On February 28, skywatchers around the world will witness a rare and beautiful celestial event — a visible “planet parade,” where multiple planets appear aligned across the night sky. Though they are not perfectly in one straight line, from Earth they seem arranged in a graceful procession, each moving along its ordained path.

For Muslims, moments like this are more than astronomy — they are āyāt (signs).

Allah says in the Qur'an:

“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, are signs for those of understanding.”
(Surah Aal-Imran 3:190)

And He reminds us:

“It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. Each floats in an orbit.”
(Surah Ya-Sin 36:40)

This celestial procession is not random. It reflects precision, order, and divine decree. Planets move in silent harmony — without collision, without chaos — exactly as ordained. What appears to us as a rare alignment is part of a perfectly maintained cosmic system.

While some planets will shine clearly to the naked eye, others may require binoculars or a small telescope. Yet whether seen easily or with effort, each one is a reminder of the vastness of Allah’s creation.

Events like this humble us. Above our busy schedules and daily noise, entire worlds drift in obedience to their Creator. The sky becomes a quiet sermon — calling us to reflect, to pause, and to remember.

The Prophet ﷺ would look at the sky and reflect deeply. We too can step outside, lift our gaze, and reconnect with something far greater than ourselves.

Sometimes the universe puts on a show — and for the believer, it becomes an act of contemplation (tafakkur).

Avoid these mistakes during the holy month of RAMADAN

RAMADAN

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn

Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.

Deeply saddened by the passing of M***i Haji Umer Idris — a respected scholar and guide whose knowledge and service to the Ummah touched many hearts.

May Allah forgive him, have mercy upon him, and grant him the highest ranks in Jannatul Firdaus.

May his grave be a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and may Allah grant patience and comfort to his family and students. 🤲🏽

اللهم اغفر له وارحمه، واجعل قبره روضةً من رياض الجنة

Allāhumma ighfir lahu wa arḥamhu, wa aj‘al qabrahu rawḍatan min riyāḍ al-jannah.

Islam, as defined by the Prophet Muhammad, (Peace Be Upon Him) is the declaration of faith in one God, Allah, and His messenger, Muhammad (the Shahada), combined with the practice of the Five Pillars of Islam: establishing prayer, paying Zakat, fasting during Ramadan, and performing the pilgrimage to the Kaaba (Hajj) if physically and financially able.

The definition provided by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Sahih Muslim includes:

1. Shahada (Declaration of Faith): To testify that "there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah".

2. Salat (Prayer): To establish the prescribed ritual prayers.

3. Zakat (Charity): To give to the poor and needy from one's wealth.

4. Sawm (Fasting): To observe the fast during the month of Ramadan.

5. Hajj (Pilgrimage): To perform pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca, if one has the physical and financial means to do so.

This prophetic definition outlines the core beliefs and the essential actions that constitute the life of a Muslim in the religion of Islam.
