We are Khalifah
The best example
Jumuah Mubarak to our dear brothers and sisters.
We are Khalifah.
Reflect on the moment when our Lord declared to the Angels,
"I am going to place a successive human authority on earth."
Qur'an 2:30
Often translated as "viceregent," Khalifah, in essence, meansa representative.
How do we fulfill this purpose that Allah has set for us? How do we lead lives of profound meaning and purpose in obedience to His commands?
The answer lies in emulating the best among usthe Beloved Prophet , the Slave of Allah. He personified true servitude, a beacon of mercy to humanity, and aliving Qur'an.
If you sincerely love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Qur'an 3:31
Immersing ourselves in the Prophet's lifethrough the Seerah and adhering to his traditions in the Sunnah is not merely recommendedit's indispensable.
We think it's optional to know. But, if we seek to chase what is with God, then it is not a choice.
"What is with Allah is far better than amusement andmerchandise. And Allah is the Best Provider."
Qur'an 62:11
The knowledge gained from following the Prophet is a most profound provision from Hima guidance and mercy intricately woven together.
"Indeed, in theMessenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often."
Qur'an 33:21
May we increase in knowledge of the Prophet to deepen our love and to embody his practices within our daily life. May it be the means to become more sincereservants of Allah. Ameen.

Did you know in 2023we provided 81 classes for free?
That's a value of over $4,000 to students who wished to pursue knowledge without any financial hardship.
Please consider donating to M.E.C.C.A. so that we may continue to provide authentic knowledgeof Islam to all who humbly and sincerely seek it, to those who are isolated and have to hide their new faith from others, and to those who don't have the right support and resources to turn to.
No amount is ever too little as the Prophet, peace andblessings be upon him, urges us to give to prevent calamity even if it washalf a date.
Let your gift of charity bless you with the best in this life and the next. Ameen.
