My Prophet…2

Assalamu Alaikum,

When Rasool(S.A) was walking with a few companions (R.A), a non believer lady called him ‘muaddam’.
Allah gave Nabi the name Muhammed (S.A). Nobody had this name untill prophet’s birth. This name means ‘the praised’. Even when we say Al Hamdulillah which means all praise belongs to Allah, Rasool is also called [...]

Al Fathiha

Assalamu Alaikum,

Usually the first meaningful word uttered by a baby will be a word which means mother in local language. Who teaches the baby to call his mother “mumm..”? Mother herself, right?
(How else will the baby know how to call his mother!!)
So the very word “mumm” (mummy, ma, ummi, umma .. whatever) that is [...]

My Prophet

Assalamu Alaikum,
A history student knows that Muhammed(SA) is a prophet of Islam. He knows that the Prophet was born in Mecca to parents Abdullah and Aamina (May Allah be pleased with them). He has learned the biography of Prophet in detail. Including his childhood as an orphan. The Prophet was under the care of [...]

Microcredits.. Macroprofits..

Assalamu Alaikum,
This is Economics.. Recently I found an article (the article is not recent) on “Cuckoo’s call“. It’s about the Nobel Peace prize for Grameen Bank and its founder Muhammad Yunus. The article exposes some hidden dimensions of this ‘award’ and its real beneficiaries.
The author has rightly identified the excellence of Islamic Economics.
Of course, we [...]

Khalifa Ali (RA)

 
 
Assalamu Alaikum,
In a battle, Islam’s fourth Khalifa Ali (RA) had almost conquered an attacker. Ali (RA) had got on top of the befallen enemy and was about to kill. It was then the other guy spat on Khalifa’s holy face. To his extreme surprise, Ali (RA) quickly got up and left. Unable to perceive this [...]

WISHLIST

Assalamu Alaikum,
It has been my experience that whenever I was particular about something in Deen and worked towards it, Allah gave it. But whenever I merely put things in my ‘wish-list’ instead, Satan made me land on the opposite side.
Only determined minds will walk the Path towards the Perfect One. May Allah make the minds [...]

ISLAM / Ahl-u-Sunnath val Jama’ath..3

 

Assalamu Alaikum,
Allah says
Didn’t You see one who belies his religion?
That is he who repels the orphan
And urges not feeding the needy (107:1-3)
Subhanallah..
It is to be noted that even if one happens to miss one of the compulsory prayers, he doesn’t go out of the religion. It attracts displeasure from Allah and he makes himself at [...]

A Mother in Deluge..

We love others because [...]
