Imagine a place where the thirst for knowledge knew no limits, where the wisdom of the ancients met the curiosity of the present. Welcome to the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, a jewel of the Islamic Golden Age, home to an astounding collection of around 17,000 manuscripts.
Manuscripts — documents written by hand, often adorned with beautiful calligraphy — contained the world’s knowledge before the age of printing.
This magnificent library was more than a repository of books; it was a centre of innovation, where scholars of different backgrounds and schools gathered to study, teach, & enhance the knowledge passed down from generations before them.
The House of Wisdom exemplifies the power of curiosity & the relentless pursuit of knowledge. These scholars knew that every manuscript held a piece of the puzzle in understanding the world and improving it. Their dedication shows us that by valuing and cultivating knowledge, we empower individuals, uplift communities, & advance civilisations.

At its peak, the Mughal Empire was a marvel of unity, diversity, and prosperity. Spanning from the early 16th to the mid-19th century, this colossal realm was home to over 100 million souls — that’s nearly a quarter of the world’s population at the time!
The Mughals showed us the remarkable feats humanity can achieve with vision and unity. They built an empire that demonstrated administrative genius, military strength, and economic prosperity.
But their true legacy lies in their ability to dream big and work tirelessly to turn those dreams into reality. They harnessed the collective power of over 100 million people to create a civilisation that was impressive to the rest of the world.
We learn from their story to dream big, work hard, and remember that the strength of a community lies in its unity and collective effort. Let’s channel the spirit of the Mughal Empire to achieve our own lofty goals and create a future filled with prosperity and success.

Visualise Hājar (ʿalayha al-Salām), accompanied by her young son, left by Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi al-Salām) in the barren valley of Makkah with only a small supply of provisions.
As their resources dwindled and the cries of thirst echoed from her son, the situation seemed hopeless. And yet, Hājar’s faith remained unshaken (ʿalayha al-Salām).

The divine assistance of 3,000 angels during the Battle of Badr is a representation of strength that continues to inspire us to this day.
This monumental day, when a modest group of companions found themselves facing a vastly larger adversary, is an example of the power of divine support and the impact of steadfast belief in Allah.
The Qur'ānic revelation that 3,000 angels were dispatched to aid our predecessors served as a reassurance that Allah's support is always within reach for those who stand firm in belief and righteousness. This moment in our history showed how spiritual strength and divine backing can turn the tide against overwhelming odds.
For us as a community, the Battle of Badr and the celestial assistance sent teaches us that, regardless of the challenges we face, with faith and trust in Allah, support can manifest in ways beyond our understanding.
It really encourages us to remain steadfast in our beliefs & persevere through trials with patience and determination.

Imagine a thriving community nestled in the valleys and mountains of the Thamūd. Renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, they carved magnificent homes into the mountainsides, creating an architectural marvel of their era.
Yet, amidst their prosperity, a seed of arrogance sprouted. Wealth and power blinded them to the importance of humility and gratitude, leading them down a perilous path.

The government is seeking to kettle Muslims while falsely portraying us as extreme in our way of life.
It is due to this arrogance that Michael Gove has ploughed ahead with what will be remembered as the continuation of years of anti-Muslim policies by government — broadening the already highly controversial definition of “extremism”.

Being one man against an oppressive and hostile people set upon immorality, sin, and disbelief, Prophet Lūt (ʿalayhi al-Salām) was strong in his īmān (faith) and tawakkul (trust) in Allah.
His purpose was to lead them back from wickedness to righteousness, from disbelief to belief, and to warn them of the inevitable consequences their actions would bring, if they continued down this path.

Approximately spanning an incredible 4.24 million square miles at its zenith, the Muslim empire reminds us of the tremendous strength and unity that this Ummah is capable of.
This vast expanse was a superb achievement in territorial reach, but also a masterful demonstration of how our predecessors pursued the goal of making Allah’s Word the highest.
Together, we navigated diverse landscapes, from bustling cities and lush valleys to serene deserts and majestic mountains, each adding a unique element to our diverse reach.
Let this historical milestone inspire us to embrace the power of unity, to learn from our previous achievements, and to continue working towards rediscovering our collective strength.

The Prophet’s 23-year journey (ﷺ) of conveying the message of Islam is a remarkable example of unwavering commitment.
This period, which spans from the first revelation in the Cave of Hira to the Prophet's passing (ﷺ), encapsulates a transformative era for the entire world.
These 23 years also represent the significant strength required to challenge the status quo, overcome adversity, and foster a community united under the banner of monotheism.
Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ faced immense opposition, yet his resolve never wavered. His journey teaches us the power of patience, the virtue of perseverance, and the importance of steadfastness in belief.

Hunger and thirst are not the only obstacles during this month. A common complaint, especially amongst fasting Muslims required to work with others, is bad breath.

The people of ‘Ād were known for their impressive buildings that scraped the sky; they were also known for their wealth, both of which led them to become arrogant and forgetful of Allah.
They refused to believe in Allah’s Oneness and worshipped idols, setting the stage for a period of immense hardship — both spiritual and physical — that would test Prophet Hūd (ʿalayhi al-Salām) and his followers to their core.
