Harsh Facts


SCENE 1
Wow! a party!! I will definitely be there. Who else is coming? (Thinking about wearing the best dress and best make-up and planning the days according to the day of the Party).

An Ijtema (Religious gathering). Okay. Ummm...yes. Errr  actually....lets see. Insha Allah. Actually the venue is quite far from my place. It is out of the way. I have conveyance problem. I do not have anybody to drop me there to accompany me....and so many more excuses suddenly pop up like kids, health, busy schedule etc. (Not finding any excitement or interest to be there at any cost, a gathering which is one hundred percent (100%) blessed by Allah and surrounded by Angels!!

SCENE 2
Honey! do not forget to wake me up at 7 sharp in the morning. I have a very important meeting at 8. Our company can get a huge profit if this meeting is successful. (or simply do not want to be late for office, college, school etc.)

How many of us seriously try to wake up for the most important prayer of the day...the Fajr prayer?
How many of us get upset if we are not able to catch up on time for the prayer?
How many of us set alarm to get up on time for the prayer, so that we do not miss it?
How many of us get upset if someone we asked to wake us up did not do so and we missed the prayer?
How many of us feel the importance of getting up for Fajr and waking up our family too?

Do we  consider our punctuality for office, school, college etc. more important and fruitful than the First prayer of the day? It is one of the two cool time prayers about which we are commanded to be specifically conscious about.
Our boss, teacher etc. will scold us, get upset, charge the late fee, or just fire us. We are afraid of this.
But we are not the least afraid of Allah, the Master of all masters.
Why are we here? How did we come here? Who created us?
Should we not think more about Him than others?
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
AT LEAST TRY to be good to yourselves. Let us not live like other creatures which just survive. Live like Good Muslims.
We have good understanding. We are superior to all Allah's creations.
Always give time to your Creator first.
His creations come next. He just asks us to Remember and Thank Him. The method to do so is to Pray on time.
Always give first preference to your Faith. Our Faith is upon five pillars. We need to build these pillars stronger so that our Faith stands upright and unshaken.
One of the Pillars is Prayer. It is very important. Without it one is not a good muslim. We would be asked about our Prayers first thing on the Day of Judgment.
What will we answer?
We prayed all five prayers. Yes/No
We prayed them on time. Yes/No
We prayed them nicely. Yes/No
Let us prepare ourselves to answer all the questions in Yes.
So let us give preference to our Faith...let us establish prayer...
Let us define our identity...
Let us be Good Muslims
Live Islam
Love Islam.

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...
