The work of Allah swt is amazing. Two weeks ago, my mother was hospitalized for giddiness. She had been suffering from diabetics for a few years. She had been on modern medication. However, she had not been getting any better. Some advised me that she had to control her eating habits. She visited the doctor two days’ ago and she was advised to continue with her medication. She has to visit the doctor in another three weeks. I am thinking of making her recite the key of the treasures of the heaven and earth recommended by our great leader Prophet Muhammadصلاح على محماد صلالة عليه وسلام . One of the benefits that you can reap from this recitation is that “Two angels are appointed to guard him (the one who recite this) day and night from his sufferings and diseases”. You can read the detail benefits of this recitation here . One interesting to note here is this. My mother cannot read the English transliteration of the ‘holy’ praises from Arabic. Therefore, I have decided to write out the...

Do you love Allah (Glory Be To Him)? Majority of human race believe in some sort of super force managing their lives. It is not difficult to find someone who belief in God. In my first book ‘Jinn’ I have touched very mildly on this belief of God. However, our objective must be in line with Allah (Glory Be To Him) decree. There is no point in believing in Allah (Glory Be To Him) and ignorant of Allah’s (Glory Be To Him) guidance. What is Guidance? When we were young, our parents or guardians teach us what and what not to do. We were always being taught and reminded the ‘do’s ‘and ‘don’ts’. We listen and comply is because we ‘fear’ what may happen if we go out of the ‘rules’. We do not listen when we think that the pasture on the other side will be better than the present one. We were termed as rebellious. Everything has a limit. When we eat too much, our body does not make space for the fats to accumulate. It does not expand itself. As a result, our profile gets bloated and we become fa...

Be realistic. The legitimate reason for living is to be happy. How can then you be happy without material things? You need a house to live in, food and drink to appease your hunger and quench the thirsts, and clothing to cover your bodies. In order to fulfil the daily needs you need financial stability. But how can you attract unlimited wealth? What is the secret to financial freedom? The key to financial freedom lies in chapter 2 verse 261: THE PARABLE of those who spend their possessions for the sake of God is that of a grain out of which grow seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains: for God grants manifold increase unto whom He wills; and God is infinite, all-knowing. Who can be the best teacher than our Creator who teaches a paradoxical approach in financial stability? Allah swt teaches us by way of allegory. According to the above verse, Allah swt says that He enriches the one who gives or spend for the cause of Allah swt by 700 times – you give and get more. This is the illog...

The story of Mihraj or Ascension to the Heavens is a phenomenon only for our Prophet Muhammad saws. Whether you believe it or not it is all up to you. But when I read the story on and on I am beginning to know myself. Rasoolullah told us that if you want to know God – know thyself. It is a simple statement but to extract the essence of this message you need deep thinking about your self and your relationship with Allah swt. In that story, Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam brought Prophet Muhammad saws to the worlds of the unseen. He showed our beloved Prophet that part of faith (with the command of our creator) which we utter in our daily lives with our tongue that is ‘wal yawmil akhiri’. And when he reached the entry to Allah’s presence Hazereth Jibreel Alaihisalam shivered with fear. Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam said Prophet Muhammad saws, ‘stop, you go forward from here’. It has been stated in many hadiths that Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam gave a serious impression to the Prophet. When ...

In every religion prayer is an essential part of that particular religion. But only in Islam the steps to reach God is clearly stated through prayer. The problem of today's muslim is that they are so defensive with their religion but they do not know what they are defending about. We have been separated with the higher eternal living but yet we have a door to reach God in an instant. That door is what God has given us to use it whenever you want to communicate with God. That door is through our 5 times prayer. A prayer of a devout muslim is faster than a rocket. It reaches God instantly. And God loves a muslim who pray with piety in his or her heart. Apart from preparation , intention , and the vey act of prayer one thing you need to do is to see God in your prayer - and to see him with certaintly. Let me explain the concept of certaintly. What is certainty? In the chapter 102 Al Takathur or Piling Up God's admonition those who pile up wealth conciously forgetting the hereafte...

On Friday Oct 03 the world renowned Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani gave a speech on the importance of observing the daily prayers with sincerity and love. Here is just a gist of what was spoken in Fenton US. Prayers are the zones where you are most near to Allah swt to ask Him what you need. “In it , feeha yatasa” “feeha ma yaleeq min al – asrar- in it all kinds of secrets lies within in the prayer itself. Allah swt will open whatever secrets or blessings to His servant when he is praying and no one will know what lies within a specific prayer. Actually many people approach prayer through problems and when they face difficulties. Salathul al Haajjah is a prayer of fulfilling a need and the person who gets what he wanted forgot that the solution is from Allah swt. It is also important to ask a need from your heart not just merely ask by raising your hands as Allah swt says that He will respond to our calls in the Al Quran. In order to see whether our prayer is working for us is the effec...

I want to start a series of posts on prayer. “Prayer is the coolness of my eyes” said the Prophet PBUH. Every word of the Prophet is as true as the Holy Quran. How can prayer be soothing to him yet a boring “ritual” to most of us. If you ask a muslim to choose between a “going to the cinema” and "going to the mosque", the most likely urge is to choose the former. That is the reality of this age. Prayer is losing its popularity among muslims. The real reason is that we “cannot” see God in our prayer. If you are using the computer now can you ask this simple question - where is the electrical power coming from? The answer will be it is from the power socket. It is from the circuit distribution board, from the switch room, from the distribution center, from the power supply, from the power generator. One broken link in that chain and your computer will be useless. Similarly, if you cannot see Allah swt in your prayer – your link is broken and you are stuck in the boredom of rit...
