There is a cobbler who sits on the ground near the masjid I go to, but is ignored just like other things placed on the ground. Usually he *smilingly* initiates so quickly in saying salam that I am the one who has to reply, my expressions depending upon my mood. But he immediately moves back his hand (that was unintentionally raised due to excitement) after realizing that some people might not like to shake hands with his that were holding shoes few moments ago.

Today was a different sight. As I said salam to him, he didn't even hear me because he was too busy eating with a bowed head and reciting something as he ate. When I moved ahead, I felt that may be he has called me back. But when I turned back I realized that he didn't call me but nature is using him to stop me and teach how I should 'thank' before I enter the house of the ONE I came to meet.

He was holding a bunch of grapes that was almost rotten like the skin of his hand. Such rotten grapes I usually throw in the garbage just like I disregard people like him. But unlike me, he was eating it very slowly with interest and while humbly eating he repeatedly raised his hand and looked to the sky with thankfulness dripping from his eyes. For a moment I felt that Allah (swt) has smiled back to him. Then my mind started to picture myself pointing faults in meals and unthankfully wasting a lot of it as if I have created it myself. He keeps his eyes low and head bowed in front of even a human who feeds him 'a bit', but mine are raised in disobedience of Allah (swt) who gives me more than I can eat.... I had to immediately reject the flow of thoughts coming to my mind in order to prevent my tears from falling. From there onwards it became really difficult for me to take every single step after he placed a mountain of questions on my shoulders.

Even though I was going to the right place, he was siting at the wrong place teaching me the right way to pray before I step into the mosque.. ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57820-what-schools-cant-teach.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57799-may-those-pure-souls-rest-peace.html Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:04:44 GMT When the news of the crusader army that had prepared on the horizons to wipe out Islam reached him, Abu Qudaamah Ash-Shaamee moved quickly to the Mimbar of the Masjid.

When the news of the crusader army that had prepared on the horizons to wipe out Islam reached him, Abu Qudaamah Ash-Shaamee moved quickly to the Mimbar of the Masjid. In a powerful and emotional speech, Abu Qudaamah ignited the desire of the community to defend their land, Jihad for the sake of Allah. As he left the Masjid, walking down a dark and secluded alley, a women stopped him and said, "As salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullaah!"

Abu Qudaamah stopped and did not answer. She repeated her salam again, adding "this is not how pious people should act." She stepped forward from the shadows. "I heard you in the Masjid encouraging the believers to go for Jihad and all I have is this." She handed him two long braids. "It can be used for a horse rein. Perhaps Allah may write me as one of those who went for Jihaad."

The next day as the Muslims set out to defend their land, a young boy ran through the gathering and stood at the hooves of Abu Qudaamah's horse. "I ask you by Allah to allow me to join the army." Some of the elder fighters laughed at the boy. "The horses will trample you," they said. But Abu Qudaamah looked down into his eyes as he asked again, "I ask you by Allah, let me join." Abu Qudaamah then said, "On one condition, if you are killed, you will take me to Jannah with you amongst those who you will be allowed to intercede for." That young boy smiled and said "It's a promise."

When the two armies met and the fighting intensified, the young boy on the back of Abu Qudaamah's horse asked, "I ask you by Allah to give me 3 arrows." "You'll lose them!" The boy repeated, "I ask you by Allah to give me them." Abu Qudaamah gave him the arrows and the boy took aim. "Bismillaah!" The arrow flew and killed a Roman. "Bismillaah!" The second arrow flew, killing a second Roman. "Bismillaah!" The third arrow flew, killing a third Roman. An arrow then struck the boy in the chest - knocking him off the horse. Abu Qudaamah jumped down to his side, reminding the boy in his final breaths, "Don't forget the promise!" The boy reached into his pocket, extracted a pouch and said, "Please return this to my mother." "Who's your mother?" asked Abu Qudaamah. "The woman who gave you the braids yesterday."

1. With 0% practical experience, how quickly he sincerely 'absorbs' the intense emphasis of his parents to inculcate in him the value of education.

2. Knowing parents' sincerity, does he ignore their warnings against unsuccessful exam scores by saying, "We will see when it comes" let me enjoy now the activities my heart desires.

3. Is he consistent in jolting himself to prepare before the actual exam thunderbolt

4. Does he consult the right people having enough knowledge and experience to solve his problems or he himself declares himself a master of all trades ?

Now let us replace: our parents with the Prophet Muhammad (saw), our exams with Allah's exam, and our examiners with Allah (swt) and judge ourselves. The only difference is: in this life we keep getting chances but in hereafter there would be none for infinite years.

Even repeatedly reading, listening to and discussing the importance of education helps in inculcating its value in the mind of even a dull student, thus making it easy for his heart to work harder for it. Let us also repeatedly listen to, read and talk about what we "want to" become. ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57744-inculcating-fear-love-unseen.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57726-why-so-much-pain-our-life.html Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:57:22 GMT A scholar once told me that a painful time in a Muslim's life is basically due to two reasons:
It is either a test from Allah to increase his degree in heaven, to wash away his sins, to reward him in near future and to bring him closer to Allah. The only deed with infinite rewards is to be patient in troubled times (hadith)
Or it might be a punishment from Allah due to his past sins for which he didn't repent, hence nature pushes him back to the path of Allah from which he had deviated.

I thought how would we know if our physical or mental pain is a test or a punishment. He said, "If he is still patiently thankful to Allah (swt) after losing money, status, job, health, relationships....etc., then he is passing through a test meant to strengthen his Imaan. Otherwise he is going through a punishment. Because tests brings along with it a divine consolation to heart (sakinah) but punishments bring along pain and restlessness to heart unless a person sincerely seeks guidance and repents for his sins with an intention of not repeating them in future."
May Allah (swt) guide us all towards the right path. Ameen! ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57726-why-so-much-pain-our-life.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57705-how-wake-up-after-over-dose-sleeping-pills.html Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:22:21 GMT I disliked the scholars who told me the "bitter truth" because most of them are against the forbidden desires/luxury that my heart enjoys. I always liked the scholar who is ready to bend and twist the Islamic regulations in order to accommodate in it my present lifestyle, that includes more of the sophisticated stuff than Quran, remembrance of Allah (Zikr), charity...etc. But one day while I was unintentionally trying to justify to a scholar the importance of "time spent on" fashion,music, movies...etc. more than "sunnah", I asked him, "Where is it written that this sunnah is must" In reply he smiled and called the most influential person for help, "Forget where it is written (as he knew I read newspaper more than authentic sources) ask the scholar inside yourself what is the truth ?"

My whole body began to shiver when the "zameer" (conscience) inside me was awaken. I gave a heavy dose of "what will people say, what will my relatives say, what will my friends say, what will my colleagues say" to my conscience so that he doesn't wake up again to disturb the so called 'peacefulness' of my mind created through materialistic ways.

But then one day I came across the strongest tablet (question) that removed the effect of all the other sleeping pills:


















What if the Prophet (saw) asks you on the day of judgment, "You cared about what people/relatives/friends say about your deeds, dress and lifestyle but did you ever consider what I and Allah (swt) think ?" ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57705-how-wake-up-after-over-dose-sleeping-pills.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57676-wonders-dirty-water-dry-leaves.html Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:36:39 GMT In fact it is the wonder of the horse whose sense of loyalty reaches its maximum level after you give it some water from a pond and dry grass to eat only ONCE.

In fact it is the wonder of the horse whose sense of loyalty reaches its maximum level after you give it some water from a pond and dry grass to eat only ONCE. Then their master become their priority over their own comfort and life. Even with an empty stomach, they are always ready for their master. Before a battle they don't look back at the master with a look that says, "This is your fight, why are you pushing me into it and risking my life ? Isn't that enough that I have been carrying you on myself for a whole day non stop. I am tired now, instead of showing mercy you are putting me ahead of yourself to face the swords/bullets ?!" In the wars even if they get injured they don't leave their master till death, but are ready with unhealed wounds for the battle of next day without proper rest. Even though they have enough strength to get rid of their master after spending days and nights in a battle, BUT "getting tired and disobeying" is not in their dictionary when it comes to loyalty with their master. Who taught an animal that is more stronger than man to so easily become a slave of man ?!?!

Man claims to be superior to horse, but the infinite amount of blessings in infinite forms from his Allah (swt) doesn't seem enough for most of them to overcome their laziness and show a bit of obedience and sincerity towards the order of 5 times prayer that is not even 10% of the time they have in a day.

You used to cry at night (for the ummah) and were fearful of Allah. I don't know if Allah would allow me to meet you on the day of Judgment. With time, my deeds are changing. I don't know in what condition would I die, I wonder if I would be able to meet you...."

Overwhelmed, Umar (r.a) felled to the ground. Then controlling his tears he knocked at the door. "Who ?" came the voice."Umar.." was the reply. "Umar ?!?! What has HE to do in my home..?" Umar replied, " Please listen to me, I request you in the name of Allah to repeat to me the poem you were reciting in the love of the Prophet...I want to listen to it again...."
Such uncontrollable was their love and passion for the Prophet. After a war, a suhabi was lying on the ground with blood all over his body, every inch of him seemed to be filled with wounds, few breaths were remaining in a state between life and death. The prophet (saw) recognized him and said, "Ask whatever you want (in heaven)" The Prophet's voice brought life to the unconscious sahabi. He opened his eyes, his broken hands and feet didn't help him so he crawled towards the prophet, placed his head on the prophet's feet, looked up to him and smilingly let out his last breath...

But our love is only limited to, "It is just a sunnah, doing it earns you blessings, but not doing it is of no harm"Love of money forces us to pick our coin falling from our pocket, but the love of Prophet (saw) doesn't force us to adopt his ways that are falling from our lifestyle ?! ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57665-driving-force-love.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57275-if-being-muslim-benefits-me.html Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:24:51 GMT materialistically, GOOD! otherwise, I never claimed to be a good Muslim. I find it impossible to wake up early to go to mosque (unless the Imam distributes free latest laptops after dua, then I would be the first one to reach half an hour earlier or may be I won't even sleep at night to not miss the great sawab. Even if I fell dizzy, my relatives will make sure that I don't lose this honor. My friends would accompany me in this noble cause and join the great crowd coming from all directions towards the masjid..We would be thinking about the model and system of this sawab even during prayer.)

I spent 3 years away from family for Masters, because Muslim ummah needs engineers (with a high pay spent on myself not the Ummah). Our prophet (saw) ordered us to give sacrifices for knowledge (of course I would assume it the knowledge that earns me high status). In case of knowledge of Quran and hadith, well, where is it written that one should leave family for a 4 months Islamic course? (of course not written in the fashion magazines and newspapers I regularly read)" But if there is an Islamic degree that earns me a "highly paid job + status" then ahem.., you don't need to show me where it is written, it MUST be true. If the pay is not good, then Quran and hadith is only for the Imam to learn, I would carry on with "I think this and that" if I need answer to any Islamic question.

I frequently give expensive gifts to my ill mannered boss and invite him to dinner because our Prophet (saw) has said that frequent exchange of gifts increase love in the heart of people. About the well mannered peon, gatekeeper, driver, assistant...etc. I don't want to increase my love in their heart, after all we all make mistakes and I never said I am a good Muslim. If the new Chairman of another company is a good person than our Prophet (saw) encouraged us to have a company of good people.

As I hurried out of a shop into a park and moved towards my home, I saw the same man with torn clothes quietly standing in the rain selling corns. As usual no one was buying it from him. He was quietly watching the people enjoying with their children, laughing, buying expensive clothes, eating food and moving towards their expensive cars.

I asked him the price of one corn. Confused, he quickly paused for a second and then looked into my eyes, as if I would run away if he told me a higher price. Then he humbly said, "1.5 lira". When I said "ok" an amazing innocent smile appeared on his face, as if he was happy that I didn't ask him to reduce the price. That smile would have healed the heart that was wounded in the past after seeing the sight of people in a shinny air conditioned car insisting him under a scorching sun to give them 3 corns for 1 lira, and he sadly accepting it after realizing that they would leave if he didn't accept it. They would waste hundreds on useless fun, but never give him a bit extra then he asks for.

One of them told me that he never saw his parents and was born in a place where there weren't many people to guide him towards education. I swear that I would have been in his place had my parents not drummed the importance of education into my mind.

They might not know, but I know why there is always a satisfied look on their face and a tense look on mine. Because, on the day of judgement it would be my turn to sweat very hard for justifying each and every bit of my possession, how I got it, and where did I "prefer" to spend it. But they don't have anything to be questioned for. They have many reasonable and logical excuses for not praying, fasting, giving charity,...etc. but the angels of punishment won't show any mercy on me...

May Allah (swt) give awareness to people like me who have gone astray from the right path.. ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57236-price-i-dont-value.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57193-beautiful-person-mirror.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:12:46 GMT If my colleague comes to meet me and offers me free pork, alcohol and dirty stuff to watch. I would get angry and kick him out of my room. Then I would look into the mirror and feel happy about myself being a good person who doesn't indulge in such stuff.

Now, the same colleague enters my room and secretly tells me that he has something "important" to share with me against "my competitor" in office. I would keenly ask him to sit and happily order a cup of tea, so that we both "friends" enjoy it along with the beef of our dead brother.

We both might not realize the following facts:

1. Our good deeds would be given to our competitor and his bad deeds would be put into our account on the day of judgment.

2. Our Prophet (saw) has declared Backbiting to be a GREATER sin than adultery, drinking wine and eating pork.

3. While we think of each other as "friends" now, in near future nature would fill our hearts with hatred against each others, giving a chance to other people to ridicule our sins and flaws in our personality.

But this time I wouldn't find an ugly person in the mirror, because my "sense of guilt" has got used to this sin and doesn't consider it bad anymore.

May Allah (swt) guide people like me so that they don't fool themselves by feeling good about their sins. ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57193-beautiful-person-mirror.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57178-shameful-comparison-indeed.html Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:25:25 GMT If a person asks me, "Between the two, whom do you love more, whose words matter to you more, whom you try to impress, whose praise you wish, whose thankfulness satisfies you, whose love forces you to give him more time and sacrifices.....etc. In short, who is the ultimate motivation behind the energy that you have. Allah (swt) or People ?"

Most Probably I would slap him for such a comparison and asking me a question with a 100% obvious answer. BUT, have I really checked and considered the difference of both the loves in my heart ?"

Lets see. I am excitingly combing my hair in front of the mirror, smiling, looking fresh and satisfied, wearing my best dress, re-arranging the most effective words in my mind to impress the person I am going to meet. Using my best perfume, polishing my best shoes, warning myself to remain alert and active in selection of every move and word, thinking of all the possible ways I can develop more place in the heart of the dear relative/friend/boss/....etc. If in front of them, I may easily give a lot of money for charity, keep my eyes low in front of na-mehram, if anyone is rude with me, I would remain graceful calm, polite, gentleman, forgiving, and even ready to sacrifice my rights in order to become more popular in the books of people who matter to me. Missing an appointment with my boss or delaying it means death for me, as I can't afford to anger him and lose a promotion...etc. My concentration is of highest level when talking to them. In meetings cameras might be recording each and every move I make and every word I say so I have to be very careful...I even extend my talk, show thankfulness, ignore misbehavior, gracefully accept tough tests and challenges for my goal,...etc. because I care what people say and think about me, thus my aim is to "impress" them and achieve the most respectful status among them...

Now, If I consider and compare all the above ways of dedication for SOMEONE, who deserves it infinite times more than people, why wouldn't I be embarrassed. My priority is to listen to him the least (Quran) quickly get over with my incomplete meeting (Salah/namaz) thinking of other "important matters" in the meeting. Getting angry, selfish, miser...etc. with people when HE is watching me.......not saying tearful sorry after disobedience.....

May Allah (swt) guide me and all the ignorant people like me towards the right path. ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/57178-shameful-comparison-indeed.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/56932-watch-whom-you-love-cry-please-dont-read.html Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:22:40 GMT I know I would be highly criticized by some, but I couldn't resist expressing my views on this subject. I might be totally wrong, in that case please pray that Allah (swt) may cure my insanity.

Recently a person went to attend the funeral of a religious scholar. His children told people that in their whole life they never saw their father sleep on bed. Either he used to fell asleep while reading, or while writing about the life and words of the Prophet (saw). His books would of course not get much attention just like most of the religious books, because he preferred writing on the life of his beloved Prophet (saw) instead of wasting his talent on lustfully attractive and other complicated stuff that could make his books "best seller" among the present day youth.

I know this can't be a lie, because I have met them and seen their lifestyle.. They are not the ones projected by media because most people are not interested. If I have to cut short my opinion, I would say that they spent most of their life fasting, even if they got a bit of money, they spent it on others. Their lifestyle is the closest to that of Suhaba-e-rasool (saw), free from greed, lust, easy forbidden money, hunger of fame, show off, israaf, pride, and every other "disobedience to Allah (swt)" one can think of...The ultimate purpose of their life was to serve mankind, save them from satanic acts but show them the path of the Prophet (saw). BUT when they die, very few among the youth know about their sacrifices because their emotions, feelings, and tears are reserved for celebrities who spend their whole life in "acts" that disconnected people form their beloved Prophet (saw), but earned them luxury, greed, lust, popularity and pride. Their words and acts didn't teach people to humbly place their head in remembrance of their lord, but to "rock & roll" in HIS disobedience.

To this injustice & contrast of "emotional tribute", even if the mountains, seas, the earth and the sky shed tears for thousands of years, that won't be enough, but their is a consolation for those pious people that their butchering of their wishes in the way of Allah (swt) has not been ignored, as the prophet said, "(on the day of judgment), a man would be raised with those whom he loved" They preferred loving their Prophet (saw) not only by their words BUT ALSO by their ACTS and inshaAllah they would achieve his (saw) company in paradise.

It is now up to us if we want to be raised with the ones teaching people the ways of the Prophet (saw) or the ones spreading satanic acts! We all sure don't want to open our eyes on the day of judgment among celebrities having negligible connection with Allah (swt) through their ACTS! Instead it is better to at least prefer opening our eyes with the soldiers fighting for peace in our country, to whose shahadat we have become insensitive...How many times have we emotionally wished R.I.P. for their VOLUNTARY sacrifice.

Usually if a Muslim tries to perform this "MUST duty" with wisdom, few people might misunderstand him and think that he is trying to show his dominance & proving others wrong only for boosting his own ego, while only Allah (swt) knows his true intentions, which even the preacher himself doesn't know100% until death.

Even if the biggest scholar says that his heart is pure of evil (show off, pride,lust..etc.) and his Imaan is alright, he himself is the biggest Shaitaan (devil) because only Prophets have the right of such an incredible claim.

Now if a less practicing Muslim says to a preacher, "Go and preach to non-Muslims" He is forgeting that preaching is actually a reminder and correcton of oneself. Because even a believer needs reminders, for example:

O ye that believe! fear Allah and believe in His apostle....(57:28-29 Surah Al-Hadid).

Ofcourse if one is a believer, it is already known that he fears punishment of Allah (swt) and believes in His apostle, but here it is emphasized because our "fear of Allah (swt)" is weaker than fear of worldly problems and our "believe in Allah's apostle" is not up to the mark that is why we follow very less of "his ways"

Just like if we say to a child (wearing dirty clothes)," Go, and wear clothes". Of course he is already wearing clothes, but it is evident that we meant to tell him to change it with clean ones...." The child, who has got used to dirty clothes and no longer think of it to be dirty, replies, " My clothes were perfectly clean when I bought them" but he forgets that without taking much care they would get dirty with time, which requires cleaning. If he has got used to dirty clothes, doesn't mean that his clothes can be considered as clean as they were when he bought them.... ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/56845-we-already-believers-go-preach-non-muslims.html http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/56821-name-allah-swt.html Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:42:18 GMT A man begged Hazrat Khizar (a.s) for money. Khizar (a.s) replied that he had nothing. Not recognizing whom he was talking to, the man said," I beg you in the name of Allah (swt)!" Khizar (a.s) got worried, then told him to sell khizar (a.s) as a slave.

Khizar (a.s) was cheaply sold to a man whom he served for 1 year. One morning he ordered khizar (a.s) to start building a house, while he would bring some laborers for help. On his return he was shocked to see a beautiful house. Considering him a jin (demon), he repeatedly asked who he actually was, to which khizar (a.s) kept replying, "I am your slave"

Finally the man said, " I ask you in the name of Allah (swt) to tell me the whole truth about yourself".

After knowing that his slave was khizar (a.s), the teacher of Prophet Musa (a.s), he fell to his knees & cried, then asked the reason of this act, Khizar (a.s) replied, " I had nothing to give to that man but when he asked me in the name of Allah (swt), it wasn't possible for me to deny, so I requested him to sell me"

Only if we recognize our Lord at least 1% of the way he did, by the grace and mercy of Allah (swt). ]]> Submission To Peace http://www.paklinks.com/gs/blogs/submission-to-peace/56821-name-allah-swt.html
