YA ALLAH!

The lover of Allah swt is he who forgets his own self, remains engaged in Allah's remembrance with due regard to all its requirements; sees Allah with the eyes of his heart, which is burnt by the heat of Allah's remembrance affects him like a cup of wine, he speaks the word of Allah as if All-Mighty Allah speaks through his mouth; if he moves, he does so under the command of Allah; he gets peace of mind only through the obedience of Allah; and when such a stage is reached, his eating, drinking, sleeping, awakening and, in short, all his actions are for the pleasure of Allah; he neither pays heed to the worldly customs, nor does he attach any importance to unfriendly criticism by people."

And the lifeless walls of the womb—once thought to be his only protection—would soon be replaced by the comfort of his family's arms. And yet, to the newborn child, it would seem he had lost everything.Many of us find ourselves like this child. There are times when we feel we have lost everything, or things look broken and nothing like how we wished they would be. At times we even feel as though we've been abandoned and nothing is working out the way we planned. But just like that newborn child, things are often not what they seem, and tawakkul (trusting and relying on Allah) is realizing that our Protector has a beautiful plan for us!!!

Tawakkul is having complete trust that Allah's plan is the best plan. Tawakkul is having full faith that Allah will take care of you—even when things look impossible. Tawakkul is standing in front of the Red Sea—as Prophet Musa pbuh did with an army behind you, and not even flinching, knowing that Allah will get you through. It is having full faith that when Allah swt takes away the umbilical cord, He will replace it with milk.

Life is very exacting for most people today. Twenty four hours a day is sometimes just not enough for some people who are busy physically and mentally in their daily activities. Any reference to religion is generally received unenthusiastically, for a busy person rarely has the time and the patience for it with all its ramifications and implications. A sober reflection on the opening ayats of Soorah 102 At-Takathur is enough to bring man to better appreciate the final reality of life: “The mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you, until you visit your graves !!!!!!!!!!

The acceptance of non-Islamic rule in place of Sharee’ah in Muslim lands is Shirk and an act of Kufr. Those in a position to change it must do so, while those unable to do so must speak out against the rule of Kufr and call for the implementation of Sharee’ah. If even this becomes impossible, un-Islamic government must be sincerely hated and despised for the pleasure of God and the upholding of Tawheed.

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said “A woman is married for four (reasons): her wealth, her nobility, her beauty and her piety. Choose the pious one and be successful” .No matter how beautiful, rich or well bred a woman might be, if she is not pious, she is inferior to a pious, ugly, poor woman from a dishonorable family.

Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands, announced his new discovery about the effect of reading the Qur'aan and repeating the word ALLAH both on patients and on normal persons. The psychologist explained how each letter in the word 'ALLAH' affects healing of psychological diseases. Those who read the Quran regularly protect themselves from psychological diseases.

ALLAHU AKBAR Allah is great Allah keeps me going day and night. Without Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength. 'Allah said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you.''Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior.

"Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, la ilaaha ill-Allaah; wa Allaahu akbar wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise),"

Shirk is more hidden than a black ant creeping on a black stone in the middle of a moonless night.”

I had spent some time in Mecca and was stricken with a number of sicknesses, and I couldn’t find any doctors or medication. So I used to treat myself with Surat al-Fatiha, and I would see the most amazing results. I used to prescribe this to anyone who complained of pain, and many of them would be cured quickly.

Endow your will with such power
That at every turn of fate it so be
That God Himself asks of His slave
'What is it that pleases thee?'

In man's crusade of life these weapons has he:
Conviction that his cause is just;
Resolution to strive till eternity;

"O traveller to the unknown , turn off towards my city Makkah; Murmur my name there and greet all my dear ones with scented salaams from an exile who longs for his Divine homeland!"

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands for you to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

Jis ki namaz achi - us ki zindagi achi
jis ki zindagi achi - us ki maut achi
jis ki maut achi - us ki kabar achi
jis ki kabar achi - us ki akhirat achi
jis ki akhirat achi - us ki jannat pakki
so dont miss "Namaz"

How are the Muslims of today?
Fajar is spent in sleep.
Zuhr in college or at job.
Asr in relaxing.
Maghrib busy doing stuff.
Ishaa watching TV..

Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way!!!!

WE SHOULD BEG ALLAH SINCERELY WITH TEARS IN OUR EYERS FROM THE BOTTOM OF HEARTS WHEN WE ARE ALONE - MAKE ME MORE THAN JUST A MUSLIM in NAME OR A MUSLIM WITH ISLAMIC an APPEARANCE MAKE ME A TRUE SUBMITTER TO YOU ALLAH!!!!

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch you words, they become actions. Watch you actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become characters. Watch you characters it becomes your destiny. ~ Trust in Allah(SWT)

When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. Your life's span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainty. Live for today:Since you are absorbed in the toils of today, leave tomorrow until it comes. Beware of becoming unduly attached to future prospects in this world.

I want 2 die in the way of ALLAH with My Forehead On the Ground, the Sunnah in my heart, Allah swt on my mind, Quran On My Tongue and Tears in my eyes. Ameen

"And whosoever has Taqwa of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things." (65:2-3).

Getting in touch with your spiritual self demands tranquillity and solitude!!!!

Make Today a Breeze Not a Battle!!!!

Be aware of every hour and how it passes, and only spend it in the best possible way; do not neglect yourself, but render it accustomed to the noblest and best of actions, and send to your grave that which will please you when you arrive to it.

There is always a little truth behind every JUST KIDDING... There is alwys a little knowledge behind every I DONT KNOW...There is always a little pain behind every IT'S OK...There is always a little emotion behind every I DONT CARE,..so remember what u see & what u hear is not what u always gEt...

World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it. ~ Peace Pilgrim

It is mentioned in a Hadîth that Rasûlullâh sallallâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said : “I have not left behind any test and tribulation on men more harmful than women.” In other words, of all the things that are harmful for men, women are the most harmful. This is because, out of his love for a woman, a man loses all his senses, so much so that he does not even take the commands and orders of Allah Ta’âlâ into consideration.

The Journey of Life is Travelled only once! So Make TAUBA For Past, SHUKAR For Preznt & DUA For The Future cz DUA is the Only Element that changez TAQDEER.......Everything is "Pre-Written!!"....But with Prayerz it can be "Re-Written!!"..So Live the Best and Leave the Rest to ALLAH....

We love those who hurt us.. hurt those who love us.. ignore the ones that want us... and want the ones that ignore us!

Fir`own once asked his architects...~ Build me a tower so that I can see Allah(SWT), as I do not see him on the earth or in the sky. As Allah (SWT) sent down the message to him and he(SWT) said... "You cannot find Me on the earth or in the sky; look for me in your heart."

Remember Allah and death; forget any good that you have done to another and any evil that was done to you by another.

"Between the eyes and the heart there is a connection which means that the one is affected by the other, and if one of them becomes good, the other will also become good, and if one becomes corrupt the other will become corrupt. If the heart becomes corrupt the gaze will become corrupt, and if the gaze become corrupt the heart will become corrupt, and similarly if one is sound the other will also be sound."

“If you’re in prayer, take care of your heart; if you’re eating, take care of your throat; if you’re in another man’s house, take care of your eyes; if you are among people, take care of your tongue. Remember two matters and forget two matters: Remember Allah and death; forget any good that you have done to another and any evil that was done to you by another.”

“All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds; and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere; and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry.” [said by Imam Shafi (rahimullah)]

A woman's heart should be lost in Allah, that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her

If Allah afflicted you with some sorrow or fellow human being caused great pain and grief read ayat 24  and 28 of suruh Raad .Inshallah the door of success of both world will open for you.

“When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allah alone, Allah, may He be glorified, will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him; He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him (dhikr) and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him!

Allaahumma la sahala illa ma ja’alta sahlan wa anta taj’al al-huzna idha shi'ta sahlan

Rab-bigh-fir war-ham wa Anta Khair-ur-Raahimeen.

Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyumu Birahmatika asta-ghee-thu

Allahumma Ajirna min-an-naar.

Allahumma innaka 'affuwan tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu'-anni

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-rahmat ullaahi wabarakatullah

JazakAllah Khair.

The Prophet of Allah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam !

After completing tashahhud in the final sitting position one turns one's face only to the right with salutation and then saying takbeer, performs two sajdahs, one after the other, peacefully. After the second sajdah, one has to repeat tashahhud, durood, etc and complete the prayer in usual way - sajda sahw!

In prayers it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart!

It is easy to be friends to ones friend but to befriend ones enemy is the quintessence of true religion the rest is mere business!

It has always been a mystery to me how men can be honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings!

I look only into the good of others not being faultless myself so why probe into their faults!

When I admire the the wonders of the sun setting or the beauty of the moon my soul expands in worship of its Creator!

There is no Madhaheb according to four IMAMS, there is only one Madhaheb ie,. only Islam no Hanafi, No Shafai, No Maliki or No Hambali. We have our imam as IMAM-E-QUINAAT(Imam of whole world) that is imam of islam Muhammad Rasoolallah PBUH. ONE ISLAM ONE LAST PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH THATS IT!

"Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah swt.
And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah swt and being true to Him.
And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him.
And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness."

The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives. ~

"If this world were worth a mosquito's wing before Allah swt, HE would not have given the disbeliever even a drink of water.YA Allah please forgive us Ameen!
To be good is challenging and the reward is Jannat, so we need to accept the challenge and win the reward ! Be good and Do good !

Coming together is a beginning,keeping together is progress,working together is success!

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open!

Once man is preoccupied with his material life, all dimensions of his existence are enchained, he loses aspiration!

Whoever seeks the Pleasure of the People at the Risk of Angering Allah, Allah will Abandon him to the Care of the People."

What can my enemies do to me? if they lock me up in prison I take it as an opportunity to do itikaf with Allah. If they Kill me they grant me shahadah and that is janatul firdaus and if the banish me to another land I take it as a new opportunity to do dawah to new people in a new land, what can my enemies do to me?- Ibn Taymiyya

"Friends on that day will be foes to one and another - except the Righteous Ones."

How blessed I m 2 b a Muslim!
I say a simple Salam to some,I’m rewarded.
I smile at someone, I’m rewarded
I pray in Masjid with Jamaat,I’m rewarded 27 times more than those who pray alone
I begin anything with Bismillah, that action of mine is rewarded.I think of doing a good deed,I’m rewarded.
I control my temper,I’m rewarded.
I hold the glass with my right hand while drinking,I’m rewarded Alhamdulillah!

motion, and inevitably, he will also neglect his eternal life and inward purification

A busy life makes prayers harder, but prayers make a hard and busy life easier, So lets keep praying n remember each other in our duas!

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open!

A quotation : "When missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed? our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land."

O Allah swt! Give my soul piety and my conscience purity. YOU are the Master of my soul and the Guardian of my conscience. Ameen

If you are looking for a major breakthrough in your life, you must overcome your limits!

“Truly in remembering Allah(SWT) do hearts find rest.”
Quran 13:28

Happy moments praise Allah swt.Difficult moments seek Allah swt.Quiet moments worship Allah swt.Painful moments trust Allah swt.Every moment thank Allah swt. At all the moments think of Allah swt!

If God asks that you bend, bend and do not complain. He is making you more flexible, and for this be thankful.


Give your best to the Challenges—
When your skills are challenged, you can become far more capable. When your beliefs are challenged they can become immensely more compelling and persuasive. When your intentions are challenged, it can make you more determined and committed. When your faith is challenged, it can grow even stronger. The downside of challenge is that it can be difficult to go through. The upside of challenge is that it's great to have been through. When you arrive at a challenge, take a moment to look at it from the other side. Imagine all that will be gained by working your way through it. The bigger and more imposing it appears when you first encounter it, the more value you'll have gained when the challenge is behind you. And that will set you up to conquer even bigger challenges, and to enjoy even more substantial rewards. Give your best to the challenges. And what you get will be even better. CHALLENGING THESE CHALLENGES WILL BE YOUR MARCH TOWARDS GOD.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.The next day, a  fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the  father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.'I want to repay  you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.''No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. 'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly 'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout  the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?Sir Winston Churchill. Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt..
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two ;
May the sun always shine on your window pane ;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain ;
May the hand of a friend always be near you ;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.

How to Dance in the Rain:
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.  He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I  would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are ?'He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.' True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have .I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did. 'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain'

Five principles of the heart Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Ghazâli says, ‘You should spend every effort in preserving your heart, taking care of it and repairing it as it is the mightiest and most dangerous and subtlest of your organs.’ In his Minhâj al-Abidîn, he says there are five principles when dealing with the heart.
(1) Allah is aware of everything that happens in it. Knowing that Allah knows what is in our hearts is the beginning of muraqabah, vigilance.
(2) Allah looks to your heart and not to your bodies .The Messenger, upon him be peace, said: “Surely Allah does not look to your bodies nor to your forms. Rather He looks to your hearts,” and he pointed to his chest. (Muslim) We spend time and energy in making sure we are presentable and become concerned about a speck of dirt on our clothes or outer forms because people see them, yet we do not take care of the place that Allah looks to.
(3) The heart is the king of the body and the other limbs follow it. The Messenger, upon him be peace, said:
“Surely in your body is a piece of flesh and if it is healthy the whole body is healthy and if it is spoiled the whole body is spoiled. It is the heart.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
(4) The heart is the treasure chest of all virtue. It is the seat of the intellect and the place of gnosis (ma’rifa), which is the cause of one’s eternal happiness in both worlds. It contains the inner sight (basîra) and intention (niyah) and various sciences (ulum) and wisdom (hikam).
(5) The heart is unique It is unique in five ways:
1. Man’s enemy, shaytân , targets it directly and is perched ready to attack it at any time.
2. It works harder than any other organ. It is the organ of thought, intellect and caprice.
3. Khawâtir, thoughts, come to it like incessant rain or arrows pouring down upon it without any respite. The other organs get rest - for example one may close one’s eyes or mouth.
4. Curing it is extremely difficult as it is unseen and one does not know it is sick until the blameworthy trait is already exposed. Therefore, it requires research into its dangers, close inspection of its states and exercise (riyâda).
5. Its dangers affect it very quickly. It is called the heart (qalb) because it is quick to turn (taqallab).
Oh Allah, make our hearts firm on YOUR religion and turn our faces towards You. Ameen

Funny How...

-Funny how long it takes to do Zikr for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
-Funny how long a couple of hours spent at Mosque are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
-Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
-Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a "Tarahvi" during Ramadhan is longer than the regular time.
-Funny how hard it is to read a Para in the Quran, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
-Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back row at mosque so that scramble out.
-Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a Mosque event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
-Funny how hard it is for people learn a simple Preaching well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
-Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Quran says.
-Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything.
-Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. FUNNY, ISN'T IT? Spread the Word and give thanks to Allah for He is Good &  Mercifull!

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ,not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just  consumed . It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive... A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Good Morning
This morning when I wakened,
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love."
And right away I thought of you,
And I said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from care
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store.
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more.

Life is 10 % what happens to me and 90 % how I react to it!

The Messenger of God, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased .When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer (names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, 'He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise '.Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.’ When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk. The Messenger of God, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'On the Day of Judgment, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'
Allah (swt) gave us endless favours and blessings that we can't even count. Thanks to them we live happily; without them we would have perished instantly. And even if we spend all our lives for praising Allah just for one single blessing, we wouldn't be able to thank Allah properly.
Our health is one of the important favours and one of the greatest blessings of Allah on us. This body of ours is a great and superb creature. There are many organs inside and outside of our body - billions of cells and tissues, extremely well-ordered systems and mechanisms, continuous and orderly functions and progresses, biological phenomena and activities that repeat themselves continually in perfect order, our mysterious and marvelous brain, tireless heart, fine nervous system, circulatory systems, physics laboratory lungs, chemical factory liver, kidneys that contain millions of filters, bone structure that is an engineering marvel, layers of assorted muscles that cover all these, skin, eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell, sweet speaking tongue, organs to produce new generations, endless mind, limitless and countless senses, wonderful system of reflection, discovery, inventions, arts.... How come all these go like clockwork and their harmony doesn't become depraved, nothing goes wrong; and how come we stay healthy for many years without having a breakdown? How come an extensiveness , vastness, deepness, abundance, intricacy, complexity, interdependence, partnerships and togetherness of this magnitude lasts for life in a perfect manner? Because of these difficult conditions, misfortune, breakdowns, and sickness should be ordinary happenings and expected to happen any moment. But it's not so! Health is a very amazing state, an extraordinary miracle! We personally have nothing at all; there is absolutely someone who is guarding and taking care of us. Every single moment we exist and live with the help of the Almighty and Absolutely-Wise Allah - every single moment we are repaired and re-created, until such time as He wishes.... But there is also death beside life , and sickness beside health because it is necessary and full of wisdom! Sickness is the messenger of death, and the reminder and denouncer of the Hereafter! What would have happened to the world if death never existed? Death is a discharge, a salvation; a new and different birth; the end of the longing and meeting again the Beloved.... Health is a blessing, sickness is an examination. It is necessary to praise Allah for the blessings, and to show endurance during examinations.
Many people don't know but sickness is a blessing according to Islam for the faithful servant, for a patient and well-behaved Muslim who doesn't flare up or rebel, and for those adept and graceful servants who know that sickness comes from Allah, and who don't oppose the destiny or complain. There are many rewards and recompenses for the sick, their sufferings are compensated with spiritual honour and gifts. Our Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.) said: The sick person's sleep is considered as worship and his moaning as litany of praise to Allah. He is rewarded as though he is performing his usual prayers when he was healthy although he is unable to do so now. His supplications are accepted, his sins are forgiven, all his mistakes and wrong-doings recorded in his book are deleted, and he is told `Very well, start your new life with an absolutely clean book!' Sickness wakes people up from heedlessness, guides them to give up their sins, makes them think about the Hereafter, leads them to pious foundations; makes them more thankful to Allah, and teaches them the necessity of taking better care of their health and making better use of their life - something they didn't realize before, teaches them to understand other sick and pained people better, to feel sorry for them and to help them; and rises their ranks and degrees higher in the Hereafter.
I wish you all good health, truth, happiness, and peace in religion, in this world and the Hereafter; quick recovery for my sick and pained brethren from Almighty Allah, and wish them to have brave endurance and bountiful rewards. May Allah bless my loyal, faithful, compassionate, self-sacrificing brethren in the medical profession who dedicated their lives to the ideal of seeking remedy for the pain of those in suffering, and give them high material and spiritual ranks and degrees, great earthly and spiritual rewards, and increase their numbers, and make them victorious and superior over the non-believers and the unjust.Ameen
If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help...
Once upon a time in a village in Indi , a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere! Welcome to WALL STREET.

"About 1 liter."

LESSONS ON LIFE
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Moral: Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come sometime or later.

Prostration
Your Body receives a huge amount of Electromagnetic waves daily!
You get these Electromagnetic waves through the Electrical Equipments that you use and the various equipments which you cannot leave! Also, through the electrical lights which cannot be switched off in certain cases for even an hour! You are a source which receives huge amounts of Electromagnetic waves! In other words, you are charged with electromagnetic waves without realizing it! You have headache! You feel uncomfortable at different places! Do not forget this when you feel some of these symptoms! What is the solution from all this??!! A non Muslim Scientist (From Europe) made a research from which he concluded that the best way for the body to remove the positive Electromagnetic charges which hurts the body is: By putting your forehead on the ground more than once, the ground will discharge the positive harmful Electromagnetic charges! This is similar to the grounding of the buildings where any positive electrical signals (Like thunders) would be discharged through the ground. So, put your forehead on the ground to discharge the positive electrical signals !What makes this research more amazing is that:
The best way is to put your forehead on the ground while you are positioned to the centre of the Earth! Since you will be able to discharge the Electromagnetic signals in a better and more efficient way! And it becomes more amazing that: The best is to put your forehead on the sand And you will be amazed when you know that Mecca is scientifically proven to be the centre of the Earth! And that Kaa’ba is the exact centre of the Earth! So, “Prostration” in your prayers is: The best way to discharge the harmful electromagnetic signals from your body! It is also the ideal way to be very close from the Almighty who created this universe in such a creative way!
Allah Almighty will always ask us to do things because they are helpful and useful for us! There are cases when we won’t know the reason for a certain act, but sooner or later, you might be able to find the reason! In any case, you should trust the Almighty Allah and know that whatever you do for HIM , is the best for you! We do not prostrate to discharge the electromagnetic waves, but to obey the Almighty Allah! We trust that in His commands, there is always a wisdom ! Our trust is because He is the Creator, He knows everything! However, since a scientific reason is available, it was essential to show it to the people so that they can see that whatever Muslims do, is good for them!

The great Muslim scholar Ibn al-Qayyim stated in his most excellent book, "The Prophetic Medicine" (contained in Zaad al-Ma'aad, 4/201, Mu'assisat ur-Risaalah):
He (the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) used to eat from the fruit of his land when it was in season and did not refrain from it. This too is from amongst the greatest means of preserving health. For Allah swt , the Sublime, in HIS wisdom, created for every land such (varieties) of fruit that provide benefit for its local inhabitants when it is in season. Thus, consuming it is from the causes of their health and well-being, and it makes unnecessary the use of many medicines. Rarely does one refrain from eating the fruit of his land . And the moisture that is contained in the fruit will be cooked by the heat of the season and earth, and by the heat of the stomach which will repel any harm it may have. This is so long as he does not eat it in excess, nor overload the [bodily] constitution with more than it can bear, nor corrupt other food by it by consuming it while that food is still undigested, nor corrupt the fruit by drinking water over it, or eating food immediately after it. For colic often results from that. Whoever eats from the fruit that is in season, in the desirable amount, in the desirable manner will find it a most beneficial medicine. From this great statement of this great Scholar, we can see that:
        Local fruit, in season is a means of great nourishment, strength, health and well-being.
        When consumed, it does away with the need for medicine and treatment, as it as a means to sound health.
        It should be eaten in moderate amounts.
        It should not be eaten whilst food is still being digested.
        Food should not be eaten immediately after it.
        And water should not be drunk over it.

SWEET POISON - A MUST READ In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain .By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick. She  just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did.  As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda! I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent. My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!  The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home. Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda... and literally dying a slow and miserable death. When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery. And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life. If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it!  This is a serious problem. It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.
TYPES OF MISWAAKS :It is permissible to take for a Miswaak all types of tree twigs provided these are not harmful or poisonous. It is forbidden to use a Miswaak from a poisonous tree. Miswaaks from the following trees are not permissible: (1) Pomegranate (2) Bamboo (3) Raihaan 4) Chambelie
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) FORBADE THE USE OF Raihaan as Miswaak because it causes the sickness, Juz-zaam .The following are the types of Miswaak are recommended:
(1) Peelo tree (2) Zaitoon or Olive tree (3) Bitam or (4) Any bitter tree (5) Walnut tree
"And, the best of Miswaaks is the Peelo, then the Olive"Use the Miswaak of the Olive tree. It is the Miswaak of a Mubarak (auspicious or gracious) tree. "O Allah, Purify my mouth: Enlighten my heart: Purify my body; And make my body unlawful to the Fire."
Do not undermine your worth by Comparing  yourself with others. It is because we are different. That each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what Other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things Closest to your heart .Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Do not let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past nor for the future .By living your life one day at a time, You live all the days of your life. Do not give up when you Still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the Moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that Binds us to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances That we learn how to be brave. Do not shut love out of your life by Saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive Love is to give love ;The fastest way to lose love Is to hold it too tightly; In addition, the best way to keep Love is to give it wings. Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams Is to be without hope; To be without hope Is to be without purpose. Do not run through life So fast that you forget Not only where you have been, But also where you are going. Life is not a race, But a journey to be savored Each step of the way. May Allah, The Almighty, bless you and your family with His choicest Blessings. Ameen

TODAY!
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.
We‘ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;
We write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes , but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes. That’s why I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love. Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life. Every day, every hour, and every minute is special. And you don’t know if it will be your last. If you’re too busy to take the time to send this message to someone you love, and you tell yourself you will send it “one of these days “. Just think…”One of these days “, you may not be here to send it!
Patience:
1. Patience in abstaining from forbidden (haram) things and actions,
2. Patience in carrying out obligatory deeds,
3. Patience in facing adversity which is beyond one’s control, such as illness, poverty, etc.
1. Patience in abstaining from disliked (makruh) things,
2. Patience in performing acts of worship which are liked and encouraged (mustahabb)
3. Patience in refraining from taking revenge.
A man asked Shiblee, “What type of patience is more difficult the man answered, “Patience in keeping away from Allah.” Shiblee screamed in such a way that he nearly died. Patience for the sake of Allah and patience by the help of Allah. It is impossible to have patience for the sake of Allah without patience by the help of Allah.If a person loves an attribute of Allah, then this will help him to reach Him. Allah is as-Sabur, patient, and there is none that is more patient and forbearing than Him. No contradiction between patience and complaining to Allah swt ”I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah” (Yusuf 12:86).  “O Allah, I complain to YOU of my weakness and helplessness.”

If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night!
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something!
It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won't go!
A hotel isn't like a home, but it's better than being a house guest!
He who tells a lie loses the freshness of his face!
Prayers and Healing
We the Physicians have now come to accept a fact known to our patients for centuries, that healing is from God, and we are just an instrument of the Healer. We give the same medication to two different patients with the same type of medical problem or perform similar operations on two patients otherwise at the same risk and one will survive and the other one doesn't. It is more than LUCK. As Socrates put it -" I dress the wound and God heals it. ".
Healing from Quran is of three types.
a. Legislative effect: This includes Faith (Iman) in God as not only Creator but the Sustainer and the Protector. This also includes medical benefits of obligatory prayers, fasting, charity and pilgrimage, details of which is beyond the scope of this article.
b. Health Guidelines: Health-promoting items from Quran and tradition of Prophet Mohammed include use of honey, olive, fruit, lean meat, avoiding excessive eating, and Prohibition of alcohol, pork, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity and sex during menstruation.
c. Direct healing effect of Quran: Recitation of Quran by the sick person or for the sick person (ruqya) has shown to have a direct healing effect on the sick person. This most likely uses medical benefits of Echo. Echo of sound is such a powerful force that it has been used to blast off mountains. Now the miniaturized version of Echo is used in medicine to break Kidney Stones (lithotripsy), gallstones, and even vegetations in the sub endothelial bacterial endocarditis (SBE).
Listening to the recitation of Holy Quran, in a study conducted by Dr. Ahmed E. Kadi and Associates, has been shown to lower blood pressure, heart rate, and to cause smooth muscle relaxation in Muslim Arabs, non-Arab Muslims and even in non-Muslims.
Use of Meditation (dhikr, Zikrallah) in Prayer and Healing Dhikr (Zikr meditation) are acts of remembrance and communications with God as ordained to us." Your Lord says:" Call on Me and I will answer your call ". " Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of God, for in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest "He was asked which people are most virtuous and most highly esteemed by God on the Day of Judgement. The messenger of God replied "Those who remember God often." "O  you who believe, seek help with patience and prayers, as God is with those who patiently persevere". Prayers work for us even while we are sleeping.
One time I visited a critically ill patient who had an adrenal tumor (pheochromocytoma) and was in hypotensive shock. I asked her what could I do for her and she, out of desperation (doctors had told her she wouldn't make it) asked me to pray. So I placed my hand over the site of the tumor and made the Prophetic Prayer and left. The next day when I came, I was surprised to see her sitting up in bed smiling. She told me that evening the radiologist x-rayed her again and found no trace of the tumor. He could not explain it but thought the arteriogram may have "infarcted the tumor."
Ask Him. He Listens: DU`A!
Leave the world behind you FIVE TIMES A DAY!
Seek help through SABR!
Do Zikr, Allah, Allah!
Relying on Allah: Tawakkul!
Say it Loud: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar: Takbirat & Adhan!
Begin the Day on a Positive Note!
Make the Quran your Partner!
Be thankful to Allah "If you are grateful, I will give you more".
Sunita Williams, an Indian origin astronaut and scientist at NASA in USA returned to the earth after her 197 days stay on satellite space station along with her other four crew members Sunita Williams accepted 'ISLAM' Masha Allah, because when they were on the satellite space station, they saw towards EARTH, the entire EARTH looked dark, but 2 places on the EARTH looked like SPARKS (Roshni). They were shocked to see that and saw them with the help of telescope and came to know that those two places were ' MECCA ' and 'MADINA' Masha Allah.
It should be noted that your life will follow your train of thought. If your thoughts are of things that will bring you benefit in your spiritual or worldly affairs, then your life will be good and happy. Otherwise it will be the opposite.
Ten Things We Waste
1.  Knowledge:  Wasted when not taking action with it.
2.  Actions:  Wasted when we do anything without sincerity.  Intentions count.
3.  Wealth:  Wasted when used on things that will not bring us âjr (reward). We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things that have no benefit in this life or in âkhirah (the Hereafter).
4.  Hearts:  Wasted when empty from the love of Allah, and the longing for Him/Her, and devoid of peace and contentment.
5.  Bodies:  Wasted when we don't use them in ibâdah (worship) and service of Allah in serving humankind.
6.  Love:  Wasted when our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards something/someone else.
7.  Time:  Wasted when not used properly, by not doing what is righteous.
8.  Intellect:  Wasted on things that are detrimental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.
9.  Service: Wasted when in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah.
10. Dhikr:  Wasted when it does not affect our hearts.
Know that victory comes with patience, relief with distress and ease with hardship! And give glad tidings to the patient. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say, 'Truly, to Allaah we belong and, truly, to Him we shall return. So verily, with the hardship there is relief. Verily, with the hardship, there is relief!

These praiseworthy people are called strangers since they are a small minority among mankind. Thus, Muslims are strangers among mankind; the true believers are strangers among Muslims; and the scholars are strangers among the true believers. And the followers of the Sunnah, those that clear themselves from all peoples of innovation, are likewise strangers. "Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings to the strangers." Many times in many situations the people that follow the religion of Allah feel a sense of not belonging, of being out of place, of not fitting in, and, in other words, of being strange. This feeling could occur in a gathering of non-Muslims, but, unfortunately, this feeling sometimes also occurs when one is with his fellow Muslims. A person sees his brothers and sisters doing acts that are contrary to Islam, or taking part in innovations that sometimes even border on kufr (apostasy), yet he feels that he does not have enough power or courage to stop them in these acts. Some brothers and sisters, especially if they do not have enough taqwa or Islamic knowledge, sometimes buckle under the pressure of their peers and join in these acts, knowing that this is not what Allah wants them to do. However, feeling helpless, since it seems that they are alone in their ideas and without any support to help them do what is right, they succumb to such pressures. These brothers and sisters, may Allah have mercy on them, should take consolation in the verses of the Qur’an and the many statements of the Prophet (peace be upon him) describing this very situation of strangeness that they feel.
It's been said that Allah first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. HE made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... Allah left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
Allah's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?  It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

The paradox of our time in history is that:
We have taller buildings but shorter tempers!
Wider Free ways , but narrower viewpoints!
We spend more, but have less!
We buy more, but enjoy less!
We have bigger houses and smaller families!
More conveniences, but less time!
We have more degrees but less sense!
More knowledge, but less judgment!
More experts, yet more problems!
More medicine, but less wellness!
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom!
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values!
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often!
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life!
We've added years to life not life to years!
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor!
We conquered outer space but not inner space!
We've done larger things, but not better things!
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul!
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice!
We write more, but learn less!
We plan more, but accomplish less!
We've learned to rush, but not to wait!
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less!
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion!
Big men and small character!
Steep profits and shallow relationships!
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce!
Fancier houses, but broken homes!
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill!
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom!
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...!!!!!
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever!
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side!
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent!
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you!
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again!
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind!
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

A Scholar once asked his student: You have accompanied me for a long period of time, so what have you learnt? He replied : "Eight things"
The first: I looked at the creation and found that every person has something that is beloved to him, but when that person reaches his grave, his beloved would be separated from him. So I made the most beloved thing to me, my righteous deeds, so that they may be with me in my grave.
The second: I looked at the saying of Allah swt the Elevated: But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts. Verily, Paradise will be his abode So I strove against myself, repelling desires and lusts from it until it settled upon obedience to Allah swt.
The Third: I saw that whoever possessed something valuable would keep it in a safe and secure place, I then looked at the saying of Allah the Glorified: Whatever is with you will come to an end, and whatever is with Allah will remain. So whenever something of value came into my possession, I directed it to Him, so that it may remain for me with Him.
The Fourth: I saw that people return to wealth, lineage and nobility, and they are all worthless, so I looked at the saying of Allah the Glorified: The most honoured of you in the sight of Allah swt is the most righteous of you So I worked on attaining Taqwaa or righteousness so that I may be honorable with Allah swt .
The Fifth: I saw that people envy each other, so I looked at the saying of the Elevated: It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this World So I left envy and jealousy.
The Sixth: I saw them taking each other as enemies, so I looked at the saying of the Glorified: Surely, Shaytaan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy So I left their enmity and took Satan as my only enemy.
The Seventh: I saw that they humiliate themselves in pursuing provision, so I looked at the saying of Allah swt the Glorified: And no moving (living) creature is there on earth except that its provision is due from Allah. So I concentrated on what was due to Him from me, and left what was due to me to Him.
The Eighth: I saw them dependent upon their trades, professions and health, so I depended upon Allah the Glorified. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh swt , then HE will suffice him !
YA ALLAH PLEASE LET US LIVE AND DIE WITH FAITH IN YOU ONLY – BLESS US WITH SHAHADAT AND ALL THE SEEN AND UNSEEN TREASURES ,COMFORTS AND LUXURIES OF BOTH WORLDS AMEEN ! SUM AMEEN!


 Bismillaah Ar-Rahmaan Ar-Raheem
Sniffing and blowing the nose thrice when one wakes up, as the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam instructed, saying: “When you wake up, sniff and blow your nose thrice because Satan spends the night in your nasopharynx.” When entering the bathroom, as the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam taught us to supplicate: “O Allah! I take refuge in You from Al-Khubth and Al-Khabaa’ith (i.e., the evil of male and female devils).”
“Recite the Chapter of Al-Baqarah in your houses, because Satan does not enter a house in which it is read.”
“When the son of Adam recites a verse at which he should prostrate, Satan cries and exclaims: ‘Woe to the son of Adam! He was commanded to prostrate so he did, and he will be rewarded with Paradise, while I was ordered to prostrate and I disobeyed, hence I will be put in Hell’.”
“Take refuge with Allah swt from Satan and spit three times on your left side.”
Moving the index finger repeatedly during Tashahhud, for it is heavier on Satan than a steel hammer.
Satan eats from any food upon which the name of Allah swt has not been mentioned but when you mention His name, Satan informs his followers that they have no food or shelter in your house. So, otherwise, you guarantee them accommodation and provisions in your home.
If you see a disturbing dream, spit three times (on your left) and seek refuge in Allah swt from Satan and do not inform anyone about it, as the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam counseled.
 Reciting the Chapters Al-Falaq and An-Naas completely, that is recommended for a Muslim to read after each prayer thrice and before he goes to bed thrice as well, along with the great Chapter Al-Ikhlaas, whose reward is equivalent to that of reading the entire Qur’aan when read three times. Reciting these chapters forms a protective fortress for the believer against Satan, the evil eye and magic, yet, some people go to sleep without mentioning Allah swt or reading the Qur’aan.
"The virtue of true love is not finding the perfect person, but loving the imperfect person perfectly"
"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the
heavens and say there is no God."
"Congratulations to those who leave the world before it deserts them; to those who build their graves before they enter them; and to those who please their Lord before they meet Him."
My Creator did not give me this ability to feel your happiness but gave it me to realize your sorrows. Thanks to you my Lord.
“When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.”
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…  And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY   A  married man should forget his mistakes.  There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
The highest level is that the person thanks Allah swt for the affliction which has struck him in that he knows that this affliction is an expiation for his sins and perhaps a cause for an increase in his good deeds.
Ramadan is a training period for us to become better Muslims. We remember God more and become more aware that Allah swt  is there seeing all our actions and if we do sin he will punish us one day. It is a bit like your in a room that’s  quite and your trained to walk on a straight line with very few distractions for a whole month and then the doors are open and the traffic starts to come,. There’s all sorts of distractions popping in front of you , from behind you from the left and the right and you have to remain focused on HIM!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.  Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Do your best; let God do the rest.
Today  I  pray your troubles be less, May your blessings be more,  and May  nothing but happiness come through your  door!! Ameen!
'The Secret is this:  I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs.  When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do.  He has never let me down.  Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy.'
The day, O Muslim, when following the Sunnah of the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) and the way of the Sahaabah  pbuth becomes more important to you than the way of your Imaam, your Shaikh, your parents, or culture, THAT'S THE DAY YOU WILL SUBMIT. That is supreme dedication.
It was narrated that Shaqeeq [ibn Ibraheem] al Balkhee said to Haatim [al Assam- his student]:  You have accompanied me for a long period of time, so what have you learnt?  Haatim replied:  Eight things:
The first: I looked at the creation and found that every person has something that is beloved to him, but when that person reaches his grave, his beloved would be separated from him. So I made the most beloved thing to me my righteous deeds, so that they may be with me in my grave.
The second: I looked at the saying of Allah swt the Elevated: "… and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts. " [An Naazi’aat: 40]  So I strove against m self, repelling desires and lusts from it until it settled upon obedience to Allah swt.
The Third: I saw that whoever possessed something valuable would keep it in a safe and secure place, I then looked at the saying of Allah swt the Glorified:  "Whatever is with you will come to an end, and whatever is with Allah swt will remain." [An Nahl: 96]  So whenever something of value came into my possession, I directed it to Him, so that it may remain for me with Him.
The Fourth: I saw that people return to wealth, lineage and nobility, and they are all worthless, so I looked at the saying of Allaah the Glorified:  "Indeed the most honourable of you with Allah swt are those who have Taqwaa " [Al Hujuraat: 13]  So I worked on attaining Taqwaa so that I may be honorable with Allah swt.
The Fifth: I saw that people envy each other, so I looked at the saying of the Elevated:  "It is We Who portion out their livelihood between  them " [Az Zukhruf: 32]  So I forsook envy and jealousy.
The Sixth: I saw them taking each other as enemies, so I looked at the saying of the Glorified: "Surely, Shaytaan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy " [Faatir: 6] So I left their enmity and took Shaytaan as my only enemy.
The Seventh: I saw that they humiliate themselves in pursuing provision, so I looked at the saying of Allah swt the Glorified: "And no moving (living) creature is there on earth except that its provision is due from Allah swt. " [Hood: 6]  So I concentrated on what was due to Him from me, and left what was due to me to Him.
The Eighth: I saw them dependent upon their trades, professions and health, so I depended upon Allah swt the Glorified.
"In the magnificent night of Friday (i.e. the night between Thursday and Friday) and the luminous day of Friday recite salawat in my favour abundantly, because your recited salawat is presented to me (by the Angels)."
‘ Verily Allah has certain angels wandering all over the earth. They convey to me the Salaat of my Ummat.’
One who reads the Qur'an and then supplicates, thousand angels say Amin! (Darimi).
Pray with humility, fearfulness, hope, softness and insistence. Pray for your person, but indeed pray for everything, particularly for the important collective affairs of the Ummah, for its dignity and honour, for the betterment of its rulers, for its safety from hostile forces, for co-operation and unity among Muslims on matters of goodness and taqwa, for their standing by the Truth.
The Prophet also said: "The best of you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it." [Al-Bukhaari]
The recitation is to be done with contemplation and understanding of it. Sincerity to Allah swt is a means of complying with and acting upon the Quran, and its recitation contains a great reward
The greatest defeat is psychological breakdown and weakness of resolution. As for the defeat in the field of physical war, that is the law of human nature. It comes in turns. The ultimate decision on this belongs to Allâh swt alone, though the good ending is usually for the pious.
Brethren in faith! The companions of Allâh swt's Messenger have made great sacrifices and have made excellent and noble examples of steadfastness upon the truth. Their unique actions stunned human intelligence, and evil planning of the enemy had never swayed them from conveying the message of their Lord. They believed in the message, loved it and made covenant with Allâh swt upon it.
Our Ummah is the nation that produced lofty figures like Khâlid Ibn Al-Walîd, Al-Muthannâ, Ibn Abî Waqqâs and later, Salâhuddîn. The nation of Islâm is a fertile and procreating nation. Whenever a hero is lost, he is replaced by heroes who raise the banners of the truth till eternity.
Dear brethren! In the light of events that we witness and those that we hear, it is clear to us that truth eventually defeats falsehood; and that huge military might is, in the long run, brought to naught in the face of weaker opponents. It is faith that eventually defeats material power in spite of its multitude.
When the time of death of great men comes, they die like other people and their memory is buried with them. It might be that, great men die honourably  so that their death can stir up feelings of the Muslims, impress in their hearts meanings of high-mindedness and remind them of the most important issues. Every drop of martyr's blood breeds a lofty mind that neither surrenders nor accepts humiliation. Every drop of a martyr's blood makes their life an everlasting lesson in sacrifice.
Anyone who thinks he or she knows better than Allah is way off the beam, deluded, and committing the sin of shirk (dividing the Godhead by imagining that any other thing or person can over-rule the supremacy and ultimate wisdom of Allah).
Husbands, wives, parents, children of our own - all will claim our time and our love, and if we wish to find happiness (which Allah revealed Islam for), then we must love and respect them in return, and see to their needs. We must strike a balance. We must also work out when the loved one's need is truly genuine, or whether they are really only just tempting us.
On the other hand it is always sheer joy to be in the company of a genuinely saintly Muslim person - they radiate such gentleness and serenity that their beautiful and humble manner encourages you to strive to be like them, even if you cannot approach within a hundred miles of their wonderful conduct. We have to draw close to these people as much as we can.
Perhaps the real interpretation of the sin of Shaytan was that of so many of us - he thought he knew better than Allah. Allah asked him to bow down to the humans, and he would not do so. Why? One theological answer is that he refused because in his devotion to Allah he would bow down to no-one BUT Allah. He would not do what Allah asked him to do, because he did not know why Allah had asked that, any more than we do, and he thought he knew better

NATURAL HEALER
How Dr Wu rid himself of cancer with a vegetarian diet At the age of 30, Chinese doctor Tom Wu was diagnosed with advanced stages of lung cancer, and was told he had only a few months to live. However, Dr Wu, who recently spoke with My life, has already reached 70 years old, and to our surprise, he still looks like a young and healthy man in his 50s. Not only has he survived, but the doctor has maintained a healthy life. The cancer is all gone, and he said he's never caught a cold or other illness for 40 years. He has stopped going for blood tests. "My body and feelings tell me I'm well, that I'm truly in good health," says Dr Wu. His secret lies in the power of natural healing. Dr Wu always says that no wonder drug can cure diseases. But our own internal healing power, our immune system, can. And what can strengthen our immune system are simple foods from Mother Nature, and a healthy lifestyle. In his view, diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease can be overcome by changing the diet. Dr Wu says people get sick because they eat the wrong foods. Fried food, for example, causes blockage in the arteries, bad circulation, cholesterol, and heart disease. "Instead of taking a cholesterol lowering drug, I would urge them to stop eating greasy food. My suggestion is to eat clean food, which is high in phytochemicals ". Phytochemicals are natural cleansing agents that will help rid plaque from your arteries. They come from natural foods such as vegetables, fruits with their seeds, and common garden herbs The turning point arrived when he was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 30. Modern medicine gave him no hope; it was too late to remove the damaged parts of the lung. The cancer had already spread to other organs, and the doctor told him he had only a few months left. In his despair, Dr Wu picked up the Bible and prayed to God. Then the Bible fell to the floor, and he read the page it opened to carefully. The chapter talked about the days God created the Earth and everything needed for human beings. Then he created Adam and Eve, and told both of them that plants, vegetables and seeded fruits growing on Earth have been provided for them to eat. "I thought about what I had eaten in the past - meat, fish, fried and grilled food, sweet cake, but God simply wanted us to eat vegetables and sour fruits. I was confused and doubted whether I would become weak if I ate too many vegetables and less meat," says Dr Wu. Yet he decided to follow the Bible's guidance. He ate a lot of vegetables and fruits, drank clean water, and completely adjusted his lifestyle - his sleeping, breathing and exercise habits. Nine months later, he went for a check-up, and surprisingly no cancer cells were detected. He advised people in his family and in the neighborhood about his discovery, and studied natural medicine until he received a doctorate degree in naturopathy and nutrition from the US. Dr Wu has been a frequent speaker at worldwide forums, spreading his knowledge on natural cures and the use of organic food. He advises people to use the most simple foods in the most natural way in order to fight illnesses and maintain good health. The human body has the power to heal itself. The immune system has a self-defence mechanism to block and destroy bacteria or viruses that invade our bodies, while the self-healing mechanism will get us back on the road to recovery. When you have a cold and take medicine, the medication may kill the virus but your Immune  system will not fully function, and its efficiency will decrease. As a result, your body will be more vulnerable to germs.
1. Have at least three bowel movements a day. Other health experts may advise one bowel movement a day, but Dr Wu says that's not enough. You need three to four bowel movements a  day . Your liver will not be overburdened and it also helps reduce cholesterol in your body.
2. Drink at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable smoothies each day .This is a way to ingest enough phytochemicals to strengthen the body's
cells and immune system. Use not only the flesh, but also the skin and seeds of fruits and vegetables to make smoothies, as they are rich in phytochemicals. Most of the fruit seeds have small amounts of cyanide which kill bacteria and viruses without damaging the body.  It's best to choose sour fruits like green or red apples, grapes, pineapples, kiwi and lime.
3. Sunbathe 30 minutes daily. We often hear that the Sun's UV rays will damage our skin, and many people apply sunblock before going out. But Dr Wu says the opposite. He says the UV rays will help convert cholesterol underneath the skin into vitamin A which helps moisten the skin and prevent skin cancer, and also vitamin D that helps prevent colds, osteoporosis, and certain kinds of cancer. "Therefore, use the Sun. Expose yourself to sunlight about one-half hour a day, at noon or another appropriate time based on your local climate. The Sun will make you healthier," says Dr Wu.
4. Exercise 30 minutes a day. Don't exercise for more than 30 minutes. If you go beyond that, your body will be overworked. "If you do it more than half an hour, that will become labour, not exercise. Your heart and your body will be working too hard," he says.
5. Shower with hot, then cold water .Try an alternating cold and hot water shower: Three minutes of hot water followed by 30 seconds of cold water, then repeat twice more. This process will bring a rush of blood and energy to your body. It helps increase your immune system, blood circulation, and metabolism.
6. Drink a lot of water, in the correct way. How much water you need to drink each day depends on your specific situation. If your office is air-conditioned, drinking six glasses of water a day is enough. If your work involves lots of walking, you have to drink 8-10 glasses a day. If you work under the hot sun, then 10-12 glasses of water are required. The way you drink is also important. The correct way is to sip it little by little, to give your body cells time to absorb the water. If you drink the whole glass down at once, your cells can't absorb it all, and the water will be excreted as urine.
7. Eat according to your blood type. Your blood type determines what you should eat. Eating the wrong foods will make you sick.
8. Eat according to your biological clock. Every human being has a biological clock that tells us when to eat, sleep, and wake up. If you don't follow your biological clock, the organs will lose their balance. Toxins and wastes won't be excreted from your body, and soon you'll get sick. According to Dr Wu, the biological clock is divided into three phases. From 4am to noon is the time for bowel movements, so in the morning you should eat foods with lots of fibre. Fruit and vegetable smoothies are recommended. From noon to 8pm, your body will absorb food so lunch is the most important meal. A vegetable salad with grains is recommended. Fish or boiled eggs can be added to your lunch. Avoid meat at dinner as the amino acids in the meat will disturb your sleep. Try to finish dinner by 6pm.From 8pm to 4am, the nutrients and energy from food will be distributed throughout your body organs. The golden time for your sleep is between10pm and 2am,as your immune and self-healing system will function at its best.

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.  He held it up for all to see & asked the students "How much do you think this glass weighs?" '50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms'  ...the students  answered.."I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?" 'Nothing' …..the students said. 'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked. 'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student "You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?" "Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!" - ventured another student & all the students laughed "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the professor.  'No'…. Was the  answer. "Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?" The students were puzzled. "What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.  "Put the glass down!" said one of the students "Exactly!" said the professor.  Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.  Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.  It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life - But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep.   That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!   So, when you leave office today 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

 There follows a list of things that can be done in one minute, by the permission of Allah swt:
 1. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Some scholars said that the reward for reading al-Faatihah is more than 600 hasanahs, so if you read it 3 times you will, by the permission of Allaah, gain more than 1800 hasanahs – all of that in one minute.
2. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Ikhlaas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan. If you read it 20 times it is equivalent to reading the Qur’aan 7 times. If you read it 20 times in one minute each day, you will have read it 600 times in one month, and 7200 times in one year, which will be equal in reward to reading the Qur’aan 2400 times.
3. You can read one page of the Book of Allaah in one minute.
4. You can memorize a short aayah of the Book of Allaah in one minute.
5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times. The reward for saying this is like freeing 8 slaves for the sake of Allaah from among the sons of Ismaa’eel.
6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah) 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea.
7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When I say ‘Subhaan Allaah, wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah, and Allaah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated by Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to Allaah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.
9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (there is no strength and no power except with Allaah) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things.
10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word, the word that stands firm. If these are the last words of a person, he will enter Paradise, and there are other reports which indicate how great these words are.
11. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdih, ‘adada khalqihi, wa ridaa nafsihi, wazinata ‘arshihi, wa midaada kalimaatihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah, as much as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne and as much as the ink of His words) more than 15 times. This words bring many more times the reward for other forms of tasbeeh and dhikr, as was reported in saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
12. In one minute you can seek the forgiveness of Allaah more than 100 times by saying “Astaghfir-Allaah (I seek the forgiveness of Allah swt). The virtues of seeking forgiveness are no secret, for it is the means of attaining forgiveness and entering Paradise, and it is the means of being granted a good life, increasing one’s strength, warding off disasters, making things easier, bringing rain and increasing one’s wealth and children.
 13. You can say a few brief and concise words in one minute, and Allah swt may bring about some good through them that you could never imagine.
14. In one minute you can send blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 50 times by saying Sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May Allaah bless him and grant him peace). In return Allaah will send blessings upon you 500 hundred times because one blessing brings ten like it.
15. In one minute you can motivate your heart to give thanks to Allaah, to love Him, to fear Him, to put hope in Him, to long for Him, and thus travel through the stages of ‘uboodiyyah (total enslavement to Allaah). You could do this when you are lying on your bed or walking in the street.
16. In one minute you can read more than two pages of a useful book that is easy to understand.
17. In one minute you can uphold the ties of kinship by calling a relative on the phone.
18. You can raise your hands and recite any du’aa’ you wish from the books of du’aa’, in one minute.
19. You can say salaams to and shake hands with a number of people in one minute.
20. You can forbid an evil action in one minute.
21. You can enjoin something good in one minute.
22. You can offer sincere advice to a brother in one minute.
23. You can console someone who is depressed in one minute.
24. You can remove something harmful from the road in one minute.
25. Making the most of one minute motivates you to make the most of other periods that would otherwise be wasted.

Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
When people go to sleep, I let my tears flow, and I recite a verse of the most eloquent poetry .Is it not a waste that nights go by and I do not increase in knowledge,yet this time is counted as part of my life?

Finally, the more sincere you are towards Allaah and the more aware you are of Him, the greater will be your reward and the more your hasanaat will increase.

Note that most of these actions will not cost you anything; they do not require tahaarah (purity) and they will not tire you out or take much effort. On the contrary, you can do them whilst you are walking, or in your car, or lying down, or standing, or sitting, or waiting for somebody.
 

These actions are also among the greatest means of attaining happiness, expanding the chest (i.e., bringing relief and joy) and removing stress and anxiety. May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad pbuh!

Aey khaasa khasaan-e-Rasl waqt-e-dua hai, Ummat pe teri aa ke ajab waqt para hai, woh dee'n jo baari shaan se nikla tha watan se, pardes mein aaj woh ghareeb-ul-ghurba hai !!!

It takes years to live but seconds to DIE!

"Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah"

“Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.”

A true friend buys you lunch... A BEST FRIEND eats yours ;)

Heart is like a crystal preserve it,
Love is like a perfume spread it,
feelings are like flood flow it,

When you put your hope for love, praise, success, happiness, and recognition in the people, you will walk away disappointed with a broken heart. It is only when you put this hope in Allaah swt will your heart and soul find peace, relief, and pleasure.


Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god except Allaah, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great , Allaah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allaah).

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

Friendship is like umbrella come lets share it

There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, cautions lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs... But if u have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called Iman, and a Driver called Allah swt, you will make it to a place called sucess inshallah.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door,that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

 My brother, do not look back * Your path has been covered in blood And do not look look here or there *except to the sky above!
 

Life is to short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who dont. And believe that everything happens for a reason.... If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it would be easy... they just promised it would be worth it.
 

Silence is the best answer for all Questions.. Smile is the best reaction in all situations.. Unfortunately, both never help in VIVA! :

We as Muslims Should Adjust Our Lives According To Islam And Not Adjust Islam According To Our Lives . .


When you follow what you love in life, challenges can be tough because the stakes are high. You set your whole heart on reaching your goal and you want, so badly, to succeed! It's not always easy. But, doing what you love means that, each morning, you awaken with Passion and excitement at your core. It means you're finding hidden strengths you didn't know you possessed. And, you're equipped to get over obstacles and disappointments with grace. Most of all, it means no regrets. No matter what, you're living an exciting life, doing what you were born to do!!!

When the big positive things are compelling enough, you'll hardly notice the little negative things. When your focus is on accomplishing what is truly meaningful and significant, then the everyday distractions and annoyances become quite insignificant by comparison.

In every moment, your focus is on one thing or another. When you can stay focused on the good and positive things that mean the most to you, the little annoyances have no way to bring you down.

Why waste your time and energy worrying and fretting about things that really don't matter that much? Instead, direct your focus toward creating value for yourself, for those around you and for the world in which you live.

Sure, you'll need to take care of the little annoying problems and distractions as they come along. And that will go much more smoothly, without anger, resentment, worry or frustration, when your primary focus is on the big picture.

Stop letting all the little things bring you down. Focus instead on the best you can imagine, and let that positive vision pull you forward.

Your job today is to change the world, and to do it in your own special way. Your job today is to move the world closer to the best it can be by pushing yourself toward the best you can be.

The world will be different at the end of the day because of the way you have lived. The world will change during this day because of the thoughts you have focused upon and the actions you have taken.

There is no one else who can do your job for you. There is no one else who can give to life the unique value that you're able to give.  It is an awesome responsibility and a magnificent opportunity. For the more you give of yourself, the more life will resemble the best vision you have for it.  That is your job today, To give the best of what you have and to truly Make life better for the effort. Do that job well, and the rewards will be rich indeed.

It is your attitude at the beginning of a task more than anything else that will determine your success or failure.
It is your attitude towards life that will determine life's attitude towards you. Despite many people's belief to the contrary, life pays no favorites.
You control your attitude. If you are negative it is because you have decided to be negative and not because of other people or circumstances.
Act as if you have a good attitude. Remember actions trigger feelings just as feelings trigger actions.
Before a person can achieve the kind of results he wants, he must first become that person. He must then think, walk, talk, act and conduct himself in all of his affairs, as would the person he wishes to become.
Treat everybody as the most important person in the world.
Attitudes are based on assumptions. In order to change attitudes one must first change one's assumptions.
Develop the attitude that there are more reasons why you should succeed than reasons why you should fail.
When you are faced with a problem, adopt the attitude that you can and will solve it.
We become what we think about. Control your thoughts and you will control your life.
Radiate the attitude of confidence, of wellbeing, of a person who knows where he is going. You will then find good things happening to you right away.
In order to develop a good attitude, take charge first thing in the morning. Do you say, " Assalamo Alykum " or other morning greetings. Read these twelve points every day for the next thirty days and see how your life changes.

ATTITUDES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS!
Being An Example
The story is told of Benjamin Franklin wanting to install street lightening in Philadelphia. He knew the city fathers wouldn't pay the price for the installation, so he hung a beautiful lantern on a bracket in front of his home to give light.
When people would pass his house, after stumbling in the dark in other areas, they would rejoice in Franklin's well-lit area. It was not long before his neighbors did just as he did and hung lanterns in front of their homes. Before long, the whole city began to see the value of lighting the streets. What Ben Franklin achieved was not by arguments, but by example. One example is worth a thousand arguments. No wonder Allah's Word tells us to be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts ALLAH swt KNOWS how hard you have tried!
When you have cried so long and your heart is in anguish ALLAH swt HAS COUNTED YOUR TEARS!
If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by  swt IS WAITING WITH YOU!
When you are lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call ALLAH swt IS BY YOUR SIDE!
When you think you have tried everything and don't know where to turn ALLAH swt HAS A SOLUTION!
When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated ALLAH swt HAS THE ANSWER!
If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope ALLAH swt HAS WHISPERED TO YOU!
When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for ALLAH swt HAS BLESSED YOU!
When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe ALLAH swt HAS SMILED UPON YOU!
When you have a purpose to fulfil and a dream to follow ALLAH swt HAS OPENED YOUR EYES AND CALLED YOU BY NAME!
REMEMBER THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE OR WHATEVER YOU ARE FACING,  ALLAH KNOWS, ALLAH KNOWS, ALLAH KNOWS...!!!!!

"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground - it just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of Allah. You never know when Allah is sending His mercy.
 "My Lord! Build for me a house with You in Jannah"Ameen
Don't blame anyone, never complain of anyone or anything because basically you have made of your life what you wanted .Accept the difficulties of edifying yourself and the worth of starting to correct your character. The triumph of the true man arises from the ashes of his mistakes. Never complain of your loneliness or your luck. Face it with courage and accept it. Somehow, they are the result of your acts and
It shows that you'll always win. Don't feel frustrated of your own failures , neither unload them to someone else. Accept yourself now or you'll go on justifying yourself like a child. Remember that any time is good to start and that no time is so good to give up. Don't forget that the cause of your present is your past, as the cause of your future will be your present. Learn from the brave, from the strong,
From who doesn't accept situations From who will live in spite of everything. Think less of your problems and more of your work.
Learn to arise from your pain, And to be greater than the greatest of your obstacles. Look at the mirror of yourself and you'll be free and strong and you'll stop being a puppet of circumstances. For you yourself are your destiny. Wake up and stare at the Sun in the mornings and breathe the Sun of dawn. You're part of the strength of your life now, Rise up, fight, walk, be sure and you'll win in life. Don't ever think of 'fate' For fate is the excuse of failuries !Best of Luck

When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. Your life's span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. With this attitude, you will not be caught between an obsession over the past, with all its anxieties, and the hopes of the future, with all its uncertainty. Live for today: Since you ire absorbed in the toils of today, leave tomorrow until it comes. Beware of becoming unduly attached to future prospects in this world.

I want 2 die in the way of ALLAH swt with My Forehead On The ground, The Sunnah in my heart, Allah swt on my mind, Quran On My Tongue and Tears in my eyes. Ameen

"And whosoever has Taqwa of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things." (65:2-3).

Getting in touch with your spiritual self  demands  tranquillity and solitude
Oh ALLAH, I have no money, but I have You. I am rich.
Oh ALLAH, I have no freedom, but I believe in You. I am free.
Oh ALLAH, I have no patience, but I read Your Quran. I am calm.
Oh ALLAH, I get no respect, but You listen to my dua. I am proud.
Oh ALLAH, I have no time, but I think of Jannah. I have forever.
Oh ALLAH, I feel so weak, but I fast in Ramadan. I am strong.
Oh ALLAH, I feel so dirty, but I repent to You. I am cleansed.
Oh ALLAH, I feel so depressed, but I remember you. I am at peace.
Oh ALLAH, I feel so lost, but I follow Your Commands. I am safe.
Oh ALLAH, nobody listens, but You never turn your back on me. I am grateful.
Oh ALLAH, my heart breaks, but I imagine meeting You. My heart finds rest.
Oh ALLAH, I cry every night, but I make wudu. I wash away my tears.
Oh ALLAH, I feel so alone, but I pray to You. I have everything.
And if Allah touches you with harm, there is none who can remove it but He; and if He intends any good for you, there is none who can repel His favor!
          Forget the past and all that it contained.  Being absorbed in things that are past and gone is sheer lunacy.
         Do not be preoccupied with the future because it is in the world of the unseen; do not let it bother you until it comes.
         Do not be shaken by criticism; instead, be firm.  Be sure that in proportion to your worth, the level of people's criticism rises. 
         If you desire peace, tranquility, and comfort, you can find it all in the remembrance of Allah!
         You should know with certainty that everything that happens, occurs in accordance with the divine decree.
         Do not expect gratitude from anyone.
         Train yourself to be prepared for the worst eventuality.
         Everything that is decreed for the believer is the best for him.
         Enumerate the blessings of God and be thankful for them.
         Remember that you are better off than many others.
         Relief comes from one hour to the next.  Indeed, with each difficulty there is relief 
         In both times of hardship and ease, one should turn to supplication and prayer, either patiently contented or thankful.
         Calamities should strengthen your heart and reshape your outlook in a positive way.
         Do not let trivialities be the cause of your destruction.
         Always remember that your Lord is Oft-Forgiving.
         Assume an easy-going attitude and avoid anger.
         Life is bread, water, and shade; so do not be perturbed by a lack of any other material thing.
         Most evil that is supposed to happen never occurs.
         Look at those who have more afflictions and be grateful that you have less.
         Bear in mind the fact that God loves those who endure trials with steadfastness, so seek to be one of them.
         Constantly repeat those supplications that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us to say during times of hardship.
         Work hard at something that is productive, and cast off idleness.
         Know that your malice and your striving to seek revenge are much more harmful to your health than they are to your antagonist.
        The hardships that befall you atone for your sins, if you endure with patience.
Happiness is the only goal on earth that all people without exception are seeking to attain.  Believers and unbelievers alike seek to be happy, but each party is using different methods. However, only believers can achieve genuine happiness.  All forms of happiness attained without a firm belief in God, the Almighty, are mere illusions!

Dear Allah, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are forgiving and understanding. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought  that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep myself and my family safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind  that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give me the best response  when I'm pushed beyond my limits.I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.

Do Not Judge Things or Events by its Immediate Outcome! Almighty, the Most High, is the All-Knowledgeable, the All-Knower... He chooses to show us things... but sometimes... we are not shown the wisdom behind  some things. When we are confronted by circumstances that are not very pleasing.... we are quick to say: "This is not good..." but... is it  really? We might not know the purpose behind it. It might turn to be a good thing.... thus.. .when we are faced with any situation... do not be too quick to judge... always remember.... this life is a test... the good and the bad.... and there is nothing that happens for no reason...  our brains are just not gifted enough to understand these reasons yet.
Sometimes ... things happen to us for a reason.
Many people believe that creativity is inborn and only a chosen few are creative. While it is true that creativity is inborn, it is not true that only a chosen few are creative. Everyone is born creative. In the process of growing up, educating yourself and adapting yourself to your environment, you slowly add blocks to your creativity and forget that you had it in the first place. The difference between a creative person and a person who is not so creative is not in the creativity that they were born with but in the creativity that they have lost. How can you enhance your creative ability? One possible way is to observe the habits of creative people, identify the ones that you feel will work for you and then make a plan to cultivate them. Here are 16 habits of creative people. If you cultivate some of them, you will feel an increase in your level of creativity. In the process, you will also feel tickled by life!
1. Creative people are full of curiosity.
Creative people are wonderstruck. They are tickled by the newness of every moment. They have lots of questions. They keep asking what, why, when, where and how. A questioning mind is an open mind. It is not a knowing mind. Only an open mind can be creative. A knowing mind can never be creative. A questioning stance sensitizes the mind in a very special way and it is able to sense what would have been missed otherwise.
2. Creative people are problem-friendly.
When there is a problem, some people can be seen wringing up their hands. Their first reaction is to look for someone to blame. Being faced with a problem becomes a problem. Such people can be called problem-averse. Creative people, on the other hand, are problem-friendly. They just roll up their sleeves when faced with a problem. They see problems as opportunities to improve the quality of life. Being faced with a problem is never a problem. You get dirty and take a bath every day. You get tired and relax every day. Similarly, you have problems that need to be solved every day. Life is a fascinating rhythm of problems and solutions. To be problem-averse is to be life-averse. To be problem-friendly is to be life-friendly. Problems come into your life to convey some message. If you run away from them, you miss the message.
3. Creative people value their ideas.
Creative people realize the value of an idea. They do not take any chance with something so important. They carry a small notepad to note down ideas whenever they occur. Many times, just because they have a notepad and are looking for ideas to jot down, they can spot ideas which they would have otherwise missed.
4. Creative people embrace challenges.
Creative people thrive on challenges. They have a gleam in their eyes as soon as they sniff one. Challenges bring the best out of them – reason enough to welcome them.
5. Creative people are full of enthusiasm.
Creative people are enthusiastic about their goals. This enthusiasm works as fuel for their journey, propelling them to their goals.
6. Creative people are persistent.
Creative people know it well that people may initially respond to their new ideas like the immune system responds to a virus. They’ll try to reject the idea in a number of ways. Creative people are not surprised or frustrated because of this. Nor do they take it personally. They understand it takes time for a new idea to be accepted. In fact, the more creative the idea, the longer it takes for it to be appreciated.
7. Creative people are perennially dissatisfied.
Creative people are acutely aware of their dissatisfactions and unfulfilled desires. However, this awareness does not frustrate them. As a matter of fact, they use this awareness as a stimulus to realize their dreams.
8. Creative people are optimists.
Creative people generally have a deeply held belief that most, if not all, problems can be solved. No challenge is too big to be overcome. This doesn’t mean they are always happy and never depressed. They do have their bad moments but they don’t generally get stumped by a challenge.
9. Creative people make positive Judgment.
A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn. It can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a right man’s brow – a businessman Charles Brower The ability to hold off on judging or critiquing an idea is important in the process of creativity. Often great ideas start as crazy ones - if critique is applied too early the idea will be killed and never developed into something useful and useable.  This doesn’t mean there is no room for critique or judgment in the creative process but there is a time and place for it and creative people recognize that.
10. Creative people go for the big kill.
Creative people realize that the first idea is just the starting point. It is in the process of fleshing it out that some magical cross-connections happen and the original ‘normal’ idea turns into a killer idea.
11. Creative people are prepared to stick it out.
Creative people who actually see their ideas come to fruition have the ability to stick with their ideas and see them through - even when the going gets tough. This is what sets them apart from others. Stick-ability is the key.
12. Creative people do not fall in love with an idea.
Creative people recognize how dangerous it is to fall in love with an idea. Falling in love with an idea means stopping more ideas from coming to their mind. They love the process of coming up with ideas, not necessarily the idea.
13. Creative people recognize the environment in which they are most creative.
Creative people do most of their thinking in an environment which is most conducive to their creativity. If they are unable to influence their physical environment, they recreate their ‘favourite’ creative environment in their minds.
14. Creative people are good at reframing any situation.
Reframes are a different way of looking at things. Being able to reframe experiences and situations is a very powerful skill.  Reframing allows you to look at a situation from a different angle. It is like another camera angle in a football match. And a different view has the power to change your entire perception of the situation. Reframing can breathe new life into dead situations. It can motivate demoralized teams. It helps you to spot opportunities that you would have otherwise missed.
15. Creative people are friends with the unexpected.
Creative people have the knack of expecting the unexpected and finding connections between unrelated things. It is this special quality of mind that evokes serendipitous events in their lives.  Having honed the art of making happy discoveries, they are able to evoke serendipity more often than others.
16. Creative people are not afraid of failures .Creative people realize that the energy that creates great ideas also creates errors. They know that failure is not really the opposite of success. In fact, both failure and success are on the same side of the spectrum because both are the result of an attempt made. Creative people look at failure as a stopover on way to success, just a step away from it
1.Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile.

2.There are moments in life when you really miss someone that you want to pick them up from your dreams and hug them. Hope you dream of that someone.

3. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want in life.

4.May you have...Enough happiness to make you sweet! Enough trials to make you strong
Enough sorrow to keep you human! Enough hope to make you happy and enough money to keep you comfortable.

5.When one door of happiness closes, another opens. But we often took so long at the closed door, that we don't see the one which has been opened for
us.

6.The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch, swing with, never saying a word and then walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

7.it's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

8.Always put yourself in other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably does hurt the other person too.

9.A careless word may kindle a strife; A cruel word may wreck a life .A timely word may level stress .A lovely word may heal and bless.

10.The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them with our own image, otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

11.The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along the way.

12.Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift.

13.It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

14.Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

15.Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and find out you still care for that person.

16.A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.

17.Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear.

18.Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, need to love those who still love, even though they've been hurt before.

19.It hurts to love someone, and not to be loved in return but what is most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

20.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

21.Never say goodbye when you still want to try; Never give up when you still feel you can take it; Never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go.

22.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

23.There are things you love to hear but you would never hear it from the person whom you would like to hear it from, but don't be deaf to hear it from the person who says it with his heart.

24.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life to the fullest so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.
If you focus on resentment, you'll create many more things to resent.
When you focus on gratitude, you'll bring many more things into your life for which to be thankful.
Focus on anger, and you'll continue finding additional reasons to be angry.
Focus on love, and the opportunities for experiencing love will greatly multiply.
Focus on life's best possibilities, and you'll move steadily in the direction of your dreams.
Focus on the things you truly value, and they grow even more valuable.
Focus on what you are able to give, and you'll greatly expand what you are able to have.
Focus your energy, your attention, your interest and your passion on some particular thing, and you can make the impossible happen.
Where is your focus most consistently directed? That is where your life is most certainly headed.
Focus on love, understanding, peace, and harmony you will have a life pleasing to God.
Focus on hate, bitterness, strife and discord and your life will be wasted and empty.
By choosing your focus, you choose your lifestyle, the world around you, and your future.
Focus on what is truly good and right and valuable for you, and you will be gloriously immersed in that goodness.
Have a blessed day and week.

12. The Prophet's Last Sermon In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful This sermon was delivered on the ninth day of Dhul Hijah, 10 A.H. (632 A.D.) in the valley of Mount Arafat . The contents of the message were collected from different narrations, and there are other parts to it that are not mentioned here. This sermon still needs the authenticity of all of its parts to be checked. "O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present today. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to take interest, therefore, all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib (the prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived. Every right arising out of homicide in pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right I waive is that arising from the murder of Rabiyah bin Al-Harith (relative of the prophet). O Men, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah had made permissible. With Allah the months are twelve; four of them are holy; three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumadah and Shaaban. Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things. O People, it is true that you have certain right with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never commit adultery. O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, and give your wealth in zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and that Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to your selves. Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand my words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others, and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better that those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people."

OH ALLAH! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me!  (Ameen)

Guiding one soul to knowledge and faith is a momentous achievement. It is what will earn us great blessings... Insha Allah

The Prophet (sallallaahu  alayhi wa sallam) said:    "Pass on knowledge from  me even if it is only one Verse".

Four aspects of true leadership Are You a Leader to Follow?
In a post at Harvard Business Online, John Baldoni says true leadership has little to do with your position on an org chart. Just because you have an executive title, that doesn't mean the people you manage consider you a leader. Earning that respect entails a number of different factors, and Baldoni spells out four of them: Reporting bad news. No one wants to be the person at the meeting who points out mistakes, missteps or failures—especially if it makes you or your boss look bad. But it's better to speak up than to let a project fail. Baldoni notes, however, that you need to pick your battles: "You don't need to challenge the boss or the boss's boss every time you disagree," he says. "People will assume you're a crank and dismiss you."
Sticking up for your team. "The boss who lauds his team in front of his superiors is a boss that employees love working for," says Baldoni. "And when the boss takes the heat for things gone wrong, they like him even more." Stick up for them, and they'll work hard for you.
Creating a righteous culture. Hold yourself to the same high standards you set for those you manage. If you demonstrate integrity, respect opposing opinions and treat people well, your employees will aspire to similar behavior. "Leaders have faults first and foremost because they are human," says Baldoni. "But genuine leaders acknowledge their faults and seek to do better."

1) The power of your brain or your wonderful personal computer varies according to its chemistry.
2) Your brain’s chemistry is affected by your thoughts, diet, exercise, rest, environment and physiology.
3) Your thoughts affect your electrochemical nervous system and generate electromagnetic fields that create attractor fields which affect your life and happiness.
4) Your present thoughts and actions reflect what is recorded on your tape.
5) Your tape is programmed to repeat its past and does not want to change.
6) Strong desire and proper direction are necessary to change what is recorded on your tape.
7) Increasing your positive emotions and decreasing your negative emotions will enhance your brain’s chemistry and natural abilities.
However, don’t expect the outside world to produce lasting happiness because after the initial euphoria wears off, you will find yourself looking outside of yourself for more, or different things to make you feel good again. It’s a vicious cycle. The more you get, the more you need to maintain your happiness. You end up being a junkie dependent on things outside of yourself to make you happy!

The Messenger of Allah Peace Be Up On Him (PBUH) asked him where he came from. The Bedouin said: 'I came from far seeking answers to some questions' Our master of masters told him to ask his questions:
 What should I do to feel the presence of Allah when I make my prayers? Holy Prophet (PBUM) Replied   'Give the utmost care in taking your ablutions and in being clean and pure'
`How should I calm my fear of the day of last judgment? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep'
 What should one do to be rich? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Read the Surah Muzammil'.
 What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the graves? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Recite the Surah Mulk'
 I wish to be honorable? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Then, don't divulge the wrong doings of anybody'
 I wish to be a respectable person? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Then, Don't ask for anything from anybody'
 I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Fear Allah'  
 I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Read The Quran'
 I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Remember Death'
 I wish to follow the Straight Path? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied' Do good to others for Allah's sake'
 I wish to be protected against enemies? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied Trust in Allah' 
 What should I do so that Allah does not abase me? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Do not respond to the desires of your flesh'
 I wish to have a long life? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Praise and thank Allah'
 I wish for prosperity? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Be in a state of ablution at all times'
 How can I save myself from the hellfire? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Protect your eyes and your tongue and your hands and what is     below your waistline against evil'  
How can I cleanse myself from my sins? Holy Prophet (PBUH) Replied 'Shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong'

Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address
he said, "We can't keep Muslims from going to Mosque." "We can't keep them from reading their Quran and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Allah and his messenger Muhammad." "Once they gain that connection with Allah, our power over them is broken." "So let them go to their Mosques; let them have their covered dish
dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Allah and his messnger Muhammad." "This is what I want you to do," said the devil "Distract them from gaining hold of their Allah and maintaining that
vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles." "Keep them from spending time with their children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!" "Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small
voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with Allah and his messenger Muhammad." "Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments with billboards." "Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs,
sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and
they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. " "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." Give them headaches too! "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them story books to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Salat." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on Allah's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead. "Keep them busy, busy, busy!" "And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences." "Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Allah." "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!" It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Muslims everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
Having little time for their Allah or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Allah and his
messenger Muhammad to change lives. I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

"O Allah! Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are Able to do all things.You make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the night- You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will, without limit!

 Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaah akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd  May Allah bless us with the righteous way and the proper understanding of His guidance May Allah forgive us of our shortcomings in our deen and our worldly activities which we may have done knowingly and unknowingly. May Allah protect us from the mischief’s of Shaytan and from Shaytan getting the better of our weaknesses. May Allah grant us patience, determination, health, and strength in facing the difficulties of this life May Allah guide us all and help us to May Allah bless the Ummah on this special time of Eid ul FITR  Ameen  Wasalaamu'alaikum warhmatullahi wabarakathu 

O Allah , of Grace I ask You its perfection ; O Allah, terminate with happiness our final end and fulfill our hopes beyond expectation and set Your mercy as our final end and outcome. Pour  abundance of Your Forgiveness  upon us . In You is our trust and upon You our dependence. O Allah , strengthen us on the road of sincerity and righteousness and protect us in this world from that which will be a cause for regret on the Final Day. Lighten the burden of our sins and bestow upon us  a life of Righteousness  and aver the evils of those who do evil. Free us and  our fathers our mothers and our teachers from the fire of hell by the grace of Your Mercy. O most Mighty , most Merciful , most Generous; the First of the First and the Last of the Last.  The Possessor of unshakable Power.

"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." “Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaaha illal-Allah;  wa Allahu akbar  wa Lillaahi”l-hamd
Note: The practice of the Prophet, peace be upon him, who was the most merciful of men, was that he always forgave those who did a wrong to him, but never failed to punish, according to the Divine Law, men who violated the limits laid down by God. It is related in Bukhari and Muslim

We make them cry who care for us.
We cry for those who never care for us.
And we care for those who will never cry for us.

Don’t let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life….

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams, Choice is yours. Never explain yourself to anyone because the person who likes you doesn’t need it, and the person who dislikes you won’t believe it.

Don’t make promises when you are in joy. Don’t reply when you are sad. Don’t take decisions when you are angry.

Happiness Keeps You Sweet, Trials Keep You Strong, Sorrow Keeps You Human, Failure Keeps You Humble & Success Keeps You Glowing, But Only Faith & Attitude Keeps You Going..."

Do not set your goals By what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted The things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life. For without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time,
Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over Until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread That binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances That we learn to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life By saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. In addition, The best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope, To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life So fast that you forget Not only where you have been But also where you are going. Life is not a race but a journey To be savored each step of the way. So smile and let the sunshine through. For there's someone, Somewhere , watching over you.
Systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the first number of your blood pressure reading. For example, if your reading is 120/80 (120 over 80), your systolic blood pressure is 120.  HDL cholesterol. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is the "good" cholesterol because it helps prevent cholesterol from building up in your arteries. The higher your HDL, the better. An HDL of 60 mg/dL and above protects against heart disease. An HDL of less than 40 mg/dL puts you at major risk of heart attack. The higher your total cholesterol, the greater your risk for heart disease. A total cholesterol of 240 mg/dL and above puts you at twice the risk of heart disease compared with someone whose cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL.
The Holy Quran is the Only subject in the world which if read and acted upon will help us when we are buried under tons and tons of earth !* If your child is heading towards a small bonfire wont you stop him even if you have to hit him so in the same way Allah swt loads us with problems when HE sees us running towards hells fire! 

For the world, u r some one, but for someone, u r the world!!!

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son
on a trip to the
country with the firm purpose of showing his son how
poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of
what would be
considered a very poor family. On their return from
their trip, the father
asked his son,
"How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked
the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they
had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our
garden and they have a
creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in
our garden and they have
the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front
yard and they have the
whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live
on and they have fields
that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve
us, but they serve
others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they
have friends to
protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added,
"Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

                                                            "The Train of Life"

Some folks ride the train of life looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by and marking every year.

They sit in sad remembrance of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was and hang their head and cry.

But I don't concern myself with that, I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds and not what has been spent.

So strap me to the engine, as securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front, to see what I can see.

I want to feel the winds of change, blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds, as I move from place to place.

I want to see what's coming up, not looking at the past,
Life's too short for yesterdays, it moves along too fast.

So if the ride gets bumpy, while you are looking back,
Go up front, and you may find, your life has jumped the track.

It's all right to remember, that's part of history,
But up front's where it's happening, there's so much mystery.
The enjoyment of living is not where we have been,
It's looking ever forward to another year and ten.
It's searching all the byways, never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life, you gotta drive the trail

They are:Subhan Allah WA-bi hamdihi' and 'Subhan Allah Al-'Azim."

Ibn-al Qayyaum R.A said: the things that make the body sick are:
Too much talking,
Too much sleeping,
Too much Eating 

We grope; we guess. We presume; we assume. Only He knows the secrets of the head
and heart. A Sufi maxim

                                  The sudden and spiralling boost in the political career of Asif Zardari after
the demise of his wife Benazir Bhutto shows the macho mind of politics in
Pakistan. It affirms that ours is a male-dominated society. A woman politician
at the helm of affairs was not acceptable to the mullahs and male chauvinists in
the country. When Benazir Bhutto was alive and active in politics she was
targeted for the misdeeds and omissions of her husband. Now that she is dead and
gone, the same politicians, her former foes, have rallied around Zardari, whom
they had ridiculed to their hearts' content.

Prior to her gruesome assassination on Dec 27, 2007, Benazir Bhutto had
furnished answers to the numerous queries from the media about the mysterious
seclusion of her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, now president of Pakistan. She is on
record as having remarked that Asif was seriously sick. At times she had
elaborated his ailments he had serious cardiac problems, his painful backbone
restrained his movement, he was under constant observation and treatment by his
doctors in the US and Dubai. She did not consider him fit enough to cope with
the rigours of election campaigns. Thus, he was not given a party ticket for
contesting the elections of 2008.

Asif Zardari's enigmatic absence from politics made many people believe he was
genuinely ill and he was almost written off. He was not even considered an
absentee politician. Prior to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto he was a
closed chapter in Pakistani politics. However, the 24 hours following the
violent termination of Benazir Bhutto's life, in one of the highest-profile
murders in Pakistan, were most perplexing.

Most puzzling was the prompt appearance of a healthy Asif Zardari on the
scenario. He did not emerge from the aircraft on a stretcher. Not for a moment
was he seen on a wheelchair in the corridors of the airport. He showed no signs
of a painful backbone and heart ailment. On the contrary, he had difficulty in
concealing his smile, the hallmark of his personality. His physical appearance
belied the statements of Benazir about his deteriorating health. He immediately
took control of the situation and expedited his slain wife's burial.

An unconfirmed account of a planned assassination of Benazir is an unsolved
riddle. Prior to her emergence from the sunroof of the bullet-proof vehicle she
had received a call on her cell phone. The caller pleaded that people were eager
to catch her glimpse and that she should emerge from the sunroof and wave at
them. Benazir obliged the caller, and was targeted with dead accuracy when she
had barely appeared. Profusely bleeding from her temple, she collapsed onto her
seat. She was rushed to hospital, but by then she had died. Her sudden and
violent death bewildered the world. Pakistan plunged into unprecedented chaos
and confusion. Who made this call to plead for her appearance from the sunroof?
Then her mobile phone disappeared, which made it impossible for investigators to
trace the number of her last caller.

Asif Zardari surprised the world by expediting the burial of Benazir Bhutto. The
diehard followers of Benazir Bhutto had expected that she would be given a
historic burial with a ceremonial funeral procession, as in the case of Indira
Gandhi and Mother Teresa in which world leaders or their representatives would
pay their homage to the brave lady. Instead, she was hurriedly buried by the
side of her two assassinated brothers, and her murdered father, Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto.

It remains a mystery what prompted Asif Zardari to ensure her swift burial.
Apart from being his wife, Benazir Bhutto was a globally renowned politician.
Extended special transmissions beamed her shocking assassination around the
world. He surprised observers by refusing the performance of an autopsy to
ascertain the cause of her death. No one to this day knows what kind of bullet
killed her. Was it fired from a prohibited weapon? Was it a chemical bullet?
What was the approximate distance from where she was shot at? Such questions
will remain unanswered forever.

The elimination of Benazir Bhutto ensured smooth sailing for Asif Zardari in the
politics of Pakistan. His adversaries and former foes rallied round him. Gen
Pervez Musharaf gave him a red carpet reception. Once his avowed antagonist,
Altaf Hussain proposed that he become the president of Pakistan. Zardari
promptly obliged him. Within ten months of the passing away of Benazir Bhutto,
her husband whom she had kept at bay in politics, occupied the Presidency.

Chronological happenings in one's life are not recorded on a videotape. You can't
rewind it, review it again, and delete the unpleasant events you do not like.
You can regret what you ought not to have done. But you can't get rid of your
past. It haunts you for the rest of your life. This is how Providence ordains
the span between our arrival and departure from this world. We live and die
between our deeds and misdeeds, omissions and commissions, and vices and virtues.

Prior to his becoming president, Asif Zardari was not a popular person in
Pakistan. Political analysts hold him responsible for Benazir Bhutto's two-time
exits from the Prime Minister's House. His unaccounted-for fabulous wealth has
contributed to his infamy. After burying his wife he promptly took stock of the
political situation in Pakistan.

With an invisible wand he won over his former enemies. He mesmerised politicians
like Altaf Hussain, Asfandyar Wali, and Nawaz Sharif. His philosophy of good
governance is simple: eliminate the opposition. He buys his adversaries with
ministerial postings, advisory consultancies, ministries of state, lucrative
postings, fabulous increases in pay, allowances and fringe benefits, allotments,
and swollen purses.

He has literally purchased the opposition in Pakistan. What he unfortunately
doesn't know is the Sufi view about his dubious philosophy: "One who believes he
can buy anything and anybody happens to be a vulnerable commodity for sale."


18 Sources of Barakah

If we were to look for an Islamic definition of Productivity, it'll probably be
summarised in the word "barakah" or Blessing. Being able to achieve more with
little resources, doing much in little time, and generate a lot with little
effort surely is a blessing from Allah (SWT). Yet Barakah has somehow become a
lost treasure these days; everyone's looking for it, but no one seems to find it!
You always hear people complaining that there's no barakah in their time, no
barakah in their sleep, no barakah in their money..etc. In this post, we'll
solve this mystery inshaAllah, we'll find out what Barakah is and where you can
find it!

What is Barakah?

A Well-known daee explains it as follows:

والبركة: هي ثبوت الخير الإلهي في الشيء؛ فإنها إذا حلت في قليل كثرته، وإذا حلت في
كثير نفع، ومن أعظم ثمار البركة في الأمور كلها إستعمالها في طاعة الله عز وجل.

"Barakah is the attachment of Divine goodness to a thing, so if it occurs in
something little, it increases it. And if it occurs in something much it
benefits. And the greatest fruits of Barakah in all things is to use that
barakah in the obedience of Allah (SWT)"

Sources of Barakah

I’m a firm believer that Barakah is not a lost treasure, it’s right in front of
our eyes! This treasure is only available and ready to be handed over to the one
who works for it. Below I list some of the sources of Barakah. It’s not an
exhaustive list, therefore, I do hope you can contribute to it with your
comments below inshaAllah so we can all share and extend our understanding of
this great treasure!

1. Good Intentions

If you want something to have barakah attached to it, have good intentions for
it. More specifically, make sure that deed is intended for the sake of Allah (SWT).
Looking at the definition of Barakah again, you may guess that without us
intending what we have or do to be for thesake of Allah, the “Divine goodness”
won’t be attached to it.

2. Piety and Belief in Allah

Allah says in the Quran: “If the people of the towns had but believed and feared
Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (All kinds of) blessings from
heaven and earth…”(Surat Al-A’raf, verse 96). And He says in the Quran: “And for
those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from
(sources) he never could imagine” (Surat Al-Talaq, verses 2-3).

3. Putting your trust in Allah

Allay says in the Quran: “And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is
((Allah)) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all
things has Allah appointed a due proportion” (Surat Al-Talaq, verses 3)

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “If only you relied on Allaah a true
reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They
fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs.”

4. Reading Quran

This is the fountain of the Barakah! But subhanaAllah, we rarely drink from it!
Allah says in the Quran: “And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing
blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it…” (Surat Al-An’am,
verse 92). So read the Quran, and note the blessings and barakah of Allah coming
to your life. The further we are from this book, the less barakah we’ll have in
our lives, trust me.

5. Saying Bismillah

When you say bismillah before anything you do, you’re invoking the name of Allah
on that activity, not only will that activity be blessed but shaytaan cannot
take part in it! So always say bismillah before anything you do!

SubhanaAllah, it’s easy for us to forget to say Bismillah or be conscious of
saying it. Sometimes we’re so used to saying it that we can’t remember if we
said it or not! Try to be conscious of saying Bismillah and understand what you’re
saying.

6. Eating with People

Anyone who had the experience of inviting guests to his/her house will know this
one. No matter how little you think the food you’re presenting to your guest is,
it’s always enough! (note: this is not an excuse to be miserly when you invite
guests over, in fact we should follow the sunnah of our Prophet Ibhraim (Peace
be upon him) who when the angels visited his house and he didn’t know they were
angels he went and prepared a large meal for them). What I’m referring here is
the blessing that occurs with eating together, this is confirmed in the hadeeth
of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) who said :”Eat together, for blessing is
in Jamma’a (congregation or being together)…” and in another hadeeth “Whoever
has food enough for two persons, should take a third one, and whoever has food
enough for four persons, should take a fifth or a sixth (or said something
similar).”

7. Honesty in Trade

This is for all of the business people out there (include ebayers!), don’t think
that lying and deceiving people would make your trade profitable, on the
contrary, it’ll remove the blessing from your trade. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
upon him) said: “The buyer and the seller have the option ofcancelingor
confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and
made clear the defects of the goods, them they would be blessed in their bargain,
and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of
Allah’s blessings.”

Yes, it’s difficult to be honest when you’re trying to sell something, but trust
me it’s worth it.

8. Dua

Ask Allah for barakah! If you listen to some of the Duas from the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) you’ll notice how the Prophet used to make dua for
barakah. We always say “May Allah bless you!” well, guess what? That’s a source
of barakah! Also, when you’re invited to someone’s house, Prophet Muhammad
advised us to make the following dua for the host:”O Allaah, bless for them,
that which You have provided them, forgive them and have mercy upon them.”

9. Halal income/money

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “O people, Allah is good and He
therefore, accepts only that which is good”Scholars refer this to Halal income
and the importance of Halal income.

A scholar also said that the one who eats Haram his limbs will disobey Allah
whether he likes it or not, and the one who eats Halal and seeks Halal income
his limbs will also do good and would be given the permission to seek goodness.

This concept of your limbs being “blessed” and enabled to do good, is truly a
blessing and a barakah we should all seek. Reminds me of a story of the old man,
who jumped a large distance that young people couldn’t do. So when the young men
asked the old man how he did it, he replied: “These are limbs, we’ve protected
it from doing sins when we were young, so Allah preserved them from us when we
got old”

10. Following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad in all things

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, the most Productive Man in the history
of humanity is Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him), therefore, by just following
his lifestyle and the sunnahs we so often hear about, is a great source of
Barakah!

Some of these sunnahs include: Eating Suhoor, eating with the right hand from
the side of the plate, going out for Eid Salat, licking your fingers after
finishing eating, sleeping on your right hand side, using the siwaak, and many
more. Look out for these sunnahs and follow them, for imitating the life of the
most blessed man on earth, is surely a source of blessing!

11. Praying Istikhara

Praying istikhara in all matters and handing over the matters to Allah and
accepting his decree is a great source of barakah. And Prophet Muhammad have
taught us this beautiful dua which helps us make decisions and not regret the
choices we make with the permission of Allah in the following hadeeth:

On the authority of Jaabir Ibn ‘Abdullah he said: The Prophet (S) would instruct
us to pray for guidance in all of our concerns, just as he would teach us a
chapter from the Qur’an. He (S) would say ‘if any of you intends to undertake a
mater then let him pray two supererogatory units (two rak’ah naafilah) of prayer
and after which he should supplicate:

‘O Allaah, I seek Your counsel by Your knowledge and by Your power I seek
strength and I ask You from Your immense favour, for verily You are able while I
am not and verily You know while I do not and You are the Knower of the unseen.
O Allaah, if You know this affair -and here he mentions his need- to be good for
me in relation to my religion, my life, and end, then decree and facilitate it
for me, and bless me with it, and if You know this affair to be ill for me
towards my religion, my life, and end, then remove it from me and remove me from
it , and decree for me what is good wherever it be and make me satisfied with
such.’

One who seeks guidance from his Creator and consults his fellow believers and
then remains firm in his resolve does not regret for Allaah has said:

‘…and consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your
trust in Allaah…”

12. Giving thanks to Allah in abundance

Allah says in the Quran: “If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you”
A scholar once told me if you look into this verse, the Arabic word that is used
to confirm that Allah will favours unto the person who thanks Allah is actually
in the form of an Oath “La azidannakum” so Allah is promising the person who
thanks Him that He’ll increase him, and Allah never breaks his promises.

13. Charity

In the Hadeeth Qudusi, Allah says: “O son of Adam, spend (in charity), and I’ll
spend on you!”

Whenever you are broke, or you feel barakah is zapped out of our life and
urgently need it back, the quickest of way of getting barakah in your life is
giving charity. Not only because of the above hadeeth, but let’s say barakah has
been removed from your life because of a sin you’ve committed, charity cleanses
your sins and adds good deeds and is truly a source of barakah.

I cannot describe the instantaneous gratification of giving charity and the
barakah that follows it! Try it NOW!

14. Tying your ties of kinship

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “Allah created His creation, and when He
had finished it, the womb, got up and caught hold of Allah whereupon Allah said,
“What is the matter?’ On that, it said, ‘I seek refuge with you from those who
sever the ties of Kith and kin.’ On that Allah said, ‘Will you be satisfied if I
bestow My favors on him who keeps your ties, and withhold My favors from him who
severs your ties?’ On that it said, ‘Yes, O my Lord!’ Then Allah said, ‘That is
for you.’ ” Abu Huraira added: If you wish, you can recite: “Would you then if
you were given the authority. do mischief in the land and sever your ties
ofkinship.”

15. Waking up early

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “Allah made the early hours blessed
for my Ummah.”

This hadeeth was the reason for me to start ProductiveMuslim.com! Such gems of
productivity are actually sources of blessings that we should seek to make our
life productive. Waking up early is such an important part of being blessed and
feeling blessed throughout your day.

Try to wake up for tahajjud, pray, and then work during the hours before fajr
salaat and tahajjud. If you can’t, then at least wake up for fajr and stay up
till sunrise before you go back to sleep. Those hours are so blessed. If you’re
able to go to work in those hours, do so, you’ll get much more work done than
the whole day put together!

16. Marriage

Allah says in the Quran: “Marry those among you who are single, or the virtuous
ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give
them means out of His grace: for Allah encompasseth all, and he knoweth all
things.”

Speaking of marriage, I highly recommend the following training course to anyone
seriously thinking of getting married: www.Practimate.com.

17. Salaat

Allah says in the Quran: “Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein.
We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of)
the Hereafter is for righteousness”

To illustrate the point of Salaat further, just imagine your life without salaat,
where would barakah come from? For those of you who are still wavering in their
Salaat, please get back on track, this is your lifeline in this life and
hereafter, and the daily food for your soul.

18. Asking Allah for forgiveness

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: “If anyone continually asks forgiveness
from Allah, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, and a relief
from every anxiety, and will provide for him from where he did not reckon.”

  A Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith 
But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist! 
A nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God, right?
But, then, if a daughter of Muslim-Ummah does the same, why is she oppressed?
When a western woman stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected by the entire society because of sacrificing her life to her house 
But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"!
Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom? 
But when a Muslim Girl/Lady wears Hijab, they prevent her from entering the university!
When a child dedicates himself to a subject, he has potential and talent.. 
But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is hopeless!
WHY  
When a Jew kills someone, religion is not mentioned, but when a Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!
When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and everyone respects him. 
But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated --- He gets the title of 'terrorist'! Why? Because he is a "Muslim"!
When there is trouble, we accept any solution available, right? However, if the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it. 
When someone drives a perfect car in an improper manner, none blames the car....
But when any Muslim makes a mistake or treats people in a bad manner -   people say "Islam is the reason"!
Without giving a glance at Islamic laws, people believe what the newspapers say.
But question what the Holy QURAN says! 

The world values smart people more than sincere ones. Well-dressed, well-heeled,well-spoken individuals score more brownie points socially, are more popular and more likely to be successful in whatever they set out to do—regardless of what they may be like within.
People in the public eye hire image consultants to make them ‘look good’, who monitor everything about the individual’s public persona – the way they speak, the clothes they wear, the food they endorse, the places they are seen at, the causes they espouse.

Not just public personalities, even ordinary people are within the purview of image experts. Popular magazines and websites abound with pseudo-psychoanalytical articles on what one’s clothes, hair, jewellery or accessories are saying about a person, and how people can carefully tailor their appearance to create maximum impact.

Contrast this with the attitude of the early Muslims.

When the Muslims opened Jerusalem, the Christians refused to give the city’s keys to anyone except the Caliph. So ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab, may Allah be pleased with him, set off from Madeenah to Jerusalem. His entourage? One attendant and a mule, which they took turns to ride.

It happened to be the attendant’s turn to ride on the day they were to reach Jerusalem. The attendant volunteered to give up his turn because it would look “awkward in the eyes of the people” if he rode and the Chief of the Believers walked. ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, refused, saying: “yakfeenaa sharaful Islaam – the honour of Islaam is enough for us.”

On the way, while walking across a muddy area, ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, took off his footwear, put it under his arm and raised his clothes so they wouldn’t get muddy. When Abu Ubaydah, may Allah be pleased with him, who was one of the commanders waiting for him saw this, he ran to ‘Umar asking him to ride his horse while entering the city. He said they were in a land where the quality of clothes reflected the rank of people.

‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, replied: “I wish someone other than you had said that. Have you forgotten that we were a lowly people and it was Islam that made us honourable? If we seek honour from anything other than Islaam, Allah will return us to that state of lowliness.”


For proof regarding the fulfillment of this prophecy, one only has to look around: Muslims are being humiliated, subjugated and oppressed by the very system and people whose ways they seek to emulate, in preference to the Sunnah of their Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and the example of those whom Allaah was pleased with.

It’s true, cultivating “coolness” has more immediate pay-offs than cultivating sincerity. Wearing the latest brands and hanging out at the most-happening places is the ticket to gaining entry into the ‘with-it’ crowd – the people with the wittiest repartees, trendiest hairstyles and clothes, fanciest cars and gizmos— who spend a considerable amount of time and energy trying to stay abreast of the latest trends. As opposed to this ‘magic circle’, seen from the outside, the company of sincere people seems unglamorous, even boring.

On the other hand, people who set out on the straight and narrow, choosing substance over style, seeking to please Allah as opposed to pleasing people, may not find their popularity ratings soar—quite the opposite, in fact. Yet, they get strength in the certainty of their belief, that their reward is with Allah in the Hereafter.

What are the signs that a person is seeking to build an ‘image’ instead of developing true faith by their deeds?

The primary cause of riyaa is a weakness in faith. When a person does not have strong faith in Allah, he will prefer the admiration of people over the pleasure of Allah.”

There are three symptoms that are indicative of riyaa, and it is essential that a believer avoid all of them.

* The love of praise  * Fear of criticism:  * Greed for people’s possessions
How does one go about seeking sincerity? ‘Sincerity to Allaah means having faith in Him… avoiding disobedience to Him, to love for His sake and to hate for His sake, to keep good relations with those that obey Him and to have enmity with those that envy Him. To recognise His ever abundant favours and to give thanks to Him for them.

As Muslims, our main concern is not to score points over each other — it is to help each other gain Allah’s pleasure.
As Muslims how can we assume vicegerency over the Earth when we fail to be sincere slaves to our Lord; when we are concerned with outward appearances more than the state of our Imaan, which is in our souls/hearts?

"What can my enemies do to me... my imprisonment is meditation and my killing is martyrdom."

 My pitiful struggles in this life are nothing when you look to the great muslims of the past!


If you want a roll model, look to the mothers of the believers (ra),Rabia al-Adawwiya (ra),Sayyida Nafisa (ra) or any of the countless women who have dedicated themselves to Allah swt! Me? I am a nothing so please don't put me on a pedestal. It just means I'll have a very long way to fall down or crash land!

"Inna lillaahi wa Inna Ilaihi Raaji'un (Verily to Allaah we belong and verily, to Him we shall return)."
 Patience is like its name - bitter in taste, yet its outcomes are sweeter than honey. So the person sees this thing (the affliction) weighs very heavy upon him, yet he bears it although he dislikes that it happened. "And be patient, indeed Allah is with the patient ones." The affliction is hard upon him, yet he remains patient over it. Thankfulness and being grateful is the highest level. This person thanks Allah for the affliction which has struck him


Some 25 yrs back,a Saudi king asked France 4 a piece of land 2 build a Mosque, They said if Saudi goverment gives a piece of land 2 build a church in Makkah they'l allow a mosque in France, But Islam grew in France, now by Allah's grace, there are 5000 mosques in France and No church in Saudia.

Bon Scott (Singer) The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: 'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'. On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend..... The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: 'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.' She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full ' Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken

A new review of the literature shows that eating walnuts daily has the potential to drop LDL cholesterol -- the bad, artery-clogging kind -- by almost 7 percent! Pretty powerful nut.

BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHIM!

The speech of our pious predecessors is more beneficial than our speech because they spoke for the honor of Islam, for the salvation of the soul, & for the pleasure of Allah. However, we speak to honor ourselves, to seek out the world, & to please creation"

  Allah is with the broken-hearted When your heart breaks it’s a good thing the breaking of the heart is what opens it up to the light of Allah.
The dunya is designed to break your heart, to crush it
A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah. (Ibn Taymiyah)

  For everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him

Ya Allah please forgive,guide,bless and love us Ameen!

Ya Allah please shower our homes with the noor and blessings that YOU shower on the Holy Kabaah Ameen!

"..And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him."

Ya Allah please bless us with all the best of both the worlds Ameen!

O Allah, we are spiritually sick and we are physically sick.
O Allah, so many of our brothers and sisters, and our parents are sick and ailing. They are in hospitals. Some are in nursing homes and old-age homes.
O Allah, grant shifa to those who are sick and ailing.
O Allah, shifa is in Your hands.
O Allah, we know that there is effect in du’aa and there is effect in medication, but O Allah, shifa is in Your hands.
O Allah, we know that sometimes sickness is a rahmat and a blessing in a disguised form, but we are extremely weak.
O Allah, even if such sickness is a rahmat…
O Allah, change it to the rahmat of good health.
But O Allah, we know that most of our sicknesses, depression and anxieties are because of our sins.
O Allah, grant us shifa from all sicknesses and ailments – physical and spiritual. O Allah, bless us with physical health and spiritual health.

1 . If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry! Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!

2 . Expecting the world to treat u fairly coz u r a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack u coz u r a vegetarian . Think about it .

3 . Don't walk as if you rule the world, walk as if you don't care who rules the world!
That's called Attitude . Keep on rocking!

4 . He was a good man .. He never smoked, drank . When he died,the insurance company refused the claim . They said, he who never lived, cannot die!

5 . A man threw his wife in a pond of Crocodiles . He's now being harassed by the Animal Rights Activists for being cruel to the Crocodiles!

6 . 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving .
This makes it a logical statement that 90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!
