front of you. Love Allah, Who loves you. Obey Allah, Who invites
you. Give your hand to Allah, Who saves you from a fall. Loving
hearts, spiritual contentment, forgiveness and mercy, are all from
Allah.
Success in Promises of Allah
Allah has infinite treasures of peace, happiness, honor, resources,
success, guidance and every other need of the entire creation. The
entire creation is helpless. No one has power to benefit you or to
harm you. Only Allah knows what is good and what is bad for you.
Allah is Eternal, All Powerful, Absolutely Just, Totally Merciful,
All Loving, All Compassionate, All Gracious and All Forgiving.

sister, and the fabric and foundation of an Islamic society. In

and chastity.
A lesson based on the Noble Quran, Hadith and lifestyle of the pious

honor and dignity of woman. A humble reminder for every sister,
mother and daughter in the Ummah!
Ideal Human Being (Purpose of Life)
Worshipping
our Creator, acquiring knowledge to become an ideal believer,
serving humanity, making efforts in helping fellow human beings to
be loved by Allah should be our mission. Deeds done with a pure
heart, sincere intentions, with humility, love and care fulfills the
mission of life. Imagine a believer who always remembers and
seeks help from his Creator, praises Allah by his tongue, in his
heart, expresses gratitude for His bounties, is patient in
hardships. He supplicates in all earnestness and always has good
intentions. He follows the ways of the beloved Prophet (Peace be
upon him, ) in his outward appearance and in his manners, conduct
and etiquette. He is getting rewards at every step.
Allah's Blessings for you
This
life is a one-time opportunity to achieve everlasting happiness in
the life hereafter. Allah Almighty is showering countless blessings
upon us every day. Every moment has a great potential to achieve
high-ranks in the court of our Creator. Every minute is like a gold
coin. The heart and tongue are gifts from Allah to earn millions of
rewards for the Akhirah. Allah Says: “.. If you are thankful, I Will
give you more ..” [Surah Ibrahim, verse 7]
Brotherhood and Love for Humanity
Islam
teaches universal brotherhood as indicated and expressed in our
daily prayers and our pilgrimage to Makkah. “O mankind! We have
created you from a male and a female, and made you into races and
tribes, that you may identify one another. Surely, the noblest of
you, in Allah’s sight is the one who is most pious of you. Surely,
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.” [Qur’an 49:13]. Islam’s
mission is to serve humanity. Islam teaches us to help the needy
without any discrimination of color, creed, race, nationality or
religion. “The entire humanity is Allah’s family, and Allah loves
him most from among His family, who benefits the family most”. [Mishkawt]
Dua and Power of Allah Seek help from Allah, His treasures are infinite!
Look up to Allah, Who looks after you. Keep facing Allah, Who is in
front of you. Love Allah, Who loves you. Obey Allah, Who invites
you. Give your hand to Allah, Who saves you from a fall…Loving
hearts, spiritual contentment, forgiveness and mercy, are all from
Allah. He is Eternal, All Powerful, Absolutely Just, Totally
Merciful, All Loving, All Compassionate, All Gracious and All
Forgiving.
Reality of Worldly life
This life is a
one-time opportunity to achieve everlasting happiness in the
Hereafter. This world is but a station, not the destination.
It is a place where we are sent to be tested. It is not a place to
become lost in its wonders and temptations and be inactive, lazy or
lethargic. "So did you think that We created you for nothing, and
that you will not be brought back to us?" [23:115]. This life
is all about controlling desires and protecting from the traps of
innerself and the Devil. For a believer, the place for
enjoyment and desires is Paradise – with rivers of milk and honey,
palaces of gold and silver, delicious food and fruits, beautiful
spouse, always happy, always young, always healthy – a great kingdom
for ever and ever for an unending enjoyment and bliss.
Happiness - Cure for Depression
Every tear of a
believer is precious. Allah looks at the sincerity of our hearts and
our actions. “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find
rest” (Surah al - Ra'd 13:28)
“Whoever works righteousness — whether male or female — while he (or
she) is a true believer , verily, to him We will give a good life
(in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and
We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of
what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)” (Surah al-
Nahl 16:97)
“Whenever a Muslim faces fatigue, illness, worry, grief, hurt and
sorrow, even gets pricked by a thorn, Allah in lieu of his
sufferings removes his sins.” (Hadith from Bukhari). "Our anxieties,
depression and worries are all created because we first make the
decisions and then expect Allah Ta'ala to conform; whereas what we
plan and decide is subject to Allah Ta'ala's confirmation." [‘Cure
for depression’ by Shaykh Yunus Patel]
Blessed Ways of
our Noble Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) and Salawaat
(Durood and Salaam)
The Last in the
chain of Divine Messengers of God (ALLAH), he gave to mankind the
universal message of love and respect for all Divine Messengers. He
could not read, write or even sign his name, yet he gave to mankind
the most unique gift-the Quran; a complete code of life and a living
miracle across all spaces and times.
He was born an orphan, lived a very modest life, never had much
worldly means, yet by the power of his character and conduct he
changed the face of earth and the history of mankind. He lived such
a pure and transparent life that even his harshest critics could not
yet find a spot of his character and conduct. He was the living
embodiment of the Final Divine Revelation of God--the Quran.
Say (O Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam)) "O mankind! Verily, I
am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah” [The Holy Quran,
7:158]
For Every Muslim Sister, Youth and Parents
Protecting our youth
from trials of bad environment – What are the fruits of life of
Taqwa? Why is Hijab necessary and protection of eyes needed for
every Muslim family? A lesson based on the Noble Quran, Hadith and
lifestyle of the pious - on the importance of Haya, protection of
eyes and protecting the honor and dignity of woman.
Pious Friendship and its effect on Character
A man adopts the religion of his friend. Every child is born with Islam
but the family and environment affect his way of life. Pious
Friendship shapes the character. The human heart has hidden
treasures of matchless jewels. If found and applied, ordinary people
on the street can become means of guidance to their communities,
fountains of light, flag-bearers of justice and mercy, making the
world a cradle of learning and illuminating the universe with divine
knowledge.
Best Personality - without Pride and Arrogance
Spiritual diseases
corrupt the heart and destroy good deeds. Arrogance is the mother of
all Spiritual diseases. It is extremely important to clean up from
arrogance, malice, jealousy, greed and show-off. Every action we do
and every word we speak is being recorded. For complete success in
this world and in the Hereafter, man needs to reform and change his
life. He should quit the pursuit of desires and temptations and
pursue the life of submission and obedience.
Best Personality - without Anger and Malice
The human heart
has hidden treasures of matchless jewels. If found and applied,
ordinary people on the street can become means of guidance to their
communities, fountains of light, flag-bearers of justice and mercy,
making the world a cradle of learning and illuminating the universe
with divine knowledge.
Spiritual diseases corrupt the heart and destroy good deeds.
Arrogance is the mother of all Spiritual diseases. Anger may causes
loss of intellect, friendship and family relations - losing
opportunities of good deeds. Controlling anger is a great step
towards Islah and character building.
