Don't Die Except As Muslims

Death for a Muslim is the beginning of the next journey. It is the first stop to eternity. All future stops will be determined by your death. The next stop will be the life in the grave -- it's either a torment or blessing. Then Judgment Day, when everyone will find their final abode -- Paradise or Hell. There is no other stops after this. 

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ 

O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]

[Qur'an, AleImran 3:102]

Worship Allah Sincerely

Allāh has commanded us to worship and obey Him with sincerity, out of reverence, love and thankfulness. 

وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ ٱلْقَيِّمَةِ ‎﴿٥﴾

Allāh says in the Qur’ān, “And they are ordered to serve Allāh only, keeping religion pure for Him,

to remain upright, and to establish worship and to pay the alms-due. That is true religion” 

[Qur’an, Al Bayyinah 98:5]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Bring Quran close to your heart...

Make Quality Time for the Quran -- recite with calmness and presence of heart, as well as study the meanings of the verses.

Create a Wholesome Quran Experience -- Engage your eyes while reading the text. Busy your tongue with measured and melodic recitation. Fill your ears with personal recitation or listen to other reciters. Encourage others to connect with the Quran too.

Connect to Daily Life -- Keep the Quran close to you – to recite and listen to it  frequently. Ponder deeply and take lessons from meanings, trying to connect these with daily life events. Connecting with such lessons (patience, forgiveness, modesty, hope etc.) will evoke emotions.

Open Your Heart --The Quran has been given to us as a gift for guidance. Guidance to the path of peace we often crave. Our hearts are always yearning for peace, and calmness amidst our busy lives.

Ask Allah Almighty -- Make sincere Du’a for a heart that is attached to the Quran and submits to it. And limbs that act upon it’s teachings and a character that is reformed through the lessons within.

Sincerity With Quran

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Quran refused to be learned for the sake of other than Allah. The one who is sincere will learn it and the one who is not will quit eventually.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Strenthen your Islamic family values

The Islamic family system is a system that is designed to promote strong and loving families. It is facing a number of challenges today. Among the reasons, are the breakdown of the traditional family values, which is a global phenomenon, the economic pressures of modern life, the rise of social media and other forms of technology, and the increasing influence of culture that promotes values that are incompatible with Islamic values, such as individualism, sexual promiscuity, and materialism. 

Be vigilant and strengthen your Islamic family system --

*Spend time together as a family

*Communicate openly and honestly with each other.

*Show respect for each other

*Be compassionate towards each other

*Fulfill your responsibilities towards each other.

*Make sure that your children are learning the Quran and *receiving a good Islamic education

*Encourage your children to participate in Islamic activities

*Set a good example for your children, living your life in accordance with Islamic values

*Make your home a place of peace and tranquility

Your Endless Good Deeds

Your Endless Good Deeds

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "When a human being dies, all of his deeds are terminated except for three types: an ongoing charity, a knowledge (of Islam) from which others benefit, and a righteous child who makes du'a for him." [Muslim and others]

May Allah grant us righteous offspring, increase us in beneficial knowledge and on-going charity. Aameen

Be With The Righteous Servants of Allah to Learn Good Manners

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Be with the righteous servants of Allah to learn good manners

وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلْجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا ‎﴿٦٣﴾

 

 "And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, (63)" [Quran, Al Furqan 25:63]

 

The defining characteristic of a servant of Allah is the lack of arrogance. They have humility and they are humble. They are not known for abrasiveness, callous and harsh manners. They are interacting with people and they are not hermits. They are involved in society and active with their communities. When some person confronts them or want to start an argument, they don't even get involve in the argument. They have good manners.
