Indeed
in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow
for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and
remembers Allah much, (Al_Quran:033.021).
Those who have born must
have to die
regardless of any discrimination. Every Muslims must always prepare
what rewards he wants to get on the Day of Judgment, which includes
training their kids & family as well, (Ref: Al_Quraan_066.006).
Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him), lived in the world up to age of 63
years. That we number one must have to keep in his/her mind. If one
passed before that age, it is from Allah, and his call has come for
him/her. But if one lives over 63
years of age, it is a bonus life for him/her. Prepare yourselves and
train your kids & family to face all the modern challenges
depending upon your limited resources.
We need to note down,
what we want to
achieve on the Day of Judgment, which is not only dependent of Prayers
(Salah), rather each and every commandments of Allah in the Quraan.
Every Masjid must have extremely
restricted WiFi
ready,
folding chairs and tables, where Muslims can bring their own
laptops/netbooks and in the
state of Itikaf do research on the Quraan
and share it to others.
Concept of Just one thing
or at least do one thing is totally
wrong. The message of the Quraan is at most NOT at least. Just
think about Zakaat (Charity), which is very common among Muslims that
it is 2.5%
while the Quraan say whatever in excess (surplus) you have,
you need to give in Zakaat (Charity), (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.219).
Generally Muslims are
giving importance to Prayers (Salah) only, which is
totally wrong. There is NO Individual Islaam,
rather it is Collective
Islaam,
in which each and every Muslim is helpful to others as much as possible
without being over burden in addition to Prayers (Salah). Believers,
men and women, are Auliyaa (helpers & protectors),
(Ref: Al_Quraan_009.017).
Challenges are a lot
from around the
globe. Now it is time for all of us to open our eyes and return back
and reflect on the Quraan and Authentic Sunnah.
Justice is a central
theme in the Quraan, dictating the traditions of law and how should put
into practice.
Be judge to yourself,
your kids &
family, your community, your City, Province, State, Country and Global
World etc., in the light of the Quraan, since those who are unjust
are disbelievers, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.044-047).
Demands
of Quraan:
1> to believe in the Quraan;
2>
to read it;
3>
to understand it;
4>
to act upon its teachings;
5>
to convey its message and teachings to others.
… Recite the Quraan in
slow, measured rhythmic tones, (Al_Quraan_073.004).
(So don’t rush to finish
it, instead take your time to understand each and every Ayaat and REFLECT on it.)
Be a Role Model for your Child as
well as to the society. And make Duaa.
O my Lord! Increase me
in knowledge. (Ref: Al_Quraan_020.114) AMEEN.
O our Lord! grant us in
our wives and
our children the joy of our eyes, and make us guides to those who guard
(against evil). (Al_Quraan_025.074) AMEEN.
Parent
must help their kids from the day they born, for their Retirement Plan
according to the Quraan.
Crystal
Clear Messages are Millions of times better than Cosmetics and
Calligraphies (Khatati), etc.
