A’maal baraye Farakhi-e-Rizq

In the Arabic language, where the word Rizq conveys the meaning of daily bread and sustenance, it is also used to denote all forms of divine bounties. Accordingly, within the Holy Quran, it has been utilized for wealth and assets, for the provisions of life, and has also been used for guidance and spiritual gnosis (Hidayat-o-Ma'rifat). Briefly, we can state that the word Rizq is used for every single bounty bestowed upon the servants by Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty has commanded mankind in general, and Muslims in particular, to distinguish between Rizq-e-Halal (lawful sustenance) and Rizq-e-Haram (unlawful sustenance); earning a Halal livelihood and abstaining from Haram is just as essential as practicing Namaz, Roza (fasting), and other foundational obligations (Faraiz)... Yet, it is astonishing that even within Muslim societies, few people distinguish between Halal and Haram. Indeed, Read more [...]

Fazilat-e-Surah Fatiha ma’a Zakat

The companion of the Prophet (Sahabi-e-Rasool), Hazrat Abu Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ narrates: "Once it was night time, and I was walking with the Beloved Master, the Makki Madani Mustafa صلى اللہ علیہ و آلہ و سلم through a street of Madinah Munawwarah. Suddenly, a voice came from a house; a Sahabi رضی اللہ عنہ was reciting Surah Fatiha in the Tahajjud prayer. Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah, the embodiment of light (Noor-e-Mujassam) صلى اللہ علیہ و آلہ و سلم stopped and began listening to the recitation of Surah Fatiha. When the Sahabi رضی اللہ عنہ completed the recitation of Surah Fatiha, the Last Prophet of Allah, the Hashimi Messenger صلى اللہ علیہ و آلہ و سلم remarked: 'مَا فِی الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلُہَا' — meaning, there is no Surah like it in the Holy Quran." Numerous virtues (Fazail) Read more [...]

The Reality of Magic

The existence of Jadu (magic) in the region of the Subcontinent has always been a focal point of public attention; this is the very reason why, in ancient eras, most outsiders considered India to be a realm of magic (Jadu Nagri). The Kala Jadu (black magic) of Bengal holds its own distinct and prominent status across the entire world even today. Initially, this magic was largely restricted to non-Muslim circles, but if one contemplates the generalized conditions and states of contemporary Muslims in the Subcontinent today, it becomes evident that the epidemic of Jadu has spread within the Muslim demographic of this land with such staggering rapidity over the last few decades that it evokes profound astonishment. Every single day, some new incident transpires and comes to light within Muslim households. Mutual family relationships, instead of being defined by reciprocal sincerity, goodwill, Read more [...]

Superstition

The practice of taking bad omens (Bad-shuguni) is inherently linked to the illusions of the heart (Tawahhum-e-Qalbi) and signs of spiritual darkness. In reality (Nafs-ul-Amr), it possesses absolutely no truth or validity. In our country, some people are so deeply mired in superstition that if they happen to sneeze while leaving for some work, they sit down, firmly believing that success will no longer be achieved in that task. If a dog shakes its ears along the way, or if someone inquires, "Where are you going?", they instantly construe it as a proof of failure and turn back immediately. Thousands of such superstitious notions are prevalent, which, after the Hindus, are mostly adhered to by Muslim women. In doing so, apart from displaying a conduct entirely Khilaf-e-Islam (contrary to Islam), they willingly bear the loss of their time and the disruption of their work—alas, a hundred times Read more [...]
