Harmonia Alcorani
A new group I found that is headed by one of my favorite Islamic scholars, Timothy Winter. Enjoy!

Why are We Ashamed to Mention the Ahlul Bayt?
- People are afraid of mentioning Ahlul Bayt (People of the House-referring to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) family) because they fear they will be labeled-- they want to stay clean, so to speak.
- But cleanliness, in reality, comes from closeness to Ahlul Bayt
- Many people claim that right now is not the right time to talk about the about Ahlul Bayt, but why not?
- Why do we continue to censor the Prophet, peace be upon him? This should not be at our discretion.
- We need Ahlul Bayt in our lives!

There is a Candle in Your Heart...
There is a candle in your heart,
Ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul,
Ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?
You feel the separation
From the Beloved.
Invite Him to fill you up,
Embrace the fire.
Remind those who tell you otherwise that
Love comes to you of its own accord,
And the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school.

-Mevlana Rumi
Whoever recites Qur’an, his value is amplified. Whoever records hadith, his proof is strengthened. Whoever learns jurisprudence, his status is ennobled. Whoever learns Arabic, his disposition becomes gentle. Whoever learns mathematics, his opinion will be copious. And whoever fails to defend his honor will not benefit from his knowledge.
-Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee
