What you have already given was destined for those who now own it. And whatever befalls you in life cannot have been avoided, because Allah has decreed it.

Ibn `Umar relates that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) placed his hand on his shoulder and said: “Be in the world as if you are a stranger or a traveler.” Thereafter, Ibn `Umar used to say: “When the night comes, do not wait for the day, and when the day comes, do not wait for the night. Take from your health for your sickness, and take from your life for your death.” #sahih #bukhari

We returned to the Qorban area in Doha this Eidul Adha, after our first visit two years ago. This time, @ellepses came along with us to see how the Qorban is carried out here. Some animals were still pouring in when we arrived. Here you see the unloading of the sacrifice. #doha #qatar #instadoha #instaqatar #eidqa #eiduladha (at Mawashi Live Stock Market)

Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a.): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a #camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba." #hadith #bukhari It is this that cause me to try to get there early every week, yet, inconsistent I have been.. This narration was shared in the sermon today. May Allah make it easy for all to arrive early every week as we strive and hope for His rewards. #islam #instaqatar #iphoneasia

JABALIA REFUGEE CAMP : A Palestinian boy carries a mattress as he makes his way through the rubble of a house hit by an Israeli military strike in the Jabalia refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, on August 9, 2014. Israeli warplanes pounded targets in Gaza, a day after killing at least five Palestinians, and militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel after attempts to extend a three-day truce stalled.

The idea is simple. If you get one of these green packets during Eidul Fitri (or Hari Raya Aidil Fitri), you can keep what is inside it. However, if you feel that a particular group of people in this world today needs it more than you do, give it to them. There are plenty of organizations still collecting funds. Since this is a Limited Edition, you may not get one of these. So please share this video, for after watching it, someone might decide to donate their green packet gift for humanitarian aid to Gaza. Thank you. #savegaza #freegaza #prayforgaza #ramadhansg #instasg #iphoneasia

I have never cried for not being allowed to come along with the elders to perform my prayers in congregation at a nearby musollah. On the other hand, you do. So we let you come along eventually. I think at your age, I was overjoyed I could stay at home! 😝 You followed the congregation diligently for Ishak prayer in the row in front of mine, between two "Toks" (Grandpas), before sleeping through "Terawih" prayers. Hehe. If you ever get to read this post when you grow up, do know that such purity of heart you have and the profound things you say about Faith was already there when you were two. You're such an inspiration and may Allah always keep you in His protection. #islam #ramadhansg #instasg

For a period of time, I drove past this almost weekly. Each time, I was trying to figure out the entire typography, switching my gaze back and forth. Road, rock. Rock, road. One day, I decided to pull over to satiate my curiousity. It says, "Glory be to Allah. Allah is the Greatest. There is no power and strength except with Allah." No place on earth too random for such reminders. #islam #arabictypography #instaqatar #iphoneasia

My Dear Friends, Why? Why didn't you recognize the beautiful teachings of Islam when your own Muslim friends practice values such as sincerity, gentleness, kindness and gratitude, towards you? Instead, when the misinformed media spreads negativity and attacks Islam, you jump on their bandwagon without any hesitation? Why? 😔 Even if you and I are not close friends, aren't our friendships personal and stronger than the connection you have with the media? Where is your learning and, Where is your love? Where did you and I go wrong? Where did... I go wrong? #islam #iphoneasia #igsg #instaqatar
