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 πŸͺ¨


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 πŸ‘‚πŸ»


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


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


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 πŸ’Ž


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?!!! πŸ₯΄


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 πŸ’­


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 

 πŸ€²πŸ» Ψ’Ω…Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€Ω€ΩŠΩ†✨ ♥️

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...

Business Etiquette from Prophet Muhammed's ο·Ί :

 * Prophet Muhammed's ο·Ί Business Etiquette* - In Islam, trade has always been recognised as an important aspect of human life. Before revelation came to Prophet ο·Ί, he earned his living as a trader. His integrity and veracity were quickly noticed by his employer, Sayyida Khadijah (RA), who later married him.  *★ Sadiq and Ameen* It was a result of his ο·Ί honesty and noble character that he ο·Ί was called as 'Sadiq' (truthful) and 'Ameen' (trustworthy) amongst the Makkans. Hazrat Abu Sufianؓ  (the bitterest enemy of Islam before he accepted Islam) said: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against Allah ο·». The Makkans agreed unanimously that Allah's Messenger ο·Ί was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir (ra) asked his son Ammar (ra), where he was going. Ammar (ra) said that he was going to the Prophet ο·Ί. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with him ο·Ί, he replied: "Muhammad ο·Ί...

Quran Juz 4 – Lan Tanalu - Summary

 - Quran Juz 4 – Lan Tanalu Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • It has been made clear that the intention behind spending and sacrificing in the Way of Allah should be to attain the pleasure of Allah. Since Allah knows what’s hidden in our hearts, it’s vain to show-off. • Beloved Prophet Muhammed ο·Ί used to consume camel’s milk and flesh. The Jews said that it has been prohibited in the Abrahamic religions. Though Prophet Muhammed ο·Ί did not learn to read and write formally & traditionally, he ο·Ί challenged them to bring Torah and prove the same if they were true. They couldn’t. • Sayyiduna Yaqoob (alaihissalam) himself forbade from consuming camel’s milk and flesh, and that wasn’t a prohibition from Allah. Just like Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (ra) self-prohibited honey consumption, keeping in view the poverty of the then Muslims. • Verses 95 to 97 talk about the Hajj obligation on those who can afford.  • Allah states that Kaba in Ma...

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 t...

His famous saying, “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave,” underscores the importance of continuous learning: The kind teacher-

 - While majority are celebrating Teacher's Day, below is my reflection about a teacher: *Prophet Muhammad: A Teacher for All Times* Prophet Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is not only revered as a religious figure but is also celebrated as a remarkable teacher whose teachings continue to inspire and guide millions of people across the globe. His role as a teacher extends far beyond the boundaries of religion, and his teachings serve as a timeless source of wisdom and guidance for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. *The Role of Prophet Muhammad as a Teacher Moral and Ethical Guidance:*   Prophet Muhammad’s teachings are characterized by a strong emphasis on moral and ethical values.

It is also called Surah Mani’ah.  •        By the Will of Allah this Surah is considered to be a protection against the torment of grave to the one who recites it frequently. •        In this chapter Allah spoke about the purpose of life for humans and genies, and that life is a test.  •        The Quran also speaks that quality is better than quantity, in terms of anyone doing anything. •        Allah then says that none can find any defect in His creation – and by saying this he cited the example of Him creating 7 skies, one above the other.  •        Then the Quran talks about the dialogue between the keeper of Hell and the inmates of the place (sinners).
