Few thoughts on knowledge and self in light of islam:

To gain knowledge we need to consider these aspects:

Niyyah
Concentration
Interest
Need/eagerness to learn.
Only then can we get hidayah

To listen intently and hold on good are the attributes of the rightly guided

Basic ailments that creep into our system stealthily and eat up the good in us. These take us away from the nusrath of Allah swt:

1) Kibr- considering others as haqheer., Ignoring haqq.
A person who has kibr in his heart start neglecting the huqooq of people around him.
To get over kibr start behaving politely with everyone around us and start respecting them for the emaan in his heart.

2) Ujoob- when someone does something good we start saying I did it instead of saying Allah swt enabled me to do it
Ujoob is the door to kibr.

3) Bad goyi- misuse of the tongue.

To eliminate these vices
1. Hold on to ur salaah with sincerity by perfecting it.

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...

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...

Here are the words to the Azan: # Azan 1. *Allahu Akbar* (4 times): Allah is the greatest. 2. *Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah* (2 times): I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah. 3. *Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah* (2 times): I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 4. *Hayya 'ala al-salah* (2 times): Come to prayer. 5. *Hayya 'ala al-falah* (2 times): Come to success. 6. *Qad qamat al-salah* (2 times): Prayer has begun. 7. *Allahu Akbar* (1 time): Allah is the greatest. # Du'a after Azan After the Azan, it is recommended to recite the following Du'a: "Alahumma rabba hadhihi ad-da'wat al-tammah, wa al-salat al-qaimah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wa al-fadhilata, wa ab'athu maqamam mahmudan aladhi wa'adtahu, innaka la tukhlif al-mi'ad."

*ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY* - Peace here and hereafter:

 - *What the Prophet(saw) Knew* The Prophet ﷺ and his companions knew something that is not often displayed today. They were able to face difficulty with a certain determination in their heart; they were grateful for even the seemingly small blessings; they took pleasure in praying at night while the people were asleep. What they knew was this: if they sought Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) they would not be let down. This is the secret to the statement of Abu Bakr  radiAllah `anhu (ra) to the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Badr, when the Prophet ﷺ was crying out to Allah (swt) in an impassioned du`a’(supplication) until his cloak fell from his shoulder. Abu Bakr (ra) said, “O Messenger of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you!” And He did- the battle was won by the Muslims. Human desires are insatiable. And for this reason, the more we chase after the dunya (physical world), the less we are sa...
