Quran vs. Cellphone

Cell phone vs. Quran


Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat

our cell phone?


What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?


What if we flipped through it several time a day?


What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?


What if we used it to receive messages from the text?


What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?


What if we gave it to kids as gifts?


What if we used it when we traveled?


What if we used it in case of emergency?


This is something to make you go....hmm... where is my Quran?


Oh, and one more thing.


Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Quran being
disconnected .


Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?

And no dropped calls!


Trust in the Lord and *ASAP (Always Say A Prayer)

P.S this is not my saying. i recieved it from an e-mail. Sharing it, I thought, would be caring:)

Truth-Barrie Wade

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words can also hurt me.
Stones and sticks break only skin,
while words are ghosts that haunt me.
Slant and curved the word-sword fall
to pierce and stick inside me.
Bats and Bricks may ache through bones,
but words can mortify me
Pain from words has left its scar
on mind and heart that's tender
Cuts and Bruises now have healed;
It's words that I remember.

"The tongue can be kind or monstrous" as a saying in our language goes, and it is true. But as a muslim our tongues should only be moved with words of kindness.
As a shaikh once said, "We use this tongue to praise Allah and read Quran so why use the same tongue that moments ago was praising Allah to harm someone else or to say explicit words?
I myself am guilty with the habit of jokingly saying mean words. But i realized that this too is wrong of me, The Prophet (S.A.W) said himslef, something to the nearest meaning of, A true believer is that whom other people are safe from his hands and tongue.
This is something we should all practice, to save our tongues from sin because it is the tongue which can easily be caught in the trap of shaytan (ie. backbiting)

Pride vs. Humbleness

"A sin which makes one meek and humble is better than a good deed which makes one proud and arrogant" ~Al-Hikam- Ibn Ataullah

Quran replaced by Newspapers?

Salaamalaikum
yes long time no post...but here we go
So the other day we had taleem with the family..n i forget what we were talking about but i remember that my brother mentioned something so sad but yet true...
He said its funny how when the reporter on the news tells us something about UFOs we would instantly believe it but yet when we read the Quran or the saying of our beloved Prophet (SAW) we doubt it or we question it...
And then i was thinking that is so true. i mean if we get a warning about a Tornado or some disaster that might hit us, we become so cautious and start preparing things for our safety yet when we know that the day of Judgment, the day when all will be dead by a loud horrific sound and then raised back with that same sound, we do not fear and we do not prepare ourselves for it...
So we believe the news but not our Quran??
something we all should think about...
think,ponder,learn...

No god but Allah

I love this nasheed it just goes to show that Allah is there for us and he does repond to our calls...
here is the translation:
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
We have no God but Allah
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
We have no God but Allah
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
No God but Allah
We have no God but Allah

Our Lord , the one who knows what is inside the hearts
From dawn till sunset Allah guide those who sin

His forgivness and generosity are blessings
So always seek his approval

Thankfulness

Recall people in your life, whom you may have taken for granted like your parents, spouse, children, co-worker, or teacher, who were caring and loving.

List some of Allah’s gifts that are not tangible or were not obvious to you before. Sulayman, a follower of the Prophet’s Companions, once said: “Remembering His blessings makes one love Allah.”

This simple mental exercise not only makes you a grateful person, but also a healthy one. According to a 2001 research by the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love (IRUL), based in Ohio, just 15 minutes a day focusing on the things you are grateful for will significantly increase your body’s natural antibodies, will make you less vulnerable to clinical depression,and will keep your blood pressure and heart rate stable.

I found this in a forward it is by brother Taha Ghayyur. I think it's so interesting how all our complains and ungratefulness actually affects our mental and physical beings. Why can we not be satisfied with what we have? Humans, they are creatures that always want even sahabahs and great awliya wanted but they wanted to please Allah S.W.T while our average human being wants for thenselves... as my Tafseer teacher said we do shirk how?? by Worshipping ourselves.. how do we worship ourselves?? when Allah S.W.T orders to do something but we do not do it because it goes aginst our own comfort or our own will...
May Allah helps us to understand the true meaning of life and deen and may He make us people who want only to please Him. Ameen.
