 Allah has strongly condemned people who make fun of others. This making fun of people whether it is their appearance, looks, height, wealth, socio economic status, their income, their intelligence and their weight is strongly condemned because Allah has said that when you make fun of others Allah makes you too that way and you are going to have conditions the same way as the people you mocked. For example if someone becomes jobless and you mocked him sooner or later Allah will make you jobless. If you are going to make fun of someone's poverty then Allah will make you poor as Allah likes justice done to its believers It has been said in Surah al Hujurat donot deride or mock one another who knows the person derided is better than you in terms of being mutaqi and having fear of Allah. Allah likes those who fear HIM and obey his commands rather than those who are arrogant and in arrogance make fun of others. In the end what I would like to say is that we all have flaws and every one ...

 Allah has said that if a person just before he dies has an even little bit of pride in his heart will not enter Jannat. It's a human tendency to look down about people and consider people as inferior if they are being praised by people a lot for their wealth, beauty, intelligence, abilities and achievements. This is wrong of people to consider themselves as above and superior as everything they have has been given to them by Allah. and there is nothing special about them as Allah has gifted them these things.  Especially men these days are finding themselves having difficulty to get married. This is because women especially their parents go after money and richer candidates to get married even if the male person is not lacking in ability, either character wise and physically fit too even then they will go for the richer guy. If a person like that ask that girl for marriage her parents will reject that person saying apni aukat dekho. In the end what I would like to say is that...

 Every soul that Allah has created has to taste death. Death is inevitable and it is inescapable. Even before this world was created Allah made the souls of every human being that is to come into earth  and predestined that whether that soul will turn into an evil person or a good one and he also decided our ages.  He also predestined which soul will enter heaven or will be thrown into Hell. So our Muslim brothers and sisters if we want a good end we must pray five times daily and read the Quran daily and repent to Allah regularly saying his istighfar and refrain from commiting sins. The person with more good deeds than bad deeds will surely have a good death with the Angels of death smoothly taking his soul. On the otherhand a person who is evil and didnt seek repentance from sins from Allah will have a very painful death.  In the end what I would like to say we as muslims and believers should have  hope on mercy of Allah to give us a good death.   

 Well Dua has the potential to change our destiny especially for Muslims. Every night in tahajjud Allah comes near to us and listens to our Dua. He is the most merciful, most kind and beneficent and most of us who offer dua  at Tahajjud have their prayers answered. At Tahajjud time we should ask Allah to forgive us and then as an after thought ask for our worldly desires. It is seeking forgiveness from Allah regularly will eventually lead us to Heaven and then have Allah's favours upon us. We should always turn to Allah in our dua no matter how much sinful we might be and ask for Allah's help in our daily routine worldy matters.  In the end what I would like to say is that Allah loves those Muslims who regularly make dua from HIM.

 On Ashura 10th muharram Hazrat Nuh's Ark landed on Mountain Arafat from which the civilisation grew. Not to forget that Hazrat Imam Hussain the grandson of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was martyred on this day. Hazrat Imam Hussain is the greatest shaheed ever in the history of mankind infact the whole universe. To mark Ashura that is 10th Muharram we should keep fast on that day as this day is sacred not only to the Muslims, but to christians and to jews as well. According to christian traditions David Killed Goliath on this day.. According to jews Hazrat Musa and his followers were saved by the parting of the Red Sea to escape from Pharaoh of Egypt's army. But we mustnt break our fast on this day by special biryani, faluda, sherbat and kichri made on this day as this is bidat. In the end what I would like to say is that Islamic calendar begins with the first day of Muharram and we shouldnt mark Hazrat Imam Hussain's chehlum too as that is bidat too.

 Allah says that we must pray five times daily in order to protect us from committing sins. Surely one who says his prayers daily commits less sins than people who pray less than five times a day. For our physical and mental health point of view prayer is very important.  Each prayer is very important. The importance of fajr prayer is for Allah's protection and to beautify oneself. Zohr prayer importance is that for ones sustenance and employment, Asr prayer is for saving oneself from Hell fire and to have patience, Maghrib prayer is for saving ones sustenance and Isha prayer is for a good nights sleep.  Leaving out a prayer is a major sin and there is punishment in the life hereafter for leaving a prayer without any reason. Prayer is the first question likely to be asked in our graves and on the day of judgement by Allah. In the end what I would like to say that those who pray five times a day are under Allah's protection and it will save themselves from Hell fire after ...
