  Bismillah ir Rehman ir Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful) Introduction Around three to four months ago, we at Al Khair Foundation started thinking of running an educational program for children aged 6 to 13 years. This endeavour was born out of the success of a previous program focused on teaching young minds about the names of Allah SWT. Upon concluding that program, a realisation struck us: today's children often lack Islamic role models and heroes in their lives, individuals whose faith-powered journeys could inspire them. This insight led to the inception of a program centered around the Ashara Mubashara - the ten companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who were promised paradise by the Prophet himself. Understanding Ashara Mubashara The Ashara Mubashara, or the ten companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who were promised paradise, hold a special place in Islamic history.

We warn them about it, right? InshaAllah, this article of mine is about the same. Before my friends and you all complain, let me share with you all that which I have found good and that which is beneficial for you all. “Ver...

Bismillah Hirrahmaa Nirrahim (In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful) Praise be to Allah, As we live on the face of this earth, we get a lot of questions in our mind specially when we are serious or are hurt. The questions could be anything from Why do cheaters win? Why do strong people crush or exploit the poors? Why does the rich keeps on becoming more rich by using the wrong mean? to Does God exist? All of the above questions can be summarized by one question and that is -  “If God exists, why do people prosper using the wrong mean?” And ya.. thats fair. If God exists, why does he allow wrongdoers to prosper! Why doesn’t he clean this earth and make everyone good! I guess, even I pondered on these questions a lot during my lifetime. I mostly posed this questions to my parents and few spiritual people around me but didn’t get a convincing answer. InshaAllah, in this article I am going to talk about the answer to these questions.
