*Importance of Following Rasoolullah ﷺ*

One of the eligibility requirements of a so called progressive Muslim, as shown by conspirators against Islam and Muslims, is to make them distant from Islam; women in particular (but not only women) seem to be a major target of this plot. Through these pseudo liberal Muslims, the Islamic values are being shown as outdated, the practice of hijab a ritual, their flashy speeches based on worldly achievements are being depicted as example for Muslims to follow. 

Most of these speakers generally make mockery of Islam, showcase Islamic teachings in a way which prods listeners to rebel against Islam; generally such speakers gain quick fame on stages. 

Rasoolullah ﷺ did ask us to pray for successful life (on earth) and in hereafter, but surely through Islam, a beautiful religion which doesn't stop us to earn millions and live in multi-storey houses. Sayyida Khadija (ra) was the richest women in Makkah, did she leave Islam? Sayyida Fatima (ra) was declared the queen of heaven, did she abandon Islam? Hazrat Uthman (ra) and Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf (ra) - both companions of Rasoolullah ﷺ had scores of wealth (According to some sources, Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf's (ra) net worth was US 527 billion dollars when he passed away {close to five times more than today's richest man in the world}, did they ignore Islam? NO! 

The definition of success is neither in settling in the western countries nor in working in US based companies, neither in speaking fluent English nor in earning 7 digit salaries, neither in wearing branded t-shirts nor in tight apparels. There are bulk of people who've got multi-million dollars, rupees, riyals, dinars, dirhams, pounds etc., but aren't still content with it. 

The secret to success in both the worlds lies in offering prayers 5 times a day (what is Haiyya Alal Falaah then?). The secret lies in following Rasoolullah ﷺ. These are not my words, these are words of Allah. He says in Quran: وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ (Indeed you'll be successful of you remain a faithful believer) _[Surah Aal e Imran : 139]_

*Think where you're going, whom you're making your role models, and whom you're following. Anyone who makes you come close to Islam is your actual role model!*

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) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

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...

Its all about connection of heart:

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (Faith), He taught them 'La ilaha illa Allah' and explained it's meaning to them. The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh started to like the parrot. He used to take it to his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say "La ilaha illa Allah", and would  utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing. When they asked him the reason, he told them that a cat attacked the parrot and killed it. They said: "Is this the reason you are crying?"... If you wish we will bring you another parrot better than that one. The Sheikh said: I am not crying because of this... But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot. It was shouting and screaming until it died. He used to say la ilaha illa Allah a lot. However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot to say it. He did nothing but scream...

A dua from a parent to their children:

Let us all pray for our children with this long dua.  A POWERFUL DU'A FOR CHILDREN! In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful! All praises are for Allah SWT, the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving. Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions. Oh Allah, I submit myself to You. I realise that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help. I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance.

Allow me to be a God-fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that I may need. Oh Allah, You know ...
