Bibi Aisha (daughter of Abu Bakar R.A. and wife of Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W.) once asked to Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W. ,'O Messenger of Allah, has anyone does as many good deeds as there are stars in the sky?' He(S.A.W.W) replied,'Yes, 'Umar (ibn al-Khattab) has.,She R.A. asked how Abu Bakar's good deeds compared with his and he replied, 'All 'Umar's good deeds are like one of Abu Bakar's good deeds.'

When Abu Bakar Siddique R.A. was mentioned in Hazrat Umar's(R.A.) presence,he wept and said,"I wish all my good deeds could compare with what he did on a certain day and certain night."

Good deeds of Calif Abu Bakar Siddique R.A.

This LOVE is the root of matter. This is what we desire. This is the purpose of Islam and we must look to Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique R.A. for this.
THIS LOVE IS DYNAMIC AND IS EXPRESSED IN THE ACTIONS OF THE SLAVE WHO POSSESS IT.

The Rightly Guided Caliph- I

Prophet S.A.W.W. said that,"Abu Bakar's superiority over other was not by reason of much praying and much fasting, but because Allah's special favour was with him,namely the love of Allah.On th day of judgement when men's prayers are brought, they will be put in the balance, and likewise their fasting and charity,but when love is brought, it will not be contained in the balance. So the root of matter is love."

Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.)

Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) was the first among men who believed in Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) He was the best companion of Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and the man whom Prophet S.A.W.W loved more than anyone.He was also the first CALIPH of Muslims.The incident on which he believed is about accepting Islam.Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) only the person who accepted that time. That is why Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) called as Al-Siddiq which means, the most truthful.

Men around the Messenger

Men Around The Messenger By Khalid Muhammad Khalid

While reading this book, we cannot help but be moved by the lives of the Companions herein depicted.

This book is about the lives of 60  Well Known Companions of the Prophet (SAW) after the four rightly guided Khalifs.

How we long to have their awe  for Allah! How we long to spend the same hours in worship as they! How we long to be as brave as they were in the face of danger! How we long to be as patient as they were under torture! 
This book fulfills the need for the Muslims to learn more about that first generation of Muslims. Indeed the Companions ,the men who were contemporaries with the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) -- inspire and encourage us.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

Food for the day

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply.

Quote of the day

"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way."

Wisdom and Islam

"But We had already given the family of Ibraham the Scripture and wisdom." Qur'an, 5:54.


“Hikmah(wisdom) is justice in judging, and it is knowledge of the reality of things according to how they really are, and it has also been described as the established strength of knowledge-based logic. It has also been defined as reaching the truth with knowledge and action…and when it is said ‘ahkamahu,’ this means that one has been prevented from committing evil.”


Some scholars like Imam Shafi' interpret the word 'al-Hikmah' in verse 2:129 above as the Tradition or Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W. Other scholars, such as the great Muslim scholar Ibn al-Qay'im al-Jawziyah in his book, Madarij al-Salikeen, defined 'al-Hikmah' scientifically and practically as follows:

Scientific Definition:
"Knowing and understanding the genuine nature of matters; the knowledge of relating results (effects) to causes as relevant to the physical composition and function of the matter, and with respect to Allah's natural law (qadarun) and revealed law."

Practical Definition:
"Doing what is required in the right manner, at the right time, and in the right place."

    "Great minds have purposes,          
           others have wishes."

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Stephen R.Covey 

Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better. 

Tazkiya (sanctification) means to clean to purify something, Quran used this word in the same meaning that is to clean the souls of humans and remove the dirt and stains and to polish.As it is in Surah Shams :

And by Nafs  and Him Who perfected him in proportion;then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; Indeed he succeeds who purifies his own self and indeed he fails who corrupts his own self .(7:10)

Holy Prophet S.A.W.W taught people to speak truth, and keep good relations with kith and kin.

Holy Quran praised Prophet S.A.W. on several occassions.
"(He) sanctify and instruct them in scripture and wisdom." [al-Jummah: 2]

'Sanctify' which means 'tazkiya' in arabic and 'wisdom' is 'hikmah' in Holy Quran.

Moral Conduct in Islam

The words of Prophet S.A.W.W. :
"I have been sent only for the purpose of good behaviour."

The teaching of all prophets and reformers are maintained and based on good moral conduct. For e.g.
Speaking the truth is good,whereas lying is bad. That justice is right and oppression is wrong, that charity is a virtue and theft is an evil. As with other aspects of Islam, the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.W  in this regard are comprehensive and complete.
 Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W said :

"I have been sent to perfect the virtues of courtesy and good behaviour."
(The The above is a narration recorded in the Muwatta of Imam Malik)

SEERAT UN NABI (S.A.W.W)

Today I have started to read the best one which is SEERAT UN NABI(S.A.W.W) by Shibli Nomani. It is comprising of seven volumes that are reliable and authentic.This book is a result of deep research. It represents Islamic phillosophy of life and proves from the life of the Messenger of Allah that no other religion is natural and practical as Islam.The work started through the munificence of late Nawab Sultana Jehan Begum of Bhopal and later through the aid of Nizam of Hyderabad.

Shibli Nomani had only managed to complete the first two volumes when he died in 1914. His loyal disciple Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, who was working with him as his literary assistant on the project, collected his research papers and manuscripts and had published them.

In 1953 Syed Sulaiman Nadvi also died before completing and publishing the 7^th volume of the book.

The series became very popular with the readers and admirers who were very eager for volume7 to be compiled and published. Syed Sabahuddin Abdul Rahman was approached to complete the work. Accordingly he collected the work of Syed Sulaiman and put together the work the material and compiled it in the form of the book published as volume 7.

Although the book was written about sixty years back, it would still be found useful for understanding the aims and objects benefits and advantages and nature and wisdom of devotion prescribed by Islam.

Great General

Besides being a great general, Muhammad bin Qasim was also an excellent administrator. He established peace and order as well as a good administrative structure in the areas he conquered. He was a kind hearted and religious person. He had great respect for other religions. Hindu and Buddhist spiritual leaders were given stipends during his rule. The poor people of the land were greatly impressed by his policies and a number of them embraced Islam. 

First Muslim attack

The very first Muslim attack on India in Sindh in the year 715 A.D was by Arabs led by Mohammad Bin Qasim. They displaced Raja Dahir who ruled Sindh from his capital Deval. Arabs even unsuccessfully tried to attack Malwa. After this invasion, which was limited to Sindh, for a period of 300 years.

Arab conqueror Muhammad bin Qasim.

Hajjaj arranged for special messengers between Basra and Sindh, and told the general never to take any step without his advice. When Muhammad bin Qasim invaded Sindh.

Debal was the first important town in Sindh captured by the Arabs under Muhammad bin Qasim. It is also said that just before the final attack, a Brahmin came out to inform the invaders that the flag on the temple is a talisman and if they strike it down the city will hold no longer.

Muhammad Bin Qasim

Muhammad Bin Qasim  had a close relative named as Hajjaj bin Yousuf. Much because of the influence of Hajjaj, Muhammad bin Qasim was appointed the Governor of Persia when he was in his teens, he did a good job at crushing the rebellion in that region.At that duration he got married to a girl named as Banu Tamim. She gave him two sons who later became famous for their own exploits.

Muhammad bin Qasim

Muhammad Bin Qasim was a finest settler/colonist in Arab history or we can say a member who settle down the region in a very gud way.He was born around 694 AD.He belonged to Saqafi tribe.He attacked on Sindh when he was just 17 years a old.

The first MAN on the land

There was a time when no one lived on the earth. Then Allah willed to in habit
it with human beings. The first human being, He created was Hazrat Adam (Alaihis
Salaam). He was made of clay. All of us are his offspring’s.

Allah  told  the angels  that He wanted  to send a man as His khaleefa on earth,
they said, “we are afraid that this man will do mischief  and bloodshed on earth,
while we are there to praise.


Allah says, “You do not know what I know. How do you know what qualities we have 
stored in man? When sent to earth, he will discover the hidden treasures there with 
the help of his wisdom which we have granted him avail himself of our creations. Now 
tell me if you know about those things. “Our Lord”, replied the angels, “We don’t 
know anything more than what you have told us. You are All-knower and All-wise.”  
Than Allah asked Hazrat Adam [A.S] if he knew about those things. Hazrath Adam 
(A.S) told every thing because he had know about everything on earth with the help of 
the wisdom which Allah had given  “Do you see,” Allah, then said to the angels, “we 
had told you that we have knowledge of everything in the heavens and earth, whether 
they are open or hidden.

There after Allah ordered the angels to bow down before Hazrat Adam (A.S) and
accept his superiority. All of them obeyed to Allah’s command, but Shaitan (Iblees),
who was also present there, did not do so. Instead, he proudly said, “I just can’t bow
down before this man who is made of clay while I am better than him because I am
made of fire.”


Allah did not like this proud attitude of Shaitan and expelled him. He was cursed till the day of doom when he and all his followers will be thrown to hell.


Allah also created Hazrat Adam's [A.S]  wife AMMA Hawwa, to live with. Hazrat
Hawwa (A.S) is the mother of all mankind. Then Allah sent both of them to Paradise.
There were very good fruits and other delicious eatables and comfort there. He asked
them to live there and eat  and drink whatever they wished. He, however, forbade
them to go near a certain tree as it was of no use to them. They lived on in Paradise
happily.But shaitan provoked them to go there.And then Allah sent them to the earth.Allah sent Hazrat Adam (A.S) to srilanka and AMMA Hawa to Jeddah. Hazrat Adam (A.S) left this world when he was 930 Years old.After 1026 years of his death Hazrat Nooh (A.S) was born.


Thus Hazrat Adam (A.S) was the first Messenger of Allah. Allah also told them
that whoever of them did good deeds and  lived in the world as His true khaleefa,
would be sent back to Paradise after death and whoever follow to shaitan, would
be thrown into Hell along with Shaitan.

Man has always been man, and the offspring of Hazrat Adam (A.S). Those who say that
men’s ancestors were monkeys or apes, are wrong. They are in darkness and deprived
of Allah’s teachings.

fake behaviour

I dont know why some people behave unusually and make this their habit.they think that they can hide themselves by covering their faces by showing positive behaviour but in actual this is not.they can make some people but not all.  

Positive attitude

Attitude is something which changes your life completely.It is like a mind's paint brush which can make everything colourful by using bright colours or make your life dark or dreary.A person's attitude is very important and has a significant bearing on the level of success.It make or break your personality & your character.It is a key to success, if you think positively.Attitude is a product of thinking and behaviour.Simply attitude is all about a person's likes or dislikes.You can move the world if you have a power of Positive Attitude but the change is in yourself.So,turn yourself around...!
