Some more Wise Sayings (Entries in my diary)



  • The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved. Victor Hugo
  • Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy. Ralph Connors
  • A happy man marries the girl he loves but a happier man loves the girl he marries.
  • Thought and action do not reach a state where we become completely wise. It's something which continues throughout our life and helps us to widen our mental perspective and helps us to become wise and knowledgeable. 
  • I like men with soft hearts and hard heads. Gerald Kennedy
  • Please all and you please none.
  • Others may give (wish) you peace and ease, with a gentle break for the year ahead; silken sails upon storm-less seas , or rose-rimmed paths where your feet may tread; I wish you the fiber the violent need, to strive your way through the bitter blasts; I wish you the heart of the fighting breed, to carry you through while the fighting lasts. 
  • The exercise of religious duties will not atone for the fault of the abusive tongue.
  • God is Gracious to him who earns his living by his own labor and not by begging.
  • God instructs me to be humble and lowly and not proud, and no one should oppress others.
  • He who humbles himself for God him will God exalt.
  • God is gentle and loves gentleness.

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...
