Faith Fridays - No Regrets This Ramadan by Imam Khalid Latif [VIDEO]

Every Friday we hope to bring you a khutbah or short lecture in English that we feel may be of benefit to you. Think of it as a weekly khutbah from a different perspective. All you need to do is spend 30 minutes (or less) a week to learn something new. If you have any suggestions on a video that we should share please send us an email via "Write for Us". Ramadhan is upon us alhamdulillah. How many of us have stopped to make du'a to Allah that we see this year's Ramadhan, or that the people we love see Ramadhan this year? How many people that we know have passed away in the weeks leading up to Ramadhan. Imagine getting to this point only for Allah to take you back to Him. We all know Ramadhan is a great month and a wonderful blessing, and we know we should reap it's benefits again and again...

Of World Cup, Shaaban and Ramadhan

This piece was written by YMP President Khairul last year after he experienced the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Unfortunately time did not permit us to post this up much earlier (we only have a week left before Ramadhan) but there are still many lessons to be learned from it. Assalamualaikum, How's everyone? I pray Allah's guidance is upon all of us and He blesses us with all that is good. What did you guys think of the World Cup? I'm sure it left as quickly as it arrived. Conveniently I was supporting Spain =D As some of you know, alhamdulilah I managed to experience the World Cup fever in South Africa and it was definitely an experience to remember. It's obvious that there's many aspects of it that, as Muslims, we don't...

Because You're Worth It - The Real Issues: with Sheikh Yahya Ibrahim

***Please note this is a LADIES ONLY event.*** If you ask the question "What is a woman's purpose in life?" what do you think the answer would be? A mother? A wife? A housewife? Wrong! A woman's purpose in life, is just like a man's purpose in life - that is to worship Allah. Our times are difficult and being a girl is hard. We are expected to manage the home, take care of the kids and work to help contribute to the family's finances. How do we juggle our roles and be true to our faith? While the answer is by no means easy it does start with a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of women in Islam, because that sets the standard by which everything we do can be compared to. In this special ladies only event Sheikh Yahya...
