Can bOys and girls be friends

Can boys and girls be "just friends?" Some people ask this question but i ask them "is it possible to be just friends?" "only if there is some problem with hormones they can remain just friends "i tell them because they cannot answer my question 

Husband and wife can be friends. Brothers and sisters can be friends BUT there is no concept of this inter-gender friendship that we see in society today. Allah is most knowing of what is best for us and He has forbidden this type of friendship so we must be careful of exposing ourselves to it.

No doubt it is from the footsteps of shaytaan due to what it leads to, Allah orders us "do not follow the footsteps of shaytaan" It breaks many marriages, destroys peace of homes, devastates the concept of marriage and makes zina free and easy remember zina is not only of the act of being with someone of opposite sex, but talking is zina of the ear and chatting is zina of the hands and heart and Prophet has been reported to have said the gust of which that close to the day of judgement zina will be rampant and when zina will be rampant it will be cheap and easy and marriages costly so people dont want to commit themselves to marriage but be free or search something extra with marriage and say we r just friends

may Allah guide us all and keep us on the road to siratul mustaqeem written by Umme muhammad.

10 days Of Zul Hijjah

What should those not going for hajj do ?
Is Zul Hijjah only for those Sacrificing Animals or going for hajj
Does come annually to relish in Kababs and Biryanis

Lets see what are the virtues of these 10 days and what can we do make our first 10 days of Zul Hijjah beneficial in this life and hereafter.

IMPORTANCE OF THESE 10 DAYS IN QURAN AND HADITH
1)It is these ten days that Allaah has taken an oath by in His Book, by His saying,
"By the Dawn and by the Ten Nights." [Sooratul-Fajr 89:1-2] 

2) Abdullah Ibne 'Abbãs radiyallahu anhu related that the Propht sallalahu alayhi wasallam said, "Good deeds performed on other days are not superior to those performed on these (first ten days of Zul Hijjah)." The Companions radiyallahu anhum inquired, "Not even Jihãd?" He replied, "Not even jihãd, except for that person who goes out putting himself and his wealth in danger and does not return with anything." (Bukhãri) (Aboo Dãwood, Tirmizi, Ibne 
Mãjah)

3) Aboo Hurayrah radiyallahu anhu related that Rasoolullah sallalahu alayhi wasallam said, "On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the (first) ten days of Zul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the worship of each of these nights is equal to the worship of Laylatul Qadr." (Tirmizi, Ibne Mãjah)

4) The mother of the believers, Hafsah radiyallahu anhaa reports that Rasoolullahsallalahu alayhi wasallam used to fast the (first) nine days of Zul Hijjah. (Nasã'ee, Ahmad, Aboo Dãwood) 

5) Abdullah Ibne 'Umar radiyallahu anhu related that Rasoolullah sallalahu alayhi wasallamsaid, "No days are as weighty with Allah and so liked by Him for good deeds than the first ten days of Zul Hijjah. So on these days increasingly read Subhãnallah, Lã ilãha illallãh, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar." (Musnad Ahmad)

As from the above verses and Hadith we can understand that these days need to be spent in absolute Ibadah and piety so InshaAllah try to 1) fast 2) pray Tahajjud 3)Repent a lot and make a lot of duas 4)remain awake at night in reading Quran ,making duas ,nafl salah ,zikr and ibadah 5 )Increase good deeds even during the day through charity etc

Virtues Of Day of Arafah and what should we do on that day will soon be posted inshaAllah

Based on a true life story

A man was crying, someone asked why, he said, "I had a son I thought i would make him read n write and would make him a great man, and gave him the best education and sent him overseas to study. 

Then suddenly he became ill and doctors gave up on him. He was counting his last breaths and he said to me "Daddy bring all my certificates" He said looking at me. Abbu These are all my degrees, but you did not teach me the Quran, How shall I face Allah? I stood in front of him and in a few moments he was dead.

So many of us who care about the world so much that we forget the Hereafter. Make a firm Determination that me and my children must obey Allah and follow His commandments so that tomorrow that is hereafter we would be happy and also our children.

Death is like the bridge!

Death is like the bridge!
-Umme Muhammed

The one who laughs and lives this life,
Will have to cry in the afterlife,

But the one who fears and cries to Allah,
Will be in the bliss of Jannah

This life is of a very short span
You have only one Creator Why not live for Him and plan

Death will meet you only once
So why not die for Him in this chance

For the soul which loves the Lord
Death is just a bridge to bond

So let the heart break in His cause
Let every breath fulfill His laws

The one who keeps dying every moment of this life
Gets the fulfillment of this life and the afterlife

But the one who seeks enjoyment and bliss in duniya
Does not obtain anything,neither contentment nor Jannah

TYPES OF HEART

TYPES OF HEART

Heart of a Believer

Reading many Ahadith about the heart i concluded that it is not only a vital organ of human body but also consists of life, a life within a person. Just as a fish remains alive when it is in fresh water, similarly the heart of a mo'min remains alive till the heart is regularly cleansed, watered, polished and shone. As the Hadith narrated by Noman Bin Bashir says narrated the Prophet salallahu Alahi wa sallam Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh, which, if it be whole, all the body is whole, and which, if it is diseased, all of [the body] is diseased. Truly, it is the heart.” Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And the Quran says  (Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona)[al-Mutaffifeen - 83:14 “Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.”

A DEAD HEART

As Allah has best described this heart in the Quran in Surah Baqarah with the words

Khatama Allahu ‘ala qulubihim wa’’ala sam’ihim (صلي ) wa-‘ala absarihimghishawatunh (صلي ) walahum ‘adhabun ‘azimun

 Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment. V7

They have erred so much that Allah has hardened their hearts from understanding. They could be intellectuals’ entrepreneurs or multimillionaires’ nothing can afford to remove this seal from the heart which are sealed by Allah swt. They could have all the understanding of the world but the concept of Allah, His Creations and His Glory that person will not be able to conceive

A SICK HEART

Described in the Quran in ch2 v10 In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie. These are mostly the hypocrites who understand yet deny. They are given a chance of repentance. They can change through true repentance and return to their Lord the Most High.

Heart Which Allah wants

 The day of Qiyaamah is described as:  “yauma La yanfa’u maalun wa Laa banuun, -The day when wealth and children will not benefit anyone Illaa man Ataa Allaahu bi Qalbin Saleem except he who will come to Allah with the Qalbin Saleem (A pure heart)”Ch 26 [Suratul Shu'ara 87-89] Allah wants a pure heart. A heart which does not have love of dunya, love of wealth, love of family, love of fame, love of fulfilling his desires and also a heart empty of hatred, clean from jealousy, pride, hypocrisy and disbelief. Pure means completely and solely for clean for Allah swt. A heart built with fear and love of Allah. A heart filled with taqwa. A heart which has sincerity, compassion, love and Mercy for all beings, a heart free from disobedience

 How to Develop Such A Heart

In A hadith the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has shown a way with which one can clean his/her heart. The Prophet (‘alaihi salato was-salam) said “These hearts become rusty just as iron does when water affects it.” On being asked what could clear them, he replied “A great amount of remembrance of death and recitation of the Qur’an.” [Tirmidhi]. Also in the Quran Allah says (Qad aflaha man tazakka

Wa-thakara isma rabbihi fasalla) [al-A'laa - 87:14-15] He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. 

“… the one who repents, becomes a true believer, and starts doing good deeds, for then Allah will change his evil deeds into good, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. He that repents and does good deeds, has truly turned to Allah with good turning.” [al-Furqaan - 25:70-71]

Which Category does Our Heart belong to so let us reflect and ask ourselves these Questions

Do we remember death

Do we repent sincerely and start doing good deeds

Do we fear so much that it stops us from disobeying Allah swr

Do we recite the Quran in abundance and reflect upon it.

Do we Do zikr (sunnah, duas, remembrance of Allah etc) 

I sum with the words of Rasulullah salallahu alaiha wa sallam as he Described as A good Pure Heart (Qalbin Saleem in a hAdith 

Rasool Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has said that the successful is the one whose heart has become pure. He described the features of a pure heart as:

“He has been successful! whose heart Allah has made sincere towards faith, whose heart He has made free from unbelief, his tongue truthful, his soul calm, his nature straight,

whose ear He has made attentive and his eye observant. The ear is a funnel and the eye is a repository for what the heart learns. He is successful whose heart is made retentive.” [ Tirmidhi]

O Allah bestow us sincere heart free from dis belief ,conscious of sins and abundant in good deeds Aameen Written By  Umme Muhammad  All rights reserved

The Obstacle race

The Obstacle race
-Umme Muhammad

Watching from the stands the proceedings of the sports day

The Obstacle race reminded me of our lives everyday

The kids ran under chairs

wore gunny sacks and hopped

Jumped over stones and rings

Wore caps and took balls under their arms

with one arm and one leg tied to the other

Skipping running hopping jumping

yet happy with just one goal

to cross the line and procure the gold

They dont look at those obstacles

they look not at their parents or the audience

Eyes focused and determined for the ultimate challenge

The one whose goal is to please Allah

The one whose goal is to meet Allah

The one who seeks Jannah

The one who fears the anger and wrath of Allah

Should they be doing something that would displease their Creator

they would persevere and toil day and night for His pleasure

And yet be humble and focused on the ultimate treasure

when Trials and Tribulations winds and storms come in their way

True momins feet never sway

Our eyes set far from our goals

Absorbed in the depth of duniya and its glamors

The race has begun between the seeker of duniya and the one who seek their Lord

They r no doubt two different tracks

but meeting our Lord is inevitable either with His pleasure or Wrath

O Allah Give us better understanding to prepare

so that in aakhirah we do not despair



The All-Mighty Allah `The Exalted,' says describing this world:
“...Truly, the life of this world is nothing but a [quick
passing] enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the
home that will remain forever.)” (Qur'an 40:39)

He has also warned mankind of the trial that children and
possessions represent, saying: (And know that your
possessions and your children are but a trial and that
surely with Allah is a mighty reward.) (Qur'an 8:28)

PIOUS PARENT EXPECTATIONS FROM THEIR TEENAGERS

When the seeds of Islamic Parenting are sown in a child

The child when turns into a teenager does not wild

He does not become aggressive

Of his Salah he is Possessive

Polite and humble with everyone

His parents he does not shun

Guards his prayers and reads Quran

The fertility helps to fight the evil of nafs and shaitan

Ready to face the world with daily sadqa

Guards his modesty and gaze with Taqwa

Branches out leaves of Deen Al Islam in his friends

Removes the weeds of music,games and other fitnas from his friends

Neither pride nor arrogance

Nor the venom of vengeance and extravagance

Wants to look good and obedient for his Lord he wants to please

No matter whether his friends tease

Raises his hands to pray to the Lord

To end oppression and tyranny in the world

So that Islam blooms the whole world far and wide

In every storm .sea ,Ocean and Tide

O Allah nurture Islamic Youth with your blessings world wide

SILENCE (A Message)

SILENCE (A Message) 

There was absolute Silence,
Not a space to move in stance 

Alone lying there in Darkness,
Eerie and spooky the Harshness.

Neither the arms could move nor feet,
Choking and gasping i couldnt breathe 

Deep down in a hole ,
Accompanying me no soul,

I t was in this moment i realized, it was the grave!!!
So eerie eeeks...........a scream i gave

Hands patting me and wiping my tears,
"U had a bad dream put away your fears"

But its the truth we all have to stay in that abode,
To prepare for that life we have been told.

Al Imran (3): 185: كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ ذَآٮِٕقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ. 

"KULLU NAFSIN ZAIQATUL MAUT"

Every SOUL SHALL TASTE DEATH

WHO IS YOUR LORD?

WHO IS YOUR LORD? 


In the greens of nature
beneath the ground and water
on and around and atop the trees
There are bounties of nature which no one sees

When the dew falls with soft breeze the worlds asleep
When the waves roar and creates havoc the world weeps

The under water under ground treasures are hard to find
And to explore the expanses of the ceiling isnt Mankind

Yet through the Quran Allah showed His Signs
Reading through them bought on discoveries and inventions

Yet we still see science and technology advanced in every feild
But only if the world pays heed,then surely every living being will succeed

The creator has the world in His hands 
Can bring destruction and ruin lands

So worship not the created and bow not in Prostration
See the ultimate creator and bow to Him in submission.

MUSLIM IS MY NAME

MUSLIM IS MY NAME

I hear the call to PRAYER yet keep myself busy and never take Allah's name,

I neither like the HIJAB ,nor the beard ,tights and minis suit my Frame.
... ... 
I spend my money in gambling,movies ,drinking never in charity,

I hoard wealth by haram and illegal means fearing ADVERSITY.

I love to GOSSIP,Backbite and call others names,

Imaan departed my HEART yet MUSLIM is my name

But being a MUSLIM just by name wont take me to jannah gate

Neither the fragrance nor the abodeof Jannah in my FATE

I got to amend my ways tonight 

By the Quran and Sunnah i got to Abide,

Those are DEARER to Allah who REPENT Sincerely,

O Allah make me of those who spent this life WISELY

ALLAH MADE ME.........

ALLAH MADE ME.........

From millions of tiny cells and water 

Allah created me so perfectly without any falter
Two little eyes open so wide and bright ,
... To see the wonderful world that Allah created to sight .

Two little ears to distinct and hear ,

Voices and sounds from far and near.

... One little nose to breathe and smell,

Each and every fragranrance from the other exel.

Two little hands each apart , yet side by side,

For doing work and binding each other without fight.

Two little legs to take me where I want to go.

O'Allah forgive me if I misuse anything from your will and I my ego.
