Treasure of happiness and success:

An old woman used to stand in front of the Masjid🕌 everyday begging for money.

One day, the Imam of the Masjid🕌 asked her, "Why are you standing here and you are from a good family and your son is a good man?"

The old woman replied, "As you know, I have only one son, and my husband died years ago. My son travelled eight months ago and left me some money💰 to spend on my needs, but by now I have spent it all and must resort to begging."

The Imam said, "Your son.. doesn't he send you money💰?"

The old woman replied, "Every month📆 he sends me a coloured picture which I kiss and stick on the wall for remembrance."

The Imam decided to visit her house 🏠. He got a big surprise when he saw 8 cheques on the wall, each for a thousand 💵 dollars, and realized the old woman didn't know what wealth she had because she was illiterate.

This may seem like a really strange story. However the old lady in the story resembles us quite a bit. We all have the Quran 📖 in our home🏠 yet we don't take the time to read it, just kissing it and leaving it on the shelf. We ask for happiness and success from people despite already having such a treasure, 📖the Book of Allah in our houses. May Allah SWT make all of us the people of the Quran📖 and make us able to read it with true understanding.

Aameen Aameen ya Rabbul Alameen....

Quran Juz 21 – Utlu Ma Oohiya - Summary:

- Quran Juz 21 – Utlu Ma Oohiya Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • This Juz starts off with the divine commands of Quranic recitation and establishment of prayers. • The benefit of establishing prayers is mentioned. It keeps a person off from indecency and vulgarity. Hence, a Muslim can use this as a parameter to know the acceptance or rejection of his/her prayers in the Court of Allah. • How can a person deem his prayers as acceptable if s/he is involved in lies, breach of promises, oppression, open loot, indecency in vision and speech etc. • One of the characteristic features of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ is being mentioned, that is he did not formally learn to read and write. However, his teacher is Allah the Exalted; there is a hidden wisdom behind this aspect. • Then Allah commanded that a Muslim must not shun morals should there be a need to discuss and debate with the People of the Book (Jews and Christians). ...

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

- *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children* In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults. *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of. Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

Charity wrapped in Dignity!

She asked him, "How much are you selling the eggs for?" The old seller replied to her, "Rs.5/- for one egg, Madam." She said to him, "I will take 6 eggs for Rs.25/- or I will leave." The old seller replied, "Come take them at the price you want. May Allah bless us, and maybe this is a good beginning because I have not been able sell to anyone today." She took it and walked away with a feeling that she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to pick her friend, and invited her to a posh restaurant. She and her friend sat down and ordered what they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was Rs.1,400/-. She gave him Rs. 1,500/- and said to the owner of the restaurant: "Keep the change." This incident may seem quite normal to the owner of the restaurant. But it is very painful for the poor egg seller. The bottom line is: Why do we show that we have the power when...

Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen):

*Raising children* Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen). This is really beautiful. Women expecting children would ensure every morsel going into their mouths was halal. Breastfeeding mothers would repeatedly recite Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas and du'as of protection over their babies. When a child first began to speak it would be taught to say: رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبّاً، وبِالإِسْلامِ دِيناً، و بسيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيَّاً ورَسُولاً ‘I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with our Master Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet and Messenger.’ Parents would teach their children the importance of making good intentions and what intentions to make just as they would teach them how to recite Surat al-Fatiha. Parents would teach their children to call upon Allah in every situation. If a child asked for something, his parents would tell him to perform wudu, pray two rak'ats and then ask Allah to fulfil his...

I am on duty to serve:

When an European Airline was initially launched, an educated Muslim gentleman was travelling in the first class section. An air hostess approached him with a complimentary drink, this was an alcoholic drink so the man politely refused.

Then, the Muslim proposed that the manager should give the drink to the pilot.. The manager stated, “how can the pilot drink alcohol, he’s on duty! And if he drink...

An annual conference for education development (18th Conference):

* 18th Annual Millat Conference (by MFERD)* #* Perform to Potential*# - Building Holistic Education Systems Dear Brother/Sister, Assalamu Alaikum All praise is to the Almighty Lord who created us and bestowed upon us the title of ‘Khalifa’, His vicegerent on earth. This implies that every individual has the ‘potential’ to perform the duties of the Almighty’s vicegerent. Unfortunately, due to several internal and external hindrances, man doesn’t live up to his potential. Similar is the case of our institutions. In the present world scenario, firmly anchoring and strengthening our educational institutions is of prime importance. It is probably the only way to create a collectively contributing ummah, that can positively influence the future of societies and countries. A handful of schools providing holistic education can significantly change the outlook of an entire city. Such is the potential of educational institutions. But the challenge lies in developing systems and practices (a...

RETURNING BACK TO HIS BOOK AND THE SUNNAH OF HIS MESSENGER صلى الله عليه وسلم:

🚫 Our welfare is not decided by who will be the next president or head of any nation. 🚫 Our welfare is not decided by who supports us and who is against us. 🚫 Our welfare is not decided by the “numbers”. 🌟OUR WELFARE IS ONLY THROUGH ISLAAM; 🌟 THROUGH REAL OBEDIENCE TO ALLAAH; 🌟 THROUGH RETURNING BACK TO HIS BOOK AND THE SUNNAH OF HIS MESSENGER صلى الله عليه وسلم 🌴🌴🌴 `Umar رضي الله عنه said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ❝By this Book (i.e. the Qur’aan), Allaah exalts some peoples and degrade others.❞ 📚[Saheeh Muslim] 🌴🌴🌴 Our honor is in following Islaam. `Umar Ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه set out for al-Shaam with Abu `Ubaydah bin al-Jarraah رضي الله عنه. On the way, they came upon a deep creek (which they needed to cross). So `Umar came down off his camel, took off his sandals and carried them on his shoulders. Then he took the reign of the camel and began plowing through the water. Abu `Ubaydah said: “O Ameer al-Mu’mineen! You are doing this - you took of...

Duwa for parents:

- *DUWA FOR PARENTS* ❝The one who prays for his parents after every salah will be considered an obedient child on the day of judgment.❞ — Sufyan al-Thawri (R.A) Shaikh Uthaimeen (raḥimahullāh) said: ❝Your supplications for your parent in your salah of Taraweeh or Tahajjud is better than slaughtering ten (10) camels as sadaqah on his behalf.❞ [Liqaa Al-Bab Al-Maftooh - 115] Sh. ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr Hafiẓahullāh said: “From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..” ● [فقه الأدعية والأذكار ٢/٢٤٠] ✒ Make Duʿā For Your Parents Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam) said: إن الرجل لترفع درجته في الجنة فيقول : أنى لي هذا ؟ فيقال : باستغفار ولدك لك “Indeed a man's status is raised in Jannah and he asks: ‘Where did I get this from?’, so it is said to him: ‘By your child seeking forgiveness (of Allāh) for you’.” ● [م...
