Sell your Soul before you're Sold.





















How perfect is Almighty Allah (swt)!In the soul of man is the pride of iblis,the jealousy of Qabeel,the insolence of the people of A'd,the tyranny of thamud,the temerity of namrud,the arrogance of pharaoh,the wrongdoing of Qarun,the trickiness of the people of sabt,the rebelliousness of Al-waleed,the ignorance of haman,.


The soul of a man also has many characteristics of beast.He has the avacarice of a crow, the glutonny of a dog, the dislay of the peacock,the filth of the hog,the malice of the camel,the predatory nature of the lion,the venom of the sanme,the frivolity of the ape,the greed of the ant and the deception of the fox.

Such a commodity(soul) must be refined by faith and purified by repentance and attentiveness in worship.The commodity must also be protected from defects or from being destroyed,so as to alow the buyer to accep it.

“Your souls are precious, and can only be equal to the price of Paradise. Therefore, sell them only at that price.” ~Hazrat Ali(r)

"Verily Allah ta'la has purchased of the believers their lives..."Qur'an(9:111)

Shun Your Tension.













Some eyes are restless whilst others are in sleep In meditating that which may or may not occur , So leave the worrying as much as possible As carrying the burdens of anxiety is madness .There is your Lord, who provided you with the solutions to yesterday And He will similarly provide for what is to come today.Let events flow in their predestined path And do not sleep except with a clear mind .Between the period of a blinking of an eye and it’s opening Allah changes things from one state to another.

1. Know that if you do not live within the scope of today, your thoughts will be scattered, your affairs will become confused, and your worrying will increase these realities explain the hadith: “When you are in the morning, do not expect to see the evening, and when you are in the evening, do not expect to see the morning.”

2. Forget the past and all that it contained. Being absorbed in things that are gone is sheer lunacy.

3. Do not be preoccupied with the future. Because the future is in the world of the unseen, do not let it bother you until it comes.

4. Do not be shaken by criticism; instead, be firm. And know that, in proportion to your worth, the level of people’s criticism rises.

PIETY~Buy it by earning pure provision and performing all the obligatory deeds in the best possible way.

PATIENCE~Buy it whenever a calamity fall upon you by saying to yourself within yourself-What have I lost?Lost I have nothing nor will I, for what belongs to me that I may lose.

PROSPERITY~Buy it by spending something,sometime,some smile openly and secretly with orphans and widows,needy ones and the down trodden ones.


PARADISE~Buy it by rendering good amount of service to your parents in general and your mother in specific for it lies beneath her feet.

Paradox of western world.





Western world have guided rockets and missiles but misguided thier own men and women.
They have split the atom but couldn't thier own prejudice.
They have purified the air but polluted the soul.
They have discovered many wonderful things but couldn't discover the Mighty Creator.
In other words they did small things but not big ones,optional ones but not necessary ones.~Hamed.

Everytime Everything Worships.



Ibn Atallah Rahimahullah:

“What has he lost who has found you (O Allah), and what has he found who has lost you (O Allah)”

Fakhr ad-Dln ar-Razl, one of the great commentators upon the Quran said:
The worship of the eyes is weeping,the worship of the ears is listening,the worship of the tongue is praising,the worship of the hand is giving,the worship of the body is efforts and the worship of the soul is surrenderance and satisfaction in Allah.



From the Wise Sayings of Luqman:

“If you’re in prayer, take care of your heart;

If you’re eating, take care of your throat;

If you’re in another man’s house, take care of your eyes;

If you are among people, take care of your tongue.

Remember two matters and forget two matters:

Remember Allah (SWT) and death;

Forget any good that you have done to another and any evil that was done to you by another.”

The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him[17:44]

Life's shadow...





















In this world neither every bliss is a blessing nor every pain is a punishment,neither our sorrows are permanent nor our joy in hereafter will be temporary.This life is but a cutting throat test for us (belivers) and shadow like paradise for them (disbelievers).In the end both of us will have eternal life.The former in full of peace and bliss and the latter in full of agony and in the depths of despair~Hamed.

Life is just like a dream that passes as fast as clouds.It is a mere hour of time that soon fades away.It is a journey that has already started and will soon come to an abrupt end.~Abdul Malik Al-Qasim.
