As I ponder...




As I ponder over my life in particular and my family life in general with regard to the goals I need to set I come up with these thoughts:

 I need to set some targets and then strive to achieve them for success and peace in this life and most importantly the life after.

 Its a fact that we all love our families and friends, relatives and acquaintances we surely want the best for them.

 As I ponder over our life broadly I first want to see if some crucial things are missing, which are needed to be added into our life on a daily basis or routine.

 The first and foremost thing is to please our Creator in every deed that we do.

 The most important deed that we do on a daily basis is the prayers. We need to do them in the best of manner.

 They should be offered regularly, nicely and whole heartedly.

 Quran should be read daily little by little with some meaning and explanation.

 What I feel is that if we do not understand our Creator's message then how can we carry it out perfectly!

 Our children should be able to understand their roles as good muslims with no confusion in any matter whatsover. 

 They should be very clear about the aim of our life as sevants of our Creator and they should be kind and brave to face the world.

 They should give considerable importance to all the values of a good person. Sincerity, honesty and punctuality should be taught to them through our own behavior.

 On a gradual basis, in the form of stories, the kids should be taught about the way of life that leads to eternal success. 

 Offering prayers in the Mosques, reading the Quran daily, caring about others especially the poor and the needy, helping out, being kind to neighbors etc should become our habits with the course of time.

 We as parents should never discourage our kids. We must take care not to mention their weaknesses in front of them and others.

 We should assign some tasks to our children according to their age and capabilities so as to help them achieve self confidence and productiveness.

 Also, very important is to keep a check on our anger and short temper with the kids. We must be patient all along so that we are able to achieve what we wish to achieve for all of us.

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...
