The Shadow Of Clouds

To rest is to reset! Week-offs are the days when we all are set ashore to change our physical or mental ability soaked up in laziness or weariness into the renewed vitality of plunging back into the sea of life again. It's the days that we yearn for spending time with our very intimate people, socializing with friends, or travelling to desired places with the given freedom of being into ownself, and are free from being watched by the eyes calculating merits and from every political or protocolic motives of business. But, did we ever contemplate about the origin of weekly off?  What is its one and the single and perhaps the only exclusive reason?  Although being in love with the patience of its coming. Although knowing how it evolved through generations after generations all around the world. Yet, have we ever wanted to know what is the sole motive behind weekly off and who is its sole motivator?                  ...

Bismillah Hir-Rehman Nir-Raheem In the name of Allah, the most beneficial, the most merciful. My dear readers,  I happened to read a blog which titles Where in the Qur'an does Allah say "I love you unconditionally?"  by Altruistico.  I do not know who Altruistico is, what country he is from, and what's his gender. Therefore, in this entire blog, I will have to refer to one gender pronoun as 'He'.  He writes, he's curious to know if there's a Muslim who can answer this one simple question, "Where in the Quran does it say Allah loves me unconditionally?" And the responses he has received from Muslims aren't satisfactory and are lacking. Furthermore, he intriguingly questioned, "What's the greatest act of love that Allah has ever accomplished?" by quoting  John 15:13 ,   1 John 4:16 , and  John 1:1  in comparison to prove that in Christianity, Jesus Christ, who is the God in flesh, ha...

Who doesn't love to have cold drink whilst having food especially when one is out for a treat at a roadside restaurant (Dhaba)? Well, it's most commonly swigged with relish to beat the heat now-a-days mainly to excite one's mouth, body, and mind, and to smooth a hot morsel for sensitizing its taste. A lot of us are so much lost in gaining pleasure that we don't think of diving into the fact that by doing so we participate to be one of those who intentionally or unintentionally support this strange sign that denotes the nearing of judgement day.  Yes, indeed! Drinking of Cold Water or Cold Drinks whilst having food is peculiar to one of the many strange signs of nearing of Judgement Day.                                                       ...

                                                     Alas! The more I grow, the far I go   Earth is my mother; my father is the Sun       Seasons are my friends who play, trouble and have fun    Dancing feet in the song of winds is yanked to go slow. Daddy sparkling lights; I feel fresh, on the toe, & bright Beholden to the chirping of visitors, who always keep me alive. Cometh a child of Adam, under the shadow of my soul showing no purpose, embracing all that he sees   Says, a guest is he, in need of a resting tree; I offered him the valley of peace The giggling of baby-grasses shall admire & console. Mamma didn't move; Daddy took to low l...

Bismillah Hir Rehman Nir Raheem  (In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficial, The Most Merciful) If the Gods of Egypt & Pharoah were true to their Godliness, why did they have no knowledge of the baby boy whom they drew out of the water is the Prophet of God? And so they named him Musa meaning 'drawn out of the water'. But, none except Allah made him do the parting of water of the Red Sea.                                         He is equally revered by Muslims, Christians, and Jews all around the world. He was enlighteningly powerful in his speech and actions. He was deeply moved by the afflictions of his people serving as slaves in Egypt. However, he led them out of such grievous misery and labored to overcome the horrific battle of burden, injustice, and deep sorrow for the love of his people and for the fulfillment of life and...

  Bismillah Hir Rehman Nir Raheem (In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficial, The Most Merciful) We all know about the 6 days of fasting in Shawwal, which is Sunnah Mustahabbah (non-obligatory but encouraged), and that it will have a reward of fasting for the whole year. It is also reported in the  Sahih Hadith  that Abu Ayyub  (May Allah Be Pleased with Him)  reported that the Messenger of Allah  (Peace be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for the whole year." Narrated By Muslim, Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nisa'i, and Ibn Majah, But, did we ever want to know why fasting for six days? Why not four, five, seven or any other number of days?                                                    ...

Bismillah Hir Rehman Nir Raheem (In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficial, The Most Merciful) A man walked up to Imam Ali (A.S.) & asked in respect with clenched hands down to honor the wise of wisdom,  "O Ali! For what reasons had Allah commanded satan to prostrate before Adam?" Ali (A.S) bespoke to the man , "Because Allah wanted to manifest to all, that his mankind should be respected. This is why he commanded Satan to bow down to Adam so that every human being understands that it is among humans He (Allah) has kept on all relations. Among Humans is a loving relationship of the Mother; a profound relationship of the father; a friendly relationship of the sister; a brotherly & blissful relationship of friends; a deep & intimate relationship of husband & wife; a beautiful & friendly relationship of the brothers like sugar and spice.      Because Allah wanted to show as openly and clearly as...
