Nasiha Corner:
Topic: What measures have any of us put in place so that we can one day ‘die as Muslims’?
Please think, what will keep us going until we reach our graves? And what will protect us from the whispers of shaitan and the love of the dunya (money/ business/ job / family …)?
Every one of us must have a life plan. A sincere one.
Why not make the qur’an the direct source of our inspiration, motivation, ideas and styles of dawah, and an arbitrator for solving our life’s other minor problems.
Putting aside time to do ‘that which is necessary to fulfill the waajib, is waajib in itself’.
Watch this, this should motivate us to understand what’s in the Qur’an:

Found an excellent learning aid for learning qur’anic arabic. This teacher goes through lesson by lesson from the world renowned Medinan book series very thoroughly (2.5 hours of video covering each lesson!). (Please post here if any of you know of other good resources.)

You can buy the Medinan Book Series from the internet. Let me know if you need help and ideas on getting started.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the straight path until we reach our graves. Ameen
