Are you plugged in rightly?


Our work and actions are all results of the energies, motivation and willingness that we have inside of us and these are influenced by what is outside of us or around us.

Where do we get our energies, motivation and willingness from? What inspires us to do what we do? 

The surroundings have a great role to play in how our life is shaped up.
The things around us have influence of us. But they are not influencing us as much as we are letting them influence us.
We still have our own urges, inner likes and dislikes of things that are around us. So it all rounds up to the fact that we are to a large extent responsible for making things influence us without monitoring them. 
There are so many people on this planet. They live in different circumstances, with different facilities and surroundings. But in every part of the world you can find some really good people who are sincere, honest, god fearing and really beneficial for the society. Even if they are not contributing much still they are beneficial by not being anti social or problematic for others. 
Someone rightly said that one should be a no-problem personality! 
The point that I want to make here is that whether you are in any corner of the earth you are always in control of at least yourself. You are the one who decides what is good for you or bad for you. You are the one who charges his or her morals with the right things. You only plug in yourself to things that influence you to the extent that they become a part of your daily life routine.
For example, if you are a music lover, you will be plugged in (in this case literally) to a music system and then eventually music becomes your life, your soul, and your end also. 
If your have plugged yourself into a love of movies, you start seeing things in that light and they are always on your head.
In the same way, if you plug yourself into different things that are good for your life and that of others, into things that are constructive, creative and beneficial for your own personality and that of others, you get an extra reward for that. You charge yourself with energies that build a beautiful life for you and hence a beautiful end. 
When you are plugged in just for your own happiness then you might feel happy in a superfluous sense but it will never fill the emptiness in you. You will go away as someone who lived for ecstasy and joy, enjoyment and amusement, fun and frolic but nothing gained as when you leave you leave alone. What will be left for others or for even you to take it with you as good deeds that might benefit in your life ahead of life! 
But these things are only understood if a person believes in the fact that we are not created just for fun; we will die but will be accountable because it does not make sense that our Creator makes things just for jest; with no Purpose whatsoever?! 
So let us plug-in ourselves rightly so that we are charged in the correct way!

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...

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 Ibrāhīm عليه السلام, to the Kaʿbah, 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: Ibrāhīm’s Call Surah Al‑Hajj 22:27 وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ ‎ Allah commands Ibrāhīm عليه السلام to proclaim the pilgrimage: “Proclaim to th...
