Understanding Islam

In Arabic, words are formed from some basic root words which take various forms to mean differently in different contexts thus giving Arabic Language richness. That is the reason why the Arabic terms cannot be accurately translated into other languages to give the perfectly same meanings as the original. To understand this concept of root words we can take some example from English language. For example there is this word irreversible . You can see that it is not the basic word rather it has some prefix and suffix. The basic word that you can find here is actually reverse . When we put –ir before it and –ible after it, it becomes ir=reverse-ible, and we write it as irreversible. This way we can now understand Arabic words too. The word Islam اسلام  comes from the root word sa la ma. س-Ù„-Ù… Islam is the technical name of the creed preached by the holy Prophet Muhammed pbuh. It has been the religion of all prophets in all climes, other (so called religions) being so ma...

Tips to be a really good wife!

Taken from www.farhathashmi.com 1 : Be grateful to your husband . Remind yourself that it’s a tough world out there and your husband works very hard to provide for you. So whatever you do, don’t compare him to other men, unless it is favorably. Let him know that you  appreciate his efforts , not just through your words, but also your actions. 2:  Be sensitive to his moods, feelings and needs . For example,  don’t start complaining  or burden him with problems as soon as he comes home; rather, welcome him and make him feel good to be home. 3 : Be cheerful and humorous, smile often,  don’t feel shy to be affectionate with your husband and make him feel really happy to be around you.  Express your love frequently and creatively, rather than waiting for him to do so first. 4: Make sure you serve him the foods he likes, remembering that variety is the spice of life. Try to eat together as this fosters companionship. 5:  Dress up for your hus...

Let me tell you the ways to get to his heart  Delicious food is where you should start A really good meal – there’s nothing like it Be it steak or biryani, kebabs or fish When he returns home from work, greet him at the door A really nice smile will please him for sure Elegant clothes, make-up, perfume applied All these things make for an attractive wife.

Some Humble Advices

Rely on no human. Expect from no human. Get attached to no human. Ask no human. Rely on Allah. Expect from Allah. Get attached to Allah. Ask from Allah. People often maintain good relations with their fellow beings thinking that they might be of some good to them. They might benefit them or help them in times of need. This is a very base and selfish thinking. We must never keep good relations based on such an attitude or thinking. This kind of relation has no depth, no value , no respect and no reliability. When we maintain any relation with others it must be based on Allah’s commandments. It must be for His sake and pleasure. This means when we keep a relation we must keep in mind the rules laid down by Allah for that relation. For example if we make friends with our neighbor we must be aware of the rights of a neighbor and friend in Islam.  We must also know how important it is to enjoin good and forbid evil.  Spending time with frie...

You are gone…

Now who’s there to complain, to feel pride, to boast to boss around, to hate and to do this and that? The ‘I’ of you has died. What was it for anyway? The ‘I’ has perished. It is now in the mud. Its worth is now final. Did the ‘I’ in you lived for itself, for others or for it’s creator? What did it think of ‘itself’? ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘myself’ was nothing in itself. ‘I’ was good if it was good to others not only to itself. ‘I’ was successful if it found others happy, ‘around itself’ not just for ‘itself’. Why are there others around you? Just for you to find faults in them! For you to criticize them! For you to do what you like! NO. Others are put there around you to ‘test’ the ‘I’ in you. ‘I’ was created to love the fellow creatures and not to hate them. To help them out and not to be difficult to them. To guide them to good and not to mislead them. To love them for Allah. To fulfill your duty toward them. To show that you ‘hav...
