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.

The decision of Hajj: My Journey to Hajj with My Father

By
<Thanks to my wife for this sketch> Since I can remember, my mother had always expressed her deep desire to embark on the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj. It was a dream she held close to her heart since her childhood, an aspiration she longed to fulfill. Despite traveling outside India to places like Canada, Singapore and Malaysia, she yearned for Hajj to be her first journey beyond the borders of her homeland. However, as the saying goes, "We plan and Allah also plans, and He is the best planner" (Quran 8:30). Allah had different plans for my mother. A few years later, she passed away, and the opportunity to fulfil her lifelong dream of Hajj slipped away. Her departure left a void in our lives, and my father's health began to deteriorate. In 2018, my father suffered a severe heart attack, and the doctors were uncertain if he would survive. By the grace of Allah, he pulled through, defying the odds. As his health remained fragile, the weight of my mother's unfulfille...

Surah Nisa - Day 2 - Orphans and marriage commands

By
Bismillah hir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Today, I studied verse number 2,3 & 4. Here is the english translation of the three verses. 4:2 -  And give unto orphans their property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a great sin. 4:3 -  And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. 4:4 -  And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it,...

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...
