Faith-centred, methodological and reflective pauses with Surat al-Ahqaf: the divine source of the Qur'an, the creation of the universe in truth, the truthfulness of prophethood, tawhid, steadfastness and honouring parents, Allah's ways with nations that deny, the faith of the jinn, and patience as the provision of those who call to Allah.
The second Mizan article applies the series' method to the claim that the city's early name Iliya proves the sanctity of al-Aqsa to be a later invention, separating the history of names from the evidence for the mosque's virtue.
The first Mizan article explains how the hadith critics examined both the chain and the text of a report, and turns their method into practical questions for weighing contemporary doubts about the Sunnah and Islamic history.
A methodological guide to hadith documentation that treats takhrij as the applied fruit of the hadith sciences, setting rules for gathering routes, citing original versus intermediary sources, ordering references, and using digital encyclopedias critically.
A Friday sermon tracing the Qur'anic law that no nation was destroyed without warning and respite, warning against heedlessness and gradual entrapment, and calling listeners to treat a recent earthquake as a warning that demands repentance.

A two-part Friday sermon for the start of Muharram that presents the year's seasons of worship as Allah's mercy to a short-lived Ummah, explains the virtue of fasting Muharram and Ashura, and draws from Moses' crossing of the sea lessons of tawhid, trust in Allah, and prompt repentance.
A creedal and da'wah study of suicide built around the hadith of al-Tufayl ibn 'Amr al-Dawsi, setting out its prohibition, the Ahl al-Sunnah position that it does not take a Muslim out of the faith, and the prophetic way of treating its roots through patience and faith.
