We are not angels

Allah has created mankind weak. We are weak bodily , mentally and in every aspects. Even if we accumulated all available aids  we will have yet plethora of limitations.

Constant refreshment in religious teachings is vital to be consistent in our religion. As we are surrounded by people of various backgrounds and activities. We sometimes follow worldly evil either by seeing them or through their persuasion. We are not angels to be perfect in everything. Allah created us like that. He created us with free will and angels without it . What we can do in those times is to repent and invoke Allah to shower his mercy on us.

Allah tells us in the Quran:

But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allāh will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful. (Quran: 5:39)

But afterwards stay away from the environment that made you sin, as being cohesive again makes you vulnerable for satan. He will make you feel like that Allah(swt) has forgiven your previous sin and so this will be the first sin in your account book.

This comes from mere misconception that its only because of our deeds we enter Jannah(paradise). We enter only if Allah has mercy on us , no matter how much righteous we are. And Allah will look at our hearts , he knows how much sincere and pious are His slaves .

"Narrated Aishah (radhi-yallaahu 'anhaa): The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said, “Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and receive good news because one's good deeds will not make him enter Paradise.” They asked, “Even you, O Allah's Messenger?” He said, “Even I, unless and until Allah protects me with His pardon and His Mercy."
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 474


Actually in the first time repenting we will come to know about its acceptance or rejection only on the day of judgement. This fear of uncertainity has to be a guard for repeating sins.

At the same time don’t lose hope regarding mercy of Allah, as he is the most loving and most merciful. Your beating heart is the proof for his mercy. Man, your stay here is for a little time, maximum 100 years.Hundered years approximately equals to 8,76,600 hours. You can decide your destiny , and it is either Paradise or blazing hell.

Abstaining from all sorts of sins is the real quality of a muthaqi (pious). May Allah (swt) bless us to be a muthaqi. Ameen.

We all are from Allah(swt) and certainly to Him is our return.

Ward off Boasting:


                 Boasting in friend circles today a hobby for some people  .  They adhere this in order to be noticed or for complacency  or to be a hero among them.  There are various ways for showing off  but all  are dependent on how rich you are. Some people are very tricky and smart to advertise themselves , they may seems to us  like  smart,  charming  , lucky  and so  we will try to imitate them.  The trap is here. You will lose your stature as yourself. The person who boast was certainly not genuine and truthful , a genuine man doesn’t boast or  try to act like an ideal man . Any person's  behaviour excellence is in his simplicity in life, humbleness, and modesty.
                     The hip-hop  generations are  like flashing flies they just  depicts  eccentricity . Nevertheless they  might be completely blank about the world's voyage , they might keep telling high things such that  to manifold their value to others. People around them for years  will understand the truth but the  new guys will trust them , and that what they  requires.
                       These hooligans keep yelling about the dozens of  girl/boy  friends they  had  relations and the variety of liquors tasted , drugs consumed,  hotels stayed, places visited, flights travelled, cars owns  what to say they will keep chanting  from ant to elephant  to spice them up.  
                       Believe me  you are not going to have any sort of help from those people, neither worldly nor religiously , putting head infront of them will be like hell to believers  .  So build up friendship with good personalities.  Avoid nutcases so  to protect yourself. They  are not pondering on their lives  , the wondering universe  and  they are the  real retards.
They opted life of this world instead of  life here after.
We believers have to think about the admonition in Quran which says:
                     He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself. And mentions the name of his Lord  and prays . but you prefer the worldly life. While the  hereafter is better and more enduring. (Holy Quran:87:14-17).
                    So beware my friends  . Purify  your hearts by remembering one and only God Almighty. Last but not the least do include me in your duās . 

Imaan



Our Imaan has thus flaw in it,
1. If do not keep five times a day prayer.
2. If we start eat food without by the name of God(Bismillahi rahmani raheem)
3. If we didn’t gaze down our eyes from looking at opposite genders,
4. If we enjoy movies and music programmes.
5. If we are lazy.
6. If we are talking like blah blah blah.
7. If we are greedy and jealous . We are allowed to be jealous only for two things
a. Knowledge
b. Imaan (faith). Because both will benefit muslim ummah as a whole and individually.
8. If we talk lies.
9. If we follow speculations.
10. If we are unjust to our parents, siblings and other people who deals to us justly.
11. If we are untidy.
12. If we are impatient
13. If we are proud and conceit.
14. If we are unhelpful to poor and needy.
15. If we are cruel.
16. If we didn’t introduce Islam to non muslims. Because its an act of mercy and the greatest of socialworks , saving others from hell fire.

Our Porphet Muhammed (s.a.w):

# He never ever criticized any type of food. He eats if he likes it and not if he dislikes.
# He always starts with Islamic greeting Salam Alaikum (May the peace of Allah be upon you) with whomever he meets.
# He always used to sit with poor people.
# In a meeting he used to sit in the last available seat.

# He was the most charitable among the people.
# He never say "NO" to someone who asks help.
# He used to be patient with ignorants and bore the insults.
# He used to talk in a pleasant manner and grabbed the hands of whom he spoke. He never holdback his hand before the other do.

# He used to listen people's talks carefully.
# If feels anything against his conscience, he showed dislike on face.
# He never beaten anybody unless he engaged in war.
# He never shown proud and over joy when he triumphs.

# He disinclined towards the worldly life.
# Telling lies is a matter of anger for him.
# He likes consistency in all actions and deeds even if it is small .
# He used to shorten the length of congregation prayer and lengthen if he is praying alone.

# He used to place his right hand on his right cheek while he sleep.
# When he hears something which pleases him, he used to thank Allah by prostration.
# If heard something which displeases him , he used to say ' all glorifies to Allah who blessed to fulfill good deeds' . And if he finds something nasty, he says,' glorify to Allah on all occasions'.

Stick to Prayer:



I m reminding all my brothers and sisters to strictly perform five times a day Swalath(). This will certainly help us to remain calm and serene. Focus your mind to Salat completely while perform.

I remember an incident in history that, Urwa bin Zubair, Grandson of Aboobacker Siddeeq (r.a) that he became in such a state that one of his legs to be amputated inorder to cure his ailment. So the doctor tried to give him a glass of wine as anesthesia, so that he can cut Urwa's leg. But he rejected the wine instead told doctor to cut his leg while he was doing his prayer so that he will not feel the pain of cutting. He was so involved in his prayer that he wasn’t able to acknowledge what was happening in his own body. The doctor chopped the leg as he said . This shows the depth of Imaan Urwa bin Zubair(r.a) had.

Think my brothers and sisters where we stand among muslims , we have to accept that we cant become like the Sahabas as they are the best of Ummah. But shouldn’t we show atleast 1 percent of that. For us , its only then when we stand up to pray all the useless things in world gathers up to our mind. This should be changed.


As Prayer is the second most important pillar in Islam after Shahadah, we must give its importance, for that, learn the meaning of Arabic dua's , Surah Fatiha its explanations and also the meaning of Surahs which we often recite.This will help us to concentrate on our congregation to a great extend. May Allah bless us to focus on our prayers.

Young muslim brothers and sisters:


We all know that its not easy to practice Islam in a world in which each and every section of the arena promotes flesh trade, grave intersex relationship, fashion, luxury, music, movies, unhealthy games and all kind of dirty rubbishes. All those can grab us through television, internet, mobile, friendcircles, parties, outings , picnics, class rooms, workplaces, hostels etc. A careless move for a second or minute will make us a sinner.
Allah tells in the Quran:
Do men think that they will be left alone on saying "we believe", and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them , and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.(29:2-3)
Yes He do test us. He will test in such a way that our faith(maan) will shake horribly . We are unquestionably confident about the truthness of our religion but the uncontrollable desires, the impatience, and the greed of the human mind will be the testing factor.
Be sure and firm in mind that we will not mortgage the eternal life of paradise for mere temporary worldly things.
On the day of judgement when  the sun is about 1 feet above  the people we  will cry out  unable to withstand the immense heat. Three group from the people will get the shade of throne of Allah , and they will be in a state of cool. One of the group were,their speciality is, they rejected a call for fornication at their beaming youth by only fearing Allah.
We must have utmost faith in The Almighty, and be in mind that He is testing us to be strong in our religion , and do remember that there are millions of young muslim who are going through diverse ordeal. We all have one aim that is "to win jannah(paradise)", one way of life '' that is Islam", and one God who is Allah. Do pray to Allah particularly for the young muslims around the globe to strengthen our faith and to keep out ourselves from all kinds of sins.
