  • Jealousy,envy,hatred,backbiting with Imam Raqeeb Abdul Jabbar

    Jealousy,envy,hatred,backbiting with Imam Raqeeb Abdul Jabbar
    2025/02/08
    'Do you know what backbiting is?' They replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best'. He said, It is saying something about your brother which he would dislike' Someone asked 'What if I say something about my brother which is true?' The Prophet (peace be on him) replied, If what you say of him is true, it is backbiting and if it is not true you have slandered him.''
    When a person dislikes someone, he is likely to find faults in his appearance, behavior, lineage, and anything else which pertains to him. 'Aishah narrated that she said to the Prophet (pece be on him),
    "Do you see that Safiyyah (another wife of the Prophet) is such and such?" meaning that she was short. The Prophet (peace be on him) replied,
    "You have spoken a word such that, if it were mixed in the water of the ocean, it would darken it."?
    Backbiting is nothing but a desire to belittle people, to slander their honor, and to deride their accomplishments in their absence.
    Since this is stabbing in the back, it is an expression of narrow-mindedness and cowardice. Backbiting is a negative trait, and only those engage in it who themselves are not achievers. It is a tool of destruction, for one who is addicted to it leaves no one without throwing a dart at him and wounding him.
    It is no wonder then, that the Qur'an paints such a repulsive picture of this vile habit as would make people shrink from it in horror:
    And do not…..backbite one anther; would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor that. (49:12)
    Since one feels sick at the very thought of eating human flesh, how much more revolting it is to think of eating the flesh of one's dead brother!
    Whenever an opportunity arose, the Prophet (peace be on him) stressed this Qur'anic imagery in order to imprint it on peoples' hearts and minds. Here's a glimpse of our profound conversation. As Ramadan approaches, we hope this discussion motivates us all to introspect, evolve, and embody the universal values of compassion and empathy that rise above faiths, offering invaluable lessons for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

  • Our Hero my father

    Our Hero my father
    2024/06/16
    This show is a humble dedication to my father Muhammad Atiq Abdush Shahid (RA). We decided to give a brief recap of his life's work and achievements. He was committed to his country,community, and his family. Due to the amount of lives he positively contributed to and the role that he plays in American history, we wanted to dedicate not only season 3 of the podcast, but also this specific episode to him because he is my hero AND my father.

    My father's birthday is in March and we considered doing an episode for him then. However, we waited until the last 10 days of Ramadan when our hearts are most pure. Still, we considered uploading on Veterens Day because he was in the military. Even then we decided to wait. My father was a great man for many people. But for me, he was a great father, so we decided to share with everyone on Father's Day.
    Disclaimer: I would like to apologize in advance if anyone in the family of Shaikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani (our spiritual guide) is offended if I misspoke in any way.
