Life and three questions.

By -
Gimmie a purpose, and I'll give you a reason
Gimmie life and you'll get death
The world goes round and we stay put
What's our purpose?
To live? To die? To mock? To save? To kill?

None know of thier purpose
Not even you and I


   Allah has granted us this life and definitely there is a purpose to it. But have we ever took out some time from our busy  lives to think of this purpose? I guess not.The three most important questions we should ask ourselves are "Who am I?" "What am I here for?" "Where am I heading to?" and we will easily find out whether we are living our life the way it is desired or not.

   A man of the modern day world will answer these questions quiet differently then someone whose identity hasn't yet been stolen by this luxurious world.


Man of the modern world

 "Who am I?"

= A person of today will answer this question by telling his name, his social status, his profession, his identity. He would be proud to boast about his being above others.

"What am I here for?"

= He will think the reason of life is only earning money, getting a good fortune, name and fame. Trying to win in the race and leave others behind in worldly materiel things.

"Where am I heading to?"

= I am heading towards a better life, a higher status, a higher rank in this world.

   Thus, in all his answers there will be no mention of the real life, or the purpose of this life which has been granted to us so that we can prepare for the life ahead.


Right Answers:

"Who am I?"

 = I am a human being, the most highest of Allah's creations and most important a Muslim.

"What am I here for?"

= I am here so that I can obey the commands of my creator to gain His approval and be under His blessings. I am sent to help my fellow beings in difficult times, to be a reason for their happiness and to give a shoulder to cry on in their sorrow

"Where am I heading to?"

= I am heading towards my grave with every passing day. The day of judgment is closing in on me so I should prepare myself for it so that I don't regret wasting my life in trivial things and resulting in being sent to Hell.


    A man of toady is totally a man of this world and not of his creator. With every step he is getting closer to his own destruction.

   We don't know when life will end for us. It might be today or maybe after many long years. But are we prepared to face Allah? He gave us everything but what are we doing?  We have left the straight path we are no longer on "Sirat-e-mustaqim" and it is a shame for us. Let us all promise today to Allah that we will try to be better human beings and live our life according to the ways told by Him. We will not let Satan be our leader. We won't follow him because his path leads to hell. Allah's path will take us to heaven, "Jannat" and so that is the path we will now follow. May Allah guide us and keep us steadfast always. Ameen .
Me? I don't know who I am. I'm on a mission to find myself you can help me along. Maybe with everyone's help I'll discover myself :P

    A simple blog post with a profound message! It is indeed quite important for us to know full well whether our answers coincide with those that they are meant to be.

    May Allah guide us all to the right path and may we make actual efforts to change ourselves.

    A very well-written post!

SALAHUDDIN AL-AYUBI (The Liberator Of Jerusalem) -I

by Dr. Mahmoud Esmail Sieny " The answer to an ill-deed is an ill-deed or the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth his reward is with Allaah. Surely, He does not love wrong doers." (Al Quran 42:40) History tells us that when Sultan Salahuddin regained Jerusalem from the invading and ruthless Crusaders, who had ninety years earlier massacred and savagely treated its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, he met a group of Latin Christian women who addressed him, "O Sultan! You see that we are leaving. Among us are mothers, wives, daughters or sisters to the soldiers in captivity with you. These men are our support in life, and if we lose them we will lose everything. But if you leave them for our sake, you will be giving us back our lives." At this our hero Salahuddin smiled and he gave orders that the sons and husbands of those women were to be set free. He went even further and gave money to the women whose supporters were killed in the battle. An irate Frenc...

Ideals

I recently had a chance to come to know one of the great writers of Pakistan, Ibne Safi. Ibne Safi He has an ability to engage his reader and take him to places in his mind and than when reader finishes the novel, he has the urge to create exact environment in real. His protagonist obeys, respect the law and makes those around him to do so too. I think about how many minds he revolutionized. How much he changed the society. I am sure he put large amount of effort in salvaging the society and help people to take it to this far. His writings are timeless. They can be used by every individual of any age. He rightly read his times and the way he changed the track of thought of especially young minds is marvellous. His writing proves that he was of the men who don't complaint about circumstances rather stand up and remove the filth silently and efficiently. Their efforts speak of their ache and love for their society, their people.  for more information on Ibne Safi, visit...

Something different yet so Beautiful

By -
In today's world, different things can happen and people can ask different things. The result from them might be something enormous and beautiful.  I will write down a small conversation that I read somewhere. A: Don't we see that all natural processes take place on time? Has sun ever said that today I cannot rise because I do not feel like or I am tired of monotony? No, it never has. But, yes once it did not rise on time. Yes, there is one incident in history when sun did not rise on its prescribed timings. Can anybody tell me that? B: The day Hazrat Bilal Habshi Radi Allah u 'Anhu did not give  azaan.  Allah SWT did not make the sun rise until Hazrat Bilal Radi Allhu 'Anhu called for  fajar  prayers.  I was familiar with the incident. But the comment that followed was something that I was not familiar with. Something that I knew, but I knew not. 'A' said:  "Taqwa kaainaat ko musakhhar karne ki quwwat rakhat hai" Beautiful :) C...
