Pearls of the Quran

"I Am as My Servant Thinks of Me" Husn al-Dhann

We’re honored to share Shaykh Yahya Rhodus on the foundational virtue of husn al-dhann billah—cultivating a good opinion of Allah. This talk walks us from the blessings of Jumu‘ah to the heart of qadr, actions of the heart, tawakkul, and the Prophet’s ﷺ model of hope in the cave with Abu Bakr (R).

The Ties That Bind: Marriage & Taqwa

Marriage is not a social invention—it’s divine design. In this session from Pearls of the Conference 2024, Shaykh Riad Saloojee reminds us that families are “projected” from ar-Rahman’s mercy: ties of kinship (rahim) are sacred, and whoever connects them, Allah connects to Himself.

Run to Allah: Tawbah & the True Seeker

We were created to seek Allah, and to return “home.” In this Pearls 2024 reminder, Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui teaches the path of the true seeker: ṣidq (truthfulness), riḍā (contentment), ṣabr (steadfastness), ḥayā’ (reverent modesty), and tawbah naṣūḥ (sincere repentance).

Change, Qadr, and the Believer’s Heart

We live in a world of constant change—dār al-taqallubāt. In this Pearls of the Conference 2024 reminder, Shaykh Yasir Fahmy calls us to surrender to Allah’s decree, find serenity in the shifts of the dunya, and commit to daily inner change through Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.

The Next Generation

"I raised you like I raised an army of men." The words of Dr. Zainab's late father who raised her and her sister. How can we raise the next generation to be an example for humanity?

Rising After The Fall

Allah defines us as a community, not as a community of sinners, but as a community of repenters. Ustadha Muslema Purmul gives a beautiful insight into how we can always work through our mistakes and find our way back.

Sticks and Stones

When toxic speech can now spread worldwide by simply pressing a button, understanding the lasting impact of our words has never been more important. While different forms of communication and interaction continue to evolve, guarding the tongue remains an essential characteristic of a healthy spiritual life.

The Art of Contemplation

What made a man like Steven Hawking, epitomize disbelief? Was he not endued with understanding? Could he not be contemplative? Can scientific knowledge be the final arbiter of truth?

Getting Through The Pain

We all go through tough times in life, some more than others. How we deal with those challenges will shape our lives forever.

Your Ego Will Destroy You!

Our unchecked egos will surely lead us astray. But how do we overcome the tribulations of the nafs? Shaykh Yasir Fahmy discusses ways that we can overcome our lower selves and methods to prevent our egos from destroying us.

With Difficulty Comes Ease - Shaykh Yasir Fahmy

What is our attitude when we face difficulties?

Who do we look to and what do we do?

Navigating Hardship - Shaykha Muslema Purmul

There will always be challenges in our lives, but hardships are never meant to break us. The Messenger of God ﷺ experienced many challenges in life. How did he handle these difficulties without allowing them to overwhelm him?
