The History of Hijab
One may argue, the hijab is most associated with the religion of Islam. So, questions like “when was hijab made obligatory in Islam?” are valid to ask.

You and Your Nafs: Practical Steps to Discipline Yourself
It’s important to remember that feeling motivated to stay on top of our nafs and its desires is great – but being disciplined about it is brilliant. And most importantly – that our success is only through the permission of Allah (S.W) so we must never forget to renew our intentions before taking up any action and seeking His aid.

The Emperor’s Old Clothes
You don’t expect a casual stroll through the sleepy suburbs of the Ghanaian capital to lead you to unearth anything sinister about shopping in the local high street of your home city in the UK. Worlds apart ... no?
However, as Dr Shaun Danquah recently discovered, the commanding landscape on the outskirts of Accra tells a multilayered story which is not so disconnected from the typical purchases we casually make in any Mango, Zara or H&M.

Striving in Salah
Amid our busy day-to-day routines, it’s easy to get lost in this Dunya. We forget that yes, the next task we have to do is important, but it isn’t the most important.
Nothing can be said to be more important than praying your five daily prayers on the day to day. Salah reminds us of the bigger picture, it reminds us that at the end of the day, this action determines our ultimate success.

The Company You Keep
Who we spend our time with truly has an impact on how we behave, how we think etc. But how can I tell whether or not my friendships are positively or negatively affecting me?
Firstly, think about how you spend your time with them; are you doing what is pleasing or displeasing to Allah? What do you speak about? Is there any backbiting or gossiping taking place?

Reflections in Time
The reality that colonialism is not behind us exists and Britain still reaps the rewards of its crimes. You can’t treat an issue if it remains undiagnosed and unfortunately racism in Britain is a mole that the white British populace are choosing to ignore.

Fearing the Unknown - How do we Face it?
The fear of the unknown is a common fear in us all. And if we’re not careful, it can be crippling. We are beings of expansive intelligence, we like to understand everything and everyone around us. But this, with no surprise, is impossible. There comes a point in life where we have to make the big acceptance that we, are not omniscient.
But how can we ease into that acceptance?
We Remember that Allah is all Knowing:
In the busyness and fast pace of life, we become disillusioned into thinking w

Don’t Lose to Lockdown
The whole world changed in a matter of days and we’re still not used to this new reality. Being cooped up in doors creates different challenges for us all; some of us are parents, some students, some of us are struggling more than others.
