When Prophet Musa stood in front of the Red Sea, a tyrant and his army approached from behind. Some of those in Musa's midst began to divide. Looking ahead, those people saw only defeat: "And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: 'We are sure to be overtaken.'"(Qur'an, 26:61). But Musa had different eyes. His eyes were spiritual eyes that saw through the illusions of

27.05.05 We came into this world alone and we will end it in lonliness. Truth is no longer spoken on the lips, just lies and deception. Trust is no longer to be found, and rarely a sincere heart. The already dead are remembered, as those living carry on in a state of unconsciousness. What is love and what is it for? Only the true heart for the True Being is all that remains of the flesh and

Richness is not found in wealth, as wealth can diminish. Nor can it be found in beauty, for beauty fades with age. Its found in good character & kind hearts. So treat people in such a way & live amongst them in such a manner that when you die they make du'a for you & when you are alive they benefit from you & they thank Allah Most High...

A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this

Since Islam is defined as way of life the scope of Islam and life should be fully convergent. As Islam is based on human nature, it also fully takes into account that nature, in its entire dimension. As a reflection of many different types of extremities among us as Muslims, some have divorced Islam in search of their jest and fun. Others, due to their "love" for Islam, have purified Islam and

Prophet Musa (AS) said:"O My LOrd, the people say things about me which are not true!" So Allah revealed to him: "O Musa, I did not make that(priveledge) for Myself, so how can I make it the case for you?"[Al- Adab Al Shariyyah by ibn Muflih]Remember this:Next time you hear others saying something about you that isn't true.
