Excerpt from Yusuf Kandhlawi (rah)’s speeches and notes.

Allah says:  

“the righteous is that one believes in Allah and the Last Day…” (2:177)  

What does it mean to believe in the last day?  

One removes oneself from excessive concerns of today and tomorrow. There is no certainty the problems and needs that one worries about will occur or not. Because there is no certainty about whether one lives today or tomorrow.  

There is no certainty whether tomorrow exists. So are uncertain matters associated with tomorrow.  

What is certain then?

That is the day of judgment. A day of fifty thousand years.

“to whom ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the length of which is fifty thousand years”. (70:4)  

The matters and needs of that day are certain.  So prepare for it.

I got this information my twitter mutual.

As of November 17th, Air India's non-veg meals will no longer be Halal-certified. However, you can pre-book MOML (Muslim Meal) while booking your ticket, which will be certified Halal.

I was planning to travel from Bhubaneshwar to my hometown in UP via train. I have never travelled via train but was thinking to travel this time due to tight budget. I wanted to ask is there an easy way/hack to pray during the journey. Have been seeing bad incidents lately against Muslims praying. Prayer is something which can’t skip. So can someone share their experience or give me some tips.

JazakAllah khair

Excerpt from Ibrahim Dewla’s speeches and notes.

Allah has created every human being for his worship, and obedience. Allah has prepared the means to sustain this human being while it is the responsibility of human beings to worship.  

But if this human being turns away from Allah this will render his heart blind. He will be unaware of reality.  

Just like the world becomes difficult for a blind person. Where should he go? Where should he stay? Similarly, for those who become blind to their religion, their life is laced with frustrations.  

“As for the one who turns away from My message, he shall have a miserable life, and We shall raise him blind on the Day of Judgement”. (20:124) 

This person’s condition will become difficult. Why? Because they have no relationship with:  
(1)  Allah and 
(2) His creation 

This is a life of blindness and so the effects of blindness will manifest.  

This ‘blindness’ will be revealed in its true form on the day of judgment. That is this person will be resurrected blind.  

This is why a life without religion is a life of blindness.  

Personally I don't know much about the issue but I feel like the waqf is on the wrong side.

I was sitting in my Masjid and listening to the khutba when suddenly The Imaam sahab started speaking about some Ghous e Pak (I'm sorry I don't know him) he said he's a great man and that if we hold on to his ways he'll take us to Jannat the way a towing truck tows a car (He actually gave this example) and then he went ahead to talk about a man called Lote Wale baba who use to give water to people for wudu and once Ghous e Pak saw him and since that day his fate changed and now anyone who'd ask Lote Wale baba to make dua their dua got qubool.

Am I missing out on something major by not being aware of this entity?

I don't understand, why isn't Quran and Sunnah enough for a man to be a good Muslim? why do we need these Babas to help us get to Jannat?

any knowledgeable person out here please enlighten me.

"Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars. " in surat ankabut , this is your test and you have the choice if it's hard ask Allah for help , he will as long as you're being honest . Leave it for God Allah say in surat ankabut again "As for those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them along Our Way. And Allah is certainly with the good-doers."

I have realised that many young Indian Muslims don't realise the gravity of being a Liberal or following the religion called al-Libraliyyah or their own concoctions that they may call their 'religion', both of which entails a lot of things one of which is 'Declaring as Halal What Allah Has Made Unquestionably Haram'. No wonder, you would see these people declaring war on shari'ah or on ahkam revealed in the Kitab wa Sunnah. The 'ulama indulge in ijtihad but the laymen cannot and do not, thus should understand this matter clearly as it could have disastrous impact on their Islam.

Shaykh Joe Bradford recently wrote a concise and decent article quoting Ahnaf, Shawafi, Malikiyyah, Hanabilah, Zahiriyyah et. al. on the topic. This article was written due to a recent event occurring in the West, but the article serves as a good reminder to several Indian Muslims who in their zeal to look 'moderate', 'compassionate', and 'progressive' or due to following their base-desires and whims end-up falling into things which take them out of the fold of Islam. Please read this small but beneficial article by the Shaykh.

I hope this article helps Indian Muslims realise the gravity of the issue.

Please feel free to downvote and ignore the post/article if you disagree with it, as I don't have any time for discussing or debating things that are backed by innumerous dala'il from the nusus and also by ijmah of the 'ulama.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah wabarakatuh I'm born Muslim I didn't practice it until I was 18 I had during the first months of commitment of my religion struggles

I tried to be near to God and as much I tried it went harder and harder because I started to have bad thoughts wich I tried to hide it and doubts to my religion I was so desperate

I was in in massive depression that I wished I didn't exist

I was so naive that I didn't realise that it was a test Allah was testing me And I was blind to the verse: Do people think they will be left alone to say, "We believe," without being tested?

Allah wanted see if I'm being honest to him and if I really wanted to be near to him I remember one thing that I said back then I said Allah I really want that you exist even with these bad thoughts even if you don't exist (I know you will be laughing at this for me being ridiculous but believe me I didn't recognize that this all is the devil actions) I will live Muslim and die Muslim I felt very relieved and I always asked him to give me a sign at that time I said to him even if you don't show it to me I will be with you always till I die

And you know what after months he showed to me it was a miracle I can't tell it but believe me if Allah knows that you really want to be with him he will help you but the thing is you'll be tested in that test try to be with him don't talk to people talk to him cry in front of him tell him its hard for you Believe me you will succeed it is about the heart my sisters what is the difference between believers and disbelievers its the hearts if Allah knows in your heart good and honesty that you want to know him you want your reason of existence he will help you and take you easily from the dark and ease the hardships you're tested in until you succeed

I hope this open your eyes on things you're dealing with sometimes we forgot this and we stuck deep in the sadness we feel like its us being near to Allah but its completely the opposite I felt in my hardships more near to Allah and loved by him than the easy and comfort days dont give up

Remember there There is no escape from God except to Him no one will escape him even if you're away of him you won't be away after dead so live with him die with him so after life he will be with you

My name is Nada from Morocco I will try to help you as much as I can I'm born Muslim I didn't practice it until I was 18 I had during the first months of commitment of my religion struggles

I tried to be near to God and as much I tried it went harder and harder because I started to have bad thoughts wich I tried to hide it and doubts to my religion I was so desperate

Always ask Allah from the bottom of your heart to let you with him in easiest life where there is fitnah and the hardships when there is ibtilae

Believe me this duaas are the main fact for our sabr in hardship and ease sometimes how can I be this patient when I'm in reality so weak and I forget about the prayer my duaas to be always with him to take the hardships away from me it's miracle and that's the mercy of Allah we as humans forgot about our toughest days imagine our sincere prayers we forgot about it by time but Allah never forgets All praise to God

May Allah help us strenghten us and take us from this life Muslims and believers Good believers

hello everyone, since april-may, i've been running an

instagram account that used to share palestinian

fundraisers, and in the process i got to know about a

lot of palestinian families (all of them were vetted and

verified) my account recently got banned and the only

other account i have is a private one with 1 follower

which is my family. I have no hopes of starting from

scratch again since even views and likes don't fetch

donations now. I had a friend who i used to refer verified

Palestinian families to and she used to fundraise for

them which wasn't a substantial amount either because

pkr has a very low value she arranged like 21k and it was

a mere $70 or something. I knew another person from

the US and she took it upon herself to fundraise for 2

families but that's her limit as she's a student like the rest

of us. After the ban on my main account i am in touch

with a few families, and in daily touch with only one. I

wish i could fundraise for them, but i am 18 in college

with a non existent social circle and idk how to transfer

money through gfm or paypal. I have an international

rupay bank card and it still doesn't work. Not that i

could've sent a lot, maybe only 500 per month, but it's

better than getting nothing at all. the family I'm in touch

with they don't get proper food these days because it's

nearly impossible for food aid to get through since the

last few months. Please could anyone suggest any way

i could fundraise for them? They have a gofundme link.

Fundraising is so hard even when i had my account

working, texting 200 people would only yield 1 donor if

we got lucky. Could anyone please help us out here Sorry

for the terrible sentence framing I don't have time right

now but i wanted to leave it here thankyou

I hate it when Sanghis treat us worse than 3rd class citizens.. I invited my boss to my sisters wedding and even had a separate Veg section as he is not a meat eater, he did come to the wedding with his family but he disagreed to have food in the wedding even though my parents told them 100 times and my aunt heard them say in Tamil that they must have spit in the food and we will eat good food on the way... I am very hurt and I want to screw my boss over.. What should i do?
