Ḥayāʾ (healthy shame) is without doubt from among the foundational moral qualities, so much so that the Prophet ﷺ deemed it the very hallmark of Islam by saying, “Every religion has its signature character trait, and the signature character trait of Islam is ḥayāʾ.”

There is no day or night that has been emphasized more than the night known as laylat al-qadr (the Night of Decree). The Qur’an’s 97th chapter is dedicated entirely to this night:
Indeed, We revealed [the Qur'an] during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. (97:1-5)
This paper discusses why this night is the best night to worship in, and how best to seek its rewards.

In this paper, Dr. Ovamir Anjum explores the art of worship and how to make the most of your Ramadan nights by seeking a deeper connection with Allah. Here are five practical tips on how to achieve this, and God-willing, have a successful and fulfilling Ramadan.

The Qur’an is more than a text to be recited; it is divine nourishment for our souls. Yet, its transformative power is only realized when we pause, ponder, and allow its wisdom to penetrate our hearts. Without reflection, even the most eloquent recitation may remain superficial, leaving the heart untouched.
This paper delves into the essence of tadabbur, exploring its spiritual significance, and sharing practical strategies to cultivate a deeper, more reflective engagement with the Qur’an.

Part 1 of our parenting series by Sarah Sultan and Najwa Awad discussed the importance of resilience in developing confident Muslim children, and introduced an Islamically Integrated Resilience Model (IIRM) for parenting that is inspired by Sūrah Luqmān in the Qur'an.
In this paper from the parenting series, we discuss the importance of attachment, and the crucial links between resilience in children and attachment to Allah, parents, and the righteous.
What is the importance of attachment in parenting and how can it affect spiritual and mental health?What do the Qur’an and Hadith teach us about attachment?How can parents foster their children’s attachment to Allah?What are concrete everyday actions we can take to help increase our child(ren)’s attachment to Allah?What are some important considerations we should keep in mind as we're trying to foster healthy attachment in our child(ren)?Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.

Why do some people accept Allah’s sovereignty intellectually, but not spiritually? Why do they struggle to surrender to His decrees and commands?
We believe that at the core of this spiritual struggle is a distortion in people’s perceptions of Allah. A distorted image of God fosters misunderstandings of the intent behind His commands and decrees, and subsequently rebellion.
The aim of this paper is to unpack how divergent understandings of God develop and, in turn, impact our worship, surrender to Him, and religious doubts.

The Qur’an was revealed long ago in a very different context. Some verses were revealed in direct response to specific events, addressing particular people and scenarios. Others are concerned with the prophets and nations of the past.
How does the Qur'an continue to be relevant for us in the modern age?Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.

Allah does not send us trials without also giving us the means to seek relief and to make our success easy. The real test of hardship goes beyond worldly concern and discomfort and extends to how we choose to respond to it.
So, how do we overcome what seems beyond our comprehension and control? How do we overcome anxiety, fear of the unknown, and feeling isolated, while finding purpose and solace?

The Prophet’s ﷺ marriage to Zaynab bint Jaḥsh (rA) stands unique among all of his marriages because of its explicit pronouncement in the Qur’an. Despite the stated theological, social, and legal goals the Qur’an posits as the reason for its contraction, the marriage has remained a topic of contention for centuries.
This paper examines the many internal and external contradictions that characterize the story, many of which render the lovestruck narrative logistically unfeasible. It will illustrate that, far from a marriage of convenience based on passion, it was a necessary one to enact social and specifically marital reform.Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.

There are a myriad of criticisms against Islam propagated by non-Muslims in today’s age. One of these criticisms accuses the Prophet ﷺ of marrying a child because of the ḥadīth mentioned in Bukhārī and Muslim.
This paper focuses on two questions. First, are the claims that she was actually in her teens when she married accurate and are they strong enough to make us discard ʿĀʾisha’s ḥadīth? Second, why did this become an issue in modern times when it was not an issue at the time the marriage took place?Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.

Many modern Muslims view the Islamic legal tradition as needing a complete overhaul with many among them calling to bypass the madhhabs in favor of the Qur’an and Sunnah. This approach is based on the incorrect assumption that the maddhabs are not evidence-based but simply the guesswork or opinions of a few jurists.
This paper on Exploring the Role of Islamic Schools of Law will explain what the madhhabs are, how they emerged and what their function is in Islamic law. Learn about the importance of the madhhabs and their relationship with the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Is Islam the final form of Allah’s guidance, meant to replace everything before it? Or is Islam, as is understood through the lens of perennialism, merely one valid religion amongst others?
This paper on Islam and the False Promise of Perennialism contextualizes perennialism as a response to the problem of religious diversity and evaluates this response in light of Islam’s own solution.

In recent years, few criticisms of Islam have taken the spotlight as much as condemnations of the Prophet’s marriage to Aisha. Muslims are accused of following the example of a man who had inappropriate relations with a 9-year-old girl. However, this criticism is based on fallacious reasoning.
This paper elucidates the flawed nature of accusations of the Prophet’s alleged immorality as well as how Islam teaches us to adapt the message of the Qur’an to changing circumstances.

Some of the greatest and most convincing testimonies to the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ are the numerous occasions on which he correctly predicted future events. Only one to whom God had granted access to the realm of the unseen could have, time and again, accurately foretold the future.
This paper will seek to capture some of these predictions—all derived from Qur’anic verses and authentic hadith—and how each one of them came to pass, just as he ﷺ predicted.

One of the most common accusations leveled against Islam involves the freedom of religion. The problem, according to critics: Islam doesn’t have any.
So what are these critics talking about?
Like the issues of stoning and hand chopping, apostasy—the generic act of renouncing or leaving one’s religion—in Islam can only be understood if one is willing to look beyond provocative headlines and delve into the nature of how jurisprudence developed in the pre-modern world and in Islam in particular.
