Hazrat Nu‘ayman/حضرت نُعَیْمَانؓ (رضي الله عنه): The Companion Who often Made the Prophet ﷺ Smile Hazrat Nu‘ayman ibn ‘Amr (رضي الله عنه) was a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ known for his cheerful and humorous personality. He was one of the Companions who would make the Prophet ﷺ smile and laugh with his innocent and playful sense of humour. He was not merely a man who loved jokes. He was a Companion of Badr, a man of faith and courage and his life also shows that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ had different personalities and could enjoy wholesome humour. Some interesting stories about him are narrated in the books of seerah and biographies. However, it is important to note that not all of these reports are equally authentic. Some are well established, while others are historical reports with weaker chains of transmission.  1.

  #اربعین حضرت امام حسینؓ کے #مزار کی زیارت کا دن ہے۔ شیعہ روایت کے مطابق، اسی دن حضرت امام حسینؓ کا سرِ مبارک دمشق سے واپس لا کر کربلا میں آپ کے جسدِ مبارک کے ساتھ دفن کیا گیا تھا۔  #اربعین کیا ہے؟ اربعین کے معنی ہیں چالیسواں دن۔ یہ حضرت امام حسینؓ اور اُن کے وفادار ساتھیوں کی شہادت کے چالیسویں دن، یعنی 20 صفر کو منایا جاتا ہے۔ برصغیر میں سنی اور شیعہ دونوں مکاتبِ فکر میں عام طور پر وفات کے بعد چوتھے اور چالیسویں دن مرحوم کے لیے دعائے مغفرت اور فاتحہ خوانی کا اہتمام کیا جاتا ہے، اگرچہ اس کی شرعی حیثیت کے بارے میں علماء کی آراء مختلف ہیں۔ واقعۂ کربلا کے بعد حضرت امام حسینؓ کے اہلِ بیت، جن میں خواتین، بچے اور حضرت امام زین العابدینؒ شامل تھے، کو قیدی بنا کر پہلے کوفہ اور پھر دمشق لے جایا گیا۔ بعد ازاں یزید نے انہیں رہا کر دیا۔ شیعہ روایت کے مطابق، رہائی کے بعد واپسی کے سفر میں قافلہ 20 صفر (اربعین) کے دن کربلا پہنچا، جہاں حضرت جابر بن عبداللہ انصاریؓ بھی حضرت امام حسینؓ کے مزار پر حاضری کے لیے آئے ہوئے تھے۔ اسی مناسبت سے شیعہ حضرات ہر سال اربعین کے موقع پر حضرت امام حسینؓ کی یا...

  The Yesterday of Arab Nations?  Note to help understand this Arab History Chart: Almost all of these nations gained independence less than 100 years ago and many still live with the historical trauma left by their colonial rulers. It is unrealistic to expect these nations to simply stand up for what they actually believe in or start striving for complete political and economic freedom. Their leaders understand that they may not be able to achieve all of their goals immediately. Perhaps it will take another 50, 100 or even 200 years. Also, the "Lawrence factor" is relevant mainly to Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Jordan, not to all Arab nations. The combined population of these nations is approximately 300 million (30 crore). The combined annual economic output (nominal GDP) of these nations is approximately $3.05 trillion. The leaders of these nations generally understand better than most people how to conduct themselves on the international stage, even though many ordinary Muslims...

   God is not a matchmaker. Marriage is your own choice. If every righteous man were guaranteed a righteous wife, there would be no concept of divorce in Islam. Why did Prophet Nuh have a disbelieving wife? Why did Prophet Lut have a disbelieving wife? Why was the righteous Asiya married to Pharaoh, a tyrant? Why was Prophet Isa raised to heaven at the age of 33 without ever having been married? Why did Prophet Ismail divorce his first wife? Why did Caliph Umar divorce three of his wives? The belief that righteous men are guaranteed righteous wives is a widespread misconception among some Muslims. Qur'an 24:26 is not primarily about marriage; it is about false allegations and slander.  "If God is everyone's matchmaker, then how do you explain this? The Qur'an permits up to four wives at a time, yet a former King of Saudi Arabia married around 30 women during his lifetime. Did God personally choose all 30 for him?" Islam teaches us to marry the person of our choice...

    The Most #Successful Man In History?   No one has understood this world better than Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). That is why many intelligent people in Europe and America accept Islam today. Around two billion Muslims around the world are devoted to him and are willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Countless books have been written about this Prophet. His name is mentioned in millions of mosques across the world and the Book (The Quran) revealed to him has been read and recited continuously for nearly 1,500 years. If we look at history carefully, no human being has ever been as successful as this man, nor will anyone ever be. This reality troubles many atheists and sin addicts.   —Sahil Sharifdin Bhat 

# چنگیز خان کو بے وقوف #مسلمان حکمرانوں نے اتنا خطرناک کیسے بنا دیا؟ چنگیز خان نے تقریباً 1218ء میں محمد دوم #خوارزم شاہ کے ساتھ جنگ کے بجائے تجارت اور دوستانہ تعلقات قائم کرنے کی کوشش کی۔ اس نے ایک بڑا تجارتی قافلہ بھیجا، جس میں تقریباً 450 تاجر تھے۔ وہ قیمتی تحائف، ریشم، سونا، چاندی اور دیگر سامان لے کر آئے تھے۔ جب یہ قافلہ اوتراڑ پہنچا تو وہاں کے گورنر، انالچق، جسے غائر خان بھی کہا جاتا ہے، نے ان تاجروں پر جاسوسی کا الزام لگا دیا۔ اس نے تمام تاجروں کو گرفتار کر لیا اور بعد میں ان میں سے اکثر کو قتل کروا دیا، جبکہ ان کا مال بھی ضبط کر لیا۔ چنگیز خان نے فوراً جنگ شروع نہیں کی۔ اس نے معاملہ سفارتی طریقے سے حل کرنے کی کوشش کی۔ اس نے تین سفیر محمد خوارزم شاہ کے پاس بھیجے اور مطالبہ کیا کہ اوتراڑ کے گورنر کو سزا دی جائے، لوٹا ہوا مال واپس کیا جائے، اور اس قتلِ عام کا انصاف کیا جائے۔ لیکن محمد خوارزم شاہ نے نہ صرف یہ مطالبہ مسترد کر دیا بلکہ ایک سفیر کو قتل کروا دیا اور باقی دو کے سر منڈوا کر ذلیل حالت میں واپس بھیج دیا۔ اس زمانے میں سفیروں کو قتل کرنا یا ان کی بے حرمتی کرنا بین الاقوامی ر...

  Love for their wealth is greed. Love for their wisdom is admiration. Love for their status is ambition. Love for their availability is attachment. Love for their power is dependence. Love for their authority is obedience. Love for their generosity is gratitude. Love for their physical beauty is lust. Love for their charm is attraction. Love for their usefulness is convenience. Love for their fame is fascination. Love for their loneliness is sympathy. Love for their suffering is compassion. Love for their innocence is affection. Love for their soul is connection. But when you do not know why you love them, your love is pure.  #4013 —Sahil Sharifdin Bhat
