Source of Guidance

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is the Most Merciful and the Most Gracious. He loves His creatures and servants much much more than a mother loves her child. So how can He leave us unguided, unprotected and unrewarded? He has given us intelligence above all His Creations in the world.

By using our intelligence, insight and understanding we can easily see the signs of Allah which are so prominent and so numerous! Our own self is a sign of Allah and all that is around us from plants to animals and from the skies to our earth!

It is entirely our fault if we do not want to direct our intelligence to the right direction or way to understand Allah and His Greatness.
Not only this, Allah has not left His creation without any help or guidance; it is always present near us so that we can refer to it anytime!
That guidance is the Holy Quran, the Pure and True message of Allah is with us to guide us to the Right Path.

This Light of Guidance is always shining in the world so that anybody who wants can seek guidance, help or enlightenment from it till the Last Hour is established.

It is always alive in the hearts of all Muslims who love Allah, His Messenger and have faith in all that Allah sent through His Messengers (May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon them all).

So, first it was Human Intelligence that was bestowed to help man understand his existence and end and then he was provided with an everlasting guide in the form of the Quran.

But this is not the end.

Apart from this Allah has given us the Life of our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) to see how a Muslim should live.
He chose His Messenger from among the common people, who had a simple life so that everyone could identify and relate to him easily.

O you who have believed...(Part-1)

O you who have believed Let us have a look at all the signs in the Noble Quran where Allah, the Almighty addresses the Believers directly. It is important to know what Allah, the Almighty says to those who profess their belief and Faith in Him. As believers in the One True God, Allah, we must have a closer look at all the commands that have been given by our Merciful Lord addressing us directly: O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. 2:153 O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. 2:172 O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of ... in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: 2:178 O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -2:183 O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the foot...

Why I wear Hijab.

The topic of Hijab has always been a controversial topic for many among those who are not Muslims and even among those who are Muslims. When something is not understood clearly and is approached with a stance that is personal and emotional then it is indeed a matter of doubt and uncertainty. But, when you intend to understand something sincerely and try to find out its origin and meaning from the most authentic sources then there remains no doubt and hesitation and you tend to accept it readily with ease. The same goes for the topic of Hijab. Most of the people think that Hijab is a choice and not a command by Allah in the Noble Quran and they present various points to prove it. I am just a student of Al Quran and I myself did not wear Hijab till I entered University. But one fine day, by the Will of Allah, I was reading the Chapter 24 The Light (An Noor) in the Quran. I came across the famous verses on Hijab and I felt something inside my heart. I realized that these are...

Why patience?

The Arabic word Sabr صبر implies many shades of meaning, which it is impossible to comprehend in one English word. It implies 1) patience in the sense of being thorough, not hasty; 2) patient perseverance, constancy, steadfastness, firmness of purpose; 3) sytematic as opposed to spasmodic or chance action; 4) a cheerful attitude of resignation and understanding in sorrow, defeat, or suffering, as opposed to murmuring or rebellion, but saved from mere passivity or listlessness, by the element of constancy or steadfastness. (2:45 Commentary) An additional meaning implied in sabr is self-restraint. Haqqani defines in his tafseer as following Reason and restraining Fear, Anger and Desire. What can be a higher reward for patience, perseverance, self-restraint and constancy than that Allah should be with us? For this promise opens the door to every kind of spiritual well-being. ...Patient perseverance is ...active striving in the way of Truth...
