On the other hand, the person who would make the afterlife deary and the objective, would surely harm his dunya (the worldly life). Therefore, instead
Whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he has really succeeded. And the worldly life is nothing but an asset, full of illusion.

Extracted from a Bayan of Hazrat Mawlana Manzur Numani (R): (delivered in 1374 Hijri, at Ahmadabad) I would like to tell you a word in short, that is: make two decisions regarding your life.

It is nothing, but the deception of shaytan and nafs that we want to become a perfect Muslim overnight. After a few steps on the path of Deen (Islam) we search for divine miracles for us. If no miraculous support achieved, or if our wishes and desires remain unfulfilled, we deflect ourselves from the obedience of Allah Taala! Indeed, very unfortunately,

Exerting our efforts to forward ourselves in Deeni matters, we lag behind because of intending comprehensive arrangements and pursuing exquisite accomplishments. As we have never even started to the minimal degree, the day of perfection of “comprehensive arrangements and exquisite accomplishments” never ever materializes; consequently, we fall further behind! Even many people never realize this throughout the

It is indeed pertinent for every of us to preserve energy for the right cause. Today our energy is exhausted in futile activities. We may place excuses and logic as to “why we do this and why we do that”; however, our consciences never lie! The most palpable truth is that we have already drained

Rasulullah ﷺ was asked by his blessed companions, (Meaning) What is the criteria of selecting friend? Who should we select as close friends?

In every age there were people turning down the truth and turning down the callers of truth (the Messengers and their righteous followers).

Duas (supplications) in the Qur’an and AHadith are unparalleled. We should recite and memorize them regularly and ponder on those deeply. Besides all other benefits, the Barakah (Additional Blessing) of these Duas would InshaAllah be felt when we sincerely adopt the good habit of reciting these supplications. One major reason for our efforts going in vein is, we neglect the

Complete adherence to the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah is the objective and aim of a Muslim. It is essential for a Muslim to look around his life and check out what his beliefs, values and actions encompass. The heart and mind of a believer should be resistant to adopting the traditions and culture of kuffar (disbelievers); there is no provision,

Every good deed, be it how small and petty in our sight, should be cared. We often overlook many actions, however, in the court of Allah Taala, they have great returns. It is stated in the Hadith that approaching with a smiling face toward fellow brothers is Sadaqa (voluntary charity). It is also stated that every good deed is Sadaqa; any good

Our pious scholars urge us to exert slow but steady efforts on the Path of Allah Taala. May we never lose hope and may we never stop our efforts on Allah’s Path; there is no other way. If we keep on moving forward, the benefit is ours. If we stop, the loss would be ours.
