Human beings are intrinsically wired to find their way to Allah (God):

Human beings naturally seek harmony and cohesion between their cognitions, and when there is disharmony between the way you are living your life and the internal discomfort and emptiness you are feeling, this is where we usually hit a crosssroad between chosing the way we live or responding to the discomfort and imbalance that we are feeling. It’s called Cognitive Dissonance. In the Islamic tradition, human beings are intrinsically wired to find their way to Allah (God) through the Fitrah, which is a predisposition to believe in Him, and the faculties given to them to help navigate their way through the external influences and distractions. Human faculties have dual a function; one spiritual and the other physical. Allah says in the Qur’an, “They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see and they have ears with which they do not hear; they are like cattle, rather more astray than cattle.” (7:179) Allah is not referencing the physical functions of these faculties here but the spiritual. Don’t keep ignoring your body’s desire for a deeper interpretation of the experience you giving it. Understand your purpose and live it.

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...

We need to go back to these core teachings and examples of Islam and similarly strive for achieving an ethical and moral society, wherever we live:

- Assalamualaikum, For those who can drop their 21st century cultural baggage and read this sermon in its own historical context, one can’t help but admire it as one of the earliest declarations of human rights in written history. Almost everything Muhammad SAWS says in this prophetic sermon was almost unheard of and inconceivable prior to the arrival of Islam. The Prophet of Islam addresses some of the core universal values in a society where those values are long forgotten and violated in a systemic basis. The Prophet didn’t only say but transformed his society, in a very short period of time, remarkably in all the values and lessons that he talks about.  In this sermon of Muhammad SAWS, Muslims find their deep commitment to the universal human values such as sacredness of life and property, equality, justice, peace and more. Upon these high universal values, the religion of Islam was built.  We still have so much to learn from this 1,440-plus-year-old cry and we are so much...

Clean heart:

1. “How strange some people are! They attach great importance to their faces because people look at it and so they clean it from filth, but give no heed to their hearts, to which Allaah looks at.” Shaykh Muhammad al Munajjid خفطه الله 2. Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam ne (ek martaba ek sahaabi ko) apni zabaane mubaarak pakad kar farmaaya ke mujhe sab se ziyaada khatra is (zabaan) se hai. (Trimizi : 2410) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

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...

Indeed Paradise lies at the feet of a Mother. Even if you sacrifice your whole Lîfē for your parents, you have done nothing for them!

SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT I'M HER SON , BUT I KNOW SHE'S MY MOTHER...  TRUE STORY!!!!!! A Saudi lady doctor narrated a story about a patient! A Saudi guy aged 30 named Mohammad entered the lady Doctor's  room and he had his mother with him.  She wanted to run away from his son. She unset her niqab again and again but her son set it back again and again.  She would bite his hands and spit on his face and her son kept smiling... Then his mother threw her niqab and started laughing and going around the Doctor's table.  Doctor asked Mohammad who she was and  he replied, 'my Mother'.  Then she asked him what's her story, he replied that she was born with mental disorder.  Then she asked him, how she gave birth to you. He told her my grandfather made my father marry her to get a son. So my father married her and divorced her after a year and I was born. And since I was about 10 years old, I am the one serving her. When I want to sleep I tie my foot with her...

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...

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...
