Heal Your Boredom

  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?

  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

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...

Ad-dajjal Will Be Mostly Followed By Women

   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...

شب برات کی اہمیت اسلام میں؟

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.

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...
