MEANING OF SABR  As-Sabr (patience) by Sheikh 'Ata bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah ﴿وَاسْتَعِينُوا ْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَوةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ لا تَشْعُرُونَ وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّ كُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوفْ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الاٌّمَوَالِ وَالاٌّنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّـبِرِينَ - الَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّـآ إِلَيْهِ رَجِعونَ - أُولَـئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَتٌ مِّن رَّبْهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ ﴾  “And seek help in patience and As-Salah (the prayer). Truly, Allah is with As-Sabirin. And say not of those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead.'' Nay, they are living, but you do not sense (that).

Waseem Abu Ilyas The mass movement of people across Europe has been described in the last week as the biggest refugee crisis to hit Europe since World War II. Thousands of refugees are now crisscrossing the continent looking for sanctuary from their war torn and broken lives. Walking along railway tracks, traveling on boat and some ultimately suffocating in the backs of trucks; men, women and children are going to extraordinary lengths to escape their homelands.

Abdullah Michael Vivash returned to his Lord Allah (swt) on Thursday 3rd September 2015. He lived a life which was extraordinary and inspired many around him with his courage and devotion to Islam. He was born in Australia, fought in the Vietnam war and even became a professional boxer, however he never achieved tranquility and bore witness to the problems endemic in Western societies. It was only after his conversion to Islam that he found true peace and tranquility. He used his journey to Islam to inspire thousands of Muslims and he reminded them of the importance of re-establishing the Khilafah Rashida as a true beacon of justice and tranquility for mankind. His life will remain and inspiration even after his passing. May Allah (swt) grant him the highest abode in Jannah and forgive his shortcomings and raise him with the pious on the day of Judgement. Ameen. “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest”  (TMQ 13:28)
