Lack of fear - The reason to wrong doings!

By -
   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, the 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 lying, listening to music? Are we so fearless of Hell? Or do we think that we'll not be thrown into it by committing these sins? Or the most dangerous thing; we don't believe in it like it is to be believed? The way in which Allah has explained its intensity and nature should be enough to make our skin crawl with fear and to change our course of action in a more acceptable(to Allah) way.

    Fear the day when it'll be brought into our visibility. There will be no escape from it and no going back to alter the condition. People will scream in bloodcurdling voices yet there will be no mercy that day. Allah forbid, non-believers will be thrown into it. May he bless us with Noor-Hidayah and save us from Hell. [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

    Very nicely written reminder for today's youth indulged in the life of this dunya :)

    2 things to polish the understand here.
    There will surely be mercy on that day. Whoever ALLAAH forgives, who can ask HIM (The Most Merciful) about it, and whoever he punishes who can ask HIM(The Possessor of All Strength) about it.

    Secondly, we should distinguish between a non-believer and a non-muslim. A non believer is one who is a muslim, but at the stage of Al-Islam, a non-muslim is yet to be in the folds of Islam. Though both will be punished, but the latter will be punished more severely as compared to the former kind because of atleast accepting the Kalima

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

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 :) Credit:  ht

REASON OF EXISTENCE

By -
It so happens that we enter a room for a purpose but the moment we enter, we forget why we came altogether. Then in this brief period our attention diverts to some other task and we get engross in it. And after considerable time we suddenly remember the real task and we have a chance to complete it. The world is like that room, we entered in it with a purpose but we got distracted. before our time comes, we must do something about it or else, we'll be in " khasara" greatest loss after which there is no going back. So what we need to do is be attentive all the time. Keep your purpose in your mind. I know that this is difficult. Allah said so himself that life of a momin is difficult. there's a hadis, I cant remember the exact words the excerpt is: "The path to heaven is filled with thorns and the way to hell is laden with flowers." And that: " The world for a believer is like a prison" So now we are clear about our life and our destiny. both are
