Balance in life




It is indeed very important to establish a balance in one’s daily life regarding one’s faith and world.

Get involved in both but in moderation. Not to neglect the faith for one’s worldly affairs and vice-versa.

Balance can be sought or achieved by adopting a simple life.

 Too many engagements, possessions, worries and luxuries destroy both the achievement of faith and the happiness in this world.

So, a simple life has less distractions, lesser worries and is less tiring,
Have a simple life, have few hopes, aspirations, ambitions and wishes.
Do not have long-term hopes and aspirations that make you feel burdened and tired even when you just think of them, let alone striving to achieve them.

 You do not even know for sure if you would be able to live till that time to see them fulfilled!
Simple life can give you lots of time for useful things in your faith and daily affairs.
Be content in what you have. Give away from your possessions to those who are needy. Do not keep on adding more and more without spending on useful and constructive things.

 Try to think if you really need more things and if that which you already have is sufficient for you.

 Do not be a miser either. Spend whole heartedly on which it is good to spend, like on yourself, your family, relatives and the poor.
Charity only increases our wealth manifold.

 Try not to waste your time in useless and idle things. Rather try reading some part of the Holy Quran daily with meanings and commentary.
Recite the daily supplications to make sure that you are under Allah’s mercy and protection.

 Do not overwhelm yourself with lots of things, just adopt a few and stick to them on a regular basis.
This way a simple and balanced life will be led enjoying both the faith and worldly happiness.

Before setting out for Hajj

  Before setting out for Hajj: The Most Important Spiritual Preparation for Every Pilgrim Hajj is not just a journey of the body — it is a journey of the heart. Long before a pilgrim steps onto the plane, long before the ihrām is worn, and long before the talbiyah rises from the tongue, the heart must be prepared to stand before Allah in the most sacred days of a believer’s life. Among all the checklists, packing guides, and logistical preparations, there is one question every pilgrim must ask: “What is the most important thing I should do before Hajj in terms of my ʿaqīdah and inner state?” The answer, according to the scholars of the past and present, is beautifully simple: Purify your Tawḥīd and  make sincere tawbah. Everything else flows from these two foundations. 1. Renewing Tawḥīd: The Heart of Hajj Hajj is the greatest physical expression of Tawḥīd. Every ritual — from the talbiyah to the ṭawāf — proclaims the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, the heart must be c...

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...
