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...

BismillAllah HirRahman IRahim (In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.) What do we do when we get to know something that is good? We share it. Right? We invite other to it. Right? Remember the last time you saw a good movie or heard a good song… What do we do, we ask our friends if they have seen it. If not, we tell them that they must have a look at it. Thats the natural human attitude, isn't it? Also, remember how we complain to our friends when they know something that could have helped us but they never told us about it. This is the very basic expectation that we have from our friends, isn't it? And on top of that, if we come to know something that our friend is doing which is going to harm him; what do we do? 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. Purpose of ...

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 whe...
