Reflection delivered on January 26th, 2018 All Prophets have been chosen through Allah’s Grace to be the inheritors of knowledge that stretches beyond time and space.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) being the ultimate recipient of God’s grace, we accept him as possessing a scope and depth...
Reflection delivered on January 19th, 2018 Service of God is derived from knowledge, and this makes knowledge one of our greatest ‘inamat (blessings). In this Friday reflection, Shaykh Amin explains why a recognition of this concept and embracing this great blessing will transform us into a true Muslim nation that is uncompromisingly proud of our mode of Divine servitude.
Reflection delivered on June 25, 2017 In this Eid message, Shaykh Amin presents us with a retrospective view of the Ummah’s adherence to Islam’s civilizational code through the ages.

Reflection delivered on June 17, 2017 There is no greater ʿibādah (worship) after the obligatory acts than the recitation of the Qurʾān.

Reflection delivered on June 9, 2017 On this fifteenth night of Ramadan, Shaykh Amin elaborates on how to go about supplicating Allah ﷻ for His ﷻ maghfirah (forgiveness) and the practical prerequisites to such supplication. “The greatest Raḥmah (mercy) is being able to acknowledge that we are unworthy of Raḥmah.”
Reflection delivered on June 3, 2017 Our love for RasulAllah ﷺ must be accompanied by a love and concern for his ummah. This level of raḥmah (mercy) between believers must manifest through sincere and consistent duʿāʾ (supplication) for our misguided brothers and sisters. Sincere duʿāʾ (supplication) is key to attracting the Raḥmah (Mercy) of the divine. It is the only...
Reflection delivered on June 2, 2017 The real manifestation of Allah’s ﷻ ‘Raḥmah’ (Mercy) in this month is that a believer is drawn to remembrance and worship to a much greater degree than the pursuits of this world.
