{"product_id":"the-burning-ember-tee","title":"The Burning Ember Organic Cotton Tee | Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eA purposeful everyday 100% organic cotton tee created as a reminder to remain patient and steadfast upon Islam when obedience becomes difficult and compromise appears easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front features the Ummah Balance logo. The back carries an abstract geometric hand holding a burning ember, alongside the words \u003cstrong\u003ePerseverance. Steadfastness. Truth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is inspired by the hadith in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described a time when the person who remains patient upon his religion will be like someone holding onto a burning ember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image reflects the difficulty a Muslim may experience when trying to obey Allah during times of temptation, doubt, pressure, and widespread neglect of Islamic teachings. It points to the believer who strives to protect the prayer, avoid what Allah has forbidden, remain honest, restrain the \u003cem\u003enafs\u003c\/em\u003e (the self and its desires), and hold firmly to the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSabr\u003c\/strong\u003e is not passive waiting. It includes remaining patient in obedience to Allah, restraining oneself from sin, and responding to trials in a way that pleases Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerseverance\u003c\/strong\u003e means continuing in obedience despite difficulty and discouragement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteadfastness\u003c\/strong\u003e means remaining firm upon Islam while asking Allah to keep the heart upon guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTruth\u003c\/strong\u003e means holding to what is established by the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah, rather than following pressure, desire, or popularity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardship by itself is not proof that a person is upon the truth. The standard is what is established by the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah. This piece is not a celebration of difficulty for its own sake, but a reminder to remain obedient to Allah when following the truth requires patience and sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meaning also connects to the \u003cem\u003eghurabā’\u003c\/em\u003e (the strangers), those who remain committed to Islam when its teachings become neglected or unfamiliar. This does not mean seeking isolation, harshness, or attention. It means remaining sincere, patient, and firm upon the truth while maintaining wisdom and good character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black colourway gives the piece a bold and understated finish, allowing the artwork and its message to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design does not contain Qur’anic verses, the Names or Attributes of Allah, or sacred text. The geometric hand and ember are conceptual reminders only. The reminder is not in the fabric itself, but in what the design points back to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/reflections\/burning-ember-holding-firm\" title=\"The Burning Ember: Holding Firm When Faith Is Tested\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead the reflection behind this design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% organic ringspun combed cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle jersey fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet-in sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x1 ribbed neck collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside back neck tape in self fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide double-needle topstitch on the sleeve and bottom hems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 180 gsm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel height 170cm, size medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ummah Balance","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ XX-Small","offer_id":54347260395859,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-XXS","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ X-Small","offer_id":54347260428627,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-XS","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Small","offer_id":54347260461395,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-S","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Medium","offer_id":54347260494163,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-M","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Large","offer_id":54347260526931,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-L","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ X-Large","offer_id":54347260559699,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-XL","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 2X-Large","offer_id":54347260592467,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-2XL","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 3X-Large","offer_id":54347260625235,"sku":"STTU169-BLK-3XL","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1047\/1424\/0339\/files\/file_00000000f118820a9fcbba7f882beed2.png?v=1787155790","url":"https:\/\/ummahbalance.com\/products\/the-burning-ember-tee","provider":"Ummah Balance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
