Plain, careful guides, for the questions that bring you here.
Genuinely useful explainers on inheritance, zakat, the first days of a new Muslim, and the practice of prayer. Each is reviewed against the work of qualified scholars; where the schools differ, we say so.
How Islamic inheritance works
Fixed shares, residuary heirs, ʿawl and radd, and why the rules are more precise than most people expect.
Zakat explained: who pays, how much, on what
The 2.5% rate, the nisab threshold, the gold and silver standards, and the lunar-year holding rule.
New to Islam: your first forty days
You don't have to learn it all at once. A gentle sequence, purification and prayer first, then building from there.
Which prayer time method should you use?
Why apps show different times, what the main methods are, and how to choose the one your community prays by.
What is the Qibla, and how is it calculated?
The direction Muslims face in prayer, how the great-circle path works, and why it can surprise you on a flat map.
Zakat on gold jewellery: why scholars differ
The Hanafi position, the view of the other schools, and how to decide what to count as your own.
What are Awl and Radd?
The two adjustments that handle the arithmetic when the fixed shares don't add up to exactly one whole.
What happens at an Islamic funeral (Janazah)?
Ghusl, kafan, salat al-janazah and burial, the steps the community carries out with dignity and without delay.
How to make up missed prayers
The qada principle, the practical approach, and what to do when many prayers have been missed over time.
