    The Number One Dua | Sh. Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah)

    One of the most powerful yet underrated Dua we’ve ever received.

    And that is…

    "Guide us to the straight path." - Surah Al-Fatiha

    In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) breaks down the essence of this verse. 

    It’s not just a Dua, but a call to Hidayah.

    Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) also focuses on the two dimensions of Hidayah - seeing the clear path and accepting the truth. 

    Consider these dimensions as gateways to Allah (swt)…
     
     Because once we’re through…

    We can find, see, and feel Allah everywhere, in our minds, homes, and even in the darkest places of our hearts.

    The Final Abode: How Much You Care About It | Sh. Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah)

    Every decision that you make in your life, every action that you take...depends on how much you care about your Akhirah. 

    It shows whether or not you've been thinking about the 'Dar-ul-akhirah' - the final abode.

    A believer's choices come out of their love for the Creator, the yearning to be near Him in the Jannah, and the fear of being placed in Jahanum.

    Look…

    The actions you’re taking are leading you somewhere, right? 

    So, if you’re not finding a desire in your heart to be close to Allah, feel his presence, and ultimately connect with Him…

    …then where are your actions leading you? Why is it terrifying? What can we do about it?

    Shaytan’s Dua that Got Answered Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)

    If you want to know how to approach your Duas with an open heart and full faith, then listen to this podcast by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)…


    …as he talks about the mental hurdles we face in making Duas.


    Sometimes, we hesitate, not fully believing our prayer can be answered. But remember, even Shaytan made Du’a, and Allah answered it. When we reflect on this, we realize that Allah’s doors of mercy and acceptance are always open for anyone who calls upon Him.


    Shaytan, despite being misguided, possesses knowledge and has used it throughout history, as we see in the Battle of Badr. Here, he attempted to mislead the disbelievers against the Muslims but quickly fled when he saw the angels descending. Understanding Shaytan’s actions reminds us to never doubt the strength of Allah’s protection over the believers.


    Remember, no matter how much he’s cornered you, when you call upon Allah, know that your voice is heard. 


    Never let doubt creep into your heart, thinking you’re somehow overlooked by Allah. He is the Most Merciful, and He promises to respond to His servants.

    A United Ummah is Stronger than Any Army or Nation in the World Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)

    It’s crucial more than ever to be united as a nation, as an Ummah of the Prophet (SAW). 

     

    In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares a personal story about how reading science fiction helped him shape his views on anti-racism and unity. 

     

    Through this analogy, he emphasized how, as humans, we should come together against a common threat, regardless of race, color, or background. 

     

    Just like how the world united against the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and how, for the first time in recent history, humanity was on the same page for a common cause. 

     

    This unprecedented unity echoes the teachings of the Quran and the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who urged us to stand together as one Ummah and beyond that, to unite for justice, even with non-Muslims.

     

    Look, unity is not just a virtue, but a necessity for Muslims. Allah (SWT), especially in these dark times. Allah commands us to hold firmly to His rope and not to be divided. 

     

    As an Ummah, our strength lies in our togetherness, whether in times of ease or hardship. Now more than ever, we must rise above differences and stand united for the sake of Allah, supporting one another in faith and action.

     

    May Allah keep us united today, tomorrow, and all times to come. Ameen.

    Raising Huffadh in a World of Distractions Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)

    In this talk, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares personal insights and practical advice on how to raise Huffadh — children who memorize the entire Quran. 


    As a young boy sent to an Islamic boarding school to memorize the Quran, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) was one of the few who became a Huffadh in his early childhood.


    His personal story highlights the deep, lifelong attachment that comes from spending intimate hours with the Quran. 


    He emphasizes the importance of raising the standard within our communities, moving beyond the basic goal of reading or memorizing short portions of the Quran, to encouraging children to memorize significant portions, if not the entire Quran.


    Shaykh (rA) also focused on the crucial role of parents in their children's Quranic education, discussing how the love and discipline instilled at a young age form a foundation that lasts a lifetime. 


    And also warns of the dangers of settling for low community standards and encourages parents to aim higher, preparing their children not just for worldly success, but for the ultimate success in the Hereafter. 


    The significance of parents' influence, the importance of family stability, and how prioritizing Quranic memorization can lead to both intellectual and spiritual excellence.


    In a time where attention spans are shrinking and Islamic knowledge is often reduced to tweets and quick videos, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) reminds us of the value of immersive, focused learning.
     

    The practical tips and motivation discussed in this podcast are for all parents who aspire to raise children deeply connected to the Quran and equipped for both this world and the next.
