Polygamy In Islam By Liyakat Shah

                            Polygamy In Islam By Liyakat Shah

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Well Islam is very simple and we people made it complicated Our Emman is on Allah Rabbul Izzat and Prophet Mohammad Peace And Blessings upon Him so do try to find the process of polygamy with reference to Quran and Hadith and mere just by issuing any statements criticism would just keep suspicious questions floating in the minds of people If Quran says to have more than one wife that too on conditions than there is no reason to ask a question there as to why? Similarly a person who intends to have more than one wife ought to think a lot in all terms it's not just for fun and enjoyments. One has to be very much cautious before taking that step because he has to give equal distribution in all walks of life as long as he is alive. And if he denies any of rights form anyone than he is not fit for taking that step. Mere just by having two wives is not for fun but he should satisfy them with all amenities of food, shelter and clothing that too of same quality and standard to both of them and if he denies than no way to do that.

Here is a very good example of equal distribution of things among two wives. If the so called husband has two wives and brings two fresh apples from the market for both than he would give one each so that no problem would arise in case of look and so on as both have been purchased from same shop. But Islam says to cut both the apples and make four parts of it and share half from both the apples form each to give them, the reason for this is that if one apple is sweet and other is sour than one wife would feel happy and the other would feel sad which would be the cause of difference and give rise to envy, quarrels and conflicts. Hence forth if one intends to provide equal distribution to both the wives can go for it otherwise one is good for you.

The Quran in Sura 4:3Allah says:
And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession.
(Maududi, The Meaning of the Qur'an, vol. 1, p. 3

'Umar ibn al-Ahwas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Take good care of women, for they are your prisoners and you have no rights over them beyond that, except if they commit open illegal lewdness; if they do that, then you should shun them in their beds and strike them, but not in a way that causes pain. And if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you. Your rights over your women are that they should not allow anyone to sit on your beds whom you dislike, or allow anyone to enter your houses who you dislike, and their rights over you are that you should clothe and feed them properly.
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 1163; Ibn Maajah, 1851. Al-Tirmidhi said this is a hasan saheeh hadeeth).

May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy & Blessings upon Me & whole Ummah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

Rights of Non-Muslims in Islam By Liyakat Shah


Rights of Non-Muslims in Islam By Liyakat Shah
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Islam is such religion that tells to safe guard the rights of even Non- Muslims as well. Prophet Mohammad PEACE AND BLESSINGS UPON HIM AND HIS FAMILY has performed many rights with Non-Muslims. He was Prophet for not only Muslims but also for whole universe including Non-Muslims. Islam says to love and respect other religion as well as other community to leave in harmony and peace. 
Islam is a religion of peace and equality as it gives everyone the equal rights whether a Muslim or a non-Muslim. There is no discrimination for anyone in Islam. Islam is the messenger of kindness and The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was sent as a mercy to the mankind of whole universe. 

The Holy Quran says: 
"And We have not sent you but as a mercy to all the worlds" (Quran 21:107) 

The Holy Quran clearly uses the word "universe" which clarifies that The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is not only the mercy for the Muslims but for non-Muslims as well. So there should be no doubt in any person's mind that Islam does not believe in equality and Islamic teachings are biased. 
There are innumerable aspects of life where Islamic teachings stress the protection of rights of non-Muslims which are necessary to be learnt by every Muslim as he/she has to be answerable for his/her every deed before Allah on the Day of Judgment. 
Islam has strictly forbidden the Muslims to abuse or speak ill of the non-Muslim religious leaders or saintly persons. Similarly, a Muslim is not allowed to insult other religions. A Muslim must respect other religions and their believers. 

If Muslims conquer any territory of non-Muslims, they have no right to harm their places of worship in many means. Even, they are not allowed to cut their trees and attack women, children, old men and the men who are not fighting against them. 
Islam does not allow a Muslim to enter the house of his non-Muslim neighbor without his permission. 

Non-Muslims can move freely from one place to another in the Islamic state and carry out their businesses. In the lifetime of The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and the righteous Caliphs, non-Muslims used to visit Muslim countries with no restrictions (the only exception is Mecca and Medina). They carried out their businesses without any fear and even the Prophet (PBUH) himself used to buy from them. 
Non-Muslims can seek asylum in Muslim states and the Muslims are also allowed to get asylum in non-Muslim states as the Prophet (PBUH) ordered the earliest Muslims to go to Abyssinia and seek refuge in the Christian country of Negus. 

Islam has bound all Muslim jurists to be unbiased in their verdict as the Muslims as well as non-Muslims are to be treated equally. 
Muslim states are also ordered to look after the rights of non-Muslims even from the funds of Finance Department (Bait-ul-Maal). There are some examples where The Holy Prophet (PBUH) did the same thing. Once the Prophet (PBUH) gave charity to the families of Jews as it is permitted in Islam. 

(Abu ubaid, al-Qasim bin Salam, AlAmwal, Cairo,1969, P.804) 

Imam Muhammad, the pupil of Imam Abu Hanifa, has reported that the Prophet (PBUH) sent some property to the people of Mecca which was to be distributed among the poor during the days of famine. They were idolaters and were engaged in fighting against Muslims. 
(Al-Sharakhsi, sharh siyar Al-Kibar, vol. 1, P. 144) 
According to the teachings of Islam, a Muslim must treat even the dead body and bones of a non-Muslim with respect. It is a great sin to disrespect dead body of a non-Muslim. 
Islam gives equal rights to non-Muslims with the Muslims to exercise the right of freedom of speech. Non-Muslims can share their views and criticize any wrongdoing by the Muslims or Muslim state. 

A Haidth of The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) should be enough for a Muslim to take care of a non-Muslim's rights. 
"Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment." 
(Abu Dawood)

Repentance Towards Almighty Allah By Liyakat Shah


                                                                                

                          Repentance Towards Almighty Allah By Liyakat Shah
                            In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Repentance means an act to feel sorry and pity for our bad work which is being done in past or present by us. Allah Tabaraq Watala loves repentance done by human beings and repentance of human beings is accepted by Allah Rabbul Izzat probably that evil work is not repeated again and again. If the so called action is repeated again and again by person than it is not accepted it is like making fun of God. Hence forth repentance should be done from heart and the moment we think any work as bad than should have the same thinking and mentality all throughout our life. Remember repentance should not be for fun but should have whole heartedly repentance from all body parts and heart. Firm repentance should be such that the moment we think doing any bad work our heart should warn us that this act is bad and we have already repented from it and should not think of doing it again. Allah loves real repentance which is done from heart that too just for the cause of Almighty Allah to seek His blessings and mercy. By repentance we can come closer to Allah Rabbul Izzat. Repentance is an act that can forgive all our past and present sins. No matter how big the sins and crimes are, and if we seek forgiveness from heart towards Allah Rabbul Izzat than Allah loves it and forgives us but the condition is that it should not be repeated again and again. Repentance can be done at any time but one should not waste his or her precious time in doing so. We should repent as soon as possible and take no time to repent, and take in an opportunity that Allah has kept such nice things and rewards for repentance to seek His Mercy and Blessings. We humans are always associated with minor to major sins in our life. Rather our whole life is full of sins, cheat and fraud. We hurt people and insult so many of them. We destroy people by treachery. We kill living beings for no reasons. We are always surrounded by sins and crimes and doing any sin is very easy work as it is provoked by devil who indulge us to do all those things with fantasy which are not permitted by God. So we should be very much cautious of such devils and their work and try to do good deeds and repent to Allah and seek blessings of Allah

In Holy Quran Allah says that
Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
[Quran Surah An-Nisa 4:26]
Abee Hamza Anas ibn Maalik al-Ansaaree ( RadiAllaho TalaAnho)
said that the Messenger of Allah (SallalhoAylehe Wasallam) said: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you who falls off his camel and loses it in a barren desert land.
[Al-Bukhari vol8 #321]
The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment. Qur'an - An-Nisa 4:17-18
Hadith - Bukhari 8.800B, Narrated Ikrima from Ibn Abbas
Allah's Apostle said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder." 'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?" He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this," by clasping his hands again. 
May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy And Blessings upon whole Ummaah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

Bribery Has Become Part of Life Liyakat Shah



                                                                     
                                                  
                                  Bribery Has Become Part of Life By Liyakat Shah

Bribery has been so much rooted in the society that it cannot be removed. Every step taken against it felt short by its changing phases. It has also undergone many changes and now the condition is that people do not consider it as a shame of telling the word bribery but it's like incentives for doing their accurate work. Bribery has almost reached and penetrated in all walks of life and every department and learned people consider it has their pride of giving and taking of bribery. It's a shame that in spite of having handsome salary and perks from time to time people carve for more and more and the lust of hunger for bribery does not come to an end as long as the person is associated with his post or job. Bribery has closed all visions of thinking bright and good things. For them the day begins with it and ends with it, even at night they tend to plan the situation for next day by thinking about proposal and assignments. It's horrible that people also have the same attitude and they are also associated with it and has become a part of life for them happiness lies in appreciation and not in criticism. Bribe is such a procedure that can do any work of our choice and wants. Its value and cost is calculated depending upon the type of work and period. Bribery adds smooth wheels to every project and the whole procedure is governed by the person who undertakes it.

Such works are planned and procedure is implemented in silence it does not have any specific time like office hours. People can remain or can be called even at night or time suitable to their work. Party after the work is the symbol of success that a work has finally come to an end and person is free to work in it.

Just for the sake of few luxury person tends to spoil his character and name. People with such intentions and thinking never progress in life because for them life is just meant for earnings that too by false means. Such thinking has no future and destiny. Look at the poor people they enjoy their life with so much love, happiness and joy they eat simple food and get sound sleep at night but people who take bribe or unwanted money spent sleepless night and could not get the comfort on soft smooth mattress. They are always surrounded with big and small problems. For them problem has no solution and they even pay for getting happiness and joy in their life but it's only for time beings and situation becomes worse as it was.

Hence from now no wards say no to bribe and satisfy our needs within our reach and status. Go in for performing our duty whole heartedly with clean and honest nature to help the people and to guide them about the evil practice of malpractice and bribery and to repent if you had sail through the boat of bribery. Give all that things to poor which has been brought or purchased by bribery. Still time is their take it a pleasure to repent God loves repentance probably it is by heart and mind and should not do it again. Try to live a life within our expectations suited to our earnings if we really deserve to improve our economical condition than do improve it with fair and honest means by hard work and truth. 

May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy & Blessings upon Me & whole Ummah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

Homosexuality is not permitted in Islam By Liyakat Shah

   



     Homosexuality is not permitted in Islam By Liyakat Shah
                            In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Homosexuality and lesbianism has no place in Islam. Sexual relationship between two same sex of men or sexual relationship between two to or more women is not permitted in Islam and people who dare to do this heinous crimes during the time of Prophet Lut (AlayehisSalam) had to face the consequences. Sex a sort of procedure given by Allah Rabbul Izzat to satisfy our lust and happiness and pleasure and to keep on growing and expanding our generations. But this sex should be pure and done between male and female and sex among only males known as homosexuality has no place in Islam and it is also mentioned in Holy Quran and Hatith to beware with such acts homosexuality. Hence the teachings of Quran are for whole humanity and one should not favour homosexuality of any kind. Sex is to be performed with mates only that too between married couple having legal relationship and sex is not allowed between two sexes on grounds of having any illicit relations prior to marriage. We often find young generations involved with this crime and often undertake such steps to cross the limits. Islam says not to have any kind of illegal relationship before marriage and once the person is married is free to do sex of his choice. As you sow shall you reap? Homosexuality is a social crime and even media keeps on highlighting it on news channel to advertise and gain popularity for both. Things which are not permitted by God should not be provoked to do it again and again. Sex is nice gift from God and has to be done in opposite sex that is among male and female within the bond of recognized marriage. Having sex by illicit relations is a crime and should not be done. Look at another creation of God the animals who find their proper male and female mates for doing sex and some human beings on the other hand are so worse than animals that they do such acts in society.

According to Saudi Ministry of Education Textbooks for Islamic Studies: 2007-2008 Academic Year
Center for Religious Freedom of Hudson Institute

"Homosexuality is one of the most disgusting sins and greatest crimes. It is a vile perversion that goes against sound nature, and is one of the most corrupting and hideous sins. The punishment for homosexuality is death. Both the active and passive participants are to be killed whether or not they have previously had sexual intercourse in the context of a legal marriage. Some of the companions of the Prophet stated that [the perpetrator] is to be burned with fire. It has also been said that he should be stoned, or thrown from a high place."

Qur'an describes that everything has been created in pairs which complement one another. Pairing of male and female is thus part of human nature and the natural order. Marriage and family is the accepted way in Islam for a person's emotional, psychological, and physical needs to be met. The Qur'an describes the husband wife relations as one of love, tenderness, and support. Procreation is another way of fulfilling human needs, for those whom God blesses with children. The institution of marriage is considered the foundation of Islamic society, the natural state in which all people have been created to live.
Because the evil consequences of homosexuality are among the worst of evil consequences, so its punishment is one of the most severe of punishments in this world and in the Hereafter.

"And come not near to unlawful sex. Verily, it is a Faahishah (i.e. anything that transgresses its limits: a great sin), and an evil way (that leads one to hell unless Allaah Forgives him)"
[al-Isra' 17:32]
"And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: Do you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the 'Aalameen (mankind and jinn)?"
[al-A'raaf 7:80]
Qur'an (4:16) "If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone"
Abu Dawud (4462) - The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done."

Abu Dawud (4448) - "If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death." (Note the implicit approval of sodomizing one's wife).

al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152 - [Muhammad said] "Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver."

Billions of Thanks To Almighty Allah By Liyakat Shah



                 
Billions of Thanks To Almighty Allah By Liyakat Shah 

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

We are really thankful to Almighty Allah for giving us such a beautiful life and all the amenities for it. Actually we do not have any words to thanks Him. There are so many Blessings and Mercy being showered upon whole universe. He feeds and care all be it livings or non-livings. He is so much Merciful that He even cares and loves those people who have misconception about His existence and presence. Allah feeds so many humans, animals and plants and imagines so many species of living beings exist in this universe. Look at the new born baby whom Allah makes arrangement of nourishing milk for the new born baby, only Allah can do this and no other. Allah is most merciful towards all living beings He makes arrangement for foods by many ways. Allah's creation is immense and all things on the earth depend on Him. We are thankful to You Almighty Allah for giving us such a nice life and all the body parts they are so nicely placed and works so nicely by the will of God. Some organs are single and some are double and all these organs perform different functions to keep the body fit, fresh and fine. Similarly as time goes on these organs also grow according to age. God also feeds innumerable animals and plants look at the forests and jungles which has so many species of different kinds. God provides food, shelter and water to all these species. Allah also provides food to all sea animals beneath the oceans and all other species in the sea. Allah cares for all of us but very sad to say we do not care for Allah at difficult times we start to complain and feel sad for worse conditions or situations. But we should be thankful to our Lord at all times be it good or bad. Thank God for any conditions He keeps or would keep.
May we all humans develop an intelligence to thank Allah Rabbul Izzat for everything He has given, for everything He would be giving and for everything that He would give. We are very much thankful to You our dear Lord do shower Your Mercy and Blessings upon whole humanity. Forgive all our exposed and hidden sins and crimes. Keep us in Your loving care. Make us good humans to live a life for humanity. Make us true, honest and Faithful Muslim. We repent from all big and small sins. Please forgive us. Ameen

How Consumer Are Cheated? Liyakat Shah

                                               
                                                                     


                                     How Consumer Are Cheated? By Liyakat Shah

Consumer is an innocent person and very often cheated by the shopkeeper or any businessmen. Its human tendency that we are very much formally or informally associated with purchasing of any products. The main reason for our situation of getting cheated is our ignorance that we fail to understand the evil methods of fraud businessman. The main reason is that we do not time to find a reason for peeping into such circumstances. We are in a hurry and often just come to a specific shop to buy our goods in hurry and haste and this is the reason that the shopkeeper misuses us with his tricks. For example a fruit seller who owns a temporary stall on either a cart or a lorry displays his fruits in such a way to have an attraction from the passerby.

When he purchases from the whole sale market the products is weighted along with good and spoiled fruits, but as he has paid for whole bags and that too for that fruit bag in which fruits were not visible to him be it good or bad. So he does not throw away the spoiled or rotten fruits and if some parts are damaged than he cuts and remove the damage part and keeps nice part of the cut fruits for display to attract the people and it acts like a sample for the people as a result we people fail to understand that the sample kept for display is a spoiled fruit. Then the display of fruit on the front side of the consumer side is often filled with nice good qualitative fruits the intention is to attract the audience. The middle portion has both types of fruits and the part nearer to the fruit seller is often hidden and filled with spoiled and rotten fruits and they have a nice trick to at least put one such fruit per consumer. Than one thing to be noted if the fruits are not tasty if they lack in sweetness than few fruits from other shop is brought and mixed in it and when the costumer comes he is given the taste of same sweet fruits and a sentence is spoken that all fruits are of same taste and poor consumer have to take all sour fruits in the name of sweet fruits. Similarly if fruits lacks colour than an artificial colour is injected with the help of syringe or injection to give colour to the fruits which is harmful for health and give artificial look of freshness and attraction to the fruit. The chemical used to ripe the fruits are also very harmful and often cause stomach disease. Assent and flavor is added to add more flavor to the fruits which is not a natural phenomena and harmful to health.

Sometimes the weights used by the merchants are also not authentic and prove good on faulty grounds. lastly the plastic bags in which the fruits are packed are knotted so tight that if the consumer tend to open the bag to see the fruits is not possible and feels shy to tear the plastic bag in front of the shopkeeper, so naturally he has to keep his bag and go away from there than the secrets is exposed at home when the bag is opened. This is how the consumer is cheated so be cautious when next time you purchase fruits.

Van Mahotsav The Festival Of Trees By Liyakat Shah

                                                       
                                                                   
                                              
                                                  Van Mahotsav The Festival Of Trees By Liyakat Shah

Plants a beautiful creation of Allah Tabaraq Watala which is very useful to all human and animals. They give us innumerable things to us. They keep the percentage of oxygen balance in atmosphere. It is for such reason that today we find frequent visits to hill stations by the people. The reason for that is hill stations are green lush with greenery all around and have plenty of vegetation there. They purifier air and makes the atmosphere oxygenated which is need of present situation. But people on the other hand go against this ecological balance and they are found of cutting green lush trees and plants for settlements and civilizations. It takes many years to grow a small saplings into a full fledge tree and takes mere only few minutes to cut it. Hence we humans should not cut green trees and it is also not permitted in Islam. If all the trees are cut down in same manner than we would have to leave without trees and no trees means no oxygen and no oxygen means no living beings would survive. Hence forth we should not go against the laws of nature and try to plant more and more trees and saplings. Indian Government also starts many schemes and policies for preservation of natural vegetation and trees but all these policies fell short and lacks on grounds of implementation due to many potholes in it.

Panting of more and more trees is the requirement of the day. This is one of the most important towards curbing environmental pollution. Only a person who walks in the sun can appreciate the importance of the shade a tree provides. Trees grow from saplings. So we should make it a routine to plant as many saplings as possible. First we should select a healthy sapling and then plant it in the fertile soil. We should nurture it with proper care by watering daily. A sapling requires more care and attention than a tree. All saplings do not grow up into trees. Most of them do not survive due to adverse climatic conditions and lack of proper care. As the survival rate of the saplings is low, we should plant many saplings at a time. In India there are various festivals which are dedicated to planting saplings. Van Mahotsav is one such festival. So let's join hand to make the Earth a greener plant.

Hence take a pledge from today onwards that every human beings would plant or make arrangement of planting one sapling and to look after it till it grows into full fledge tree. Remember a tree would provide many types of facilities to humans. Hence it's not a question of just providing shade but also a lot to all.

National Commission For Women By Liyakat Shah

        National Commission For Women By Liyakat Shah

Women play a very vital role in our society. But sadly to say that women's are always being denied by their rights and very often fall prey to nuisance in the society. In spite of human being she has face differences in the society in different sectors. The main reason for their condition is there ignorance. Daily we come to know about torture and abuse which has become a common topic to hear.
In order to tackle with such treatment against them The Government of India has set up a Commission to deal with such situations.

The National Commission for Women was set up as a statutory body in January 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 (Act No 20 of 1990 of Government of India to

• To review the Constitutional and Legal safeguards for women
• To recommend remedial legislative measures
• To facilitate redressal of grievances and
• To advertise the Government on all policy matters affecting women.

In keeping with its mandate, the Commission initiated various steps to improve the status of women and worked for their economic empowerment during the year under report. The Commission completed its visits to all the states and Union Territories except Lakshadweep and prepared Gender Profiles to assess the status of women and their empowerment.

It received a large number of complaints and acted sou-moto in several cases to provide speedy justice. Yet, the power of this commission appear to be pseudo as whenever real action is needed, the commission is hardly able to give justice to the suffering women.

It took up the issue of child marriage, sponsored legal awareness programmes, Parivarik Mahila Lok Adalats and reviewed laws such as Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, PNDT Act 1994, Indian Penal Code 1860 and the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 to make them more stringent and effective. It organized workshops, consultations, constituted expert committees on economic empowerment of women, conducted workshops, seminars for genders awareness and took up publicity campaign against female foeticide, violence against women, etc. in order to generate awareness in the society against these social evils.

The National Commission for Women was set up as a statutory body in January in 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 to review the Constitutional and legal safeguards for women, and also recommended remedial legislative measures, facilitate redressal of grievances and advise the Government on all policy matters affecting women.

Developing Good Habits By Liyakat Shah

                                                          

                                    
                                     Developing Good Habits By Liyakat Shah

As we have seen, habit is something that binds us and channels our behavior. This means, as we go on doing that thing regularly, we get used to it and then we need not be always conscious about it. Our system can help us do this thing automatically.

Good habits are good patterns of behavior that helps us grow in life and give happiness to both ourselves and others. Punctuality, time management, discipline, modesty, neatness, honesty, politeness, respectful attitude as well as assertiveness are good habits.

These habits help as grow into lovable, pleasant and powerful individuals. So, we must be conscious in selecting, following and developing such good habits. When we consciously learn to keep time frames, our ability to study and work can not only increase, but it can also multiply.

Balancing study, hobbies and leisure while care of time frames, we must keep in mind that just as study is not only thing that we should do in life, hobbies or leisure too is not the only things too.

The children who do not learn leisure well get bored in the vacation. Such children do not have any hobbies. This is due to the reasons that their parents make them feel that hobby is waste of time.
In fact hobby is doing something that gives you an inner pleasure and satisfaction on doing it. One can get totally engrossed in doing something when it is one's hobby. Then one never feels the stress of work because that is the work of one's interest.

On the other hand, when study does not interest, it causes inner resistance and tiredness after sometime. You must have noticed that you get tired while studying some subjects but simply enjoy while studying some others. This is because the subjects you like will have the potential of becoming your hobby while the subjects you do not generate inner resistance that make you tired or stressed if you struggle to pursue it beyond limit.

So it is a good idea to combine study with hobby in case of subjects we like and take intervals of our time of study and we can study a lot in a lesser time. Learning to use leisure and rest constructively them with hobbies cannot only help us stay more relaxed, but also can increase our productive ability and grasping. On knowing how to use our leisure well in combination with study, we cannot get based.

                    Muslim Character And Behaviour By Liyakat Sha
h

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


A Muslim should be humble, polite, kind and truthful by his nature and character. His words would be such that should be imbibed with love, respect and oneness. Conflicts, quarrels and envy are the steps provoked by devil that is shaytan which is the open and hidden enemy of Muslim. shaytan makes the evil acts simpler and try to lose the temper of we people and have quarrel and more heating arguments to add hate and differences among two or more people. A Muslim should have a sober nature to be praised and liked by all people in the society and should be such that his hands should be safe from all acts of doing bad and should not harm the people. His tongue should always speak the truth and good words of uniting the people. His heart should be such that should feel pity And sad for the poor and humble people. His status should benefit the people by all means.

The better way to lead a happy and prosperous life would be to follow the Sunnat of Prophet Mohammad Peace and Blessings upon Him and His Family. He has almost touched all the aspects of human life. Every Sunnat has betterments hidden in it. So inculcate the values of Sunnat and become a good character person.

May Allah Rabbul Izzat give us Hidayat to follow the Sunnat of Prophet Mohammad Peace and Blessings upon Him Ameen.

Hadrat Abu Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "Nothing is heavier in the scales of a believer on the Day of Judgement than his good behaviour. Allah detests a person who is obscene and shameless". (Tirmidhi)

Hadrat Jarir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, "Any one who has no mercy for others will receive no mercy from Allah". (Bukhari and Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Charity does not decrease wealth, Allah enhances the honour of one who forgives, and one who humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah exalts him in rank". (Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, May Allah be pleased with him, relates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, "When one of you yawns, he should cover his mouth with his hand, otherwise Satan would enter". (Muslim)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, relates that when the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, sneezed, he covered his mouth with his hand or a piece of cloth to reduce the sound. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)

Whatever God does He Does Good for The People By Liyakat Shah

      

        Whatever God does He Does Good for The People By Liyakat Shah
                                In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Once upon a time there lived a King and he had ministers along with a Wazir who was very religious minded person and very often remembers and chants about sentences related with greatness of Almighty God Allah Rabbul Izzat the sentence was Allah Jo Karta Hai Accha Karta Hai. Whenever the King or any courtyards ask him about the matters related with kingdom he used to give updated knowledge along with the same sentence that Whatever God does He does Good for people. The King was a very clever person he realized that this Wazir is not an ordinary person and has strong faith towards God that is Allah. The king used to always accompany the Wazir along with him wherever he went either to other place, hunting or for any other work. It happened so that one day the King and Wazir were sitting in a garden and King was eating an apple as he began to cut the apple with a sharp knife he cut his figure and was crying in pain with the broken finger and said to the Wazir to go and bring some medical help. The Wazir followed the instructions and repeated the same sentence as to "Whatever God does He does good for the people" means Allah Jo Karta Hai Accha Karta Hai. Hearing this King was annoyed and shouted at Wazir that in spite of helping me in such circumstances he is feeling happy. So he ordered his men to put the Wazir in the prison. Hearing this he again repeated the same sentence that "Whatever God does He does Good for the people".

One day it happens to be so that the King decided to go for a hunting but unfortunately they could not take the Wazir along with them as he was in the prison. Soon they started their journey and the King lost his way in the thick forest and was caught by the jungle tribes and they made him captive He tried to convenience them saying that he was the King of native place but they fail to understand his language. Days passed than they tried to offer the King as a sacrifice to their Goddess. All preparations were made and as they took him for sacrifice one of the person noticed that his hand had a broken finger, and could not be offered as a sacrifice to their deity so he reported the matter to the leader of the tribe than the leader said we could not offer a sacrifice of human who has any defect in his body so they let him go alone and they freed him, than the King came back home happily thanking God and remembered Wazir that his statement was right and he was wrong. Then he ordered to free the Wazir and narrated the whole story about himself than Wazir said your majesty You had a habit of accompanying me along with you wherever you go, had they left you for your defectiveness they would have not spare me as my body had no defect at all and unfortunately I would have become the victim and scarified instead of you. Hence forth it is right to say that "Whatever God does He does Good for the people" Allah Jo Karta Hai Accha Karta Hai and thanks a lot for putting me in prison had you not put me behind bars I would have accompanied you along with hunting grounds so "Whatever God does He does Good for the people".

Hence forth believe in God Allah Rabbul Izzat for whatever He is doing for you is the right for us.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy And Blessings upon whole Ummaah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

Types Of Stress By Liyakat Shah


    
               

                            Types Of Stress By Liyakat Shah

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

We can see that there are many types of stress that one experiences. The mental stress is any time much more severe than physical stress. If the mind of any person is going in right positive direction, than he can take much more physical work stress than any other person. The mental stress is cause due to frustration or conflicts or other pressures of various kinds as well as one's own resistance to change.

Frustrations are a result of inability to have one's way or to fulfill one's desires. When we want to do something but cannot do so due to any reason, we feel as if our goal directed activity is blocked. This blocking is certainly not liked by anyone. Then there is a resistance to this blocking. Even with resistance and increased efforts to reach the goal, the block still remains and one cannot reach the goal. Then one gets frustrated. With frustration, the struggle to reach the goal may apparently be over, but the inner struggle to accept the fact that the desired goal cannot be reached and it still continues. One does not like to accept that he is not able to get what he wants. This causes stress.

Conflicts are caused when two contradictory things are approached at the same time. Conflicts causes stress and one's mind is not stable and his mind always argues with himself on minor issues which can be resolved by no means. But being such nature of conflict he always tends to think any issues with logic and if he does not get the desired answer than his mind starts to create a procedure of conflicts. We can say it simpler that when things go against a person's will than it give rise to conflicts.

Pressure are there in every day work. These pressures are of various kinds like work, study, thoughts, money, future planning, relationships etc. when one has to work beyond one's capacity, one experience pressures. Then a person feels over worked. Similarly, when a child has to study for all the time and does not find any time for relaxation or recreation, he gets stressed due to two things one is study pressure and second is monotony. The pressure of thoughts is due to having many negative thoughts. If one does not have money or if one has his future but cannot see anything like secure future, one gets stressed. Same thing happens when, keeping any relationship, one has to keep sacrificing and adjusting all the time as well as suffering humiliations just because one wants to maintain relationship. All this causes a lot of pressure and stress in turn.

Change is a part of life and life is full of change. But most of the people fear change. This is because change takes us to unknown situation. We do not know how to handle unknown situation, problem, or person. May be this is why there is a common saying "A known devil is better than unknown" every change brings an uncertainty with it. Uncertainty has a potential to make us insecure. This is the reason why one does not like the change. This can explain why the older generations cannot accept the changing thoughts and behavior of the younger generations. When anything changes, we have to adjust ourselves to fit into the changed situation. But to adjust, we need to give up our existing practices and adapt new ones. We may not like to do this and we also are not what will be effect of all this. So we are stressed time to any change.
