We are not a nation whose victories are measured by the result of a match. Nations do not build their glory around an inflated piece of leather, nor is their dignity measured by a fleeting kick or the whistle of a referee.

Can “love is love” stand without limits, or does Islam offer a better moral compass for desire?
Recently, a troubling claim has been circulating: that certain writings on Islamic rulings may push readers toward atheism, on the grounds that they are “too strict” or present ideas that feel heavy upon the soul. In reality, this claim does not stop at mere criticism; it opens a wide door to confusion and a flawed understanding of the very nature of faith itself.

The disease of fanaticism is a serious intellectual and moral affliction. It requires careful study to uncover its hidden causes and subtle aspects that may not be immediately visible, in addition to its profound effects on thought and practice—and even on the rights of Muslims and the correct understanding of the Sharia of Allah تعالى.

Question: How can my emergence from Ramadan be different from every other year? How do I maintain my level of worship after Ramadan? How can I ensure that the state of my heart does not revert to what it was before? I fear becoming like the one who breaks her spinning after weaving it with strength.

But they are not sought from people, nor borrowed from the experiences of others. They are sought within your own heart… in the place of your sincerity… in your personal relationship with your Lord.

One of the most beautiful things Ramadan cultivates in the soul is a love for prayer. It is as if there is a profound and remarkable connection between fasting and prayer—two عظيمة obligations and foundational pillars of Islam that reinforce and strengthen one another.

The Muslim Ummah today endures the darkest era it has ever known throughout its history. I do not exaggerate when I say that it is no less dire than the calamity of the Mongols (Tatars), for the peril threatening its aspirations for revival is no longer confined to an external enemy that invades, pillages, and sheds blood. Rather, the danger has evolved into a disease of defeatism and feeble resolve, which has insidiously crept into the hearts of its own people, spreading like an infection and finding a nurturing ground.

In a recent decision, Switzerland has banned the niqab nationwide, imposing fines ranging from 100 to 1,000 Swiss francs for any violation of the ban. The initiative to ban the niqab in Switzerland had previously been introduced by the far-right Swiss People’s Party (SVP) and was approved in a referendum by 51.2% of the Swiss population in the spring of 1442 AH (March 2021).

Thus, not everyone lives the same story. Some are tested with solitude due to a lack of suitable marriage opportunities, while others may not have had the chance to get married because of their bad environment. There are those who received marriage proposals, yet none aligned with their aspirations, where compromises on faith and principles were demanded. Some may have married, only to find no peace or security in their union, leading to divorce. The reasons for continuing life without marriage are many.

Given the multitude of consultations I receive on a recurring and distressing issue, which is the attachment to an online persona and becoming entangled in it, I believe it is necessary to summarize three essential pieces of advice for Muslim women on social media, in the hopes of minimizing psychological losses and avoiding worse outcomes.

It isn’t unusual to describe “good treatment and affection” as one of the most significant and crucial reasons for the stability of homes. This characteristic is adorned by the faithful and wise woman, who earns reward and elevation in both this world and the Hereafter. This beautiful trait is a remedy for most family issues and serves as a strong safeguard against the collapse of familial structures. Therefore, the early generations paid great attention to it, to the extent that it was one of the first things a girl learned before marriage.

Faith is not a single, fixed state that, once attained, guarantees a person immunity from decline or collapse. Rather, it increases and decreases; it grows stronger in certain circumstances and may weaken in others.
