A believer's story of a Quarintine:

Assalamu Alaikum
 Alhamdhulillah ... By the grace of Almighty Allah, I reached home yesterday by the Delhi... Trivandrum special train.  And now I'm under home quarantine for two weeks in the upper flat of our residence. My children and grandchildren are all away, so strict quarantine is made easy.  I request you all to make Dhua for ease.
   We started for Nizaamudheen on the 11th of February, from Kollam ( Ab. Kareem Sb of Poredam, Thaha Sr of Pattazy and myself ), to spend two months in Nizaamudheen Markaz for Thartheeb. But eventually, as you know, things took a different course.
 Insha Allah, it will be exactly 4 months on 11th June, when we finish the ongoing quarantine. 
   We were put in forced quarantine for 58 days in 4 different quarantine camps in Delhi without periodic tests. The entire Ramadhaan and Edul Fithr was spent in the camps. We had the unique distinction of having total vegitarian food for a full Ramadhaan and even on the Eid day!  But in spite of it all,   Alhamdhulillah, we were all peaceful and quiet doing all the Aemaals of jamath, like Mashura, Khidhmath, Thaeleem, thaeroofy, gusth, bayan and talk after Fajir. It has been a jamath with a difference. 
   In the course of our stay in the so called quarantine camp, we were helped by many people including doctors, medical staff, mess boys, policemen and cleaning staff. And the majority among them were Non- Muslim sisters and brothers.  An young Sikh lady doctor, whom I did not see, was of utmost help, through mobile phone and she even went out of the way to get our tests done on time, the last time. A Hindu police officer from the intelligence department was very helpful and kind and made phone calls every other day to enquire about our well-being. We could not do anything in return to these good human beings,  except that Dhuas were made for their Hidhayath. 
       Kindness and generosity are learned tendencies which we acquire from our parents and other significant elders in the family and neighborhood, which has no religion. There is good and bad in people of all religious background.  
    The difference between a Muemin and an ordinary person is that, the Muemin has everything at hand,  from the life of  Rasulullahi (SA) and the Sahaba (RA ). He just have to follow them! ... that is all... because we have a method of doing ...for anything and everything!  But the other person who has not recited the Kalima is devoid of this. And he just follows what he thinks is correct. 
 Alhamdhulillah..  it is Allah's mercy that he gave us a chance to be born into a family of believers!   Our Nabi (SA) said that every baby is born Muslim, and it is his upbringing that converts him into a nonbeliever and mushrik. 
   So, it is our duty to live with Eamaan and Amalussalihath so that people understand this glorious Dheen of Allah from our life.  In contemporary world  people have misunderstood Islam, seeing our Dheenlessness. The only remedy is to change our life styles to the original Dheen, imparted to us by our beloved Nabi (SA).  This cannot be achieved merely by making a few speeches or publishing a few books. It requires Mujaahadha in the path of Allah .... 
Our duty is to see that all people attain Hidhayath and escape the fire.  Our forefathers, the Sahaba (RA) were concerned about it and they followed Rasulullahi (SA) in every walk of their lives,  as a result people around them attained Hidhayath! 
   We too have to be doing the same so that these good people around us escape the fire 🔥. ....  So, make Niyyath to go in jamath the sooner the obstacles are cleared for four months. And come back to take up the five masjidwar Aemaals sincerely. May the Almighty Allah bless us with the Thoufeeq .... Aameen!

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...

A beautiful dua which covers many aspects of our needs of here and hereafter:

*Brilliant du'a.* *I BEG OF YOU IN THE NAME OF ALLAH TO DEVOTE A FEW MINUTES AND READ AND CONTEMPLATE ON THIS LENGTHY DU'A TO THE END.* *Have you forgotten anything?* These are d a few things you may want to ask for in this blessed month of Ramadhan. "Ya Rahman, Ya Raheem, Ya Rabb al Alameen, I call upon You and I ask You by every Name that You have named Yourself with, revealed in Your Book, taught any one of Your creation or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, Allahumma salli wa sallim 'alaa nabiyyinaa Muhammad. Ya Rabb, make me sincere in this dua. Please grant me a death with the shahadah on my tongue. Grant me Husn al Dhan billah (good expectations from Allah) Expand my grave for me and illuminate it with light. Preserve my record in Illiyeen. Lighten for me the questioning of the grave. Grant me death in a state of Ibadah, that is most pleasing to You and resurrect me in the same state. Keep me free from fear, anxiety a...

کیا آپ کا بچہ کند ذہن ہے؟ جانیے لرننگ سٹائلز کے بارے میں!

کیا آپ کا بچہ کند ذہن ہے؟ جانیے لرننگ سٹائلز کے بارے میں! بچوں کے کم یا زیادہ ذہین ہونے کا تعلق ان کے والدین کی تعلیمی قابلیت یا ان کی پیدائش سے بالکل نہیں ہے جب تک بچہ پیدائشی طور پر کسی ایسی بیماری کا شکار نہ ہو جس کی وجہ سے سیکھنے کے عمل پر منفی اثر پڑ سکتا ہو۔ پھر کچھ بچے تدریسی عمل کے دوران کیوں جلدی سیکھ جاتے ہیں جبکہ کچھ کو وہی سبق سیکھنے یا یاد کرنے میں مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے؟  اس سوال کا تعلق تعلیمی نفسیات سے ہے جو ایک باقاعدہ سائنس ہے اور اساتذہ کے ہر تعلیمی اور تربیتی نصاب میں اس پر باقاعدہ بات ہوتی ہے۔ تعلیمی نفسیات کے مطابق بر بچے کا لرننگ اسٹائل دوسرے سے مختلف ہوتا ہے۔ ہمارے تعلیمی نظام کا ایک مسلہ یہ بھی ہے کہ اساتذہ ان الگ الگ لرننگ اسٹائلز سے واقف نہ ہونے یا دوران تدریس ان کا خیال نہ رکھنے کی وجہ سے سب بچوں کو ایک ہی طریقے سے پڑھانا شروع کر دیتے ہیں۔ جس کی وجہ سے کچھ بچوں کو بات سمجھ میں آجاتی ہے جبکہ کچھ اسے سمجھنے سے قاصر رہتے ہیں۔ اس طرح بچوں کو ذہین یا کند ذہن لیبل کر دیا جاتا ہے۔ اصل صورت حال اس سے بہت مختلف ہے۔ اس کے لیے یہ سمجھنا ہوگا کہ لرننگ اسٹائلز ...

About Hell, Hell fire- Jahannam ki tafseel :

 July 30 - 2021. Today's learning: (The original speech was in urdu, after that it is translated into English text by Mohsin sir) Surath Al -Kahf.Chapter 18- verse:29.  *Hell explanation: (Jahannam ki tafseel):*  By Islamic interpreters.(Mufassireen e Islam).  *Brief description of the verse:*  When the truth is revealed then it is upon the people whether to accept it or reject it.If they accept it then it's good for them and if they reject it then there's a torment of blazing fire for them.  *Inference:* Here the humans who had being given the free will(ikhtiyaar) act according to their own whims and desires.Angels don't have this kind of choice with them only the jinns(one of the creation of Allah with fire) and the humans have this free will option.  *Consequences of the free will:*  Allah has revealed all the ways of guidance in his final book.Those who don't accept and practice they would be sent to the hell.

You're either a slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh.

*I post this with tears in my eyes.* This is a Khutbah which was Given by one Ustaz from Osogbo, osun  (Nigeria) What a touching KHUTUBAH please if time allows you  read it. It's worth a Reminder; Published as received. "Every human is a slave. You're either a  slave of your desires or a slave of Allāh. You either live life by your rules or the rule of Allāh. How can the heart travel to God if it's chained by its desires? O' son of Adam! Sell this World for the hereafter and you win both, sell the hereafter for this world & you lose both. #DeenOverDunya Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah Islam is not a buffet where you pick and choose what suits you. Don't obey your desires. Obey Allaah. "Imprisoned is he, whose heart is imprisoned from Allāh. Captured is he, who is captured by his desires." Fudayl Ibn Iyad was asked "What do you find the strangest of all things?" He said: The heart that knows Allāh, yet still disobeys Him 😢 ...

Why Pork (pig meat) is Haram in Islam? Some scientific observations:

Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ In the Qur'an Allah has forbidden pork. Do you know that pork is forbidden by Jews, and its forbidden in Bible too. 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins re...

Eid Mubarak: Beyond the Festivities, Towards a Lifetime of Reflection:

 - ##  Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! As the crescent moon graces the sky, marking the end of Ramadan, we are filled with joy, gratitude, and a sense of spiritual renewal. The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith. This Eid, as we gather with family and friends, exchanging warm greetings and savoring delicious treats, let's also take a moment to reflect on the profound lessons Ramadan has imparted. We've nurtured patience, empathy, and a deeper connection with our spiritual selves. We've learned the power of self-discipline and the beauty of giving. However, the true essence of Ramadan lies not just in the month itself, but in the lasting impact it has on our lives. The spirit of generosity, the commitment to prayer, the dedication to self-improvement – these are not fleeting practices to be abandoned once Eid arrives. This Eid, let's make a conscious effor...

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

 - Muslim science  par excellence  was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory.  Ibn Hazm  said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...
