10 days gone...



WE WERE WAITING FOR IT. IT HAS COME. WE CAN SEE IT GOING SLOWLY...IT IS ALREADY 10 DAYS GONE...ONLY 20 DAYS LEFT. DID WE DO SOMETHING IN THESE TEN DAYS TO FEEL THE SPIRIT OF RAMADAN?
WE HAD SOME IDEAS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH. WE REALLY WANTED TO SPEND THIS RAMADAN BETTER THAN OUR LAST ONE. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE. 
  • DID WE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THIS RAMADAN EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST ONE?
  • DID WE EAT OUR SUHOOR WITH THE INTENTION OF GAINING THE BLESSINGS THAT IT HOLDS?
  • DID WE MAKE INTENTION OF FASTING BEFORE WE PRAYED FAJR? 
  • DID WE RECITE DUA WHILE PREPARING THE SUHOOR?
  • DID WE LISTEN TO THE QURAN? 
  • DID WE READ THE MORNING DUA AND QURAN AFTER FAJR?
  • DID WE PRAY OUR FAJR NICELY?
  • DID WE UTILIZE OUR TIME OF FASTING IN USEFUL THINGS LIKE READING, WRITING, RECITING AND REFLECTING ON THE QURAN?
  • DID WE PICK UP SOME HADEETH BOOK AND GO THROUGH ONE HADEETH?
  • DID WE SHARE GOOD THINGS WITH OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS? 
  • WERE WE GENEROUS TO THE POOR?
  • DID WE MAKE OUR IFTAR TIME OUR DUA TIME?
  • DID WE PREPARE A SIMPLE IFTAAR WITH NO WASTAGE OF FOOD?
  • DID WE RELAX FOR SOMETIME DURING THE FAST?
  • DID WE GO FOR TARAWEEH?
  • OR DID WE PRAY TARAWEEH AT HOME?
  • DID WE READ 4 PAGES OF THE QURAN AFTER EACH PRAYER?
  • DID WE FIND EXTRA TIME TO MAKE LOTS AND LOTS OF DUA FOR US AND OTHERS?
  • DID WE CHECK OURSELVES FOR ANY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR? 
  • DID WE STOP OURSELVES FROM FIGHTING, USING BAD AND USELESS LANGUAGE AND WATCHING UNHEALTHY AND MEANINGLESS PROGRAMS? 
  • DID WE FEEL THE LOVE OF ALLAH IN OUR HEARTS BECAUSE WE ARE FASTING JUST FOR HIM AND NO ONE ELSE?
  • DID WE INVITE SOMEONE OVER FOR IFTAAR OR PROVIDE SOME FOOD TO BREAK SOMEONE'S FAST?
IF WE DID ALL THIS OR SOME OF THIS UP TILL NOW THEN INSHA ALLAH REST OF OUR DAYS IN THIS MONTH WILL BE OUR BEST DAYS TOO...
RAMADAN IS PASSING SLOWLY...
LET US MAKE THE MOST OF IT NOW...

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...
