respected. All three faiths worship the same God. Allah is just the Arabic word for God, and is used by Christian Arabs as well as Muslims.
Military action in...
