Salaam alaikum wa rahmatullai wa barakatohu my dear Brothers and Sisters,
So the topic this week is Quran and Sunnah, the very basis of our religion. The two sources from where our respected scholars gain their knowledge and from where our guidance as a Muslim Community is derived, Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah).

“A mother holds her children’s hands for a while…their hearts forever.”
I would like to share a moving story with you which brought tears to my eyes. It is a true epiphany on the importance of a mother and the nature of the power which she possesses and what mothers are capable of.

Reciting the Qur’an brings great reward.
“Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah will have one Hasanah or (reward) for doing so, and every Hasanah will be multiplied by 10. I do not say that ‘Alif, Lam, Meem’ is one letter, but ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘Lam’is a letter and ‘Meem’ is a letter.” (Reported by At-Tirmidhi)

There is a hadith that leaves me in awe each time I read it and it is amongst the most important advice we can attain in life, where the Prophet (PBUH) said:
”There are three things which if they are present in anyone that will cause him to taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah (SWT) and His Messenger are…

To the best of man, who would come to save
The world from ignorance and superstition,
And replace it with true intellect and submission.
“Read!” it was revealed so long ago,
Over 23 years we would come to know,
Of a supreme legacy, forever preserved,
Bestowed with a gift barely deserved,
