Little Thoughtfulness...makes ordinary days special.

Use your new bed sheet any day and surprise your family.
Try wearing a new dress and feel happy!
Use your new set of cups, cutlery or any thing and see the happy faces of your kids and hubby!


Sometime back I came upon this very good idea from somewhere...I do not remember whether it was a book or what.
It said that a little thoughtfulness can make our ordinary days special. Why wait for some special day to feel the excitement and happiness? Why not make our ordinary days special too by doing some small acts of thoughtfulness?
Our kids notice even the small details sometimes. When you change the setting of the house, when you put new plates at the dinner table, when you wear a pretty dress and of course when you make some dish and add an innovative idea to it while presenting it.
All this makes them excited and they exclaim. "Wow mummy! You look pretty. Is this your new dress?!"
A bedroom comes alive when you change the bed cover. Why not put a new bed sheet today which you had kept for a while to take out when some guests will arrive?
When your hubby comes home he feels refreshed on seeing a neatly done bed with a new bed sheet!
Same goes for any thing new that you can use up today and not keep in the almirah for ages, waiting for the special day to come.
Every one likes good changes in life. It brings happiness and excitement to an otherwise routine life. 
Try doing this little thoughtful act of using brand new things in ordinary days and see the smile on the faces of your loved ones.

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...
