دوستوں کی آٹھ اقسام ہیں۔ (1) #قرین: یہ وہ دوست ہے جو ہمیشہ تمہارے ساتھ اٹھتا بیٹھتا ہے۔ (2) #مونس: یہ وہ دوست ہے جس کو دیکھتے ہی تمہارے دل میں سکون آ جاتا ہے۔ (3) رفیق: یہ وہ مہربان دوست ہے جس سے تم کچھ بھی کہو، وہ برا نہیں مانتا۔ (4) صَدِيق: یہ وہ سچا دوست ہے جس کے حلق پر اگر تلوار بھی رکھی جائے تو بھی وہ جھوٹ نہیں بولتا۔ (5) خَلِيل: یہ وہ دوست ہے جو تمہارے دل میں رہتا ہے، چاہے اس سے بات ہو یا نہ ہو۔ (6) حَبِيب: یہ وہ دوست ہے جس کے تم دیوانے ہوتے ہو۔ (7) وَلِيّ: یہ وہ دوست ہے جو تمہاری مدد کے لیے ہر وقت حاضر ہوتا ہے۔ (8) صَاحِب: یہ وہ عام دوست ہوتا ہے جس کا ہونا یا نہ ہونا زیادہ فرق نہیں رکھتا۔ ================== تم تکلف کو بھی اخلاص سمجھتے ہو، فرازؔ دوست نہیں ہوتا ہر ہاتھ ملانے والا۔

  The Foolishness of the Caliph Led to the Fall of Baghdad in 656 A.H. Caliph Mustasim was the last Abbasid caliph in Baghdad. He was not wise and did not understand the danger around him. Because of his poor decisions, Baghdad fell to the Mongols in 656 A.H. (1258 CE)  When the Mongol army, led by Hulegu Khan, first attacked, the Baghdad army fought them. The Mongol soldiers were also tired and injured. But instead of preparing for another attack, Caliph Mustasim felt happy and believed the danger was over. Like modern Muslim rulers, he was addicted to pleasures and underestimated his enemy.  His minister, Ibn Alqami, did not tell him the truth. He secretly sent information to Hulegu Khan. Soon, news came that Hulegu had surrounded Baghdad with a huge army. The common people of Baghdad tried to defend their city. For 50 days, they stopped the Mongols from entering. But some people inside the city contacted Hulegu and made agreements for their own safety. Ibn Alqami conti...

  The Orator of Asia Qari Muhammad Haneef was born in 1930 and later became one of the most renowned Islamic orators of his time. He was not born blind; rather, he lost his eyesight at around the age of fourteen due to illness. Despite this, he pursued religious education and earned fame for his powerful and emotional bayānāt, receiving titles such as Khatib-e-Asia (Orator of Asia). Qari Tayyib and Ataullah Shah Bukhari were his main influences. Although the exact number of his speeches is not officially recorded, many of his sermons are preserved in audio form. He passed away in 1995 at the age of about sixty-five.

  Heal Your Boredom A life filled with a variety of meaningful activities rarely becomes heavy or dull. It is this variety—changing between work, reflection, learning, movement and interaction—that refreshes the mind and prevents boredom from taking root. When a person keeps his mind and body engaged in different useful pursuits, negative states such as anxiety, stress and jealousy also find less space to grow. Idleness and monotony often magnify worries, while purposeful and varied activity brings balance, energy and contentment. History shows that the most balanced personalities lived active and varied lives, combining physical movement, social interaction, reflection, service and simplicity. The holy life of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH is a powerful example of this principle: 1) He (PBUH) often walked long distances in daily life and travel. 2) He climbed mountains and rough terrain including journeys to the Cave of Hira. 3) He spent time alone in meditation and deep thought abou...

  Image of God? The image presents different religions’ ideas of God brought together in a single grand scene. At the left corner stands a glowing, many-armed Hindu goddess with a calm face, adorned with jewellery and holding various weapons. Next to her is Jesus Christ, shown with a gentle expression, long hair, a beard and a shining halo. Nearby stands an elderly, powerful bearded man—resembling traditional artistic portrayals of the Jewish understanding of God—appearing wise and strong. Beneath them are figures inspired by Greek and Roman gods: muscular men and women wearing crowns, holding lightning bolts and other symbols, posed in heroic stances. Below them shines a brilliant, dazzling light representing ''noor'', a common concept associated with God in Islam—pure light without any human form. Muslims believe that God is formless, shapeless and imageless. Next to the light are Gautama Buddha and a Native Amer ican deity.

Chase an interesting life, not just a wealthy life. Earning money is important — but it should not be the only aim in a man’s life. Money helps a man to live comfortably. It gives him food, shelter, security and respect in society. But money alone cannot give him peace of mind, strong relationships, good character or true happiness. Earning money is necessary, but making it the only aim of life can leave a man restless and dissatisfied. True success also includes character, health, faith, family and inner peace. As Epictetus said, “Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” Likewise, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” And Mahatma Gandhi reminded us, “Live simply so that others may simply live.” Money should serve life, not rule it.  Money is a tool, not the purpose. A balanced man earns money to support his life, not to replace his life.  Therefore, there are hundreds of t...
