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 ‘have a heart’.
Just imagine yourself on death bed.
Will it matter to you if the things around you are not the way you liked them to be?

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 ŹæaqÄ«dah and inner state?” The answer, according to the scholars of the past and present, is beautifully simple: Purify your Tawįø„Ä«d and  make sincere tawbah. Everything else flows from these two foundations. 1. Renewing Tawįø„Ä«d: The Heart of Hajj Hajj is the greatest physical expression of Tawįø„Ä«d. Every ritual — from the talbiyah to the į¹­awāf — proclaims the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, the heart must be c...

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...

Hajj: In the Noble Qur'an

  Hajj is not merely a journey to Makkah — it is a journey into the heart of surrender. The Qur’an speaks about Hajj with a blend of history, law, spirituality, and symbolism. It ties the pilgrim to Prophet IbrāhÄ«m Ų¹Ł„ŁŠŁ‡ Ų§Ł„Ų³Ł„Ų§Ł…, to the KaŹæbah, and to the timeless call that still echoes across the world. Hajj embodies all the forms of worship like prayers, charity and sacrifice. The pilgrim is set on a journey that requires physical, spiritual and emotional strength. One must be equipped with the required knowledge about all the rituals of this great act of worship. Patience and good character during this journey and complete submission to the Will of Allah can guarantee an accepted Hajj, by the Will and Grace of Almighty Allah.  1. The Origin of Hajj: IbrāhÄ«m’s Call Surah Al‑Hajj 22:27 ŁˆَŲ£َŲ°ِّŁ† ŁِŁŠ Ų§Ł„Ł†َّŲ§Ų³ِ ŲØِŲ§Ł„ْŲ­َŲ¬ِّ ŁŠَŲ£ْŲŖُŁˆŁƒَ Ų±ِŲ¬َŲ§Ł„ًŲ§ ŁˆَŲ¹َŁ„َŁ‰ٰ ŁƒُŁ„ِّ Ų¶َŲ§Ł…ِŲ±ٍ ŁŠَŲ£ْŲŖِŁŠŁ†َ Ł…ِŁ† ŁƒُŁ„ِّ ŁَŲ¬ٍّ Ų¹َŁ…ِŁŠŁ‚ٍ ‎ Allah commands IbrāhÄ«m Ų¹Ł„ŁŠŁ‡ Ų§Ł„Ų³Ł„Ų§Ł… to proclaim the pilgrimage: “Proclaim to th...
