*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 Through these pseudo liberal Muslims, the Islamic values are being shown as outdated, the practice of hijab a ritual, their flashy speeches based on worldly achievements are being depicted as example for Muslims to follow.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!*

The 40 Acts of Paradise:

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. Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You. Help me do that in the best way. Teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love. Help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole. Help me walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with me. 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 ...

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

 There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

Love towards my Kind Teacher (S.A.W):

Love is when Bilal (Radhiallahu 'anhu) stopped giving the adhan after the death of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) Love is Bilal leaving Madina after the Prophet’s (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) death because everything reminded him of his beloved Love is Bilal seeing the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in a dream telling him, "what is with this dryness/distance oh Bilal?" when a long time had elapsed since he visited the Prophet's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) grave, prompting Bilal to head to Madinah upon waking Love is Bilal arriving in Madinah in the middle of the night and Hasan and Hussain (Radhiallahu 'anhum) finding him at the maqam of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) crying and Hasan and Hussain insisting that he give the adhan for Fajr. People came rushing to the masjid: weeping and anguished - reminded of their days with the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) Love is Bilal…when Umar ibn al Khattab (Radhiallahu 'anhu) asked h...

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...

Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves:

A pattern and rule for the house. Dr Abdul Kareem Bakkaar from Syria famous for his sayings, an author of more than 40 books, who taught in most of the universities in Saudi Arabia. He mentions: Parents should not depend on others for the correct upbringing of their children, they should take responsibility themselves and make the children responsible for their own good character. It will be good if parents make some light rules in the house so that the children can understand the importance of fulfilling responsibilities and good character can become part of their lives. Parents should take what is relavent for them and if they so wish, change and add some points. 1. Every person in the house should perform Salaah on it’s  correct time. 2. "Please" and "Jazakallah" are of utmost importance, no one will be exempt from using it. 3. Hitting, fighting, swearing and cursing will not be tolerated. 4. Your thinking and views will be presented with complete respe...
