LETTER TO MY SON

Dear Son,

My son you are growing up and as I see you emerging into a handsome, smart and loving boy. I see beauty that in itself how it is reflecting with such affection of your parents. Me and your Mamma love you always and always will. Keep bringing good change to yourself and to the people around you that one day the world would change for the better as What Allah May Will! I love you son and I'm feeling this heart beating in your chest as if it is mine! May Allah give you all the happiness of the world! All the goodness within you and around you! All the health that you deserve and be healthy with affection! And all the serenity of life and the hereafter Insha'Allah! 

Umar, you have been the reason I can say I have lived with pride! Keep your parents in your prayers always and pray 5 times a day without thinking twice! Recite the Qur'an daily if not after every prayer! Read books and gain knowledge as the people around you would want to debate you with ignorance, and might even win. You should lose with facts instead and your parents will be the proudest from the millions cheering the ignorant!

Teach people around you if they are asking you to. Do not keep the knowledge within you since this knowledge is not ours to keep. It is to spread to people of all religion, color, race, sex. To even aliens who think different of you and how would they know any better if you don't show them What Allah has willed and what is the main purpose of it all, the reality, the facts and the most important of all the reason of living! I love you Son! You will always be watched and loved! 

May Allah always guide you to the best paths! Aameen!

By the way! When you fall in love with a good girl! Fall in love for her religion and she will give you everything Insha'Allah. Maybe along the way you will find hurdles to go through and tough times but do not worry, Allah test the ones He Loves! Life is nothing but a test and we all have to pass it smartly. Qur'an is the prescribed book that has all the solutions to your problems. Be wise when deciding, if you are unable to decide, discuss with elders, friends, family and do not decide with emotions! Your decision should be firm!

Live well my Son!

Live with dignity and live with happiness!

Dream for the beyond and pray to Allah! Beyond will fall to your feet!

Remember my Son! I Will Love Always Love You!

Your Heart,

Baba...

PURPOSE OF LIFE!

PURPOSE OF LIFE

BY: FALAH ALAWI

To find a purpose of life and do things accordingly to that what you have found, should give you benefit in every aspect, be it moral, ethical, liable, practical, and even understandable that your actions will have positive and collective reactions on this earth after you’re gone. In this life finding a purpose is not hard and neither easy and if you ask how is that possible since many people end up dying during finding this purpose. The only way this can be answered is by knowing there is no escape from death and when death will come, it will come unannounced. So, anything that you’re trying to find or getting towards at you’re also limiting your life span. Human life being limited in this world will always have limited desires and nothing that he thinks will exceed the point towards knowing that, this is first thing humans should know. Secondly, life of any human coming in this world was not an accident. If you don’t even think from a religious point of view, you will know that the person you’ve been hanging out with or your brother, sister, your parents, they all are connected and brings out your personality, either in a positive way or negative, but know that every human has a brain to decide which path to follow and this fork in the road in not worst of a calamity than that of death.

            I have lived long enough to come to this maturity that life without religion or without believing in GOD/ALLAH/LORD in any way will leave a human living a life without purpose, or his purpose will always be limited within the boundaries of this life.

Muslims believing in the hereafter, believing in a purpose that if they do good, will have good and who do bad will get bad that today scientifically proven by Newton’s third law of motion. But as the life span of humans is limited so is the life of this world and it will one day perish and all that left will be our actions that will be given to us on the Day Of Judgment.

            We have given a picture of life how to live it and make it towards the end of it and the picture is as clear as day, that if we believe in ourselves and we trace it well and live it as exactly as the last Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) did, we will surely reach to the point where there is no doubt. And if even after looking at the picture instead make it our own, that will make us our own god that will make us fall in the pit that we were not suppose to be from. But we willed and so the reaction will.

            Surah Asr, is such a beautiful Surah that if we concentrate our lives on just this surah and put our actions in it, we will make our life worth living and happily dying to meet our Creator (ALLAH).

             This is what purpose of life is all about since man is in loss of time and death is inevitable. Death will come like it came to the people before us and to before them.

In the Holy Quran (Surah Baqarah Verse 28):

  In the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Imran Verse 185):

In the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Anbiya Verse 35):

And death is like sleeping, where the conscious is alive and awake but the soul is out. We will know when we will be getting buried and could not scream out. When the slap is closed, that is the end and people will walk away but what will happen to us in the grave, the questions will start. While the people who we left behind; after a period of time, when the grieving has ended. They will start their normal routine till the day comes and they will die.

             Our lives are based on deeds, and we will be judged accordingly on the Day of Judgment and we will be distributed either among the people of paradise or the hell fire. May Allah have mercy on us and guide us to the right path which Allah loves and give us courage to follow the Last Prophet Muhammad on whom this beautiful book “Al-Qur’an” was revealed and is still intact as it was before till the Day of Judgment.

I'll Get Through!

Tossed across limits, shattered with anger and sound of feelings scattered on the floor. Last emotion left to keep but freed so many more. I’m running, running empty on the broken glasses, happiness, sorrow; moments that were forgotten revive senses of my heart. “Run, run, just run in the darkest place my love”, says the heart. With terror I start to shake, every emotion stares at me just to find a way to devour. Walked and ran, walked and ran, there was no way out and I had no strength. Voices kept telling me, “take it; do it”, yet I knew nothing. Tremble with fear as I was bitten by it. “LET THEM ENGULF ME!” I screamed with madness. Scattered feelings, senses of healing, they all said to be one with me. I knew then what I had given up, the forgotten moments, the time I could never turn back. Every tear for a memory, every smile for a memory, every hate for a memory, even a lie for a memory… and all the moments I lived. Emotions beat my senses to a pulp, I had felt enough and wanted no more. A voice says, “take it”, I took a shard of shattered glass, “do it”, and I did from which I had been painted red but that color did not make the end of my memories yet I left myself bleeding instead.
