We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more:

Today's learning:


**Money controlling efforts:* 


 *Introduction:* 

Islam has always reminded us to address the human problems by continuously checking and balancing the wealth, instead of remaining in the hands of few.So, the method of rotation must keep going on, in order to allow the free flow of money between all the people. No matter what, ultimately even after our great efforts to hoard it, one day or the other it's going to leave us eventually.


 *Hard earned money:*


Islam says that hard earned money's value is more loved by Allah subhanahu wa taala as was earned by Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him).Allah made the iron smooth for him to turn it into different shapes and make it a useful commodity/good.


Once Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about the best job, and he replied by saying.

"A job that is done by one's own hand,and every decent trade.

Hadith Imam Ahmed (16628).


 *Methods of utilising:*

One could spent the legal (halal) money in different ways.

1.Could be used for his house hold and personal expenditure.

2.Could be used to help poor and the needy.

3.Could be used in construction of masjids(mosques) and hospitals.

4.Could be used for cleanliness and maintenance purpose of streets, localities, and districts so as to be a part of the country's economic development.

5.Must be used for paying Zakat tax of 2.5 percent as ordained by the Qur'an.If this is used properly according to the Quranic injunctions then most of the problems could be coped.

6.Could be used for the development of schools and educational institutions and organisations.

7.Spending in the cause of good and welfare activities.

8.Could be used in the way of Allah.(fee sabeelillah).


 *Hoarding:* 

Islam has always discouraged the hoarding of money.One could use this money for the best causes that would actually be deposited in the bank of aakhira (doomsday).


 Rasoolallah's words on the person who hoards the money and always tries to earn it without attention to the spiritual consciousness and hereafter.


Prophet Muhammad said

 رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ وَالْقَطِيفَةِ وَالْخَمِيصَةِ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ لَمْ يَرْضَ


 “Wretched is the slave of gold, silver, fine clothes, and garments. If he is given he is pleased, but if he is not given he is displeased.”


Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6071.


 *Summary:* People are pleased by Allah when they are given money and are displeased when they are not given.So these people are actually money worshippers (Abd ud Dinaar and Abd ud Dirham) even if they keep their names Abd ullah and Abd ur Rahmaan.They are actually slaves of dinar(gold) and slaves of dirham(silver) rather than slaves of Allah.


 *Heed:* We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more.


 *Pollution:* 

Islam forbids all kinds of pollutions.A muslim must take care of his duties towards his nation and humanity.One could manage all the major and minor things connected or concerned with one's daily life like keeping the streets clean and tidy, respecting the rights of neighbours, removing or troubleshooting the problems that arise due to our negligence.Rasooloullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that a person is the dweller hell with whom his neighbour  gets troubled or faces difficulty and problems.


 *Judicature (Adliya):* 

Islam emphasises and lays down rules and regulations of justice in all forms and all walks of life.We must take extra care especially in the educational institutions and school organisations to practice justice or else we end up in the breakage of these blessed organisations and institutions.


May Allah give us all the correct understanding of Islam.Ameen.


May Allah make us practically implement all the best practices for the betterment of community and humanity.Ameen ya Rabb ul Aalameen.

Rasoolullah's ﷺ Shoes and Leather Socks:

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground. (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger. (Shamaail Tirmidhi) Hazrat Anas (Radiallahhu’ anhu) narrates that from the sunnah is that one should remove his shoes and place them to the left side when sitting. (Mishkaat) Sourc...

The Prayer That Shook My Soul: Finding Gratitude in the Ruins:

 - I went to a masjid today that wasn't marked by towering minarets or grand domes. It was a humble prayer space tucked away inside the quiet confines of an old-age home campus. Places like these carry a specific kind of atmosphere. The air feels heavier, often thick with unspoken memories, quiet resignation, and the lingering echo of lives that once roared with activity but have now slowed to a whisper. I went there simply to offer my obligatory prayers. I left carrying a lesson that will stay engraved on my heart forever. As I stood in the rows, preparing myself, I found myself next to an elderly man. He was frail, his posture bent by the weight of time. He was an "inmate" here—a clinical word that felt too harsh for the gentle, weathered face I glimpsed. Later, I would learn the fragments of his story. He was a survivor of the brutal COVID era, a period that had swept through his life like a wildfire, taking almost his entire family with it. He was left behind in the a...

 - Eid al-Adha  teaches us lessons of devotion and sacrifice. The obedience to Allah, the sacrifice, and the selfless loyalty of  Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), peace be upon him,  were so beloved by Allah, the Lord of all creation, that He decreed them to be observed by believers until the Day of Judgment.

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...

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama - Summary:

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Surah Hijr: This Juz starts with Surah Hijr (the chapter’s first verse is in Juz 13 though), which talks about the people living in the Valley of Hijr (Hegra) i.e. the Tribe of Thamud.  • This brief chapter is uniquely themed at the foundational principles of Islam: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Risalah (messengership), and the Hereafter. • Allah tells Prophet Muhammed ﷺ that though the disbelievers do not wish to accept Islam, a time will come when they wish they should have accepted it. • As per a hadith, this will happen when they’ll see some Muslims too in Hell, undergoing a punishment. The disbelievers who knew them in life one earth will then taunt them and say that they were Muslims and how come they are in Hell. • However, at the completion of the Muslims’ punishment tenure, Allah will place them in the Heaven. Seeing it, the disbelievers will wish that they should have accepte...

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...
