Level OF Imaan Keeps On Changing

0 Comments
By outside and by our names we all are Muslims but what is inside our heart is known as Imaan. Imaan is the thing that makes us a real Muslim not just our Islamic names or our looks. In English Emaan is translated as faith. another word used for Emaan is belief.


Having Imaan inside our hearts is what makes us Momin. Having a strong Imaan and then doing good deeds are the requirements if we really want to be successful in hereafter.

A Muslim keeps Emaan in Allah, his angels, Prophets, his books, day of Judgement. When a Muslims keeps Emaan in these things then he also takes action in his life according to Guidelines told by Allah and his Prophet SAW.

Level of Emaan not always remains the same but it keeps on changing time to time. it keeps on increasing or decreasing depending upopn the deeds that we do. if we will keep on doing good deeds by avoiding the Haram acts then our Imaan will continue to get stronger. on other hand if we will start to do Haram acts then it will start to decrease with every haram act.

When you feel your Imaan is weaker then you need to recharge it by doing Zikr of Allah SWT as much as possible and by avoiding the haram acts. Offering Salah Regularly, helping the poor, Zikr of Allah, reciting Quran, respect of parents and speaking only good things from your mouth are some acts that will really boost up your Imaan.

Remember the more stronger Emaan you will have the more higher place you will get in Jannah. according to a Hadith there are 70 levels of Emaan. so try to have a stronger Emaan if you want Jannatul firdous in hereafter.

In Which Condition One Should Go To Mosque

0 Comments
Mosque or Masjid is Holy Islamic place where we Muslims go to offer Salah. We go to Mosque to do meeting with our creator 5 times a day. Mosque is also called House of Allah. What place can be more holy than Mosque where Zikr of Allah is done every moment of the day.

As Mosque is so important place there are some things we should follow while going to Mosque which i am going to mention below.

Try to go to mosque with good breath. do Miswak or toothbrush. also avoid eating Onions or Garlic before coming to mosque. there is also a hadith regarding this. "Whoever eats onions, garlic or leeks, let him not come near our masjid, for the angels are offended by what is offensive to the sons of Adam.

Try to go to Mosque with clean body and clean dress. if your body needs bath then take it and then go to Mosque.

its also Sunnah to use Fragrance so try to go to Mosque after using Fragrance on your dress.

when you enter mosque then close or silent your Mobile Phone. these days lot of people goes to Mosque by keeping ringtone of their Phone on and during Salah Phone starts to ring when someone calls which creates disturbance in Salah of all people.

In Mosque try to keep the dress above the Ankles if you are a male.

Read Dua of entering Mosque when you enter door of Mosque.

Say Asslam Alikum to other people in Mosque.

these are few things that we should keep in mind when we go to Mosque to offer Salah.

Islam Teaches To Treat Minorities In Good Manner

0 Comments
Minorities have many rights in Islam and Quran and Sunnah have not allowed Muslims to treat them badly.Allah swt has commanded Muslims to treat peaceful minorities in a kind manner as mentioned in the following verse of Quran:

All�h does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, All�h loves those who deal with equity. (Al-Mumtahinah 60:8)

We are not even allowed to preach them harshly and cannot force them to change their religion as mentioned in the following verse:

And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting them to Isl�mic Monotheism with His Verses), except with such of them as do wrong, and say (to them): "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you; our Il�h (God) and your Il�h (God) is One (i.e. All�h), and to Him we have submitted (as Muslims)." (Al-'Ankabut 29:46)

Similarly there are many hadiths which tell us to treat minorities in the best possible ways. One hadith addressing the issue is as follow:

Narrated A number of Companions of the Prophet:

Safwan reported from a number of Companions of the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) on the authority of their fathers who were relatives of each other. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Beware, if anyone wrongs a contracting man, or diminishes his right, or forces him to work beyond his capacity, or takes from him anything without his consent, I shall plead for him on the Day of Judgment. (Sunan Abu Dawud : Book 19 , Hadith 3046 )

In the light of above mentioned verses and hadith it is the duty of Muslims to treat minorities in the best possible way. Those people who are involved in accidents of Lahore have indeed done a wrong and inhumane act which cannot be justified by any means and culprits behind this accident must be dealt accordingly.

Another dark side of this accident is that some radical secular elements in our society use these accidents to criticize blasphemy laws. They must know that the violence in our society is due to the lawlessness in our society. If there is strong enforcement of laws conspirators and trouble makers cannot exploit the situation. People always take laws in their hands when they have doubts about the implementation of laws or law enforcement agencies.

Don't Twist The Words of Holy Quran

0 Comments
A major reason of misguidance and deviation is twisting and tampering of words of sacred texts of Quran and Hadith. Some people twist the words of Allah Swt and try to dilute or conceal the meanings of verses whereas some others mix falsehood with truth to deceive believers. Allah Swt have condemned all these people in Holy Quran on many occasions. two of these instances are as follows:


Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by All�h and cursed by the cursers. (Al-Baqarah 2:159)

O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): "Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?" (Aali Imran 3:71)

On another instance Allah swt has narrated mockery of some people from the Jews who twisted the words of Quran.Allah swt says:

Among those who are Jews, there are some who displace words from (their) right places and say: "We hear your word (O Muhammad SAW ) and disobey," and "Hear and let you (O Muhammad SAW) hear nothing"and "R�'ina" with a twist of their tongues and as a mockery of the right religion. And if only they had said: "We hear and obey", and "Do make us understand," it would have been better for them, and more proper, but All�h has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not except a few. (An-Nisa 4:46)

All these verses make it clear that tampering or editing of Holy texts is indeed a worst kind of misguidance and the believers are always good listeners and accept the message with open hearts without any tampering and editing.This fact has been narrated in the following verse of Quran:

The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to All�h (His Words, the Qur'�n) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise). (An-Nur 24:51)

May Allah make us able to follow guidance of Allah and His prophet salal laho aliehi wasalam without any addition, subtraction, deletion and tampering Ameen.

Conceal Faults of Others

0 Comments
We are human beings and all humans makes mistakes sometimes small and sometimes bigger. We are not perfect and there are many faults in all of us. Many a times we come to know about the faults of others like faults of our class fellows, friends, relatives and we immediately start to tell these faults to other people.


 This attitude is completely wrong and Haram in light of Islam. Islam teaches us to hide faults of others instead of spreading them. there are so many Hadiths whom's words are similar to like this:

Whoever conceals the faults of others, Allah will conceal his faults in this life and the Hereafter.

another hadith says

A believer is not a fault-finder and is not abusive, obscene, or course.

when we come to know about the faults of others then we should try to talk about it with that person to help him changing it instead of telling the world. by telling faults of others you will not only earn sin but will also lose respect and Allah SWT will also not hide your faults as mentioned in the Hadith.

however there are some conditions in which you cannot hide the fault of a person and you will have to share it with others. for example if a person is doing something that is harming another person and he is doing it repeatedly then you should tell about it to the person who is getting harmed.

If fault of a person is related to rights of Allah then you should hide it. for example if a person not offers Prayer regularly. you should not tell this to everyone. instead you should talk about it with that person.

so these are some points that we should keep in mind about the faults of other people. May Allah SWT guide us to right path Ameen.

Muslim Men Without Beard and Women Without Hijab

0 Comments
Why is it that some Muslim men don't keep a beard and some Muslim women don't wear hijab? Among other reasons, the social factor is a very important one.


We always have the need to fit in. Some don't want to look like Muslims because the people they hang out with don't like Muslim look. They don't have the guts to stand out for the sake of Allah, because being a part of the gang is more important.

Some Muslims don't choose the Muslim look because they feel it is uncool. One has got to be cool, oh yeah!!!

I can't help asking, though... If suddenly the movers and shakers of the world decide that the Muslim look is SO COOOOOL, what will they do? They will grab the Muslim brand in no time. Because the whole idea is to fit in! To be cool!!!

We have to remember one thing though, on The Judgement Day, we will be on our own.

Hadith Qudsi 5:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (radhi Allahu anhu), who said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Allah (glorified and exalted be He) said:

I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.

It was related by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).

May Allah forgive us all and help us do things ONLY for His sake, and not because of the "what will people say" or "I don't feel like it" factor.
