Come to Falaah

Do not be a part of spreading of evil. Like good completes its full circle, evil does the same. It returns back to its origin, from where it had started. Doesn't it sound scary that one day an evil deed or saying will come back to us. haunt us, punish us for what we had done! And think of akhirah, the judgement day! It is said that; every person will have to carry their own weight of deeds.(Al-Baqarah) Nobody will get rid of their bad deeds, nobody there will carry it for you. The more bad you did in this world the heavier will be your sack of deeds. The more you did good here in the world the lighter it will be. It is also said that like if someone does a good deed and it goes on in a chain, and until it is alive the reward will be given to the person who started it and other persons who continued it. Likewise it is for evil. Until that evil is alive, the originator, the person who started it, will be punished until then, people who participated in it and continued it will be as w

Imaad-Ud-Din-A Heart Rending End

He knew from his experience in Sind how eager the Indian masses were to enjoy the good life promised by Islam. But events at home were taking a sad turn. The hey day of young hero was rapidly drawing to a close. His career of conquest was going to cut short. All was ready for a march in the heart of Hindustan when the news of Hajjaj's death reached to Sind. The news made Mohammad very very sad. Hajjaj was his uncle and father-in-law. But he was much more to him than just this. It was he who had given him a chance to show his rare abilities. Again it was Hajjaj to whom he turned for advice throughout the campaign. Walid thought that the success in Sind was solely due to Hajjaj. Now that Hajjaj was no more, the Caliph thought it was wise to call a halt in Sind. He knew almost nothing about the monumental talents of young Conqueror of Sind. This was pretty bad for the high spirits of a conquering army. But worse things were to follow. In the year 715 Walid died. The new Caliph Suleman

Hijab And Women Of Today

Written by Noor-e-Hira and Sarah Saqib. How ironical is that those of us who have the freedom of easily cover and protect themselves from the dirt of the society are not availing this blessing yet on the other hand those French Muslim women despite of being subjected to injustice are still determined to continue it. They are ready to suffer the worldly punishments in order to save themselves from hell fire. While these women are moving forward on "Sirat-e-Mustaqeem" we are rushing towards "Liberalism" It is ultimate foolishness; we have Allaah's Kalaam, which is in the form of strong commandments then we have the examples of Sahaba and Sahabyat who molded themselves completely to these commandments. For those who consider these examples as tales of old times which cannot be applied in "modern times" then they can have a look on these French Muslim women who are strong in belief and are ready to give away their worldly luxuries over Jannat's Prizes

Lack of fear - The reason to wrong doings!

   Fear alone persuades us to take precautions against falling prey to certain things. Until we are not afraid of something we do not take measures to protect ourselves from it. Same is for Islam. How can our Namaz be filled with khush'u and khuz'u when we don't fear Allaah Ta'ala in the real manner. How can we pause even for a second while backbiting;to consider that its gunah or slandering or adultery when we don't fear the fire of Hell! Fear is important to alter one's behavior/attitude. When a huge fire is burning what sane person would dare to go near it? The fear of its huge flames will not allow us to take a single step towards it.      In the same way, fear of Allah , Akhrah , t he day of judgement , accountability and punishment is important to stop us from committing sins. When we are in a classroom we do not usually talk or misbehave because we fear that we'll be expelled from the class, then why don't we pause when we are lyin

IMAAD-UD-DIN

Disclaimer: This piece is copied from a book I read 5 years ago. I am sorry I can't remember its name. "To Dear Mohammad (sallallhu alaehe wasallam) The Savior Of Mankind From Whom Flows Directly All What Is Great In Modern Life" > Sind was the first part of the sub-continent to be lit up by the light of Islam. In the wake of this light came the freedom and equality of man. For the first time since the time began, the people of Sind knew what it meant to live on human level. People in the rest of the sub-continent were still doomed to sub-human lives. This rare good luck earned for Sind, the title of "Bab-UL-Islam" or the Gateway of Islam. To conquer Sind, Hajjaj's choice fell upon his youthful nephew Mohammad Bin Qasim. Mohammad would no doubt would make a boy-commander, but that did not matter. There had been boy-commanders in Islam before. Usama bin Zaid was also a boy-commander, appointed by Messenger(PBUH) of Allaah himself. So Hajjaj finally made u
