Dua has the ability to change one s destiny

 AS human beings, our life in this world is characterized by fluctuating conditions making us happy and sad. No one experiences perpetual bliss or misery. Life by its very nature is a test. Allah says: “He is the One that has created Life and Death in order to test who amongst you is best in conduct.” (Qur’an, 67:2) Pleasant and favorable conditions demand us to be grateful and humble or adverse conditions require us to be patient and to seek Allah’s help. As Believers we ought to believe that every condition is a manifestation of the Will of Allah. What has passed us was not meant to befall us and what has befallen us was not meant to pass us. Assistance comes with patience, relief after affliction and ease after difficulty (Tirmidhi). Our faith and belief is tested when we undergo difficulties and afflictions. These difficulties may be physical, emotional, financial and/or psychological. This is borne out by the following verse: “Verily We will test you with some fear, hunger, an...

The use of smart phones is prohibited in mosques

 In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, It is surely one of the most disturbing aspects that, many Muslims who come to the houses of Allah, keep their mobile phones switched on. One comes to a place of worship to forget the world and escape materialism but the fact is that their action is saying: “I am here in body, my mind is elsewhere”. The one who does not switch off his mobile phone intentionally during Salat with Jama’ah, and the phone tune constitutes music, is actually committing two sins. Disturbing a fellow Muslim & listening to a musical tune. To harm, disturb and agitate another individual is a sin in itself, let alone when one is engaged in an Ibadah (worship) such as offering Salat. Allah Almighty says: “And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin.” (Surah al-Ahzab, V.58) As far as the musical tune is concerned, it should be remembered that those musical tones which create charm, pleasu...

Indeed there is no certainty in life except death. {Every soul will taste death.} (Aal `Imran 3:185.)

In death, we are compelled to return to Allah. In life, however, we can choose to draw...

Do we start committing sins after Ramazan

 The true Muslim is the one who fears Allah; who practices good deeds and avoids committing sins and faults. He sticks to this and makes this a way of his life until he dies. Therefore, the seasons of the good increase his diligence in worship, his keenness on obedience and accustoming himself to the good. If these times are passed, their effects will be represented in his life as lively pictures, a tangible reality, and a perceivable concrete deed. Farewell Ramadan We have bid farewell to an honorable month and a great season. We fasted during daytime and prayed in nights, convenient to us. We recited the Holy Qur’an, increased our zikr (remembrance or Allah) and supplications and gave charity generously. Moreover, we got nearer to Allah through performing acts of closeness to Him, hoping for His rewards and fearing from His punishment. How much efforts we exerted, got our bodies tired, made our hearts filled with Allah’s fear, raised hands in supplication and shed tears. Ramadan ...
