One ummah

"The Believers, in their mutual love, mercy and compassion, are like one body: if one organ complained, the rest of the body develops a fever."
[Bukhari & Muslim]


In Islam we are all brothers and sisters.Hence it is necessary for each of us to cater care for our brothers and sisters in every possible way we can. We have to care for their well being as we would care for ourself. We need to understand the fact that brotherhood in Islam imposes a great responsibility on us to protect our brothers and sisters from harm, even from their own selves. We should ensure that we do not allow ourselves or others around us to engage in activities that could affect the unity of the Muslim Ummah.It is necessary to let our brothers know that we sincerely love them as we do our own blood brothers, and that we are ready to help them in any way we are able to.

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

"The believers are nothing else than brothers. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy." [Al-Hujjurat, 49:10]

We do not need to fragment our Ummah. All muslims are one!!!

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described the Ummah as one body; if one member becomes sick then the other members of this one body will take care of the sick one:

"The Believers, in their mutual love, mercy and compassion, are like one body: if one organ complained, the rest of the body develops a fever." [Bukhari & Muslim]

 It is our obligation to be aware of all affairs impacting Muslims everywhere. Allah سبحانه وتعالى has described the believer as a brother to another believer, and therefore it should pain us,just as it would if it were our own blood brother ,when we read about the plight of our fellow Muslims. It is imperative to always care and be concerned for their affairs, regardless of geography or language, and do whatever is possible within the circumstances. It is imperative to care, or even train ourselves to care for Muslims in nearby or remote parts of the world by reminding ourselves that our bond with all Muslims is that of brothers and sisters.

Maybe we cannot help physically but we can still pray for them. Supplicate daily for them. Our respect and compassion should not be meant for limited number of people but it should be as wide in sweep as possible. Sometimes we do not realise that we have all facilities whereas some of our brothers are in pain. They do not have sweet water to drink neither they have the ability to breathe fresh air. Forgetting about sleeping they do not even have a proper shelter.

So make it compulsory to always remember these vulnerable brothers and sisters in our duahs and ask Allah to help them out.

Life is a blessing...

Life is a blessing
Be thankful and appreciate it
we brought nothing and will return to dust one day
Maybe sometimes there is pain and worries
Still life remains a darling
We all have our pains and happiness
but always remember
there is victory after defeat
If there is a moment of sadness
the next one will be of happiness
Maybe for now we are covered by a cloud of sorrows
but will come a day where happiness will light our lives
For every drop of tears will be flows of smiles
What if today we are broken
 maybe tomorrow we will be repaired
In every minute of our life
there is always something to live for
Never let your sorrows bring you down
Never decide to end your life for any reason
Because life is always worth living
Always ignite lamps of faith
Allah is always with us
He never cause pain to any soul beyond its capacity. When you find yourself in moment of pain and sadness, remember to turn back to Allah, He is the one to lift up our courage.

Prayers

The prophet said: " The comparison of the one who remembers Allah and the one who does not, is like that of the living and the dead"

Praying is an important pillar of Islam. Prayer is a unique training and developmental program which, if well and devotedly performed, can achieve for a Muslim many valuable spiritual, physical, and ethical gains. Prayers are a type of purification for a human being.  He turns and meets with his Lord five times a day.
In addition, the prayer in itself is a good deed that wipes away some of the evil deeds that a person performed.

The importance of prayer is demonstrated in many of the Prophet’s statements.  For example, the Prophet said,

“The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer.  If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound.  And if it is incomplete, then the rest of his deeds will be incomplete.”

Despite being so essential, some Muslims to do not pray or find lame excuses to run away from praying but
Why should we pray?

• It connects us to Allah
• Success lies in Prayer
• It keeps us satisfied and it enriches our soul
• It keeps us away from committing sins
• It promotes discipline and God consciousness and to place one complete trust in Allah alone
• Last but not least we all depend on Allah's guidance

 " Hold on to your swalah, Because if you lose that you will lose everything else"

umar ibn Al khatab(r.a)

Below is a little video to denote our some reasons why people do not pray. [sorry its in creole will soon translate it ;)]



We must all pray often, for prayer is a shield for the soul, a sacrifice to God and a scourge for Satan. Always remember Pray before you are prayed upon...
