Asif Siddiqi- a student of Quran Academy

 The life after we die is more important than our present life in this world. Allah has already said this in the Quran that the worldly life is nothing but a circus and a play ground the real life starts with after the passing of the day of judgement.   This life is a sowing ground for the life hereafter. The good deeds that we did in this world if they weigh more than the bad deeds we did in this world then we are sure to enter into paradise. This life is a test for us preparing us for the life hereafter. we are going to hardships, trials and various examinations in this life. So if we are able to do good deeds and please Allah and pass this examination then Allah will certainly reward us in the life hereafter. In the end what I would like to say is that this world is temporary and the world hereafter is there forever.

 It is said that Allah loves his human beings and each soul he has created 70 times more than his/her mother. Allah is all the forgiving and merciful and will keep on forgiving our sins everytime we commit a sin and ask for Allah's forgiveness. A mother loves it's offspring so much so you can well imagine how much Allah loves you which is 70 times more than your mother.  After commiting a sin again and again we must not stop repenting to Allah and seek Allah's forgiveness. We should always turn back to Allah no matter how many times we have transgressed and committed a sin. If keep on commiting sins without seeking Allah's forgiveness then our sins will keep on piling up until it's too late for seeking Allah's help and repenting to Allah as death can come to us anytime. In the end what I would like to say is Allah loves those who are constantly repenting and it is them who Allah bestows His favour.

 Quran was revealed to our great Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and is the only divine book of Allah which is present in it's purest form. No alterations and changes have been made in the Holy Quran.  If we are to stay away from sins then we must obey Allah's commands and laws and in this way not commit a major sin.  Allah's commands regarding interest, back biting, jealousy and adultery etc are written in the Holy Quran and we must obey these laws or otherwise we will commit a major sin.  Quran is the most read book in the world without understanding it's content. Even if we read Quran and recite it one page at a time or one ruqu at a time then Allah is going to shower his blessings or sawab even if we read Quran in such a way that we are stuck several times while reading it. In the end what i would like to say is that we should invite people to apply Quran's teachings in their daily life. 

 One shouldnt expect any favours be it money, fortune, cash, property and employment except from Allah. Pray five times a day and read the Quran daily and automatically your rizq will come from Allah and your mental and physical health will improve. Allah is the best of planners and everything in our life has been predestined and written by Allah. What Allah has written for you will come to you and there is no force in this world that can stop you from getting what Allah has written for you. We shouldnt beg people to give us sustenance and rizq as everything comes from Allah. Those who are pious and fear Allah everything will come to them in accordance with Allah's blessings. Asking help from people in instead of Allah is a kind of shirk and being Muslims we should avoid this shirk and have total trust in Allah. In the end what I would like to say is that we must have faith in the tawakkul of Allah. 

 Genocide in Palestine is really a matter of big concern and an issue for the entire muslim ummah. Palestinians in Gaza are being murdered, killed and martyred by the Israeli forces ever since World War 2 when Palestinians territory and land was awarded to jews by Britishers and Americans that resulted in the creation of the state of Israel. Israeli armed forces are killing not only Palestinian men but also their women and children resulting in ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine. The only Muslim Nation that is strong enough to destroy Israel is Pakistan which is the only nuclear power Muslim nation in the world. Pakistan air force are some of the world's best pilots and Pakistan Air Force can easily destroy Israeli armed forces. On the otherhand the Pakistani leaders dont want to get into conflict with Israel as India is already threatening Pakistan.  In the end what I would like to say is that we as a Muslim Pakistani nation should boycott all Israeli products.

 The essence of eid ul azha is not to have feasts and merry making with the goat and cow meat but to sacrifice according to Allah's command remembering the dream of Hazrat Ibrahim's sacrificing his son Hazrat Ismail instead a lamb was slaughtered.  This sacrifice and dream of Hazrat Ibrahim teaches us whether we are willing to sacrifice the dearest of our possessions in the name of Allah. The sacrificing of goat and cow meat teaches us taqwa which is the fear of Allah. We are willing to spend and sacrifice in Allah's name having his fear. For every hair of the animal we sacrifice we will get the reward of Allah's countless blessings and sawab.  In the end what I would like to say is that we sacrifice in Allah's name not for materialistic show and gain but to obey Allah's orders and command.
