Christian Man Found Islam in Prison | Muslim Convert Stories

 

Maliki Clique, also known as Ali Abdul Raheem, is an American Muslim content creator who shares his personal journey to Islam. Born into a devout Christian family, he was an active churchgoer during his early years. However, at the age of 14, he encountered contradictions in the Bible that his religious instructors couldn't satisfactorily address, leading him to distance himself from Christianity.

During his teenage years, like many American youths, he indulged in various experiences, some of which led to drug addiction. Seeking discipline and a sense of purpose, he enlisted in the military. After several years of service, he left the military feeling directionless. In a moment of impulsivity, and despite not being in financial need, he committed a robbery, which resulted in his incarceration.

While in prison, he encountered Muslim inmates who introduced him to Islam. Through their guidance and his own exploration, he found the answers and spiritual fulfillment he had been seeking, leading to his conversion to Islam.

The Quiet Heroine: The Story of Moses’s Sister in the Quran and Hadith

 

When we think of Prophet Musa (Moses, peace be upon him), we often recall the miraculous parting of the sea, his confrontation with Pharaoh, and the Ten Commandments. Yet, within his powerful story lies the quiet courage of a lesser-known figure — his sister — whose bravery and wisdom played a critical role in shaping his destiny.

The Quranic Narrative
Moses’s sister is not named in the Quran, but her role is pivotal in Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28). When the Pharaoh issued a decree to kill all newborn Israelite boys, the mother of Musa, inspired by divine revelation, placed her baby in a basket and cast him into the river to save his life:

“We inspired the mother of Musa, saying: 'Suckle him, but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear or grieve. We will return him to you and make him one of the messengers.'”
(Surah Al-Qasas 28:7)

To ensure the child’s safety, Moses’s sister was tasked with following the basket:

“And she said to his sister, 'Follow him.' So she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.”
(Surah Al-Qasas 28:11)

Eventually, Pharaoh’s wife finds the baby and desires to adopt him. But he refuses to nurse from any of the wet nurses brought to him. That’s when Moses’s sister intervenes:

“So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know the promise of Allah is true...”
(Surah Al-Qasas 28:13)

In a stroke of divine wisdom and human bravery, Moses’s sister suggests a nurse — their mother — without revealing her identity. Through her, Allah fulfills His promise: Moses is returned to his family under the protection of Pharaoh’s own household.

Insights from the Hadith and Islamic Tradition
While Hadith literature does not provide extensive detail about Moses’s sister, classical Islamic exegesis (Tafsir) elaborates on her character. Scholars like Ibn Kathir identify her as Miriam (not to be confused with Maryam the mother of Isa/Jesus). Her courage, discretion, and faith are emphasized as examples of quiet but effective resistance under tyranny.

Her approach to the palace, pretending to be a helpful outsider while concealing her relation to the baby, reflects intelligence and composure. She remains nameless in the Quran, a literary technique that focuses attention on her actions rather than her identity, highlighting that heroism often comes in uncelebrated forms.

Her Legacy: Lessons in Faith and Bravery

Moses’s sister exemplifies several virtues that are relevant today:

Bravery in adversity: As a young girl, she navigated a dangerous situation with maturity and tact.

Strategic thinking: She devised a plan to reunite her brother with their mother without arousing suspicion.

Trust in divine wisdom: Her family trusted Allah's guidance even in the darkest of times.

In a story filled with prophets, miracles, and pharaohs, it's easy to overlook the seemingly small roles. Yet, it is often through these quiet acts of faith and bravery — like those of Moses's sister — that great outcomes unfold.

Though the Quran gives us only glimpses of Moses’s sister, her presence is a testament to the power of trust, intelligence, and quiet courage. Her story invites reflection on the unsung heroes in our own lives and communities — those who act with integrity behind the scenes and leave a profound impact on history.

Very calming recitation of Surah AL KAHF (the Cave)

 

You Will NEVER SEE Salah Ad-Din the SAME after this

 

Saladin. The man—not quite a myth, and far more than just a legend. Books, lectures, documentaries—you name it—have all tried to capture the essence of this towering figure. For over 800 years, from Ibn Shaddad to William of Tyre, from Dante to Voltaire, the spotlight has followed this man—for one overwhelming reason: The liberation of Jerusalem.

But if I’m being honest… I think Muslims focus too much on Saladin conquering Jerusalem.

And I want to explain why—and how—we've been missing the bigger picture. And we’ll end with answering one powerful question: Was Saladin great because he liberated Jerusalem—or was he able to liberate Jerusalem because he was great? By the end of this video, you’ll know the answer…

The Sanctity of Human Life in Islam

 

In a world often torn by violence, conflict, and dehumanization, it's crucial to revisit foundational moral principles that transcend time and place. One such principle is the sanctity of human life, and in Islam, this sanctity is held in the highest regard.

A Sacred Trust from God
Islam teaches that human life is a divine gift—a sacred trust from God (Allah). Every human being, regardless of race, religion, or status, is born with dignity and value.

The Qur’an declares:

“Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land—it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one—it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”
(Qur’an 5:32)

This powerful verse underscores that taking an innocent life is a crime against all humanity, and saving a life is a service to all humankind.

Human Life Is Sacred—Not Just Muslim Life
The Qur'anic message is universal. It doesn’t say “a Muslim soul” or “a believer's soul”—it says “a soul.” Islamic ethics emphasize the inherent worth of every human, whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist, or otherwise.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was once reported to have stood in respect when a Jewish funeral procession passed by. When asked why, he responded:

“Was he not a human soul?”
(Sahih Bukhari)

This reflects the deep spiritual recognition of life’s value, regardless of religion or identity.

Justice, Not Vengeance
Islam permits self-defense and the pursuit of justice, but strictly forbids aggression and the taking of innocent life. The Prophet Muhammad said:

“A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand others are safe.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i)

Acts of terrorism, suicide bombings, or attacks on civilians are not only morally reprehensible—they are in direct violation of Islamic teachings.

Protecting the Most Vulnerable
Islam commands the protection of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm—especially during times of conflict. The Prophet Muhammad laid down rules for warfare that forbade harm to non-combatants, destruction of homes, or poisoning of wells—centuries before modern laws of war were codified.

In his final sermon, the Prophet said:

“O people, your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred to one another as the sacredness of this day...”

This final address captured the heart of Islamic ethics: life is sacred, and mutual respect is obligatory.

 A Universal Message
The Islamic principle of life’s sanctity is not just a theological idea—it’s a call to compassion, restraint, and justice. It demands that Muslims stand against injustice, whether committed by individuals, states, or even fellow Muslims.

In an age where human lives are too often reduced to numbers, may we remember that in Islam, every life is a universe.

Islam’s message is clear and uncompromising: human life is sacred. That sanctity applies to all people, at all times, in all places. It’s a value not only to be preached—but practiced.

You Can't Always Guide Your Loved Ones - Nouman Ali Khan

 

During this halaqah held at the Xhamia e 4Llullave (Hasan Beg) in Pristina, Kosovo, earlier this year, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives us a heartbreaking, yet much needed reminder that sometimes our own family members will be the ones that hurt us the most.

Focusing on the story of the two sons of Adam (AS), Ustadh highlights the ayat from Surah Al-Ma'idah (27-30) in which one of the two sons' sacrifice was not accepted by Allah, resulting in him threatening to kill his brother. The brother's response is where the key lesson lies; he was not passive by simply accepting of his murder, he did in fact attempt to defend himself. However, he made it clear that his intention was not to retaliate and kill, due to his taqwa - i.e. his fear of Allah. He also prayed that his murderous brother would bear his sins, along with his own, for this grievous sin.

Using this example, Ustadh Nouman emphasizes that we do have rights, even against our own family members, and it's not incumbent upon ourselves to humiliate or sacrifice ourselves from them, especially if they refuse to listen or, in extreme cases, aim to cause harm.

Are Hardships My Fault, or a Test from Allah?

 

In this Khutbah highlight, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains that the Quran teaches us that every hardship or difficulty that befalls you is uniquely yours, designed specifically for you at that moment. It's a personal test from Allah. Ustadh explains that the Quran distinguishes between two types of challenges: those beyond our control and those that are a direct consequence of our own actions. But how do we differentiate between what is ordained by Allah and what is a result of our choices?

The Quran answers this through a simple yet powerful principle: Allah is as you perceive Him to be. If you truly believe that He is the Most Merciful, then during times of difficulty, your faith must remain firm that whatever Allah has decreed, even if it brings pain, is done out of His love and wisdom. When you place your complete trust and reliance in Him, Allah guides your heart to the right path and grant you peace of mind amidst the trials.

He serves as executive producer for the new documentary The Encampments, which follows last year's student occupations of college campuses to protest U.S. backing of Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza.

Tribute to Uncle Khaled (ra) | The Other Side

 

When all else fades, only hope in Allah remains.
At the moment of death, no deed will matter more than trusting in His mercy. Even the most righteous entered the Barzakh with sins—yet it was their good opinion of Allah that erased them. In that unseen world, His mercy conceals shortcomings, and His forgiveness grants peace.

The gates of redemption never close to those who sincerely seek Him. So as you journey through this life, carry this truth with you: hope in Allah is not just a feeling—it is the greatest act of worship.

Every day is a chance to grow. Keep seeking knowledge.

While we grapple with their losses, and pray for their parents, Allah comforts us with the knowledge that they are nurtured, embraced, and waiting in a realm where injustice cannot reach them. Their names may fade from the headlines, but they will never fade from the mercy of the Most Merciful.

The Islamic Importance of Spiritual Detox During Ramadan

 

Ramadan is not just a month of fasting from food and drink; it is also a time for spiritual purification and renewal. This holy month offers Muslims an opportunity to detoxify their souls, cleanse their hearts, and strengthen their connection with Allah. Just as the body benefits from detoxification, the soul requires a spiritual cleanse to rid itself of negativity, distractions, and sins.

Purification of the Heart and Soul

Ramadan serves as a reset button for the believer, offering a chance to purify one’s heart from ill intentions, grudges, and worldly distractions. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of spiritual cleansing, stating, “There is a piece of flesh in the body; if it becomes good (reformed), the whole body becomes good, but if it gets spoiled, the whole body gets spoiled, and that is the heart.” (Bukhari, Muslim). Fasting, prayer, and increased remembrance of Allah help soften the heart and remove spiritual impurities.

Disconnecting from Worldly Distractions

In today's digital age, distractions are at an all-time high. Social media, entertainment, and excessive engagements in worldly matters can cloud the soul and weaken one's connection with Allah. Ramadan offers a golden opportunity to step away from these distractions, focus on Quranic reflection, and engage in acts of worship that elevate the soul. The Prophet (PBUH) encouraged Muslims to minimize idle talk and distractions, saying, “Whoever does not give up false speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink.” (Bukhari). This highlights the necessity of not just fasting physically but also spiritually detoxing from harmful behaviors and influences.

Seeking Forgiveness and Repentance

Ramadan is known as the month of mercy and forgiveness. It is a time to seek Allah’s forgiveness and engage in sincere repentance. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Bukhari, Muslim). This spiritual cleanse allows believers to start anew with a purified soul and a renewed sense of devotion to Allah. Engaging in nightly prayers (Taraweeh), making abundant du’a (supplication), and asking for forgiveness can help remove the burden of past sins and cleanse the soul.

Strengthening Ties with the Quran

One of the greatest aspects of a spiritual detox during Ramadan is reconnecting with the Quran. Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed, making it the perfect time for Muslims to increase their recitation, understanding, and implementation of its teachings. The Quran serves as a guide to purify the soul and lead a righteous life. Allah says, “Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.” (Quran 17:9).

Enhancing Gratitude and Self-Discipline

Fasting instills gratitude, humility, and self-control. By refraining from food, drink, and other desires, Muslims develop a heightened sense of gratitude for Allah’s blessings and become more aware of the struggles of those less fortunate. This practice fosters a sense of compassion, generosity, and humility—key elements of a spiritually detoxed heart.

Ramadan is more than a time for abstaining from food and drink—it is a sacred opportunity for self-reflection, purification, and growth. By engaging in a spiritual detox, Muslims can cleanse their hearts, seek Allah’s forgiveness, detach from worldly distractions, and strengthen their relationship with the Quran. This month serves as a powerful reminder that true success and peace come from a purified soul devoted to the worship of Allah. As we strive for a deeper spiritual connection, may Allah accept our fasting, prayers, and efforts in drawing closer to Him. Ameen.
