Dua

O Allah My eyes shed tears the moment I imagine the Kaaba in front of my eyes
My heart so attached to it
I long to visit you whenever its name is mentioned
When will I see it again, touch the walls and circumambulate around it
Ya Allah grant us the opportunity to visit your House

Aameen
---------------------------------

O Allah how we wish………..
we could be the chosen ones one to wear the ihram and walk to Mina
we could hear the echo of Labbaik with the melodious crowd
we could take our pebbles and pelt the hated one
we could lay our head on the blessed ground of Muzdalifah
we could let our tears fall in dua on the plains of Arafat
we could see the Ka'abah and perform Tawaf
we could visit the Prophets Masjid

O Allah with this ache in my heart to be among those you have called this year

Let our names be among those whom you will call next year

Aameen

10 ways For a Productive Zul HIjjah

A women has to sacrifice many times in her life

First she becomes a daughter and sacrifices for her parents and siblings

Then as a wife and daughter in law she crushes her desires

Last but not the least she sacrifices as a mother all her health, wealth and sleep and passion to her kids happiness

But the only place she forgets to sacrifice is for her Lord her Creator who bestowed her life in the best form and then made her a Blessing for her parents and then placed paradise beneath her feet and made her a Queen of her home.

This Zul hijjah lets decide to live on the way of the family of Prophet Ibrahim

قُلۡ إِنَّ صَلَاتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحۡيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ

"Say:

My prayers, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

 (Qur'an 6:162)

Don’t we say I am living just for my kids so that they grow up Or I am living just because Allah has kept my breaths moving yet Lets change our thinking

Here are 10 ways in which we can make this Zul HIjjah Productive

1) Let each day and each sacrifice we do be for the sake of the Lord of the Worlds

2) Lets us sacrifice our gossip, pleasures of geebah, wasting time and instead utilize the time in worship of Allah.

3) Let us sacrifice our sleep and invest it in tahajjud salah

4) Let us sacrifice our modern clothes For clothes which our loved by  Allah (long, loose, non transparent, not of opposite sex, not resembling any non-muslim)

5) The way we are punctual about our kids school timing water bottle n snacks and as they grow older their studied be particular that they too follow the sunnah in all aspects of their life whether it be clothes, walking, getting up in the morning or sleeping.

6)Let us sacrifice our lives ONLY for the sake of ALLAH alone to make our lives worthy and remember the words of Prophet Ibrahim each time  My prayers, my sacrifice, my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

7) For each day of Zul hijjah decide to bring in 10 good deeds and decide to leave 10 bad deeds just as we make a list of whom we will share our meat with make this list and be firm with it.

8) Decide that my salah should increase in Khushu and rate it out of 10 each day. Learn the important parts of salah well. Sacrifice the precious time at least 10 minutes each day to improve the Quran read in the salah.

9) Concentrate on practicing various verses of the Quran. Make targets and try to achieve them.

10) Invite others too to live and die for Allah alone enjoin good and forbid wrong. Sacrifice your favourite chats to imbibe these qualities in the ummah and pray for them

So this Zul hajjah practice this and make it the mission of your life to live n die only for the sake of Allah alone

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

Words

WORDS

Sometimes I feel lost in the sea of words

Sometimes I feel drowned in the foam of words

Sometimes i need a synonym

To get something thats rhyming

At times its lost of words

In spite of the ocean of words

It seems as if the words are locked

And all the roads to words are blocked

Waiting for a day to see words in action

All penned down with good intention

Every word is being recorded

Let each word be for the one who taught us words...
