A collection of articles, books & videos that deal with the most important part of human makeup, our spirituality (Tasawaff)
With the name of Allah most Beneficient, ever Merciful
Islam is not about ritualistic prayer only but it is more importantly about learning about ourselves, grooming our characters, unlocking our spiritual powers, experiencing true love and most importantly it is about getting to know and experience our Creator (attaining ‘EMAAN’).
Our website has articles on such topics which are presented in a very scientific way using reason, logic and research.
It also has articles that tackle very important, critical issues that Muslims and humanity is currently facing such as divorce, materialism, how to avoid being deceived and so forth. Basically, tips on how to live a happy, fulfilled life.
These articles were written over a span of many years starting off in 2003 and they were published by way of a free annual newspaper called The Rabbiul Awwal Special. This newspaper was distributed in Mosques in Durban.
Our Articles will make a difference towards making your life better. Insha- Allah.
Out of all our articles, we chose this 2012 article as our opening article of the electronic web site of the Rabbiul Awwal Special.

“And only he (will prosper) who brings to Allah a sound heart.”Al Quran Sura Ash-Shuraa 26:89.
With the name of Allah,the Most Gracious, the ever Merciful.
Heart, in this context is the seat of feelings and love, and love in Islam holds a very high pedestal, even higher than all our acts of prayer. Abu Zarr (RA) reports that the Prophet Salalahu Alayhe Wasallam came to us and asked:
“Do you know which of the actions is dearest to the Glorious Allah? Someone replied prayer and charity and someone else said Jihad. The Holy Prophet Salalahu Alayhe Wasallam said: The action dearest to the Almighty Allah is love for Allah’s sake and hate for Allah’s sake.”Al Hadis. 1:4:29:273.

Article 2 of the Rabbiul Awwal Special.
Discernment
A fundamental trait of a good Muslim is the ability to discern — to distinguish between right from wrong, truth from falsehood, and to pursue that which truly matters, as opposed to worldly trivialities.
“…And Allah never guides a people who cannot discriminate between right and wrong.” — Al-Qur’an, 3:86
Emaan
From being a Muslim we must grow ourselves to being a ‘mo’min’ (a believer knowing Allah, having Faith). This process of growing our faith or ’emaan’ entails perfecting our characters and growing our spirituality to become the all powerful, enlightened beings that Allah SWT created us to be.
[Listen to an audo clip of an interview that gives us lovely insights into this all important topic of ’emaan’

Note: our first article, love, the cure to all our woes, is practicing ’emaan’ at the highest level and our second article on Discrimination is one of the points from where we can start off on this journey towards knowing our Creator.
Islam teaches that attaining FAITH is the all important goal of a Muslim.
From the Holy Quraan, 6:82:
”It is only those who believe and have not polluted their faith with associating partners with Allah, to whom belongs peace (and salvation). It is these alone who are rightly guided.”
and from the sayings of The Holy Prophet, peace be upon him:
“that Allah has prohibited from the fire of hell for anyone bearing witness that there is no deity but Allah and Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah with a sincere belief in his heart.” Al Hadith 1:1:2:21.
So, the main focus or goal of Islam is to guide people towards realising and knowing our Creator, ALLAH and finally, loving Him.
Over the years the Rabbiul Awwal Special has done many articles and videos on Emaan.
