My Faiths Goal
May Allah Ta’ala grant us His Love and the Love of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) , such that it becomes easy to give up all sins and submit to His Obedience. May He protect us all from the mischief of nafs and Shaytaan. May He fill our hearts with Love, Adab, Akhlaq and Sabr for this beautiful Deen and inspire us in being a practical and good Muslims and be true role-models to our community.

- Sahih Muslim
Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah

What is Kifarah
In Islam, Kifarah (or kaffarah) means "what you give, you get back". It is a concept similar to karma but is viewed as divine justice from Allah, meaning good deeds receive good returns and bad deeds result in negative consequences. Kifarah can manifest as punishments for wrongs committed or as a specific form of atonement, such as feeding the poor for breaking an oath.
Key aspects of Kifarah:
Divine Justice:
Unlike karma, which is self-generated, Kifarah is understood as God's way of balancing things and ensuring fairness.
"What you give, you get back":
This phrase encapsulates the core idea, emphasizing that both positive and negative actions have repercussions.
Debt of deeds:
Actions like breaking a promise or hurting someone's intentions can create a "debt against your name" that will be paid back by Allah.
Atonement (Kaffarah):
The term "kaffarah" is also used for a specific act of penance or compensation for a sin or infraction, such as violating the restrictions of the Hajj pilgrimage or breaking an oath. Examples of Kifarah:
Reparation for sins:
If you break an oath, you might be required to compensate by feeding sixty hungry people, which is a form of Kifarah or atonement for the breach of a promise to God.
Experiencing the pain you caused:
If you betray someone, you may eventually experience that same pain yourself, as Allah ensures that the hurt you caused returns to you.
