Almighty Allah said: “Say (O Muhammad): “if you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic monotheism, follow the Quran and Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Aal Imran 03:31].
We all know that we should be reciting the Quran as much as possible. We know that it contains guidance for us to come closer to Allah and instructions through which we live our lives. And this is the main purpose of the Quran.
Born and raised in the West, I never realised the beauty of nature surrounding me. I was always too busy with the fast-paced world called life.

There is a fair amount of negativity towards the word ‘salaf,’ and anyone who uses the term. Some are afraid of it. Others think it is something evil, others think it refers to a deviant sect! Allow me to clarify.
