 An atheist is one who doesnt believe in Allah. They think that there is no Allah governing us. People especially in Europe and Russia have this belief. This is a totally wrong believe of theirs. This is a pagan belief of atheist. This is the reason why people especially in Europe are falling victim to depression and then eventually into suicide as they dont believe in Allah. They believe that there is no deity like Allah who will take care of them and handle their affairs. This is a totally wrong belief of atheists as Allah is in full control of our affairs and has a plan for everyone.  Allah is omni potent and master of the universe, sustainer of the worlds and creator of all creations. In the end what I would like to say we must love Allah and believe in HIM as Allah loves all of his creations and takes full care of them.

 If a person prays to Allah and is happy when it rains then that person is a good person and he brings happiness and joy to people especially the Muslim Ummah. As rain brings it with good news and its part of the water cycle.  If a person backs a just judge in court and ensures justice is provided in court then that person is a good person and he brings joy and happiness to people. As we dont want an innocent person get punished. Rainfall is a blessing from Allah as it is used not only in agriculture but every where in our homes, hotels, offices, restaurants and parks.  Whereas bringing justice to people is a nice act backed by Allah. If a person prays for other people besides himself then that is also a sign of a good person and it brings happiness and joy to people. In the end what I would like to say is that we should keep on praying for rainfall, justice and supplication for each other as it spreads happiness.

 Sinning causes the heart to blacken, it causes depression and anxiety and it causes to deviate from the straight path at which Allah has bestowed his favours. Those who continue sinning without seeking help from Allah and without seeking forgiveness from Allah and without turning towards Allah are readily going to go through depression and anxiety. Happiness and contentment comes from staying on the right straight path on which Allah has bestowed his favours. If we keep on sinning we are likely to deviate from the straight path as directed to us by Allah. Being a sinful person our happiness and contentment are compromised. Having committed sins saddens our heart and soul. In the end what i would like to say is that we should constantly ask Allah to forgive us as every son of Adam is vulnerable to sinning.

 Tauheed or oneness of Allah is the first pillar of Islam. For a Muslim or a believer it is an important belief. The sunni or hanafi class or sect firmly believes in tauheed of Allah without which we are doing shirk. on the otherhand repeating regular chants of Ya Ali Madad or Naraye Haideri the shia sect repeatedly commits shirk and their concept of tauheed is incorrect. By chanting Ya Ali madad instead of the correct chant of Ya Allah madad the shia sect is associating partners with Allah and hence committing shirk as we can only say Ya Allah madad instead of Ya Ali Madad. The shia people are giving Hazrat Ali divine powers which is shirk. We cannot associate partners with Allah as Allah is omnipotent and the sole creator and master of the universe. In the end what I would like to say is that Sunni beliefs are correct and shia beliefs are incorrect as sunnis dont commit shirk.

 We should be grateful to Allah at all times as he has given us so much and has blessed us with so many bounties. First of all we should thank Allah for making us as human beings because if Allah wanted he might have made us an insect or mosquito. Secondly we should thank Allah for making us Muslims. As Muslim we have the best chance of reaching Heaven as non believers mainly christians, jews, hindus and buddhists and atheists have been doomed to reach Hell by Allah provided that they attain faith and convert into Islam. We should be grateful to Allah for making us rich, healthy, educated and dignified. We should be grateful to Allah for providing us with food, homes, clothes and shelter. In the end what I would like to say is that when Allah can feed a large animal like the blue whale then he can surely feed us humans daily with food and drink.

 Namaz is a very important act of worship for the Muslims as Allah has said that in the Quran that Namaz protects us from sins and from bad actions and bad deeds. Namaz is the act of worship which will save us from the Hell fire as it's question will be asked not only in our grave but also on the day of judgement.  Dua after Namaz is another important act of worship as whatever we ask, our wishes, our aspirations and our gifts and our income, jobs and wealth and our health and our well being we should ask from Allah and Allah only. Those who dont say dua and ask Allah  for help are considered arrogant and proud and committing shirk as we shouldnt ask people for help instead we should ask Allah for help. Those who dont offer namaz and dua their lives become miserable and unfortunate. In the end what I would like to say is that in order to live a better life both in this world and in the hereafter we should practise namaz and dua regularly. 

 We must have faith and complete trust in Allah and Allah's plan. Whenever we face a calamity, disaster, a stress ful event, an adversity or a tricky or difficult situation and conditions we should keep faith in Allah that he will cure us and bring us out of these tough situations. When the Holy Prophet Muhammad was depressed that no Quranic revelation was revealed to him for a long time and even the traitors or munafiqin started taunting him that no Quranic revelation has come for a long time from Allah then the surah's Ad duha and Surah Alam Nashrah was revealed to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). In Surah Alam Nashrah or Surah Inshirah it is revealed that after every hardship comes ease. Similarly Surah Ad Duha has similar content in it as Surah Alam Nashrah or Surah Inshirah. Therefore the cure for depression or any mental problem is to recite Surah Ad Duha and Surah Alam Nashrah regularly. In the end what I would like to say is that there is cure and solution...

 Nothing is impossible for Allah. We can have miracles in our lives just because of praying to Allah and making Dua to HIM. Allah is the lord of the worlds, its sustainer, its creator and its master so nothing is impossible for HIM. Allah can do anything for us if we sincerely pray to HIM and HIM alone without doing any shirk. Allah's timing is perfect and Allah's delays must not be questioned. Allah's delays are for a reason and there is justification and reason for whatever Allah does. In every calamity we should pray to Allah as nothing is impossible for HIM and HE will get you out from that calamity and tough situations. We should ask Allah for anything and we should make our wishes to Allah alone as those who dont pray to Allah and make Dua Allah considers them to be arrogant and proud. This arrogance and proudness may lead them to Hell. In the end what I would like to say is that everything is going according to Allah's plan and he is the best of Planners.

 We shouldnt indulge in backbiting, foul language, quarrelling, fighting with fellow Muslims over petty issues, being aggressive during fast, shouting and screaming, being rude to one another, showing bad mannerisms and etiquettes and harassing one another physically as well as verbally and finally being abusive while fasting. All the things mentioned above are sins that we should avoid while fasting during Ramazan. There is a hadis or tradition of the Holy Prophet Muhammad that a Muslim is one from whose tongue and hands other muslims are safe. That means a believer never indulges in harming other muslims whether it is physically or verbally and we shouldnt misbehave with one another while fasting. I know while fasting people become short tempered, but we should control our anger while fasting as it is a sin and it invalidates your fast if you lose your anger while fasting. In the end what I would like to say that people should show self restraint and self control while fasting an...

 It is generally noticed that Muslims start committing sins after spending a sin less ramazan and become pious only in the month of Ramazan as after Ramazan Shaitan is released from capture. They think that committing these sins is a daily routine and Allah will forgive them later on before committing the sin. They think that committing sins such as watching porn, committing adultery, telling lies, using foul language, back biting and harassing people verbally and physically is all natural after Ramazan. It is wrong of people to commit such sins after Ramazan as we must not undo good deeds during ramazan by committing sins after ramazan. We must be pious and sin free throughout our lives and not just during Ramazan. On the other hand as shaitan whispers in our hearts to commit sins after Ramazan we must always turn to Allah and seek forgiveness from Allah. In the end what I would like to say is that every son of Hazrat Adam will commit mistakes and sins.

 Our lives are full of tests and tribulations and whoever passes these tests will be rewarded with success both in this world and the hereafter. Not only poor people are tested but rich people are tested too. Poor people are tested living in a life of poverty and hardships. Rich people are tested as they might get robbed or lose wealth or make decisions that have a fear of losing their wealth. Man tends to forget Allah when he is in good shape that is both financially or health wise. On the otherhand he starts remembering Allah whenever he faces adversity or hardships. This is totally wrong as righteous people are those who remember Allah and worship him whatever their conditions is whether their condition is rosy or whether they are facing hardship. We should be patient whenever we face a hardship like loss of wealth, divorce, being single or through the loss of a loved parent or spouse or family member. In the end what I would like to say is that we should observe patience and pe...

 Ramazan is the holy month in which muslims fast and it is the month that is approaching fast. Fasting has been prescribed for those who came before you and for you so that you may acquire piety. Fasting prevents sins infact washes sins away and in this way instils fears of Allah. In laylatul Qadr night on the 27th night of Ramazan which is better than a thousand months. On this night sins of believers and those who pray during that night their sins are forgiven. The Satan is locked during the holy month of Ramazan so that we should be able to do good deeds and attain piety. We should also give charity during ramazan and make arrangements for iftar for the poor and needy. Ramazan instils patience and discipline in our lives as we live without food and water from dawn to dusk. Ramazan is the month in which doors of Heaven are opened and doors of Hell are closed. In the end what I would like to say is that we shouldnt skip any fast during ramazan as fasting is healthy as it prevents ...

 Those who love Allah Allah loves them and especially those who worship Allah by saying 5 times prayer, reading the Quran, fasting, performing haj or umrah atleast once in their life time and giving charity or sadaqah.  Those who love money and prefer it over Allah are surely going to hell as Allah has said that poor people will enter jannat first and rich people will enter jannat last. There is great issues picking on everything that a rich person earns by Allah so it is better to be poor than rich. Besides poor people are under more trial and tribulations in this world rather than the rich and elite. The love for money and materialistic things like having big cars, big houses and lavish food and clothes is another kind of shirk in the eyes of Allah. In the end what I would like to say is that we shouldnt forget Allah by getting too much involved in worldly affairs but we should love Allah and worship him alone.

 A successful person according to Islam is a person who has good deeds, who repents from his sins, who offers salah, gives zakat and fasts in the name of Allah. A person who is rich, has a big house, big cars and servants is not successful according to Islam if he is an evil person and does bad deeds and commits sins all the time and doesnt turn to Allah and forgets Allah and doesnt repent for his sins. A successful person according to Islam is one who does good deeds like giving charity, helping others like the needy and friends and helping poor people especially poor relatives. The university degrees and wealth have no importance in the eyes of Allah if we keep on committing sins and do bad deeds. Allah has also said that the poor will enter Heaven first and the rich will enter Heaven last. This really means that Allah gives more importance to poor people and everyone is answerable to one's deeds and actions. In the end what I would like to say is that being rich isnt criterion o...

 Allah has promised us that he will give us more than he has taken from us. If we suffer a loss whether financially, a divorce, death of a loved one or the death of a spouse. Allah has promised that he will replace it with something even better. Everything happens for a reason for example in Surah Kahf Hazrat Khizer killed a young boy. Hazrat Musa who was accompanying Hazrat Khizer asked why did he kill an innocent boy? Hazrat Khizer replied that boy would grow up to become harmful to his parents and his parents were innocent and righteous people.  Everything has been preordained or predestined by Allah and according to Allah's plan for us there is cure, there is good in store for us and it is for our own good and well being. One cannot be perfect whether its looks, intelligence or socio economic status so we shouldnt be jealous of people of whom Allah has given more. In the end what I would like to say is that everything that happens in life is for our own good.

 Allah has told us to be modest in Islam. Men and women should guard their private parts from one another if they are strangers to each other and are not married to one another. For women they are particularly expected to be modest and do hijab and guard their private parts particularly those which are visible to the naked eye. Women are particularly are expected to be modest and do hijab because they do not have as much sexual desires and libido as men do and that's why they are expected to dress up decently. All these laws are made to protect women from being raped and subjected to sexual violence. Similarly men are expected to be modest to protect themselves from sins and from committing Adultery. Men are also expected to dress up decently with clothing uptill their navel. In the end what I would like to say modesty protects us from sins and Allah forgives our sins through modesty and repentance.

 We must be grateful to Allah at all costs whether we are in hardship, ease, having the time of our lives, or in difficulty such as financial problem or the death of a loved one. Allah has promised us if we are grateful to HIM he will give you even more and much more than you have imagined. On the otherhand if we are ungrateful to Allah and whin about petty things then be ready to face the wrath of Allah. Just like Bani Israel nation when Allah was giving them Mon Salwa to eat they were happy and grateful as soon as they became impatient and ungrateful to Allah, Allah took away everything from them. Allah has surely promised that after every hardship, calamity and difficulty comes ease and better living conditions so stop being ungrateful to Allah if you have suffered a loss whether it is financially or the loss of a loved one or being divorced or being single throughout much of your life or your property just got lost or you got poor grades as a student. In the end what I would li...

 One shouldnt be jealous of one another as we should see people below us in abilities, wealth, intelligence, looks and socio economic status. Allah has blessed everyone with his blessings and for some he has given more and for some a little less in wealth. We shouldnt compare each other and be jealous of someone who has more than us. If Allah made every one rich then there wouldnt be any people working as janitors, sweepers, drivers, peons and servants etc and in this way the system of Allah wont work in this world. About back biting Islam said that backbiting is the same as eating your dead brothers flesh which you will surely abhor. Back biting is a social evil as all those things said behind someone's back if he/she would mind it said in front of him then we shouldnt say it behind his/ her back which is a major sin in Islam.  In the end what I would like to say is that Surah Falaq should be recited in order to get protection from the evil eyes of jealousy.

 The purpose of life in islam is to worship Allah and Allah alone especially for Muslims. Money has not be given as much importance in life as it is for worldly purpose and materialistic gains. Worshipping Allah and Allah alone without shirk has been given upmost importance in Islam as compared to earning money. Besides love for money and worshipping money is another form of shirk in the eyes of Allah. Our life in this temporary world has not been given any importance by Allah but our deeds, our actions and our ibadat of Allah has been given the utmost importance by Allah. All our 1 lakh and 24 thousand prophets send to earth and which definitely includes our last prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him) have been advocating and emphasizing in the ibadat of Allah whether it is reading the Quran or praying five times namaz or keeping fasts or performing Haj or Umrah.. In the end what I would like to say is that if a person fulfils this purpose of life of praying and wors...

 belittling others and taunting people is not considered good in Islam Belittling others whether it is  their looks, appearance, height, income, physical strength, money and  financial status or for that matter their unemployment or kind of job.they are doing is disliked in Islam as  Allah has said those who belittle others Allah belittles them and makes their situation exactly the same.  In Surah Hujurat it is written do not mock or deride others who knows the person derided is better than you. Better in the sense that he is more pious and Allah fearing than you. Mocking people also comes under  belittling people.  Also under sheer jealousy or envy people belittle others. They should be in fact happy with what Allah has given them instead of comparing each other. In the end what I would like to say is that belittling others is amongst the evils of society and must be avoided at all costs.
