PODTHOUGHT: SUPERIORITY AND SUCCESS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Even though the number of muslims have increased over time it is obvious that the strength of muslims has only decreased. Each muslim irrespective of the strength of their faith believes in the authenticity of the Holy Quran as doubting it would cause them to loseContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: SUPERIORITY AND SUCCESS”

PODTHOUGHT: TIMES OF EASE

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Muslims often increase their obedience to Allah, the Exalted, such as attending the Mosque for the congregational prayers or reciting more spiritual exercises in times of difficulty. But in times of ease they often relax and become lazy. But it is important to note, that generallyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: TIMES OF EASE”

PODTHOUGHT: WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the material world and the amount of effort most people dedicate to it compared to the effort dedicated to one’s religion. If one observes the material world, such as the movie industry, they will find that the people involved dedicate a largeContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER”

PODTHOUGHT: USEFUL TIME

I had a thought which I wanted to share. There are many muslims who dedicate much of their time, effort and wealth on things which are neither righteous deeds nor sins meaning, they are vain things. Vain things can also include acquiring unnecessary things, such as beautifying one’s home beyond their necessities. Even though, theyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: USEFUL TIME”

PODTHOUGHT: CERTAINTY OF FAITH

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the following verse of the Holy Quran: Chapter 41 Fussilat, verse 53: “We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth…” All muslims have faith in Islam butContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: CERTAINTY OF FAITH”

PODTHOUGHT: BALANCE IS BEST

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the importance of maintaining a balance life whereby a muslim fulfils their necessities and responsibilities in this world, prepares adequately for the hereafter and occasionally enjoys lawful pleasures. Even though, this is the best approach it is very difficult to fulfil justContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: BALANCE IS BEST”

PODTHOUGHT: UNITED FAMILY

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over a problem which affects most muslim families. With the passing of time they become divided and lose the strong connection they once had with one another. They are many causes of this but a major cause is the foundation on which theirContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: UNITED FAMILY”

PODTHOUGHT: RELIGION AND WORLD HAND IN HAND

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Some muslims often claim that one’s faith and the material world need to walk hand in hand with each other without them being extreme in either. It is strange how most of those who claim this and use this statement as a way to enjoy theContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: RELIGION AND WORLD HAND IN HAND”

PODTHOUGHT: REFOCUS THROUGH LOSS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over a specific wisdom why people face difficulties and the loss of blessings, such as health. Often when muslims receive blessings especially, beyond their need, it distracts them from the hereafter and instead focuses their minds on this material world. So in thisContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: REFOCUS THROUGH LOSS”

PODTHOUGHT: MISSING THINGS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is important for muslims to firmly believe that they will not intensely miss anything they give up for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, whether the thing is unlawful or lawful but unnecessary. One should not fall for the whisperings of the Devil by believingContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: MISSING THINGS”
