A week or so ago, millions perhaps hundreds of millions of people all over the World settled on their New Years resolutions for 2014. Lists of things that they are determined, at least for now, to change about themselves.

But as Muslims we do not need to wait until a new year to decide to be better or healthier people. As guided by Allah we must do this every day.

The evidence seems to show that people are very bad at keeping their grand resolutions and most often fail to keep up with their good intentions, so Allah has put in place a special mechanism to make sure we as Muslims do not falter from our intentions as that is called the Five Daily Prayers.

New Year’s Resolutions

People make large resolutions at the new years, only to forget them a few weeks later. The Holy Quran tells us that even if we do an atom’s worth of good we will see a reward for it. So, if we make a small resolution and keep to it that is much more achievable and useful. We will benefit from it. But a Muslim makes a resolution every [...]

The Promised Messiah’s solution was to say that we should look at the [...]

In Islam a murder has to be seen with the eye but in the recent trial of two suspects in the Stephen Lawrence case this was not so. The conviction was based on scientific evidence so should his killers have gone free? If not why can we not apply science to sighting the moon as well. The point about “sighting” is reliability i.e. when you [...]
