“Don’t worship Allah so He may give you. Rather, worship Him so He may be pleased. For when He is pleased, He will astonish you with His Gifts.”
By the dawn
And the ten nights
And the even and the odd
O you tranquil soul!
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing
[al-Fajr: 1-3; 27-28]
Loftiness is attained in accordance to one’s struggles,
And whoever seeks nobility, remains vigilant by night.
Whoever wishes to achieve without due effort,
Will waste their life seeking what’s impossible.
You search for glory and yet you sleep at night,
It’s only the seeker of pearls who dives deep into the sea.
– Imam al-Shafi’i, al-Diwan

Video: Napoleon from Outlawz
From being shot 9 times and being involved in a gang to witnessing the murders of his parents and many friends, Napoleon, Tupac’s friend and ex-music partner in the Outlawz tells his story from the gangster lifestyle to practising Islam.
This video is recommended for all to watch especially our youth who have been caught up in the ‘thug lifestyle’ and the music industry.
From someone who can honestly say he’s been there, done that… take some sincere advice from the brother.
Hope it benefits all inshaa’Allaah
