Many people around the world are going through difficult times due to natural disasters, wars and other calamities. Some cannot find healthy living conditions, others lack adequate nutrition and medical care, and still, others are unable to access proper education and a safe environment. In search of a better future for their children, they are forced to seek refuge in safe cities and regions. Severe conflicts and attacks cause many people to abandon their homes. Villages are left empty and people migrate to other places.

Call to Conscience

03. November 2023

The word "Wijdane" is derived from the Arabic verb "wajada," which means "to find" or "to discover." It is used to refer to what a person finds or discovers within their own conscience or heart. Just as in the external world, in the "Mawjudat" (creation), we find many signs of creation, in our inner world, in our "Wijdane" (conscience), we also discover countless signs of Allah (swt).

Call to Humanity

27. October 2023

Human life is sacred and must be preserved. Its value is primarily obtained through the most beautiful creation of Allah (swt). Each individual is honoured by their inherent nature that makes them human. Our Prophet (saw) emphasised the shared value in human nature by stating that no child is born except on Fitra[1]. Without a doubt, being created as a human is a display of a unique mercy. Furthermore, by being recipients of divine revelation, humans have achieved a value that mountains and all other creatures could not bear.

Call for Justice and Mercy

Our religion, Islam, is a religion of peace, justice and mercy. According to Islam, all individuals have the right to freedom of religion, life and property. Our Prophet, Muhammad (saw), sent as a mercy to all of humanity, taught us that there is a moral and legal framework even in times of war. He instructed us that even in times of conflict, women, the elderly, children, places of worship and even plants and animals should never be harmed.

Enjoin Good, Forbid Evil

12. October 2023

The Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (saw) has been addressed by Allah (swt) with the command: “Let there arise from you a community inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. And these are the successful.

Consuming Halal and Pure Blessings

05. October 2023

We, as humans, depend on food to sustain our lives in this world we have been sent to. It is impossible for us to live without food. Our religion, Islam, which provides a way of life, has not left us to our own decisions in this matter.

“The Unifying Aspect of Prayer, the Contemplative Side of Worship”

29. September 2023

At the centre of the communication between Allah and His servants is "revelation." The Almighty Allah, who created humanity in the most perfect form and sent them to this world, did not sever communication with them.
