Promised Paradise, but still doing the dishes?

We make chore charts, offer rewards, and repeat ourselves more times than we can count, all hoping our children will one day help at home on their own.

Yet the Prophet ﷺ, already promised Jannah, spent his time at home serving his family and helping with nearly ALL of its work. Why?

In this episode of Prophetic Parenting: Raising Hearts that Love Muhammad ﷺ, Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith asks children ages 8-10 what makes them love him ﷺ so much. One answer shows what happens when a child’s reason for serving is rooted in the Prophet's example ﷺ.

DESCRIPTION:
Does your child act one way at home, but become a completely different person around their friends? As parents, we want our children to make good choices even when we aren’t there to guide them, but peer pressure and the desire to fit in can quickly challenge the values we’ve worked so hard to instill.

Join Dr. Bano Murtuja as she explores what the Seerah teaches us about building lasting character, navigating friendships and peer influence, and raising children who remain grounded in Prophetic values, even when no one is watching.

📚 Our pick begins with something most of us were never taught: some of the gifts Allah gave His Messenger ﷺ reach you simply because you belong to his Ummah.

Scholars have a name for this field: khasa'is, the qualities, honors, and blessings unique to the Prophet ﷺ, along with those given to his followers. Scholars have studied it for centuries and called it a key to drawing nearer to him.

Today, many Muslims have never heard of it.

Al-Khasa'is al-Muhammadiyya - brings that tradition back within reach, in English. It shows you what made him ﷺ unlike anyone before or after, and what his many names and titles reveal about who he is.

It also shows what it means to be counted among his Ummah. You'll come away with more than new facts. You'll feel a deeper love for him, a stronger sense of belonging to him, and a quiet awe at the honor Allah gave him.

The book was made by translators, editors, and designers on four continents, and it was crafted to be kept and passed down. Read a few pages after Isha, then close the cover and send salawat on the one you just came to know a little better ﷺ.

📌 You can order your copy through the link in our bio in two editions: hardcover with a dust jacket or soft leather, plus bundles that pair it with companion books. If you've been waiting for the right book to take you through this challenge, this is it.

May Allah increase us in love for His Beloved ﷺ and make us worthy of his Ummah.

P.S. Tell us where you are in the challenge, and send this to someone who’s reading with you.

Ever noticed how hard it is not to smile when someone smiles at you?

Smiling is contagious 🙂

One smile can make someone feel less nervous, more comfortable, or simply a little happier than they were.

And one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ once said that he never saw the Prophet ﷺ except that he smiled at him.

In this episode of Prophetic Parenting: Raising Hearts that Love Muhammad ﷺ, Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith sits with children ages 8-10 and explores another beautiful quality of the Prophet ﷺ: his smile.

Sometimes the hardest test isn’t what happened to you, it's what it makes you question afterward.

Why did Allah allow this? Why did I try to do everything right, only for things to fall apart? Why did I make dua for one thing and live through something completely different?

There are moments in life that can shake the way we understand Allah, ourselves, and everything we thought we knew about faith.

And sometimes, the question we’re left with is simply: Why?

In this conversation, Shaykh Hasib Noor (Hasib Noor) speaks to what happens when the pain we experience begins to test our faith and how we make sense of the things we never thought we’d have to endure.

DESCRIPTION:
What if someone said, centuries ago, that certain events would happen in the future... and then you watched those predictions unfold exactly as described?

Join Dr. Nasser Karimian as he explores a remarkable collection of these prophecies. What do they reveal about the truth of the Final Prophet ﷺ? He'll also address some of the most common objections raised by critics regarding these prophecies.

October is National Book Month 📚

is a month-long celebration of books, authors, and the joy of reading. It asks us to pick up a book, learn something new, and integrate the importance of reading into our everyday lives.

As Muslims, dedicating time to reading carries a beautiful significance, because the first word revealed to our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was 'Iqra: read.

So this month, we have a challenge for you: Read a little Seerah every day.

Try to dedicate a time to sit with yourself or your family and read about the Prophet ﷺ.

Who's joining? Comment below and share your favorite book! And don't forget to follow along to keep up with our favorite reads for this month.
