Defending the Transgressed by Censuring the Reckless against the Killing of Civilians

Women's Rights without Feminism

Acquiring the Prophetic Perception

The fact that there are still people who value leisure, who value contemplation, who value prayer and meditation, who value spending time with their families, rather than of more and more hours every day at the office in order to generate a heavier bank balance, more income in order to buy more techniques of destruction, is certainly a good sign.

He was one of the early formal Sufis in both the general and the literal sense, as he wore all his life a cloak of wool (suf). The son of a freedwoman of Umm Salama's (the Prophet's wife) and a freedman of Zayd ibn Thabit's (the Prophet's stepson), this great Imam of Basra, the leader of saints and scholars in his day, was known for his strict and encompassing embodiment of the Sunna of the Prophet.
