Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah

What if the thing you are most proud of ends up costing you the most? The poet's voice turns personal here. Almost uncomfortably so. A name is called, not shouted, but called with expectation. As if the listener should already know better. As if the invitation had been made before, and quietly ignored. In Episode 4 of the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble opens verses that challenge how we think about fortune and intelligence. Not in abstract terms, but in how we choose what deserves our time, our effort, and our attention. A stark comparison sits beneath the words. A life measured in decades, set against a standing that stretches beyond imagination. Suddenly, the question isn't what you've gained, but whether you've used your mind well enough to recognise what truly benefits you. There's a tension running through this lesson. Between time and value. Between effort and return. Between drifting through the Dunya and responding to a call that asks more of you than comfort ever will. You'll find yourself rethinking words you use lightly. Fortune. Gain. Success. Even intelligence. Are they really what you thought, or have they been shaped by a much shorter horizon? Take a moment before pressing play.

The Salaf were placed at the forefront of this Ummah - not only in time, but in depth of understanding, precision of speech, and clarity of method. Their knowledge was not scattered, their words were not excessive, and their approach to the religion was guarded from speculation and unnecessary complexity. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble begins explaining the book Faḍl ʿIlm as-Salaf ʿalā ʿIlm al-Khalaf by Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbal, laying the groundwork for why the Salaf were recognised as more knowledgeable than those who came after them - and by what measures that superiority is understood. This explanation introduces the central themes of the book: the Salaf's distance from Kalām, their comprehensive yet restrained speech, their exacting relationship with the Arabic language, and the standards by which sound knowledge was historically weighed. If you want to understand the foundations of why the Salaf were treated as the benchmark in matters of understanding - this is the book for you.

Ever felt your Duas hit the heart on some days and feel flat on others? Many times it comes down to the Names you use when you call upon Allah. This episode digs into how those Names actually work, and why understanding them can change the way Allah's mercy, help, and protection reach you. In this episode of Allah's Names and Attributes, you'll discover the Names that describe who Allah has always been, the Names tied to His actions, the Names that free Him from every flaw, and the Names that carry multiple meanings at once. Suddenly, "al-Hayy", "ar-Rahman", and "as-Samad" become openings to knowing Allah, not just familiar words we repeat. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble also clears up the confusion around "Ihsaa" - what it truly means to "know" Allah's Names in a way that strengthens your worship and transforms your Duas. And he points out the common mistakes many Muslims fall into when trying to seek benefit from the Names. Then comes the question every believer thinks about: Which is Allah's Greatest Name - the Name connected to answered Duas? The evidences, the strongest scholarly views, and the practical takeaway are all laid out. Watch till the end - the next episode moves into specific Names that can reshape how you stand before Allah… if your heart is ready for it.

War was never the plan. So how did the situation change so quickly? The Muslims left Madinah intending to intercept a caravan. But once the caravan escaped, new information reached both sides, and the direction of events shifted. In episode 76 of the Seerah, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how matters developed as Quraysh continued advancing toward Badr. Their numbers, leadership, and intentions become clear, as does why some tribes chose to turn back while others pressed on. The episode also follows the decisions made by the Prophet ﷺ as the reality of a battle became unavoidable. Consultation takes place, different opinions are voiced, and firm commitments are given by the companions, especially as responsibility settles on those who would bear the greatest cost. You'll learn how the Muslims prepared on the ground, how information was gathered, how positions were chosen near the wells of Badr, and how Allah supported them through the night with calm, rest, and stability. The Prophet ﷺ spends the night in duʿa, while the army prepares for what lies ahead. The battle has not begun yet. But everything needed for it is now in place.

Life doesn't always hit in gentle waves. Sometimes it comes all at once - worry, sadness, setbacks, confusion. You try to make dua, you try to stay patient, but your heart still feels heavy. If you've been stuck in that place… It's going to be okay. Allah hasn't abandoned you. In this reminder, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes you back to the moment in Surah Yusuf where Yaqub teaches his sons something essential: a believer may feel pain, but they don't lose hope in Allah's mercy or His relief. Through the story of Yaqub, the duas of the prophets, and the balance between fear and hope, Ustadh Tim explains how knowing Allah's names and attributes changes the way you go through hardship - and why despair has no place in a believer's heart. If you've been struggling quietly, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to hold on when things feel stuck, this talk is for you.

The Name Allah appears more than two thousand times in the Qur'an. Let that sink in. It's in almost every duʿa you make, every dhikr you repeat, every moment you turn back to your Lord. Yet most of us say it thousands of times in our lives without ever stopping to ask the simplest question. Do I actually understand the One I'm calling upon? We move from ayah to ayah, dhikr to dhikr, prayers, hopes, fears… all built on a Name we use constantly but rarely study. And that gap changes everything about our worship. The Qur'an doesn't teach you how to pray before it teaches you who you're praying to. It begins with Names that carry the meanings of divinity, servitude, and the exclusive right to be worshipped. Knowing these Names is not the end of your journey. It's the moment it truly starts. Because once you know what they mean, another question hits even harder: What do these Names ask from you? In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores the Names Allah and Al-Ilah, and how understanding them reshapes worship, dependence, and the very way you see yourself as a servant of your Lord. Everyone submits to Allah, willingly or unwillingly. These Names reveal which path you're really walking. Watch this. Let it change how you worship.

The danger isn't dying unprepared. It's believing you'll prepare in time. This episode confronts one of the most dangerous habits of the heart: delay. Not open rebellion, not clear rejection, but the quiet confidence that there's still time. Time to change. Time to return. Time to take things seriously. In Episode 3 of the Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble unpacks verses that speak to the soul that feels safe, settled, and just awake enough to keep going. The kind of sleep that doesn't look like heedlessness, but is exactly that. The poet isn't describing strangers. He's speaking to someone he knows well. Someone sincere, but distracted. Someone who loves the dunya. Someone who keeps thinking the real wake-up moment is still far away. This lesson circles a haunting idea: what if the moment you finally pay attention is the moment you can no longer act? Watch carefully. Not later. Some awakenings don't come twice.

Feeling at ease. Still sinning. Still telling yourself, Allah is Forgiving. But what if that calm is exactly the danger? In this powerful reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan uncovers why the Quran warns against feeling safe from Allah's plan, and why delay, comfort, and "I'll repent later" have destroyed people before. Why were the Salaf afraid when doors of Dunya opened? When does ease stop being mercy? And why does punishment often come when people feel least threatened? A sobering wake-up for anyone relying on time instead of repentance.

We keep ignoring the signs that point to the Resurrection, even though they appear before our eyes every single day - until the day our eyes finally close… and we see it for real. This Makki Surah brings those visuals together with proofs that leave no room for excuses. Surah An-Naba forces you to confront the Great News that people argued about, dismissed, or treated lightly. It exposes the denial of the Mushrikeen, the stubbornness behind their questions, and the same patterns we fall into when we delay preparing for the Hereafter. In this tafseer, you'll recognise the signs Allah placed around you - the earth you walk on, the sleep you depend on, the night that covers you, the heavens above you, the rain that brings vegetation from the ground - each one a reminder that the One who created them will resurrect you. And as the Surah unfolds, the scenes of the Day of Judgement rise before you: the Trumpet, the sky opening, the mountains swept away, Jahannam lying in wait, and the honour reserved for the people of taqwa. Just enough is revealed to awaken the heart, not enough to soften the warning. The Great News is coming. Prepare for it while there is time.
