The diamonds are our life which we waste away in bits without any benefit ⏰:

- Once, a fisherman sat at the riverbank in darkness just before appearance of the dawn 🌌

He found a sack filled with stones 🪨


He picked a stone from the sack and threw it into the river. The sound of the stone as it landed in the water fascinated him so much 👂🏻


So he threw more and more stones into the river because the sound of the stones as they land in the river fascinated him 💓


As the sun appeared on the horizon, the content of the sack beside him became clearer 🌥


There was only a single stone left in the sack when the sun shone. So the fisherman looked at the last stone in the sack only to realize that it was a diamond 💎


Thus, it became clear to him that all these whiles, he has been throwing diamonds in the river, and not stones 😱


He started lamenting, regrettably saying, how foolish have I been?!!! 🥴


How could I be throwing diamonds into the river thinking that they were ordinary stones just to enjoy the sound that they make! By Allāh had I known its worth, I would never have been so reckless!!! 😭


Sadly, everyone of us is this man...‼️


The diamonds are our life which we waste away in bits without any benefit ⏰


The sound of the water is the enjoyment and desires of this life which shall vanish almost immediately 💭


The darkness of the night is the heedlessness with which we live our lives 🌌


The appearance of the dawn is the reality that sets in at the point of death - the point of no return. ⚰️ 


May Allah guide us & help us to live a productive, useful and beneficial life 

 🤲🏻 آمــــــــــين✨ ♥️

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.

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 ...

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...
