(Guest post by Nimra Khursheed) Five minutes were remaining for the class to be dismissed when a student practically yelled from his seat: Jao na yar! (Get out  buddy!)  Witnessing no response another student joined in: Sir! Time is due! It was then a hustle bustle started at the back of the class where the boys were sitting , the remaining  students taking the lectures with boring faces. ‘‘Yes! I know the period is due. Thank you for the reminder .’’  Responded  the teacher glumly and headed for the rostrum to gather his belongings.                                                                                                              ------------------------------------...

Whenever your sujūd is short and your du'ā' is so short, it is a sign of weakness of īmān.  Sujūd is a road to ask for whatever you want. A man came to Al-Hasan Al-Basri and said, “ I heard you say that if you commit sins, then Allāh prevents you from things.  I do all the sins that you can think of and don't do many good deeds.  I have a beautiful wife and beautiful kids and a lot of money and land and am successful.  Allāh did not prevent me from anything.  How is it that you say that because of sins Allāh prevents you?”   He said, “ Do you pray qiyām'l-layl?  Do you enjoy your du'ā'?  Do you enjoy your ṣalāh?  That is enough prevention that He prevented you from communicating with Him.”   When Allāh wanted to speak to us, He revealed the Qur'an, and when we want to talk to Him, we raise our hands.  He cut you off because you are not worthy of it and your īmān is not strong enough. محبت کا جنوں باقي نہيں ہے مسلمانو...
