Simply by Googling “life”, we see countless articles trying to explain what life is, we see countless videos talking about life, and we see countless life quotes designed to motivate you and to get you through life - yet despite all of this content, life is still one big puzzle that no one can fully work out. Why? Because these answers are not coming from the One who created us. Like with anything created, the creator is the one who designs and determines the purpose of the thing they have created. We as humans are no different.

The fact is, every single day we wake up and we go about our day on autopilot, some of us take a step back and think about life - but when we think about it too much, it becomes too much of a burden so we switch autopilot back on and ignore these thoughts. But the reality is, no matter how much we silence these thoughts, they will always be there. What is life? Why am I here? What’s the point?

What I offer in this video isn’t “just another explanation” - but THE explanation provided by the creator of me and you and the world you see around you. Not only will this video explain the reality of life provided by God, in Islam - but it will also provide you with the SOLUTION to this harsh reality - the rest will lie with you.

If you are new to Islam - watch this video and deeply reflect on it after and I hope that you will have a big realisation by the end of it.

New video coming soon... (PLEASE READ!)

I have been hard at work on my next project, “The Reality of Life”, and it’s looking amazing so far, alhamdulilah! There is now a TRAILER available for it which I will link in the comments insha’Allah; but first, a few words...

As you guys know by now, production quality is my TOP priority. Why? To make learning about important topics entertaining and visually pleasing. For that, I am not willing to drop the quality of my projects at all.

However, to maintain this standard of quality, a lot of time, patience and resources are needed. On average, it takes about 3-4 months to produce just one video! From research, to scripting, to filming, to editing, to sound effects, to translating… it’s no quick task!

Why do I say all of this?

Because I cannot sustain this alone. For that, I have decided to create a fundraiser to fund this next project. This helps me dedicate more of my time to it without worrying too much about putting food on the table from other sources.

As for you, this is now a HUGE opportunity for Sadaqah Jariyah! By funding this project, you are able to track the progress of the film once it is released and you can see the effect it has on people and be comfortable knowing Allah is rewarding you for any good you see, insha’Allah! Not only that, but insha’Allah you will also be rewarded for every second I spend producing it.

Across all platforms, People of Islam has reached more than 1 million people in just a year! Many have accepted Islam and many have decided to make a change and turn back to Allah! For that, this is a fantastic opportunity for both of us to help each other short-term AND long-term!

Life is priceless. No amount of money can account for just one heartbeat. Without this one heartbeat, we lose all life, so how about the eyes we see through, the ears we hear with, the mouth we use to enjoy food, to communicate with and to build relationships; or even our limbs we use to travel and enjoy the world. Just think how incredible the Universe is, how perfect it is and how intricately designed it is to allow us to enjoy this gift of life.

We were once not in existence and now we have all of these things which were given to us for free. As Allah says: “It is He who brought you into being, He who blessed you with hearing, sight, and feelings/ intellect - what small thanks you give!” 67:23

It’s so easy to dwell on the negatives and forget just how blessed we really are simply by being alive. Reflecting on how much we actually have truly brings to life this verse in the Quran…
“If you try to count the blessings of Allah, you will not be able to” 14:34

It’s time to start showing true gratitude by submitting to the will of our Creator and not our desires.

When we journey through the Quran we find that out of the 6000+ verses, there are more than 1000 that speak about science.

When science is mentioned in the same sentence as religion, people instantly think these 2 topics conflict; but in Islam this is not the case. In the Quran, Allah points our attention to different aspects of creation within the Universe for us to reflect and ponder upon. In this particular case - how can all celestial bodies having their own orbit be known more than 1400 years ago?

The Universe is indeed a fascinating place. From the tiniest of particles to the largest of galaxies - all we find is consistency and harmony. The harmony in the Universe is mind boggling, and its precision and perfection of its laws always leaves us humbled without fail.

With that in mind, we really should start asking the questions that matter. How could this all come from none? Could this Universe really be here for no reason? Islam answers all important life questions and gives you the best reasons why you should be convinced. Learn more about Islam!

If everything created has a purpose, and the creator is the one that decides the purpose of their creation... how about us? Why do we think we can create our own purpose in life?

There are millions of answers to the purpose of life yet there are millions more still confused... is this really a surprise? The only way to know why we are truly here is to turn to our creator. It’s time to look for purpose in the right places.

Alhamdulilah, I have started a LaunchGood campaign for many reasons. As you know, high quality comes with high costs. One of the reasons for the funds is to be able to upgrade filming equipment and therefore build a studio. Currently, I film my videos on an iPhone 8 - so subhanAllah... an upgrade is needed!

My vision is that professional equipment would really compliment the level of editing that is done and will therefore, by the will of Allah, allow the videos to reach people for generations to come and not allow the quality of production to become "outdated" as such.

Any amount you donate means it will count as Sadaqah Jariyah for you for every person People of Islam's videos impact and for every second spent producing these videos insha'Allah. Alhamdulilah, People of Islam is growing rapidly, so any support from your part will prove fruitful in the long run by the permission of Allah.

May Allah honour you and bless you all, wassalamualaykum.

Help us reach thousands of people around the world with top quality, professional, Islamic content that is changing lives and bringing people back to Allah!

At some point in life, we all ask ourselves the big life questions. Why am I here? Where am I going? What is my purpose? There are countless answers that try to 'solve' life, but people are still so lost and confused. For such fundamental, basic questions, could it be that we are looking in the wrong places for answers?

Islam not only gives clear and concise answers, but it also claims to be the only valid reason for our existence. Allah asks us in the Quran: “Did you really think that We had created you without any purpose?” 23:115.

When we unwravel the meaning of life in Islam, we see that not only does it leave no questions unanswered, but the answers it gives are basic, intuitive and apply to humanity as a whole in the exact same way; male or female, rich or poor, white or black, able or disabled.

This video aims to shed light on what Islam has to say about the meaning of life.

Look at how fascinating just one human cell is. No matter what aspect of creation we look at; from atoms - molecules - DNA - cells - animals - nature - space - stars - galaxies, we see perfection upon perfection upon perfection.

How can we be so ignorant to turn away from the One who designed and provided all of this for us to live, experience and enjoy?

If someone gave you just 1 thousand pounds you would be so grateful to them - look at what we have been given!

Turn back to your creator, your true purpose lies in connecting with Him, not His creation.

14/11/2020

Using sound rational and logical arguments, we are able to show that Islam is the true purpose of our existence. This video is split into 5 sections that help direct and lead you to that conclusion.

The 5 sections are as follows; 1) God’s Existence, 2) God’s Oneness, 3) Revelation and why we need it, 4) the Afterlife and why we need it and 5) Showing that Prophet Muhammad was in fact a Prophet sent by God.

Despite everything mentioned in the video and the multitude of extra things that could have been said, the message of Islam is profound and simple; it is to direct all acts of worship to Allah and Allah alone.

Worship isn’t just to pray; obeying, loving, being dependent upon or relying can all become acts of worship (eg/ money, your desires, relationships, societal expectations, alcohol, etc.)

Islam is simply directing all these acts of worship to the Creator; relying only upon Him, being dependant only upon Him, loving and obeying Him and trusting everything is from Him - is this not true liberation?

If the arguments presented in this video make sense to you, I invite you into the fold of Islam!

The example of the Mosquito - PONDER THE QURAN #1
مثال البعوضة - تدبر القرآن الكريم، الحلقة الأولى
---------------
Ponder the Quran is a new series created with the intention of inspiring you to pick up a Quran and read it with reflection (tadabbur). Many of us read the Quran in a shallow sort of way; some in Arabic despite not understanding Arabic, and some with the translation, but without giving it much thought. How can we expect the miracle and truth of the Quran to become apparent to us without us searching for it? Pondering over the Quran unlocks a whole new dimension you never knew existed that proves to you 100% there could be no other author than Allah SWT. I hope I could show just how much we can extract from one verse in this episode!

Only in the last century or two have we uncovered so much about the mosquito. We all find them annoying, but because of the age of Science, they have proven to be incredibly impressive. Physicists constantly look to nature for inspiration on how to develop different technologies, and to this day, no human creation comes close to the precision and perfection of nature. How then in our limited intellects and abilities can we decide there is no Creator and no purpose for existing?

When this verse was revealed 1400 years ago, especially in Arabia, Science was non-existent. The majority of the Arabs were actually illiterate. If we really reflect on the wording of just this one verse, it really is an eye-opener!
---------------
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَسۡتَحۡـىٖۤ اَنۡ يَّضۡرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا ​بَعُوۡضَةً فَمَا فَوۡقَهَا ​ؕ فَاَمَّا ​الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا فَيَعۡلَمُوۡنَ اَنَّهُ الۡحَـقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ​ۚ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيۡنَ ڪَفَرُوۡا فَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَ مَاذَآ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِهٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ
“Indeed, Allah is not ashamed to present a mosquito as an example or anything that is above it....”
“as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord”.
“But as for those who disbelieve, they say, ‘What did Allah intend by this example?’ ” - Quran 2:26

As Muslims, we believe the Quran is the word of Allah (God). If you think about it, this is an incredibly huge claim to make; it means that the text must be 100% perfect and faultless in every possible way. No error, contradiction or discrepancy in the text can be present otherwise this would invalidate its divinity.

This video touches base on many of the ways we can show how the Quran excels and why we believe Islam to be the truth, as a result. Please note that this is only a 12 minute video... 1) there are countless more points that could have been mentioned, 2) hours and hours can be spoken about many of the individual points - for that reason, I have included all the references.

The message of Islam is simple; it is the realisation that there can only be one creator that is unlike any of his creation, and that we were created with a purpose. If this video has you interested in Islam... keep researching - if you genuinely believe the Quran is the word of Allah and cannot be the works of man... why not embrace Islam? There is no harm in trying it out! :)

Prophet Muhammad PBUH was clearly admired by his companions from the descriptions narrated. You can tell that they found it incredibly hard to describe his appearance and looks using words. For the Prophet Muhammad SAW to be likened to the Sun and Moon really puts into perspective how beautiful he looked. His outward and inward characteristics were perfected by Allah and everything about him affected the people he interacted with; so much so, that 1400 years later - millions and millions strive to be like him and love him more than they love themselves.

As the Prophet said, Muslims to come after him would give up all their wealth just for one glance at his face… study this man’s life and you may understand why...

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said the wisest people are those who frequently remember death and prepare for it. It is human nature to put aside thoughts about death - which has a direct effect on our productivity. We must remember that we will stand in front of Allah on the day of judgement and be asked about EVERYTHING - including our free time and skills he gave us.

Strive for excellence Muslims! Ihsan will not just secure your Akhira, but will give you an amazing life in the Dunya too. Will we take this powerful advice from Allah and apply it to our lives?

LAYLATUL QADR CHECKLIST!

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Search for Laylatul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan.”

Laylatul Qadr is by far the best night in the entire year - to help our search iA, I have prepared a checklist.

Aim to do these at least once every night until Eid to try and reap the rewards of such an incredible night!

Feel free to SCREENSHOT or SHARE to friends and family!

Welcome to episode 3 of the 'Wonders of the Quran' series! In this episode I try to summarise much of the Science found in the Quran into an enjoyable, digestible and informative video. As I mentioned in the beginning, there are more than 6000 signs (ayat) in the Quran, out of which more than 1000 speak about science. For that, it's safe to say there is a lot that I haven't included! Either way, I hope you learnt a few things and if you are a non-Muslim, I hope this has been an eye-opener.

It is important to note, that the Quran is not a book of science; it is a book of signs... As you may know, for every scientific point I have mentioned in this video, there are books and books on the matter and people study years and years and carry out much research regarding them! One of Allah's names is that he is the Subtle. If you really think about the subtlety of the signs mentioned, when and how they came about and their pin point accuracy, is this enough for you to believe?

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was undeniably the greatest man in history. What's more, is that not a single person's biography comes close to being as detailed as his. His biography is composed of authentic history; in other words, there is no doubt that he existed.

When we study his life, it puts everything into perspective. It humbles us and allows us to find ease in the worst of hardships. It allows our love for him to increase and our love for Islam to increase. His life is a miracle, SAW, and when we study how he lived, it allows us to strive to be the best version of ourselves in preparation for a day that we meet Allah.

I really hope you enjoyed the second episode of Wonders of the Quran. In this video, I aimed to tackle a more subtle miracle of the Quran, and that is to show it is like no other book based off its popularity and memorisation. There is no book memorised as much as the Quran and every single day, it is recited through various means hundreds of billions of times, if not more! The Quran is by far the most popular book of all time.

Besides that, there are so many millions of Muslims that have memorised the entire Quran letter for letter despite Arabic not being their language! Could you memorise a page of Japanese in a few minutes? That's how fast the Quran is memorised worldwide and is a miracle of the Quran. After all, it is the word of Allah!

The Quran speaks about the Last Day so much that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was frequently asked about it by his people. The Prophet was inspired with 'signs' to look out for to know that it is drawing near. A lot of the recorded signs made absolutely no sense to the people at the time. Only recently, we have to come to find that these signs turned out to be true.

Please note, I have cherry picked these predictions made by the Prophet since I believe we can all relate to these and find them shocking. There are many more modern predictions - in fact, there are even more undeniable historical predictions - but they wouldn't have fit well in this video. Perhaps for one in the future.

Sadly, much of the Ummah treats prayer as a chore and as a burden on their shoulders.

If this is the case brothers and sisters, this is a big indication that you don't understand prayer, why we do it and how it was legislated at the time of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
