If you are physically and financially able, then the greatest righteous deed to perform during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah is hajj. Prophet Muahmmad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The best deed is an accepted hajj.”[2] (Narrated by Abu Hurayrah - Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim).

The word minhāj [Guiding Way] follows the Arabic morphological pattern mif‹āl, a form often used to designate instrumental nouns, as in miftāḥ [key]; yet it can also denote a verbalnoun, as in mi‹rāj [ascending ladder], or a place-name, as in mirṣād
Western civilization today stands utterly bare, stripped of every value save the material and utilitarian gain—measured in profit and loss, in investment and pursuit of return. Materialism has become the true creed of Western democracies, Christian though in name, just as it is the dogma of communist socialisms, which are atheist by principle
In developing his framework of the Fraternal Community [al-‹Umrān al-Akhawī], Imam Abdessalam Yassine offers a profound intellectual reexamination of democratic concepts, chief among them the notion of citizenship. His approach is both probing and integrative

The two years since the Al-Aqsa Flood of October 7th have been both long and wide. Long in their sorrow and suffering for the people of Palestine, and wide in their profound, earth-shaking consequences for the entire world.
