Back-to-Basics: Legislated Worship

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2024/05/22

The forms of worship in which people engage in their journey to Allaah are of two kinds: one form is approved by Allaah and His Messenger and the other form is not. Those that Allaah and His Messenger approve of are things such as salah, fasting, reading the Qur'an, praying in the night, giving charity, etc. Let's return to our spiritual practices and leave off what is not from the deen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/willena-brooks/support

Reflecting on the Battle of ‘Uhud

2023/06/23

Recently, while reading and reflecting over Surah Al-'Imran, Allaah allowed me to connect with those ayat detailing the Battle of ‘Uhud and the actions of the Muslims. While our battles may look differently than theirs, we should be able to see the similarities and learn the lessons.Update 06/24/2023: Subhan Allaah! I realized that I mislabeled this episode originally. It was labeled referencing The Battle of Badr instead of The Battle of Uhud! My apologies! I have made the change in the

2023/02/20

Mindsets play a huge part in our lives and our well-being! As Muslims, our faith and religion shapes and molds our thoughts, opinions, and views - creating what could be referred to as the Muslim Mindset. How does it compare to some of the more popular mindsets of today? Let's discuss! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/willena-brooks/support

All intoxicants have been made impermissible for the Muslim. While there may be some "benefit" to consuming wine, its harm outweighs any benefit.

The Correct Way to Heal

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/11/28

"Healing" in some form or another is very much a part of our lives. All praise is due to Allaah who has not left us to ourselves in any aspect of our lives! Allaah says in the Qur'an (what means): "O humanity! Indeed, there has come to you a warning from your Lord, a cure for what is in the hearts, a guide, and a mercy for the believers." (Surah Yunus, ayah 57) As Muslims, we must never forget that the cure is with Allaah. If true healing is what we seek, then our approach must be in alignment with

Simple Living or Zuhd

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/10/03

"Simple living," "Slow Living," and "Soft Living" are new and trendy names for a lifestyle that our Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged us to live over 1400 years ago. In order to achieve this type of lifestyle in today's society, it will require a sincere intention and deliberate action. Abu Hurairah reported: Messenger of Allaah said, “Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for this will keep you from belittling Allaah’s Favour to you.”

Silence is Necessary

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/08/21

In today's time, it can often feel and sound as if everyone is speaking at the exact same time. With so many people vying for our attention at one time, even in the arena of seeking Islamic knowledge, it's very easy to feel overwhelmed; and, have our needs, goals, and dreams overshadowed. We have to learn how to take a moment for ourselves and silence the noise. Ikrima reported Ibn ‘Abbas as saying, “Talk to the people once every Friday, but if you object, then twice, and if you want more, then

Travel: An Opportunity to Remember Allaah

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/08/03

Travel definitely has a place in Islaam. The reward for travel, as with all things in Islaam, will be based on the intention or goal of the traveler. While there are definitely acts of worship that may involve travel, we shouldn't miss out on opportunities to benefit spiritually from those trips or vacations that aren't directly related to our religion or worship of Allaah. Here are a few ways that we can get closer to Allaah while distancing ourselves from work, home, or school! --- Support this

Should Muslims perform yoga?

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/07/13

Yoga is an ancient practice that involves physical poses, concentration, and deep breathing. It can be traced back to northern India over 5,000 years ago. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to yoke,” or “to unite”. The practice aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness. As Muslims, our goal is never "union" but rather the worship of Allaah. And, Allaah has directed us to acts of worship that He

Wellness In Islam with Dr. Brooks ·

2022/06/27

Wellness, self-care, and self-development experts all stress the importance of routines. Routines help us increase our productivity - whether that be worldly or religious/spiritual. As Muslims, we have so many opportunities - already laid out before us - to create routines that with Allaah's help, will set us up for an increase in righteous deeds and obedience to Allaah. By creating routines around acts of worship that we're already doing every day, every week, or monthly, we can find a way to
