I was born in Scotland to a house which was atheist. In our house, we were not allowed ever to speak about God, and even if we learned something in school, we were not allowed to say anything or we would be punished.
I began to look again closely at the beauty of Islam, the science of Islam, and the life of Muhammad (peace be upon him). I began looking at all the fundamentals of Islamic Faith and marveled at each one. The way that Muslims prayed and humbled themselves before Allah 5 times per day, served as a constant reminder that they were mortal and following a higher power.

From birth to death there's a whole drama in between. How do you fill that gap? Is your life still a series of reactions to what happens to you or what you go through?
How close are we to God? Are you one of those taking faith for granted? What acts of worship could get us closer to God to be of His faithful servants?
By: ibn Al-Qayyim God strikes a parable about His light within the heart of His servant, which only the learned understand: ‘God is the light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is a niche in which there is a lamp. The lamp is in a [...]

Over 3000 Muslim athletes competed in the Olympics earlier this summer and at the same time it was Ramadan. Like thousands of my constituents in Leicester, many of those athletes will have observed the fast. With this in mind this year I wanted to make an effort to appreciate Ramadan on a much deeper and indeed personal level.
