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, and you will remain a king your entire life.” The king became very pleased, showered him with gifts and remained content with him whilst angry with the first dream-interpreter.


If you contemplate, you will realise that both of the interpretations were the same, the difference was in the way in which the interpretation was conveyed. Hence, the tongue is the master.


A person may utter a callous word that displeases Allāh for which He will be angry with him until the day He meets him. This is why the Prophet ﷺ warned people regarding not controlling the tongue as it may lead to one’s own destruction.


The Prophet ﷺ said, “When the son of Ādam wakes up in the morning, all of his body parts humble themselves in front of the tongue and say, ‘Fear Allāh for our sake! Our wellbeing depends on you. If you remain upright, so shall we. If you become crooked so shall we.'”

(Aḥmad, Tirmidhī)


Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said, “It is amazing how many people are strong enough to abstain from consuming unlawful wealth, fornication and theft and yet you are unable to abstain from moving their tongues. You will see such people speaking ill of others and unable to prevent themselves from doing so.”


Use the various modes of speech that would move people’s emotions. Speak to your mother in a soft tone and by using the most beautiful words, and the same goes to your father, husband/wife, children and colleagues. Speaking in this manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings they may have for you.


Animals have long tongues, yet they cannot speak, Man has a relatively short tongue, yet he cannot keep silent.

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...

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 😢 ...

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 ...

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.

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...
