Dealing with hardships using the miraculous Quran

Bismillah Hirrahmaa Nirrahim (In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

Its quite amazing to see how life takes turns in our lives. At one time you will find yourself on top of the world and really low at other times. Everyone goes through this may it be the king or the beggar. 

Realizing the above two lines will help us get over the biggest troubles in life and this is Allah's SWT way of teaching we humans that you don't need to be a kings to be happy.

I am mostly known to be very happy; carrying a smile on my face regardless of whats happening in my life. I don't share the hardships in my life with anyone except Allah (SWT) because after all, it is Allah (SWT) who will get me out of it; Nobody else can and this is the truth.

I was recently going through a bad phase in my life so much so that I thought that I am a total waste. I don't deserve anything in life and will fall on my face soon. Almost everyone of us goes through this phase where everybody around us demoralizes us by saying what we are doing is wrong and not correct and you should change and you should become more practical.

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah (SWT) I have a wonderful habit of reading the Holy Qur'an everyday.  There are lots of benefits of it and I am going to talk about only one such benefit in this article.

When things are going right for you, you tend to think that whatever you are doing is right and this may lead you adapt some 'not so good' practices. It happened with me too. Though I was reading the Holy Qur'an daily, I kind of started taking it too easy and thought I know all this, I have read it many times. But this hard time in my life Alhamdulillah helped me recall some of the teachings of my Ustads -

"If you want to talk to Allah, offer Namaz but if you want Allah to talk to you, read the Holy Qur'an"

"There is not a single problem of your life of which you won't find a solution in the Holy Qur'an"

and many more.

This also helped me recall, how everyday the Holy Qur'an use to touch my life when I use to read it attentively. This was enough for me to get up and pick up the Holy Qur'an. I opened it and started reading from where I left it CH:4 V:26 -

"Allah would explain to you and guide you by the examples of those who were before you, and would turn to you in mercy. Allah is Knower, Wise."

SubhanAllah… this indeed is a Miracle. This didn't just happen once, this happens every time to me and millions around the world. I don't want to explain how I understood my situation and what examples came in front of me because you will learn your way with different examples. After all this is the beauty of the Holy Qur'an, it touches everyone regardless of the age,race,tribe, time, etc. InshaAllah, Allah would turn to us in mercy.

A School Event and a Wake-Up Call: Teaching Our Kids About Salah

By
  Bismillah ir Rehman ir Raheem   (In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful). "Those who establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity, and have (in their hearts) the assurance of the Hereafter. These are on (true) guidance from their Lord: and these are the ones who will prosper." (Quran 31:4-5) Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a function at my kids’ school that resembled an Anand Mela . It was a vibrant event where students set up stalls to sell homemade food items and organize games. The school had done an excellent job of organising the event, with staff members guiding groups of 3 to 4 students at each stall. The food options were delightful—paani puri, shawarma, chicken roast, veg burgers—and the games were just as engaging, from tossing balls into glasses to catching (toy) fish within a time limit. We attended the event as a family, and Alhamdulillah, we had a great time. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy, creating cheri...

Tarawih... Shame on us!!

By
Bismillah irRahman irRahim In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Photo taken from Dr. Bilal Philips's Facebook post On the first of Ramadan this year, I went to offer Tarawih at a new place, not the usual place I offer Tarawih. This place is not a mosque but just used for Tarawih during Ramadan. Tarawih here is offered quite late and is meant for doctors, office workers, shop owners, etc who can’t make it to the Mosque for Tarawih (Because Tarawih at most of the mosques is around 8-8:30 PM and they generally shut the shops/clinic by 9:30 PM). Due to some unavoidable work, I was going to miss Isha and Tarawih at the nearest Mosque (or any Mosque for that matter) so I found out that I can catch Isha and Tarawih at this place at 10 PM. I was really glad to find this and was looking forward for Namaz. When the Imam started with the Isha prayer, I was really pleased with his recitation, probably one of the best I have heard recently. Then came the sh...

We Maharashtrians

By
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Specially written for the so called outsiders in Pune Praise be to Allah. I would like to begin with defining the word Maharashtrian. Maharashtrian according to me doesn't mean someone with a specific religious ideology, I define Maharashtrian like I define an Indian so Maharashtrian, I thus define as someone who is born & brought-up in Maharashtra. Once this is clear let us go ahead. I have been in Pune for almost a year now, and been a Maharashtrian as well as a practicing Muslim I feel it’s mandatory to clarify all the following allegations made against we Maharashtrians. 1. Maharashtrians don't speak any other language than Marathi India is a vast country with diverse cultures, there are more than 100 languages spoken here. I am proud to be a citizen of India. Now being a vast country with so many languages spoken, for the purpose of efficient administration our states are divided o...
