   Ad-dajjal Will Be Mostly Followed By Women  Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The False Messiah (Ad-dajjal) will come upon this marsh of Marriqanat. Most of those who go out to him will be women, to the extent that a man goes back to his wife, his mother, his daughter, his sister and his aunt to shackle them tightly, fearing they would go out to him. The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, made many predictions about Ad-dajjal. One of the predictions says that Dajjal will be a young man with curly hair and women will follow him the most. A true believer in God will tie his women in his house so that they will not go after Ad-dajjal/ Dajjal. It implies that Dajjal may be offering things loved by women. I see this prediction almost fulfilled. I do not see a house where educated women are obedient to men and who (women) do not go to markets, parties, parks, weddings, etc., on one excuse or another. In another Hadith, it is...

شبِ برات کی فضیلت اور اہمیت؟ کیا #شبِ_برات ایک  اسلامی تہوار ہے؟ شبِ برات میں مسلمان لوگ کون سے جائز کام کر سکتے ہیں؟  (تم اذان دیتے رہو، کوئی نماز پڑھنے آئے یا نہ آئے وہ تمہاری ذمّہ داری نہیں ہے۔) ابوموسیٰ اشعری رضی اللہ عنہ نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت بیان کی کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”اللہ تعالیٰ نصف #شعبان کی رات (اپنے بندوں پر) نظر فرماتا ہے، پھر #مشرک اور (مسلمان بھائی سے) دشمنی رکھنے والے کے سوا ساری مخلوق کی مغفرت فرما دیتا ہے۔‏‏‏‏“  [سنن ابن ماجه/كتاب إقامة الصلاة والسنة/حدیث: 1390] کسی صحیح #حدیث سے یہ ثابت نہیں کہ نبی ﷺ نے : -اس رات کوئی خاص نماز پڑھی -پوری رات جاگ کر اجتماعی عبادت کی ـچراغ جلائے ـخصوصی وعظ یا اجتماع کروایا البتہ ایک روایت میں آتا ہے کہ: نبی ﷺ قبرستان (جنت البقیع) تشریف لے گئے اور دعا فرمائی (یہ عمل انفرادی تھا، عوامی یا اجتماعی نہیں)  خلاصہ : پھر بھی اگر آج کوئی مسلمان اس رات کو کچھ خاص کام کرنا چاہتا ہے تو اس سے کون روکے گا۔ کل قیامت کے دن ہم سب کو پوچھا جائے گا کہ ہم نے کون سے کام کیے، کس نیّت سے کیے یا کس فائد...

Muslim Rulers Were Enemies of True Islam. Introduction: We should read history because it helps us understand how people lived before us and why the world is the way it is today. History teaches us lessons from past mistakes so we do not repeat them. It shows how nations rise and fall, how wars begin and how peace is made. By reading history, we learn to think deeply, respect different cultures and make wiser decisions for the future. Content: Islam is peace, but Muslim rulers were violent. The history of Islam is beautiful, but the history of Muslim rulers is horrible. Banu Umayyah martyred Muslims mercilessly to consolidate their rule—they even martyred members of the family of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, Hasan and Hussain. However, in 750 CE, Banu Abbas hunted down members of Banu Umayyah and put them to death. They destroyed the Umayyad dynasty completely. They even opened the graves of Umayyad caliphs, exhumed their bodies and burnt them. They also opened the grave of the founder of the U...

                      Being Financially Illiterate?      Fake lifestyle finally leads to 'fakiri'.      Simplicity is sincerity. Showing off leads to self-destruction. The image highlights how '' Gen_Z'' is fast becoming the poorest generation despite appearing affluent, driven by a culture of show-off and social media validation. Around ''70% of iPhones in India are bought on finance'' and young earners routinely spend most of their salaries on EMIs for phones, sneakers, bikes, expensive marriages and cars merely to maintain status. This obsession with looking rich has led to a sharp rise in personal debt, with ''credit card defaults jumping nearly 500% between 2020 and 2024'', while basic financial safeguards like savings, health insurance and life insurance are widely ignored. Fake lifestyles—staged travel, borrowed luxury and manufactured online clout—mask the reality of financial fragility. ...
