Beautiful Way Of Life

Ramadhan and Eid

With dry throats, parched lips, swoons of drowsiness, short tempers, and long hot afternoons, Ramadan days went by for most of us. Akin to a long arduous journey imparting to us as Muslims a yearly training in patience and resilience, we never thought we would make it to the peak. Reaching the Peak of Fasting Nevertheless, that peak is now here and is called `Eid! Linguistically, `eid means “that which keeps returning.” It is a time to proclaim Allah’s greatness with takbir (saying, “Allah is the Greatest”), rejoice, eat, drink, meet other Muslims, and rekindle stagnant ties of love and

TAZKIYAH: Spiritual Self-Development and Self-Improvement

Allah did confer a great favour on the Believers when He sent among them a Messenger from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, purifying them. And instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while before that, they had been in manifest error. (Quran 3:164) It is the human nature to desire improvement, to make progress, to aim at achieving goals and succeeding in life. Even other people around us, family and friends, wish us to excel, to win, and to succeed in all our endeavours. Today, those who are involved in organisations and business management, understand very well

TAWBAH: Return to Piety

 “And seek forgiveness of your Lord, and turn unto Him in repentance, for my Lord is indeed full of mercy and loving-kindness.” (Quran 11:90) “He accepts repentance from His servants and pardons their sins. He knows everything you do.” (Quran 42:25) All mankind desire to be successful in life and for Muslims (those who surrender to the Will of the Creator) success in this life and the Hereafter should be and must be their goal in life. But mankind is weak to resolve, heedless, and fluctuating between the evil of the devils and the pure characteristics of the angels. Sometimes

“By The Morning Brightness And By The Night When It Grows Still..

  Today’s thought comes from the Qur’an, Surah 93 (ad-Dhuha) Ayah 1-5: “By the morning brightness and by the night when it grows still, your Lord has not forsaken you, nor does He hate you, and the future will be better for you than the past; your Lord is sure to give that you will be well pleased.” [Qur’an 93:1-5] This surah was revealed in the context that, after the initial revelation, a pause of several months followed in which the Prophet (saw) received no more communication from Allah (swt). The Prophet began to feel depressed, thinking that he had

Your Patience Is Not But From Allah

“And endure you patiently [O Muhammad], your patience is not but from Allah…” Qur’an (16:127) In general, patience is defined as the capacity to endure pain, trouble, and inconvenience, but Islam has added a spiritual dimension to endure hardships for the sake of Allah. Although verse 16:127 is addressing the Prophet (pbuh) who was the paragon of patience, but it sets a criterion for all Muslims. The Prophet’s life was not an easy one. It was full of difficulties and hardships, of trials and tribulations, of pain and suffering. In fact, no one in the history of mankind faced as
