Bismillah hirahman niraheem

Asalam O alaekom

Dear Brothers & Sisters of Islam,
I have decided to do something for the sake of Islam I wish to build a platform where people from all around the Muslim world can work and help spread the words of peace and to develop a system of civilization of great integrity and moral values but for which I need a massive amount of contribution from the whole Muslim Ummah

My Plan includes two targets for now

1) Our Film Industry
 If we make more and more Islamic films like the one coming this year " the tug of war " by Mohammad Zeyara and films like that it will add awareness to the Islamic culture and people will start watching inspirational Islamic videos rather than movies from the Non-Muslim world
Which ultimately will add value to the Muslim communities and our people will have a lot of good activities in there spear time

2) Our Fashion Industry
If the Muslims from all parts of the world get united to share there ideas idealizing the Muslim clothing then the Muslim world would look more beautiful than it is today Muslims will get more stronger spreading there Muslim branded clothes which will result in there financial growth

Story Of A Married Couple-Sana And Khalil

By Sidra Kaukab · Add Comment

Once upon a time there was a beautiful married couple they both were very pious and loved each other deeply. After some days of marriage Sana felt bored at home she wanted to do something for ummah. One night after eating dinner, She asked her husband’s permission for doing a job, but Khalil did not say anything. Next day Khalil did not go to his office. He had locked his self in the room and Sana heard so many noisy voices from inside the room. But Sana had no idea that what was going on.
After Maghrib prayer, Khalil asked Sana to get ready. During driving he asked Sana that what kind of books she liked to read. She told him that she liked to read Islamic literature. Soon after, Khalil went to an Islamic bookstore and asked She to buy some books for him. Next, they went to Barnes and Nobles bookstore and collected many different kinds of books. She also buys some Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese cookbooks.
That evening they ate dinner together at their favorite Restaurant, and after this they went to the masjid for praying. When they returned home Khalil carried all the books they had bought earlier and placed all the books in the room. He asked Sana to go to sleep but she could hardly sleep! She was wondering what was happening on and was tempted to go to the room and see but had eventually fallen asleep. At around 4am Khalil called for Tahajjud prayer. Afterwards, he asked her to close her eyes and took her to the room he had been in all day, and asked her to open her eyes. She opened her eyes and was amazed to see a lovely small library. Her husband had made her an office at home! He had even bought a laptop for her and set everything up, ready to use!
Khalil turned to her and said, “Dear Sana, I love you for the sake of Allah Subhana Wa Ta’ala. I am also responsible for you and I want to protect you always. You have asked my permission to work and I respect you, however, I want to make you happy. I hope you like my gift. I do not want you to work for any other man but me. Still, if you feel that you want to work outside the home, then I will not force you. It would however make me upset.”
“Men are the protectors and maintainers [qawwaamoon] of women, because Allah has given the one more [strength] than the other, and because they support them from their means…” (Qur’an 4:34)
Sana smiled and frankly said that he can work for her. She thanked him for the arrangements and agreed to work at home. Every day when Khalil came home, he would find his wife busy in books taking in the knowledge and wisdom that they gave her. With the passage of time, she started to give him advice from what she had learned and which was to prove beneficial for his company. Khalil also taught her about his business, and even allowed her some responsibility with some of the projects at work. He paid her generously for her little work and spent lots of time with her so that she would not feel alone.
This arrangement worked successfully for both husband and wife, and in time, they had four beautiful children’s.
One day, Khalil had a car accident and he suffered from a knee injury. The doctors said that he would not be able to walk for at least six months or so. Sana did all the work of home alone and takes care of her husband. After a month they suffered from financial crisis and Sana asked her husband to join a school for teaching. Her husband permitted her.

Sana would work all day at the school and then come home to take care of her children and Khalil. With the passage of time her husband had recovered from the accident and thanked Sana for everything. Now he was able to go to work. Sana leaves her job and stayed at home. Khalil was grateful for what she had done and thanked her for being such a wonderful and supporting wife.

The Prophet (Pbuh) made every individual in the Islamic Society responsible for those under his or her authority in such a way that no-one, man or woman may evade responsibility (Ideal Muslimah, 190).
He (Pbuh) said:
“Each of you is a shepherd, and each is responsible for those under his care. A ruler is a shepherd; a man is the shepherd of his family; a woman is the shepherd of her husband’s house and children. For each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for those under his care.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
The Prophet (Pbuh) indeed spoke the truth when he said:
“This world is nothing but temporary conveniences, and the greatest joy in this world is a righteous woman.” (Muslim 10/56)
Allah’s Messenger (Pbuh) said:
“O people! Fear Allah concerning women, Verily, you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by Words of Allah! It is incumbent upon them to honor their conjugal rights and, not to commit acts of impropriety which, if they do, you have authority to chastise them, yet not severely. If your wives refrain from impropriety and are faithful to you, clothe and feed them suitably.” (Ar Raheeq Al Makhtum Page 541)

Prophetic Medicine- Cancer Cure

Cancer Cure

Death is something which we cannot run from. Its always going to be awaiting each and every one of us. We must remember this as a Muslim. When we are given News of an illness it is just a reminder that we will die one day, however death itself is guaranteed whereas an illness isn’t.

Put simply, the Cancer doesn’t mean those who have it will die before those who don’t. Its just a way Allah is reminding you and those around you of death so we don’t forget why we are here.

A dua (supplication) for cancer. I believe first the Qur’an cures Cancer and second I believe that if you are meant to be cured that it will happen. I ask you first to pray for all the people who are suffering from incurable diseases and second for myself for posting it for you and third for anyone who shares this to anyone on Twitter, Facebook or through an email or website.

Let us also emphasize that a dua (supplication) is good only when the intention is correct. To be cured of cancer you should also follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) using black seeds and honey.

Here is an article on a woman who cured herself by black seeds: Cancer Cure Using Black Seeds

Healing cancer takes a total protocol, Every mercy falls under the mercy of the Prophet (Peace be upon him): Health is a Mercy, Wealth is a Mercy, To be in a good position in this life is a Mercy, To be in good standing in the hereafter is a Mercy. All the mercies that’s coming, Allah SWT put in the hearts of our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and his family. So the one to whom Allah SWT, bestowed His Mercy knows what kind of remedy will help against every sickness.

Shaykh Nazim is carrying knowledge of Prophetic medicine that he has inherited by his spiritual connection with the Prophet through the chain of saints. He explained that there is a dormant cancer in every human being. It doesn’t awaken except in certain patients. He said the best thing is to take onion juice. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said that althoughonion and garlic have a bad smell, they are cures for 70 different illnesses that cannot be cured by any other means. So people of Allah, recommend onion juice.

There was a lady. She had a tumour in her head. She had a child. On behalf of Shaykh Nazim who told her to drink water after reciting Surat Al-Fatiha (the first chapter of Qur’an)  Seven times and blow it onto this water. One week later she had an x-ray at the hospital and thetumour was gone. It’s not because she read or she took the onion juice, it’s because she believed that it could happen. She believed in Allah,and she believed in the Prophet (Peace be upon him). So a year later people saw her again, and she had been cancer free for the whole time with no operation and no chemotherapy. So recommendation for people with this problem is to take onion juice and to read Surat Al-Fatiha seven times on water, and drink it. If they are not able, someone else can read Surat for them.

DUA FOR THE CURE OF ANY ILLNESS

Ayesha (R.A.) stated that when anyone among them had an illness, Prophet Mohammad (SAW.) used to rub the area of the pain reciting the following dua:

أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءٌ لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمَاً

“O Lord of the people, remove this pain and cure it, You are the one who cures and there is no one besides You who can cure, grant such a cure that no illness remains”.

“Ayesha (R.A.) stated that when Prophet Mohammad (SAW.) was ill, he used to recite the four Quls, blow on his hands and pass them over on the back and front. He also recited these surahs, blew on his hands and passed them over his body during his fatal illness” [Bukhari, Muslim]

The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said that:

” Zamzam water is what one intends to drink it for. When one drinks it to be healed, Allah heals him; when one drinks it to be full, Allah makes him full; and when one drinks it to quench his thirst, Allah quenches it. ” [Ahmad, and Ibn Majah]

If You Have No Kids

One of the greatest pleasure ALLAH subhana hu wa tala has given a human being is having kids. Its considered a central dogma of life; one grows up, gets married and has kids! Unfortunately this central dogma is not same for some people. Some married couples, despite of having an utmost urge of being parents, are some how deprived of this basic human pleasure. Today we would be going to discus a bit touchy topic, if you have no kids, is it end of life ? or what ? how to deal with childlessness efficiently ?

Unfortunately as a community, sensitivity is not our strength. With the vibrant mix of culture and accents, people can say some really insensitive things which many times are unintentional. Sadly, couples who don’t have children are very often on the receiving end of those comments. As a result, many sisters in particular start to feel deficient and question Allah’s decree. Often sisters feel insecure about there married life, and forecast them selves helpless in their late ages. Realities are there, but if you have no kids, still there is much more to see in life. And specially as a muslimah, you have to be content and patient ! Following are some line of hope, that can boost your emaan and self confidence if you have no kids;

Children are a test: 

Allah subahana hu wa tala has said in the Quran “Money and Children are the joys of this world” but at the same place HE also says “know that your money and children are but a test for you“. In that sense, just as Allah tests some people with wealth and others with poverty, He tests some with children and others with not having children. Just as not having money is in no way a sign of Allah’s displeasure, not having childrendoes not indicate Allah’s not being pleased with you. Rather Allah tests us all in unique ways knowing what we can and can’t handle. Remember ALLAH tests by giving and taking, in your case, may be HE is judging you by not giving. If HE has chosen you for this trial, be patient and stead fast.
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient [Al Baqara:100]

You are not incomplete:

If You have no kids, it in no way means that you are “deficient” or “incomplete”. One of the greatest women of all time who was described by the Prophet (peace be upon him) as having perfected her faith was Assiya Bint Muzahim (ra). She was the wife of Pharoah and never had children yet she has been cited by Allah as an example for all believing men and women. So don’t let insensitive people make you feel like you are any less than anyone else.

Focus on your other blessings:

ALLAH has blessed you with so many other blessings. Though you donot have children, but you still have all your body parts working proper,food to eat, place to live and many more blessings. There are lots of parents, who are blessed with a child but the child is not normal. Their kid is having some lethal genetics disorder, or has developed some deadly disease since birth. And they know even if their kid lives, he/she wouldn’t be living a normal life !

ALLAH’s wisdom is infinite:

When Allah mentions the story of Khidr (as) in the Quran, He mentions a couple losing their young child and this is from Allah’s infinite wisdom. We don’t know what the future holds and why Allah gives and withholds, but we trust that it’s always for our own good. Do not let this trust shake. you would definitely find many other sources of contentment.

Do not lose hope!

Sumitting to will of your Lord, doesn’t mean you can not hope or make dua. Do not stop making dua to Allah as the Quran has many examples of righteous people who were given children in their old age. Your dua can do wonders. But when you make dua, ask Allah to grant you children so they can serve the Deen as Zakariya (as) did. Its hadeeth; Nothing can change the Divine decree except Dua.

 hope this post will be somewhat helpful and if I have said anything offensive or insensitive, please realize it is not my intention what so ever.

May Allah bless us all with the best of this world and the next, and protect us from the punishment of the fire. ameen

Dua for Stress

Dua’s to Remove Depression and Worries

REMEDY FOR DEPRESSION AND WORRIES

The scholars of Islaam have extracted from the Qur’aan and the authentic Sunnah many remedies and cures to help us in our daily affairs and remove our Depression and Worries .

1. It was reported that the Prophet (PBUH) used to recite this Dua:

اللّهُـمَّ رَحْمَتَـكَ أَرْجـوفَلا تَكِلـني إِلى نَفْـسي طَـرْفَةَ عَـيْن، وَأَصْلِـحْ لي شَأْنـي كُلَّـه لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أنْـت

“O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave me to myself even for the blinking of an eye (i.e. a moment). Correct all of my affairs for me. There is none worthy of worship but You.” (Abu Dawud 4/324, Ahmad 5/42. Al-Albani graded it as good in Sahih Abu Dawud 3/959.)

2. In al-Saheehayn it was reported from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah (Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, when he felt distressed or depression and worries:

لا إلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظـيمُ الْحَلِـيمْ، لا إلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ العَـرْشِ العَظِيـمِ، لا إلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَـوّاتِ ورّبُّ الأَرْضِ ورَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَـريم

“La ilaaha ill-Allaah al-‘Azeem ul-Haleem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb il-‘arsh il-‘azeem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb is-samawaati wa Rabb il-ard wa Rabb il-‘arsh il-kareem”

“There is no god except Allaah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allaah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no god except Allaah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.” (Al-Bukhari 8/154, Muslim 4/2092, )

3. It was reported from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, when something upset him:

“Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom, bi Rahmatika astagheeth (O Ever-Living One, O Everlasting One, by Your mercy I seek help).”

4. It was reported that Asmaa’ bint ‘Umays (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me:

“Shall I not teach you some words to say when you feel distressed, Depression and Worries ?

اللهُ اللهُ رَبِّ لا أُشْـرِكُ بِهِ شَيْـئاً

‘Allaah, Allaah, Rabbee laa ushriku bihi shay’an’

Allaah, Allaah, my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him (Abu Dawud 2/87. See also Al-Albani, Sahih Ibn Majah 2/335.)

5. It was reported from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:

للّهُـمَّ إِنِّي عَبْـدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْـدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِـكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَـدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤكَ أَسْأَلُـكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّـيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أِوْ أَنْزَلْتَـهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْـتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِـكَ أَوِ اسْتَـأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْـبِ عِنْـدَكَ أَنْ تَجْـعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيـعَ قَلْبِـي، وَنورَ صَـدْرِي وجَلَاءَ حُـزْنِي وذَهَابَ هَمِّـي

‘Allaahumma innee ‘abduka wa ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘andak an taj’ala al-Qur’aana rabee’ qalbi wa noor sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi’

“O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety”

but Allaah will take away his sorrow and grief, and give him in their stead joy.” (Ahmad 1/391)

Dua's for success in exams

To remember forgotten things:

The following dua’a was taught by the Holy Prophet (S.A.) to Ali (A.S.), to be recited after every obligatory Salaat, for developing a flawless memory. You can make it a habit or at least increase recitation of this dua for exams time period :

سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَعْتَدي عَلى أهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَأخُذُ اَهْلَ الاَْرْضِ بأَلْوانِ الْعَذابِ سُبْحانَ الرَّؤوُفِ الرَّحيمِ اَللّـهُمَّاْجَعلْ لي في قَلْبى نُوراً وَبَصَراً وَفَهْماً وَعِلْماً اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَي قَديرٌ .  

Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory be to Him who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily Thou art able to do all things.

For good expressiveness in exams/ viva :

Prophet Musa had a problem of non fluent speech, This is the supplication of Prophet MUSA (peace be upon him)in surah taha, which he did to get compassion of ALLAH subhana hu wa tala :

”O my Lord ! open my chest for me and make my task easy for me and make loose the knot from my tongue so that they understand my speech” surah Taaha verse 25-28

Out of all duas for exams, this one is the one i recite more often, as its not only for exams, it helps to improve your expressiveness both written and verbal. So it can serve to be a multi purpose supplication , use it before delivering lectures and speeches, before vivas, interviews or at any place where you think you need it.

For maintaining concentration :

Following can be one of the best duas for exams, as most of us experience loss of concentration while preparing for exams or while attempting exam paper.

صلى الله على محمد وال محمد اللهم اني أسألك يا مدخر الخير وفاعله والآمر به ذكرني ما انسانيه الشيطان

“Salla-l-laahu alaa Muhammad wa aal-e Muhammad. Allahumma inni as’aluka yaa mudhakkira-l khayr wa faa’ilahu wa-l-aamimira bihi dhakir-ni maa ansaani-hi-shaytan.”

“Blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O Allah, I ask you, the one who mentions goodness and actualizes it and commands it, remind me of that which the shaytan makes me forget.”
