It is narrated from Hazrat Umar (RA) that he said: We were once sitting in a circle around the Holy Prophet (PBUH) when a man came there who was wearing very white clothes and then very black. He seemed to have come from a long way away, but there was no sign of travel on him. He came close to the Holy Prophet (PBUH), touched his knees with his knees and placed his hands on his legs and said: O Messenger of Allah (PBUH), tell me about Islam. He said: Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah, the Exalted, and that Muhammad (PBUH) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger.

The man asked, "O Prophet of Allah, tell me about Islam." Hesaid,  "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah, and to testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." He said, "You have spoken the truth(Typically, when a questioner asks a question about something, it means that he does not know about it, and even if he confirms his answer, it is truly surprising.)

 Then he asked, "Tell me about faith, He said, "Faith is to believe in Allah, His Messenger, Muhammad, and His Books, and His Angels, and to believe in the resurrection after death, and to believe in destiny. The good and the bad are from Allah." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the Day of Judgment."  He said, "The one who is asked this question does not know more than the one who asks."

Hearing this, the man said "Tell me about its signs." He said, "The slave girl will give birth to her mistress,( This means that children will be disobedient to their parents.      and you will see that people who herd goats barefoot will build big, tall buildings and compete with each other in them." Then the man left.  After a few days, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked me, "O Umar, do you know who that person was?" He said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "He was Gabriel, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." He came to tell you about Islam.  This hadith was narrated by Bukhari and Muslim.

We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act upon this hadith. Ameen.

People have different opinions about human life.  The kind of situation a person is in; the same opinion he has about his life. For example, if a person is poor and is short of even two daily breads and is on the verge of starvation, he considers life a great burden and torment for himself. On the

 contrary, if someone’s circumstances are good, he is rich and has a wealth of luxury, he considers life a beautiful dream and a bed roses for himself.

And if a middle-class person is healthy and is managing his household expenses well, then life is a blessing for him. On the contrary, if a person is suffering from a fatal disease and there is no way to get rid of it, then even if he has abundant worldly wealth and means, living life is a painful thing for him.

However, here are some examples of human life that show what kind of opinion people have about their lives.

The question is, what is the real reality of life and for what purpose was man brought into existence from nothingness?

According to Islamic teachings, the purpose of man's creation is to worship of Allah Almighty, as the holy   Quran makes mention"

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me., nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

From these verses, it is clear that the purpose of creation of humans and jinn is the same, namely, the worship of Allah Almighty. That is, both of them were created to worship Allah Almighty. However, the question is whether angels are sufficient for the worship of Allah Almighty, because an angel who has been in a state of bowing since the beginning of time will remain in that state until the Day of Judgment, and an angel who has been in a state of prostration will remain in that state of prostration from the beginning until the Day of Judgment. For angels, dressing, sleeping, eating, and drinking are all considered as acts of worship, and they have no other work except the worship of Allah Almighty.

﴾57﴿  Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might. ﴿

From these verses, it is clear that the purpose of creation of humans and jinn is the same, namely, the worship of Allah Almighty. That is, both of them were created to worship Allah Almighty. However, the question is whether angels are sufficient for the worship of Allah Almighty, because an angel who has been in a state of bowing since the beginning of time will remain in that state until the Day of Judgment, and an angel who has been in a state of prostration will remain in that state of prostration from the beginning until the Day of Judgment. For angels, dressing, sleeping, eating, and drinking are all considered as acts of worship, and they have no other work except the worship of Allah Almighty.

Similarly, the jinn, who were created from air that is like hot air, have no need to do business or build a house. Their job is also to worship Allah Almighty. Then the question is, how is the worship of man different from both of them and what is the characteristic of man's worship that distinguishes it from both of them?

The answer is that man does not only worship Allah Almighty like the angels, but he also has countless other worries and sorrows, and when he is satisfied with them and then worships Allah Almighty, it is a difficult task. Similarly, as a husband, he should fulfill the rights and duties of his spouse or children and not be unjust in any way so that no one has a chance to complain. Similarly, when he does any business, he should keep Islamic principles in mind and should not indulge in any wrongdoings such as misrepresentation, fraud, adulteration, or hoarding, and should only earn lawful income and not mix it with unlawful income. It is as if he spends his entire life in accordance with the commands of Allah Almighty, as proven by the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then this will be considered his true worship, and he will be rewarded and punished for it.

But this task is not that easy for him because there are three enemies who are always with him and prevent him from doing good and encourage him to do evil deeds, for example, Satan Iblis and his soul, Amara and Khanas. These three are mentioned in the Holy Quran, for example: Quran makes mentionabout Satan''Lo! he is an open enemy for you. ﴾168﴿  He enjoineth upon you only the evil and the foul, and that ye should tell concerning Allah that which ye knot"2:169

And say about "nafse ammarah"

I do not exculpate myself. Lo! the (human) soul enjoineth unto evil, save that whereon my Lord hath mercy. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful" 12:53  and says about  "khannas "  Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,

 ﴾1﴿  ﴾2﴿  The god of mankind, ﴾3﴿  From the evil of the sneaking whisperer, ﴾4﴿  Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,    ﴾5﴿  Of the jinn and of mankind. ﴾6﴿   And the king

What is the Islamic viewpoint point about the reality of human life? (2)

 These three enemies remain with man all the times and are constantly trying to mislead him in24 hours a day. Their job is to prevent him from doing good deeds and to entice him towards evil.  Their job is to whisper various things into his heart. It is not easy to get rid of them, but a person has to work hard for it. 

Rather, according to the Islamic perspective, these three enemies are not only hinder every good deed that Allah Almighty has commanded to be done and every evil deed that Allah Almighty has commanded not to be done, but also hinder every good deed that a person encounters in his life in 24 hours, such as rights and duties, business matters, or common events. They hinder all of these and direct him to live his entire life in a wrong way.  And man follows their instructions without any hesitation.  And then the amazing thing about it is that whenever a bad thought comes to man's mind or the thoughts  of doing something wrong comes to mind,  they know that man is thinking this now  and they immediately start trying to mislead him because these three are a part of man's body and are inside man. Therefore, man thinks that this is a matter of my own mind and my mind also wants to do this thing and thus he immediately starts following their instructions.

Therefore, in order to avoid the whispers and bad instructions of these three enemies and to live one's life in the right way, a person needs a great struggle, a struggle that is continuous and never-ending.   In this sense, the real purpose and meaning of human life is that life is a continuous and great struggle. The meaning of continuous is that if one has to face a temporary failure in achieving any goal in life, then a person should not lose courage  and sit still, but should get up anew and start his struggle and trust in Allah Almighty. Because as it is said that, " walking is a prerequisite to reach any destination."  No matter how difficult and difficult the path is, and no matter how slow the pace of walking, one will still reach one's destination.  Because there is a saying that" slow and steady wins the race". Therefore, this is the real purpose of human life and the true ascension of life. So to pass a sucsesslife i.e. to act upon al the commands of Allah according to the good example of the

 Holy Prophet PBUH, a man should do such a struggle.

All of the above because Allah Ta'ala has declared that the Jews and Hindus are the intense in their hatred towards Islam and Muslims. 

[5:82] You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and polytheists and the most gracious to be those who call themselves Christian. That is because there are priests and monks among them and because they are not arrogant.

The holy Qur’an reveals,” Say He is Allah the one, Allah, the eternally besought of all, He begets not, nor was begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him” (Al-Ikhlas:4)

These verses reveal that Allah is one and also there is none in the entire universe comparable to Allah Almighty. That is why He is free from all the qualities found in the creatures i.e. being a body, dimension, weight, essence width etc. Also there is no specific direction or place can be fixed in the entire universe that where He exists because He is the Omnipresent. But as His highest respect, it is the belief of Muslim Ummah that He exists on the throne situated over the Highest heaven as the holy Qur’an reveals, “A revelation from Him who created the earth and the high heavens, The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne “(Ta,Ha:5). According to the commentators “Istwa-alal-Arsh” means He took power over the universe not “sitting on the throne.”

Now the question is: when a believer establishes worship, what should be his concept about Allah that where He exists? For example, whether He exists in the Mosques, Baitullah Sharif or in Bait-tul-Muqaddas? He  exists there! But

 According to the majority of Muslim scholars, Allah Almighty “exists” in the hearts of the believers in real as long as they pay full attention to Him at the time of worship. That is why heart has great importance in Islamic teachings as the holy Qur’an reveals about the Infidels of Mecca who did not accept Islam by hearts that, “Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom” (Al-Baqarah: 7). Also reveals, “Will they then not mediate on the Qur’an or are there locks on the hearts? (Mohammad:24)

The holy Prophet PBUH) said,” there is a piece of meat in the human body that, if it is right (in guidance), then all the body is right, and if it leads astray, then the whole body will lead astray. Beware! Beware! It is the heart” (Al-Mishkat). And, if someone wants to accept Islam, he bears a witness that there is no deity but Allah and Mohammad is the messenger of Allah”. And if he is dump or Deaf and cannot speak correctly, then the witness of his heart will be reliable and it will be known when he acts upon Islamic teachings.

The holy Prophet (PBUH), when asked a question about “Ehsan” replied that,” Ehsan is that you worship Allah Almighty as if you are seeing Him, and if it not so, then (imagine) that He is seeing you”.

 (Bokhar, Muslim) This Hadith proves that the worship of Allah Almighty will be performed in the correct manner when the attention is fully focused on Allah Almighty. It is not the case that a servant stands in front of Allah Almighty and worships Him, but his attention is on domestic matters or business matters and he is busy solving these problems. In this way, his worship will not be performed in the correct manner. Because in this Hadith, the definition of " EHSAN"(goodness) is that, anyone should worship that Allah Almighty as if he is seeing to Him, and if he cannot do so, then he should reflect in his heart and imagine that Allah Almighty is seeing to me Because it usually happens that when a person is praying, his heart is filled with a multitude of thoughts. Sometimes he is busy with the business of his horses or something else, or he is discussing domestic matters with his wife. In this way, worship is not performed with complete attention and humility. Therefore, special care should be taken to ensure that the mind is free from unnecessary thoughts while praying and that the person's attention is completely focused on Allah Almighty.

And, on the other hand, if a believer offers prayer but his attention is towards the business, domestic affairs or any other matters; then, despite his prayer will be offered, but without the essence of worship.

It means that he is offering prayer apparently, but in fact he is busy in doing his business etc.

A faithful believer always remains in the position of offering prayer. It does not mean that he offers prayers only and does nothing else except it. But he earns his daily bread and pays his duty to other necessary works also, he does all these works including prayers also but keeping in his mind that Allah is seeing him and is aware of all his actions. The holy Qur’an reveals,

”Lo! Man was created anxious

Fretful when evil befalleth him “

And, when good befalleth him, grudging;

Save worshippers

Who are constant at their worship

And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged

For the beggar and the destitute”; (Al-Ma’arij:25)

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said,” seven Muslims will be under the shadow of the throne of Allah at the Day of Judgment when there will be no shadow but the shadow of it.

Among them there will be the one who’s heart always “remains hanging” in the mosque that when he comes out of it after establishing one prater, he waits to hear the voice of Azan for other prayer”. (Al-Mishkat)

May Allah give us power to do all our works according to the teachings of Islam keeping in the mind that ALLAH is seeing us for all the times.

Now a days’ average human life’s yea according to this, sixty-five days are counted in a year. While the life in the hereafter after, there is another scale of counting is running as the holy Quran reveals” O Muhammad,] they challenge thee to hasten the coming upon them of [God’s] chastisement: but God never fails to fulfill His promise - and, behold, in thy Sustainer’s sight, a day is like a thousand years of your reckoning” Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) 22:47

So, according to this counting, one year of that l life is equal to three lakhs and fifty-five thousands days in a year. Therefore, the life of ‘Ahrat’ and ( ,aalime barzakh’ (a period or state between death and resurrection) is very long and endless. Now the question is: what are the benefits and losses of the long life for a Muslim or the infidels? So, for the faithful believers the holy Quran reveals, ”

for, [if they did, they would know that] the life of this world is nothing but a passing delight and a play - whereas, behold, the life in the hereafter is indeed the only [true] life: if they but knew this! Al-'Ankabut (The Spider) 29:64 “Also,: Yet those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds We shall bring into gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide beyond the count of time: this is, in truth, God's promise - and whose word could be truer than God's? An-Nisa (The Women) 4:57 Also, the Muslims have been given glad tiddling’s by saying.” [AND on Judgment Day] God will say:

'Today, their truthfulness shall benefit all who have been true to their word: theirs shall be gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide beyond the count of time; well-pleased is God with them, and well-pleased are they with Him: this is the triumph supreme.' Al- Ma'idah (The Table Spread) 5:119 And those who are the sinful Muslims i.e. they commit sins major or miners, and they fear Allah Almighty and hope for His endless mercy, and they want to offer tauba (repentance), then Allah will forgive their ins, as the holy Quran reveals

,” SAY: “[Thus speaks God:] ‘O you servants of Mine who have transgressed against your own selves! Despair not of God’s mercy: behold, God forgives all sins - for, verily, He alone is much-forgiving, a dis-penser of grace!’ ” Az-Zumar (The Groups) 39:53 And about the disbeliever the holy Quran says, “ those who disbelieve and wrong themselves—surely Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to any path Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah have certainly strayed far away. ([al-Nisa’ 4:168-169). And in Soorat al-Ahzaab,

where He says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, Allaah has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell).

So, this is necessary for the disbelievers that they should think about their destination and abode in the hereafter?

Therefore, according to the holy Quran there are only two abode in the Hereafter for human being, the Paradise and the Hellfire. So, the real successful one is he whom Allah Almighty saves from the fire and enters the paradise as

the holy Quran reveals,” Every human being is bound to taste death: but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full [for whatever you have done] - whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph: for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion Al-Imran (The Family of Imran) 3:185

And for the faithful beliers,

It is reality that the journey of the hereafter is long and everlasting so, it is necessary for the faithful believers that they should get the good provision for this journey, and

according to the holy Quran, the best provision is for it is only, taqwa, the holy Quran reveals,”

The pilgrimage shall take place in the months appointed for it. And whoever undertakes the pilgrimage in those [months] shall, while on pilgrimage, abstain from lewd speech, from all wicked conduct, and from quarrelling; and whatever good you may do, God is aware of it. And make provision for yourselves - but, verily, the best of all provisions is God-consciousness: remain, then, conscious of Me, O you who are endowed with insight! ( Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2:197).

May  Allah Almighty give us power to do so, Amin.

The Holy Quran reveals…'' Verily We! We have sent it down on the night of Power. isThe night of Power is better than a thousand months. ﴾3﴿  The angels and the spirit descend therein by the command of their Lord with His decrees for every affair. ﴾4﴿  It is all peace, until the rising of the dawn

" ergence of dawn." (Surah Al-Qadr, verse 5)

It is known from this Surah that the Holy Quran was revealed on the Night Power, in the month of Ramadan, and it contains a blessed night that is better than a thousand months. The reason for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the long lifespans of the previous prophets (peace be upon them), saying, "They lived more than a thousand years or less." In comparison, the lifespans of this nation are approximately seventy or eighty years, or more or less.

Therefore, the worship of those people (including prayer, fasting, and other acts of devotion) was greater than the worship of this nation. So, God Almighty gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) glad tidings of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is better than a thousand months and is equivalent to approximately eighty-three years. That is, whoever experiences Laylat al-Qadr, their worship on that night is equivalent to eighty-three years.

The question now is: Is it the 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramadan? There are differing opinions regarding the date of Laylat al-Qadr. Most scholars predict that it falls on an odd-numbered night of the last ten nights of Ramadan, based on the hadith narrated by Aisha (may God be pleased with her): The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Seek Laylat al-Qadr on an odd-numbered night of the last ten nights of Ramadan." [Narrated by al-Bukhari]

Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): She asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what supplication she should make if she were to witness Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree). He replied:

"O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me."

Meaning: O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me. We can also recite this supplication repeatedly throughout Ramadan:

"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I seek forgiveness from Allah. We ask You for Paradise and we seek refuge in You from Hellfire."

Therefore, every believer should strive in worship, especially during the last ten nights of Ramadan, to attain Laylat al-Qadr. Amen.

Bye Mohammed Rafique EteSame  Ramazan-ul-Mubarak is a most sacred and holy month of the Muslim calendar. It brings good fortune and endless blessings of Allah Almighty. It is a month of forbearance that’s rewards is only Heaven. (Bokhari) Act of fasting was prescribed in all the Shriah of the Holy Prophets (May peace and Mercy of Allah be upon them) and its main purpose is to make Muslims pious and God-fearing as mentioned in the Holy Qura,n “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil),(The Cow: 183). The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that the first ten days of Ramazan-nul-Mubarak are for the bounty of Allah , second ten days are for the forgiveness, and the last ten days declare the salvation from Hell to those who keep fasting. (Bokhari, Mishkat-ul-Masabeeh ) He (PBUH) said the former sins of the believers are forgiven who keeps fasting with faith and a sense of accountability. And when the first night of Ramazan falls, an announcement made on behalf of Allah that He Loves him who loves He and He meets him who try to meet He, and Allah will forgive him who seeks forgiveness. Then Allah Orders the twin recording angels to write only virtues and not to write evils and to rub off their former sins .(Zubda-tul-Waizeen) A distinctive feature of Ramazan is that the Holy Quran was revealed in this month from the “Lauh-e-Mahfooz” to the first sky. Whence, it was revealed on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the period of 23 years according to the need of the time. Allah Almighty Orddains,” The month of Ramazan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance and the criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. (The Cow:185) Qur’an is an authentic source of Islamic dogmas, worships, affairs and lays the foundation stone of Islamic legislation. It reveals an abridged outline for individual and social life and guides to all aspects of life in principle. Recitation of the Holy Qur’an gives the mental and spiritual peace and tranquility. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that when the month of Ramazan falls all of the evil design, Satans and Jinns tightened in the chains and doors of Hell closed, and a voice from the Heaven calls “O ye who committing evils stop yourself !and O the well wisher! Increase yourself in virtues. And a large number of the people deserving for Hell, are Freed every night. (Tirmadhi, Nasai, Ibn-e-Maja) Ramzan-ul-Mubark is going on. So We should count for such a blessed month and keep fasting.

 EVERY MAN has some hidden fats that, even IF HE wants to hide them, they do not hide but remain visible. 

For example, if a person is something different inside and something else outside, then whatever he is hiding inside remains visible, no matter how much he tries to hide it,

. His movements, postures, mannerisms, and the way he speaks betray his inner self, and the onlookers understand that something is being hidden because the face tells a lot.  The inner state of a person can be seen on his face because the eyes are the window to the soul. If a person has a secret relationship with someone, when they come face to face, the way they talk and look at each other, immediately tells that there is something between them... It usually happens that when someone has a secret relationship with someone, those who are watching are suspicious of them at first, then they pay special attention to them and keep a secret watch, and finally their secret is revealed and they are caught red-handed.

The most important thing is that there are some things that a person tries to hide throughout his life, but they cannot be hidden and remain visible because a person is prone to sin, he is not an angel, and under the temptation of the ego and Satan, he commits such immoral and unlawful acts that are not capable of being revealed, but they remain visible because Allah, the Exalted, has appointed two angels with every person who keep writing down his good or bad deeds. They are not visible to man, but they keep writing down the deeds that a person does in a 24-hour period. Allah, the Exalted, says: "You deny the reward (9) while over you are appointed watchers (10) the Most High, the Recorder (82;12) who know what you do."  And on the Day of Judgment, when a person is given this book of his deeds, he will be amazed that he did not leave out any of my words or deeds, and everything is written in it. Then he will say, "O Allah, Your angels have forgotten that I did not do these things."  Then the Quran says: To-day We shall seal upon their mouths, and their hands will speak Unto us, and their feet will bear witness of that which they have been earning. ( Yaseen 65) ﴾65﴿   Therefore, the Sharia will definitely be met because every action has a reaction and every action has a reward, and the Day of Judgment is the day when the good and the bad will receive their full reward for their deeds, and the reckoning will be made one by one, and all people will receive justice from Allah Al almighty and no one will be wronged.  ‘‘(الزلزال: ۸)

Therefore, those who think that they will escape prosecution despite oppressing someone. Or that there is no one to question them for suppressing someone's right or that there is no one to hold them accountable for what they are doing, are deluded and self-deceiving.

Because the truth of their actions will be revealed because the work of truth is not to hide but to be revealed.

the function of the truth and reality is not to hide but to remain visible. Because the secret and royal ''witnesses are watching over man.

We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to fulfill all His commands according to the good example of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that we can avoid all kinds of troubles on the Day of Judgment. Amen.

Because the one who has no friend feels lonely and deserted. Therefore, he is always in search of a friend who is sincere, honest and selfless and is ready to sacrifice everything for the happiness of his friend.

And if by chance someone finds such a friend, he feels that a spring has come in his life, like buds sprout, flowers bloom and the colors of the rainbow scatter in the air.

But the question is, is it possible to find such a friend in this day and age? Although it is not impossible, it is certainly difficult because usually there are selfish friends who cut the roots of their friends and try to fulfill their own meaning, but in this selfish situation, there is also a true friend of man who stays with his servants forever.

He who is not seen but helps his friends and does good to them, who is powerful, has authority and knows how to fulfill his command.

Yes, this friend is Allah Almighty! Who is the owner and creator, the king of the universe and the true friend of man.

The Holy Quran states this, “Allah is the friend of the believers. He brings the young out of the darkness of disbelief into the light of guidance” (2.257). And he said, “Have they taken other friends besides Allah? Indeed, Allah is the protecting friend, He will give life to the dead, and He is capable of all things.” (Al-Shura: 09)

And He said, “If they turn away, then know that Allah is your Friend, the Great Protector, the Great Helper.” (Al-Anfal: 38).

The question is, what is the correct definition of friendship and who is called friendship? So a friend is someone who says that whatever I have is not mine but my friend's. Whenever and whatever my friend asks me for, I will immediately give it to him whenever he asks for it

.....

Yes, this is the real definition of friendship, but one thing is worth considering, that the limit of friendship is within the scope of reason and Sharia.  The purpose of this is that the definition of friendship is that which is permitted by Sharia, that a friend will ask his friend for the same thing that Sharia and reason have permitted him. That is, if his friend is a rich man, then if the other friend is poor, then he should not say to him, "Give me this much money, brother," or if his friend is a single man, then he should not say to his friend, "Brother, give me your daughter or sister in marriage."

 Therefore, the limit of friendship is within the scope of Sharia and reason.

Allah, the Exalted, the Almighty, who is a mighty ruler, the King, and has no partner. It is beyond the human intellect to estimate the power, might, and glory of Allah Almighty, His great authority, and His command over man, as Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “Say: O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom. You grant the kingdom to whomever You will and take it from whomever You will, and honor whomever You will and humiliate whomever You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are Able to do all things.” And He said: “He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (22) He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. The King, the Pure, the Giver of Peace, the Guardian, the Almighty, the Great. Exalted is He that they should not associate partners with Him. (23) He is Allah, the Creator. The Creation And the Inventor, the Maker of forms. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (The Gathering) 59:23

Despite the greatness, majesty, and power of Allah, the Almighty But before that, it is important to know that Allah, the Almighty, who is the true and sincere friend of man, then when a man will establish friendship with him, he must find out what his friend wants from him, what Allah, the Almighty, being the true friend of man, gives to his other friend, man, and what is not in him. But the surprising thing is that despite all these things, he does not have one thing and he demands it from man. This is a very surprising thing. Such a great king has everything but one thing that he does not have. What is it that man has but Allah does not have? Allah, the Almighty, has great power, strength, greatness and greatness. He has everything but one thing that man does not have. What is it that man has? It is humility, modesty, crying, grumbling, expressing his helplessness, helplessness and compulsion, and prostrating himself before Him, calling upon Him, and expressing that you are everything and I am nothing. I am not, if you want, everything will happen, if you want,  If a person uses all these things to establish friendship with Allah, the Exalted, then He, that is, his friend, will grant him something that neither his eyes have seen nor his ears have heard of, nor has his mind even imagined these great blessings, namely a great and never-ending life, eternal and everlasting success, unlimited blessings, and everything that is beyond the reach of man. Allah says in the Holy Quran: Those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remain steadfast, the angels will descend upon them (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve, and of the Paradise which you were promised." It is worth noting that anyone who complains about not having a good friend is actually not a good friend himself.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا، وَلاَ تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، وَأَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ تَحَابُّوا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبُغْضَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ، لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ‏:‏ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ‏.‏

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen."

(الألباني حسن لغيره)

This hadith reveals three things, first is that nobody can enter Paradise until he/she accepts Islam, because no other religion except Islam will be accepted in the Day of Resurrection.

Second is that, despite acceptance Islam, it is necessary that there should be love, affection and sympathy among the Muslims also.

And, to achieve this purpose, greeting should be extended among themselves.

And the third is most important, it means that

abhorrence, loathing, or abomination etc. should not be among the faithful believer and heart should be clean from malice, ill feeling bitterness and arrogance from others.

The holy Prophet PBUH said,”

Anyone has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise." A man said:" What if one likes his clothes and shoes to look good?" He said: "Verily, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is to reject the truth and look down on people."

Sahih/Authentic. - [Muslim]

So, in order to entering Paradise, every faithful believer should arrange to act upon this hadith, amin.

Hatred is the razor, that shaves away the deen!:

In the video above, you see the pop sound of small arms fire and then Pakistani Armour opening up with thud sounds and suppressing the Afghan advance. 

Afghans with their small arms (AK47) will be mercilessly and easily put down. you are not fighting America but people who know the land, the terrain, the tactics and the one who trained the Afghans

Why are Afghan Taliban supporting Terrorism in Pakistan? And then a frontal assault against the 6th largest military in the world and a Nuclear power????Have the Taliban lost their minds!

Why would you do this against your own Muslim Brothers and then cut down? This is not right, this is not good. The Ulama in Pakistan are constantly warning the Taliban or this war will spread and it will not be good. 

Terrible! What on Earth!

This is for basic laymen who don't understand anything about building portfolios etc, if you are knowledgeable and know what you are doing then Alhumdolillah, do as you please.

There are dozens of Fatwas, YouTubes, articles and talks about Shariah compliant investment but not a lot of practical tips for common Muslims will little money on what to do so here is a basic bullet pointed list on what to do as these outpace the conventional growth

British Muslims:

1. Invest in Cur8 according to your means (minimum of what you can afford) and keep setting aside a little every month and keep investing Insha'Allah.

American/Canadian Muslims:

Invest in ETFs and here are two solid Halal choices:

1. SPUS
2. HLAL

September 11, 2025 Addition:

https://blog.zoya.finance/best-halal-etfs/

Indian/Pakistani or all other Muslims:

My information is out of date so need to do more research on this...

And in the Holy Cities we can find the answer to this question, [Moderator Edit: Link removed] Because this is a place where people came from different areas of the world and show unity, peace, and brotherhood. 

But, I’m worried, how to perform Umrah? I have heard from many people about this and want to share with you guys and then kindly, guide me. 
The “Itimaar” is a word where Umrah is derived and its meaning is journey or visit. There are some steps of Umrah,

•    Wearing Ihram

Wearing the Ihram in the Haram Pak at the Meeqaat

•    Tawaf e Kaaba 

Tawaf around the House of Allah, Kaaba

•    Say’ee

To finish the Say’ee, walking 7 times between the mountains of Safa and Marwah 

•    Cutting the Hair 

Shaving the hair off when coming out the state of Ihram

So, guys, these are the points which I was heard from different people. But, I want 100% to confirm information about how to perform Umrah??? Because its religious duty and Allah don’t give this chance to everyone to perform it. May Allah help us. He is Kind and Generous.
 

May Allah Ta'ala protect this Ummah and all the believers from the Fitnah of Dajjal and grant all believers safety and security (Ameen).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:Hadith no.1

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e., without thinking aboutBe careful about your talking its being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west." According to Islamic teachings, every person should speak in a way that does not hurt anyone's feelings, does not backbite anyone, does not slander anyone, does not abuse anyone, does not deceive anyone, and speaks truthfully and correctly. Otherwise, if a person keeps speaking like this without any purpose, then according to the Hadith Sharif, the result of this conversation will be that that person will fall into the fire of Hell. Therefore, such conversation should be avoided.

Hadith no.2

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man utters a word pleasing to Allah without considering it of any significance for which Allah exalts his ranks (in Jannah); another one speaks a word displeasing to Allah without considering it of any importance, and for this reason he will sink down into Hell." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

To understand the meaning of this Hadith, it is necessary to consider these two verses

And thus it is: if We let him taste ease and plenty after hardship has visited him, he is sure to say, 'Gone is all affliction from me!'-for, behold, he is given to vain exultation, and glories only

Hud (The Prophet Hud) 11:10

 BUT IF they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] We have not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee]. And, behold, [such as turn away from Our mes­sages are but impelled by the weakness and incon­stancy of human nature: thus,] when We give man a taste of Our grace, he is prone to exult in it; but if misfortune befalls [any of] them in result of what their own hands have sent forth, then, behold, man shows how bereft he is of all gratitude!

Ash-Shura (The Consultation) 42:48

of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty has mentioned two states of man. The first state is that when Allah Almighty bestows some blessings on a person or he experiences a state of happiness, he speaks good words in praise of Allah Almighty and becomes happy. On the contrary, if Allah Almighty bestows some misfortune on him or puts him in a state that causes him distress, he speaks bad words in praise of Allah Almighty and nothing happens. However, there are two things for man: when Allah Almighty bestows a blessing on him, he gives thanks, and if a misfortune befalls him, he bears it patiently, that is, he should be in a state of submission and contentment, and he should not speak any bad words in praise of Allah Almighty. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on these two hadiths. Amen.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Iman has sixty odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And shyness is a branch of Iman."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

-وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ “الإيمان بضع وسبعون، أو بضع وستون شعبة، فأفضلها قول لا إله إلا الله، وأدناها إماطة الأذى عن الطريق، والحياء شعبة من الإيمان” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was more modest than a virgin in her tent. When he disliked something, we recognised that in his face."

Grade:  Sahih (Al-Albani)               صـحـيـح   (الألباني)         

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Iman has sixty odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And Shyness is a branch of Iman."  Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ ، فإذا رأى شيئياً يكرهه عرفناه  في وجهه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏

‏ The literal meaning of modesty is dignity, seriousness. It is the opposite of shamelessness, obscenity, and indecency. In Islamic terminology, modesty refers to the shame that a person feels before his own nature and before God when he is inclined to do something wrong.

The meaning of modesty is "shame", "chastity," and "purity." It is a state that motivates a person to avoid shamelessness, obscenity, and evil. Modesty is an inner feeling that motivates a person to do good and avoid evil.

That is, modesty is the name of that thing that when a person is alone or in front of everyone, he is ashamed of saying something sinful or wrong and because of modesty he fears Allah Almighty and fulfills all His commands according to the Sunnah. It is as if the whole of Islam is the name of modesty. That is, without modesty and without being ashamed of sins, a person's Islam is not complete. Modesty is necessary to fully follow Islamic teachings. As the meaning of a hadith is that if you do not have modesty, then do whatever you want. That is, if you have modesty, then that person will do every kind of work thoughtfully and if he does not have modesty, then whatever he wants, he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on these hadiths. End with faith and say, Amen.

First and foremost, my condolences go out to the families and loved ones of all innocent civilians who tragically lost their lives. Noncombatant deaths are always a loss for humanity.

Meanwhile, the media in both India and Pakistan—amplified by their respective governments—are driving sharply divergent narratives.
In Pakistan, amidst intense political turmoil and military suppression, the dominant narrative is that this was a false flag operation orchestrated by the Indian government.
In contrast, Indian media immediately blamed the Pakistani military, escalating rhetoric and issuing threats of retaliation against the Pakistani state.

The Indian foreign office acted swiftly, taking five notable steps, the most significant being the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty—a move implying the potential cutting off of water supplies to Pakistan. But let’s assess the reality of this threat:

1. India lacks the capacity—both technically and geographically—to unilaterally stop Pakistan’s water. The treaty is underpinned by the World Bank, giving it international legal and political weight.

2. India is the upper riparian, meaning water flows from India to Pakistan. Any reckless attempt to divert or block this flow would set a dangerous precedent—one that China, the upper riparian for many of India’s rivers (originating from Tibet), could use against India in future disputes.

3. From a global optics perspective, a false flag operation would undermine India's own image, especially while U.S. Vice President JD Vance was visiting—a crucial time when India is seeking to attract international investment and finalize key trade deals.

So, who’s behind this incident?

To answer that, we must consider geography and strategic positioning. Based on known deployments and regional characteristics:

• The LoC (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) is too far north for this to have occurred from there.

• Indian Punjab and adjoining regions are heavily militarized, making infiltration highly improbable from the west.

• The Ladakh sector is ruled out due to extreme cold and terrain challenges.

That leaves Jammu, specifically its southern belt—a region with a significant Hindu population—as the likely area of infiltration. If that’s accurate, it raises a serious red flag for Indian security services, as it would indicate that militancy or insurgency is expanding beyond its traditional zones.

Will there be a War?

No sane person should ever wish for war. Innocent civilians on both sides of the border would suffer deeply due to the political brinkmanship of two narcissistic leaders—Narendra Modi and General Asim Munir.

That said, the Modi government has boxed itself into a corner with increasingly aggressive rhetoric and slogans like "Ghar mein ghus ke maarenge" (“We’ll enter their homes and strike”). This kind of bravado has raised expectations that cannot be easily managed.

From a conventional standpoint, India cannot engage in kinetic action against Pakistan without triggering serious consequences. Pakistan may be smaller and economically weaker, but that very imbalance means it has far less to lose—while India has everything to lose. Unfortunately, a segment of Indian society has come to view itself through a lens of hyper-masculinity and nationalism, disconnected from the strategic reality.

After the events of 2019—when Pakistan shot down an Indian jet and captured its pilot—any future provocation will undoubtedly be met with retaliation. With General Asim Munir’s popularity at an all-time low, he may feel compelled to respond even more aggressively than the previous leadership to salvage his position. That, in itself, is a dangerous motivator.

Escalation could spiral quickly, and Indian leadership is fully aware of this. The real danger lies in two leaders locked in a confrontation they can no longer control.

It’s important to clarify that the current leadership of Pakistan’s military may not be driven by Islamic or patriotic ideals, but the rank-and-file soldiers, airmen, and sailors remain highly trained, disciplined, and motivated.

For the people of Pakistan, it is time to accept the inevitability of an India-Pakistan conflict, not out of warmongering but as a call to vigilance. As the old Roman maxim says:
“Si vis pacem, para bellum” – If you want peace, prepare for war.

Until that moment comes, Pakistan must assure the international community that if India initiates kinetic action, the response will be irregular, asymmetric, and disproportionate—aimed not at escalation for its own sake, but to safeguard sovereignty and deter future aggression.

For now, the people and Government of Pakistan must drop the stupid and ridiculous conspiracy theories and act to avoid war by following International norms and standards.

We had our brothers telling us that 9/11 was a conspiracy and now we have Senior Deobandi Ulama confirming that 9/11 was done by Al-Qaeda and Taliban knew about it.

What is the future?

War is inevitable—and while India may be the one to initiate it, it will be the Muslims who bring it to a close. And by that, I do not mean the Muslims of Pakistan alone.

Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his grandfather that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you about who is most beloved to me and the one who will be seated closest to me on the Day of Judgment?" The people were silent, so he repeated that two or three times.

 Then the people said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The one among you with the best character."(sahih Muslim).

This Hadith states that on the Day of Judgment, the person who will be most beloved and closest to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will be the one with the best morals and character. And the second thing is that good morals and character will also weigh heavily in the scales on the Day of Judgment when deeds are weighed. Now the important thing is what is essential in good morals and character? So, it is important to keep our dealings with each other in order, whether it is business matters or any other issue, to take care of each other's rights, and to treat others with a smile and with the utmost happiness.  Because it has often been seen often that some Muslims do not deal properly with others. These people

offer prayers,   keep fasting, perform Hajj and perform other duties, but their business dealings with others are not proper. This includes making false statements in business, breaking promises, hoarding, etc. Similarly, they do not properly fulfill the rights and duties of their children or spouse, including not raising their children properly or not giving them a full share in inheritance, etc. Religion is not complete by performing prayers and fasts alone, but it is also necessary to keep other matters properly and fulfilling rights and duties completely, and along with them, following Islamic teachings.  Only in this way can the closeness of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the right to love him be fulfilled. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on this noble hadith completely. Amen.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا، وَلاَ تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، وَأَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ تَحَابُّوا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ

وَالْبُغْضَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ، لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ‏:‏ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ‏.‏

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen."

This Hadith Sharif states that in order to enter Paradise, it is necessary for every Muslim to greet each other, whether he knows him or not, and to love him, that is, to treat him with love, and there should be no hatred, enmity, or malice against each other in their hearts. However, it has been generally observed that people do not greet each other, but they wait for the person in front of them to greet me first, and whenever I come in front of them, they stand up and meet me and greet me. The second thing is that they do not love each other, but if there is any quarrel or argument in their mutual relations, they cut off all contact with them. It has been generally observed that rich people do not help the poor, but even stop talking to them over trivial matters and break off relations. According to the Hadith Sharif, no one will enter Paradise as long as there is arrogance, pride, or anything for others in their hearts. Therefore, it is important that we purify our hearts and Respect Other Muslim brothers, be the first to greet them, love them, and maintain and not break ties with them. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on this noble hadith, Amen.
