Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah
We keep ignoring the signs that point to the Resurrection, even though they appear before our eyes every single day - until the day our eyes finally close… and we see it for real. This Makki Surah brings those visuals together with proofs that leave no room for excuses. Surah An-Naba forces you to confront the Great News that people argued about, dismissed, or treated lightly. It exposes the denial of the Mushrikeen, the stubbornness behind their questions, and the same patterns we fall into when we delay preparing for the Hereafter. In this tafseer, you’ll recognise the signs Allah placed...

One day you’ll wake up and realise the life you thought you still had… isn’t there anymore. Time didn’t slip past you. It carved you down, piece by piece, while you were busy chasing a world that never once promised to stay. That’s the reality the poet throws at you before you can look away. This episode exposes the Dunya for what it truly is: a beautiful veil over something that will never love you back. We chase it, trust it, build our hopes on it, yet the wise already divorced it long ago because they saw what was behind the curtain. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks the verses...

The journey to Badr didn’t begin with a battlefield. It began with small moments that tested the companions one by one. Some were told to return, others tried to stay hidden, and lessons were given on the road that shaped the mindset of the entire group. What seemed like a simple march became a series of decisions that revealed what each person carried in their heart. Meanwhile in Makkah, a sudden wave of news moved through the city and forced Quraysh to react. What they chose next set both sides on a path neither could step away from. Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how these moments...

Shaytan doesn’t come to people of knowledge and those working in Dawah with obvious traps. He targets students of knowledge, Islamic teachers and Qur’an reciters with things that look innocent at first, then slowly tear down years of effort and study. In this short reminder, Ustadh Muhammed Tim Humble explains how people of knowledge slip into the fitnah of women, blurred boundaries and “small” choices that quietly erode their honour. And once that honour is gone, the Dawah itself collapses. Why do these slips feel so easy? How does Shaytan turn something permissible into a doorway to...

Every day we recite “Guide us to the Straight Path,” yet many of us live uncomfortably close to the edge of it: halal and haram blurred, Islam pushed between work, study and the pressure to fit in. In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble speaks to that tension directly. He breaks down Surah al-Fatihah in a way many Muslims have never heard. You’ll learn how worship collapses without Allah’s help, how guidance comes in two layers, and why “You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help” sits at the centre of your entire life. Worship becomes more than movements. It touches...

Every Muslim tries to make sense of life’s mistakes, its setbacks, and the moments that test patience and character. The Prophet ﷺ didn’t leave us to figure these things out alone. His short, comprehensive words teach us how to walk through life with clarity, balance, and wisdom. In this fourth part of Jawami‘ al-Akhbar by Imam al-Sa‘di, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains ahadith that speak directly to your daily reality: reminders that shape the way you think, react, and grow as a believer. This episode explores: - How a believer learns from painful experiences instead of repeating...

The Dunya pushes you: “Earn more. Climb higher. Secure your future.” Your heart quietly asks: "But when will you seek knowledge? What about the Akhirah?" If you’ve ever watched your commitment to seeking knowledge fade while life pulls you in every direction… if you’ve ever stared at your week and wondered when your Iman slipped through the cracks… this poem was written for you. Welcome to our new series on the Ta’iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri - a poem so striking that scholars across generations instructed their students to memorise it. Not because it's beautiful poetry, but...

Most Muslims want a strong connection with the Qur’an, but life moves too fast. One week you’re consistent, the next week you’re barely holding on. You still read it, you still pray, but it often feels like you’re doing everything while feeling nothing. Salah gets done on time, but your mind arrives late. And somewhere inside, you realise there has to be more. That’s why this first episode of our Tafseer Juz Amma series starts with the surah you recite the most: Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes you through Surah Al-Fatihah using the clear and heart-centred commentary of Tafseer...

We live in a time where visibility feels like a requirement. We post every moment, turn every good deed into content, and treat being unseen like failure. But the Salaf lived the opposite. They hid their good deeds the way we hide our sins. They feared praise the way we fear embarrassment. They preferred the background while we desire the centre. "Inspired by the Salaf" is a call to step back from the noise. To pull hearts out of the culture of visibility, where every deed becomes content and every moment feels like it needs an audience. This series takes you into the mindset of people who...
info_outlineA caravan returning from Sham set the stage for the first major battle in Islam. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how a simple attempt to intercept Quraysh’s wealth became Yawm al-Furqan, the day Allah separated truth from falsehood.
He covers the precise date of Badr (Friday, 17 Ramadan, 2 AH), why the Prophet ﷺ left Madinah without calling for a full mobilisation, and how a small group of Sahabah was chosen for a test they never expected. You’ll also hear why the people of Badr were given a unique status, along with early incidents that showed Allah’s support for them.
This session establishes the cause and context of Badr before the military details continue in the next episode.
