Don't argue about religion

August 30, 2020 1 Comments


Again a note especially for my students because I can ask them to at least read this article fully and try to understand and implement this in their lives. Other readers are also welcome.

It’s my humble request to all of you that please don’t argue on topics related to religion. These are very sensitive topics. If you have authentic sources then just explain them, they are willing to listen and understand then continue with a lighter tone of voice, otherwise don’t make it the matter of your ego that why someone disagrees with me or why someone isn’t on my path.

It’s a free world everyone has its own space and thinking capabilities. Your arguments or unhealthy discussions didn’t only effects the environment and people surrounding you, another reason is keeping quiet when you don’t have authentic knowledge to explain it, it might be possible you can add something false, incorrect, or some addition without source.

Same as when you read a book. All of the class fellows read the same book but some understand it deeply, thoroughly, and with good understanding. But some students who concentrate less or have less understanding with the same book can miss some of the topics, pages, paragraphs or if someone misses on the chapter, he/she may be unable to relate the other chapter with the missing one.

Same in such discussions relating to religion it’s not so easy to implant your idea in another person’s mind which is also well functioning and highly organized because the Creator is the same just the creation is creating a mess.

So please don’t say any harsh words to your friend, colleague, neighbors, or any person relating to you.

Just spread love, try to leave the argument, try to make a settlement if you encounter any argument.

Abu Umamah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise for one who leaves arguments even if he is right, and a house in the middle of Paradise for one who abandons lies even when joking, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who makes his character excellent.”

From an interview of Mr Edhi

August 28, 2020 0 Comments


The late Abdul Sattar Edhi was asked in an interview, "You buried thousands of helpless bodies. Have you ever cried when you see the deteriorating condition of a corpse or torture it?"

He closed his eyes and pondered, saying it was not a tortured or corpse. However, once my volunteers brought a clean dead body that looked like an old but newly and belonging to a well-educated family. His hair was oiled like white silver. And there was a clean comb. In the ironed suit, his personality looked very dignified. But it was just a dead body, Edhi Sahib seemed to think again.

Many bodies are brought to us every day. But a body that leaves its mark. I was looking at this body carefully. That's what my volunteer told me that the body was lying outside his bungalow.

As we reached the front of the bungalow, a young man from the family, who was waiting for us in a taxi, came out and quickly handed us an envelope. These are funeral expenses. Then he shortly explained, this is my father, take care of him, bathe him well and bury him. We listened a noise from the taxi. "The flight will depart in your speech". As soon as the young man heard this, he turned and got into the taxi and the taxi disappeared from sight.

Mr Edhi said he was saddened to learn of the body and when I started seeing the unfortunate man again, I felt as if he was waving his arm and begging me to help Mr Edhi. Saying that, Mr Edhi you take care dead bodies please help me also. He decided that I would take a bath and bury that body.

Then, as I began to bathe, I saw this body and think that he had done so much in his life. Will be reliable and sensitive. He had done everythingto raise his son. But the son did not have time for burial. He was more afraid of getting out of the flight than his father was in the grave.

And so my tears flowed while bathing this dead body.

Then he wiped his tears with a cloth over his shoulder, cried and said I wish we would focus more on better education and training for our children than luxury.

Allah is with you...

I always lose in front of people in their fruitless debate...
Because I don't know how to fight...
I get confused!!!
I leave everything for Him...
It's not that I don't mind. I hurt sadly...
The smile I put on my face to hide a tear
Maybe laughs at me later...
Words can never cure my grief...
I don't say anything to anyone...
I bow before Him and say this while crying like a child...
Your servant is very weak...
I can't fight with anyone I can't stand anyone's words...
People's attitudes hurt me and I sit for hours with my sympathizers...
I let my mind feel relax...
I know He listens to me with great love and comforts me...
I put myself in front of Him...
Thinking that this time He will make my broken existence better.
Will sew with good threads...
Beautiful colors will fill me...
The color of His love...
Which is better than all the colors ...
It's in color...
And then the heart feels calm...
Where is the grief when Allah is with me???
He holds me like a mother...
Shelter me like a caregiver...
Wipes away my tears like a friend...
And Never leaves me alone...
[ Allah ] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see. [Quran 20:46]
