And when guidance comes to you...

The questions coming to the mind of any thinking individual mostly revolve around the origin of his existence, his being in this world and his death.

Where have I come from?

Who created me?

Why am I here on this earth?

What will happen to me after death?

Any rational person can make out that this whole creation is not without any plan or purpose. But most of the time he is unable to direct his thoughts to the correct source.

Just as we are created beings and we can not control our births or deaths, in the same way we can not select or choose just anything to help us lead our life on this earth.

The Creator has created us and has not left us unguided.

Our souls belong to the Creator so they need guidance divine;

guidance that is pure, unadulterated, unchanged and completely trustworthy,

guidance which is for the whole of mankind from the first to the last person on the face of this earth, guidance that can claim that it is intact from the time it was revealed till date.

There are many books which are claimed to be divine revelations and we believe them to be divine revelations but they have gone through many alterations over time.

The Book which has not gone through any change whatsoever since the time of its revelation is none other than the Noble Quran and many of the people do not know this fact.

It is purely divine knowledge and not the result of human effort. It is sublime because it is a gift of the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe who chose mankind for His special favours.

The incident of birth is not left to man's choice. The Creator has put the love of truth and the inner ability to recognise good from bad inside each one of us.

Those who think that gaining money or power in this world is success have got it all wrong. With death everything of this world comes to an end. The real success is something which is everlasting.

When you don't know exactly where you came from how can you be sure about what happens to you after you die? Those who are heedless of the truth that there is an everlasting life after death, are actually thinking that everything is created in jest...with no purpose and no plan.

How can such a grand universe be created by God without any purpose?

No one builds even a worldly building without any purpose in mind!

Let us see what our Creator says in these two verses of the Noble Quran:

O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous. Surah al Baqarah, 21.
And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. Surah al Baqarah, 38.

We are created by God and He has not left us unguided. The need is just to listen to our inner voice that knows the truth. We just need to follow the voice of our hearts to seek the truth and accept it when we recognize it.

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...
