Who is the master of our destiny?

In whose hands our destiny lies ?
WHO IS MASTER OF OUR DESTINY ?


All nature proclaims the goodness of Allah. The evidence of His existence is scattered all around us. Not only, He created things in pairs, but created them in the most beautiful contrasts.


Look for example at the sun and the moon.The glorious sun is the source of our light during the day, and the moon shines with its splendor during the night. Both form a pair but how different is their lights from each other.

The next contrasted pair is not of the lights, but of the conditions resulting due to the absence and presence of light – the day and the night. The day reveals the sun’s glory while the night conceals it from our sight. Both are periods of time but again how different from each other.

And then the earth and the sky, one stretching far – far beyond our imagination the other right below our feet. One how far and the other so near. What an astonishing contrast.

But the most striking contrast is present in our own souls. God created the soul, and gave it an order, proportion and relative perfection, in order to adapt for the particular circumstances in which it has to live its life. He then breathed into it an understanding of what is sin, impiety, wrong-doing and what is piety and right conduct.

This faculty of distinguishing between right and wrong (the contrast within) is the most precious gift of God to man. This internal evidence of God’s goodness is the biggest of all the blessings bestowed by the Mighty Creator on His frail creature. Just think for  a moment DO WE MAKE OUR OWN DESTINY IF NOT THEN WHO IS THE CREATOR OF OUR DESTINY.

Therefore, man should learn that his success, his prosperity, his salvation depends on himself and his failure, his decline; his perdition depends on spoiling his soul by choosing evil. If man’s free-will has any meaning, he only has the choice of keeping his soul pure as God created it - or corrupting it.

Think again…

Did Islam spread with sword?/ क्या इस्लाम तलवार से फैलाया गया?

Did Islam spread with sword?/ क्या इस्लाम तलवार से फैलाया गया? “Fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated”,   says a noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in his book “Islam at the cross road (Page 8)”. And if someone says, that Islam teaches violence and hatred then such a person does not know nothing about Islam. For Islam is based on the association of a human being with the Supreme Being. This bond of love between the created and the Creator is as strong as the one which we have with our parents in general or even stronger. The Supreme Being is a permanent companion and a sure help in emergency, if approached aright. But, men often mistake His help for apparent causes. Islam demands reason and common sense as there no place for mysticism in its teachings.   Despite being strict in its discipline, the living rela...

भगवान पैग़म्बर क्यों भेजता है?

भगवान पैग़म्बर क्यों भेजता है? आम तौर पर, इस दुनिया में पैदा हुए हर बच्चे को देखने के लिए आं खें , सुनने के लिए कान, गंध और सांस लेने के नाक , हाथ छूने को , पैर चलने को और सोचने के लिए दिमाग दिया जाता है। सभी क्षमताओं, शक्तियों और संकाय जि नकी इस व्यक्ति को ज़रूरत या आवश्यकता होगी, सावधानीपूर्वक उसको प्रदान की जाती है और अद्भुत तरीके से इसके छोटे से शरीर में सेट की जाती है। हर मिनट की आवश्यकता पहले से ही उपलब्ध है और प्रदान की जाती है। य ही हाल उस दुनिया का भी है जहां वह रहता है। उ से जीवन के लिए आवश्यक सब कुछ प्रदान किया जाता है: हवा, प्रकाश, गर्मी, पानी आदि। अपनी आंखें खोलने वाला बच्चा अपनी मां को छाती में अपना भोजन पाता है, उसके माता-पिता उसे सहजता से प्यार करते हैं और उनके दिल में उसकी देखभाल करने के लिए एक अनूठा आग्रह होता है, उसे पालने और उसके कल्याण के लिए जो कुछ भी वह कर सकते हैं उस के लिये बलिदान दे ते हैं । जी वन जीने की इस प्रणाली की आश्रय देखभाल के तहत एक बच्चा परिपक्वता तक बढ़ता है और अपने जीवन के प्रत्येक चरण में उस...

How a message can lead to Hellfire..?

How a message can lead to Hellfire..? How ignorance can lead to death? Nowadays it is a common practice to forward messages whether non-religious or religious for the sake of reward or helping other people. But it is causing more harm than benefit to the extent that in India, people are even getting killed because of forwarded fake news and religiously speaking it is so dangerous that it can not only lead to punishment in the grave but can rather prevent us from entering into Paradise. The Lawgiver Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) issued a stern warning against passing on false information. Narrated Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Prophet (pbuh) saying, “A Qattat will not enter Paradise.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.82). A Qattat is a person who conveys disagreeable, false information from one person to another with the intention of causing harm and enmity between them. It is also Narrated Ibn ‘Abbaas (rza...

Jesus came for a Sword? ईसा तलवार के लिए आये थे?

Jesus came for a Sword? ईसा तलवार के लिए आये थे? मनुष्य मूल रूप से शुद्ध बनाया गया था। एक पैग़म्बर की आवश्यकता तब होती है जब कुछ भ्रष्टाचार और पाप होता है, जिससे उसे युद्ध करने के लिए भेजा जाता है। उसके आने का मतलब बहुत परीक्षण और पीड़ा होता है; विशेष रूप से उन लोगों के लिए जो गलत के विरोध उसका साथ देतें हैं। ईसा ( शांती हो उन पर ) जैसे एक शांतिपूर्ण नबी ने भी कहा: "मैं शांति के लिए नहीं बल्कि तलवार के लिए भेजा गया हूँ।" (Matt.x.34) एक पैग़म्बर इसलिए भी आता है कि उन सभी रूहानी रहस्यों के बारे में गवाही दे जो अज्ञानता या अंधविश्वासों से अस्पष्ट हो गए हैं, या सांप्रदायिक विवाद की धूल में खो गए हैं।   वह एक नया धर्म या संप्रदाय स्थापित करने के लिए नहीं आता। वह धर्म सिखाने आता है। वह भगवान के सामने इस पर भी गवाह है कि मनुष्यों ने भगवान का संदेश किस प्रकार लिया। वह खुशखबरी या भगवान की रहमत की अच्छी खबर के वाहक के रूप में आता है। इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि इंसान गुनाह में कितना दूर जा चुका हो या खुद पर कितना ज़ुल्म कर बै...

DO WE HAVE FREE WILL OR NOT ? WHAT IS PREDESTINATION (QADAA AND QADAR) ?

Qadar Qadar is an Arabic word, meaning predestination or “divine fore ordainment”. It is one of the sixth pillar of faith, along with faith in unanimity of Allah, the revealed scriptures, the prophets, the days of resurrection, and archangels.

THE DAY I DIED

Life is unpredictable. But I always thought I could predict what was going to happen next. It was only six days ago. I was driving home with my friends, Malik and Omar. It was Halloween night. We had just watched the movie Saw 3 at the recently refurbished theater at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santo Monica, CA.  It was 11:46 p.m. when I glanced at the clock on the dashboard and realized I hadn't made Isha.(night prayer)  But I didn't say anything, so as not to upset the mood. Just three hours earlier, I put off the Isha prayer until after the movie. Now, I was running out of time.   I only lived 26 years. My 27th birthday was exactly two weeks away. I always imagined I would live long. At least until age 60. It just wasn't imaginable that I would have such a sudden, unexpected death. I had graduated from the University of Southern California three years earlier with a degree that means absolutely nothing right now. Shortly after, I landed a job as a marketing di...
