Muslims need not only to vote but

Find peace in your heart

Being happy doesn’t mean That everything is perfect, pristine. It means you’ve chosen to see Beyond the flaws, to what can be. Grateful to Allah, you stand, Blessings counted, life in hand. In imperfections, beauty lies, Seen through grateful, loving eyes. True contentment is being pleased with Allah for what we are given and have. Focus, recognise and be grateful to the blessings from Allah to find peace in your heart.

12 Rak’ah from the Sunnah

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever persists in performing twelve Rak’ah from the Sunnah, a house will be built for him in Paradise: four before the Zuhr, two Rak’ah after Zuhr, two Rak’ah after Maghrib, two Rak’ah after the ‘Isha’ and two Rak’ah before Fajr.’” حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّازِيُّ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم

Common Health Issues During Hajj

RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION People from all over the world bring with them all kinds of infections, and the unavoidable closeness of the hundreds of thousands of Hujjaj facilitates easy spread of those illnesses.

Obsession with Dreams

People are excessively obsessed with dreams. Their concern for things which they dream of, is greater than their concern for things which affect them during their state of wakefulness. How confused are they! Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (Hayaatul Muslimeen)

In every one of Allah’s commands there are manifold benefits and much wisdom, of which the significance’s and deeper meanings are mostly of such depth that our minds cannot conceive them. But many of the inner meanings on the other hand are such that everyone’s mind can comprehend.
