Show some Love

Valentine is here once again and I still stand by my position that it is unislamic. If you are already making plans and deciding on what to spend and how to spend, please conduct some thorough research on the position of Islam regarding this pagan practice. And I have a proposal for you. . .instead of spending all that money on a single day's event, how about do something to earn Allah's pleasure. There are so many hungry people in the world and it isn't because the world does not have enough food to feed them but because we are too selfish to care!

Now, how about spending that "Valentine Budget" to spread some love on people who cannot afford to eat. By so doing, you are actually spreading love in the way that Allah will be pleased with you. And guess what you will get all that back at a time when you truly need it. . .

My sister always says we only live twice. Whatever you do this life is an investment into the next. Save a life, make someone happy, earn a reward from Allah. What an offer! I sure won't miss this one! I hope you share in my enthusiasm. Good luck!

Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik nastagfiruka wa natubu ilaik.

Lessons From Ramadan

Assalam Alaikum,
Now that Ramadan is coming to an end, its time we review what we have learnt of Taqwa and Charity; and spread it out to other months of the year. As we all know, Ramadan is a learning month. It was sent in order for us to attain taqwa. As Allah said,"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ"
Therefore, the month is intended for us to attain taqwa not just for use in the month but for us to attain and maintain it. We have spent the month, praying, and giving in charity. This should not stop at the end of the month. The aim is to attain taqwa. May Allah help us.
With this little advice, I'd like to say Siyam Mabrour and Eid Mubarak.

It Only Takes a Click to Make That Difference

Assalam Alaikum.


I know I haven't written in a while but I was a bit down. Today,I have decided to share with you something really amazing. . .well, I'm sure some are aware but I still think it can serve as reminder to us all. It is the amazing click to donate websites available online. They cost nothing except the little time you spend clicking but make a huge difference in another person's life. They serve different causes - hunger, education, healthcare, and everything else you can think about; and help you earn rewards from your creator, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala). All you need to do is to make one simple click and a needy is helped. How about that?
