A Great Understanding - fight against Satan

One of the early scholars said to his student, “What would you do if Satan entices you to sin?” He said, “I would struggle against him.” “And if he returns?” would struggle against him,” the student repeated. “And if he returns again?” The student again says, “I would struggle against him.” The scholar told him, “This can take forever. What if you are passing by some sheep and their watchdog starts barking at you, preventing you from passing, what would your action be?” The student answers, “I would wear it down by struggle and repel it.” The teacher then says, “This is a lengthy process. If you go instead to the owner of the sheep, he will be able to make the dog desist.“’ This is a great lesson narrated by ibn al-Jauzi and that is that seeking refuge and shelter with Allah is the strongest way to refute Satan and to get far away from him. This is what the mother of Mary did when she said

Lo , I crave your protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast (imran-36)

Some people say, We seek refuge in Allah but we still feel Satan coming to us and urging us to evil or preoccupying us while we are in the prayers.” The reply to this is that seeking refuge in Allah is like a sword that is in the hands of a warrior. If his arm is strong, he is able to penetrate and kill his enemy. If his arm is weak, he may leave no mark at all on his opponent, even if it is a very sharp sword. The same is the case with seeking refuge from Satan. If one is pious and God-fearing, this invocation becomes like a fire that bums Satan If the person is of weak faith, one whose faith is mixed with evil, then this weapon hardly harms Satan whatsoever.

Islamization of Education --(TEACHER'S MANUAL) By Dr. Bilal Philips The topic of Islamization of Education has been under discussion for almost the last 40 years. It can bedated back to at least the 20th century, where educators from various parts of the world gathered in Makkah in the 70s, and analyzed the problems. Muslims were facing with regards to Education. They looked at the existing models and discussed Islamic requirements, and they wrote about the need for Islamization of knowledge as it is conveyed in the educational institutions. In fact, they virtually wrote an encyclopedia on the topic at hand. Since that time, a number of Islamic schools have arisen in Muslim countries.. Education is primarily the responsibility of parents, it is primarily the responsibility of the Muslim parents to educate their Muslim children.

What was the message of Jesus..?

What was the message of Jesus..? If there would have been more than one master of this universe, then there would surely have been great crisis. But, we don ’ t see any crisis around us, in fact there is such a perfect harmony behind all the forces of nature that no reasonable mind can fail to see behind all creation one single and all powerful Command of one single and all powerful Creator. Therefore, reason refuses to accept the idea of conflicting gods, and points towards the Unifying command in creation indicating the Unity of the Creator. This is not only the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but the message of all the Prophets who came before him. The message given to every Prophet in all ages was to believe in One and Only God confirming with the fundamental basis of creation on which this universe runs. They never say anything before they receive Allah ’ s commands to say it, and their acts are conditioned accordingly. This is also the teac...

मिराज क्या है ..?

मिराज क्या है ..? मिराज भ्रम की एक अजीब घटना है। रेगिस्तान में एक अकेला यात्री, प्यास से लगभग मर रहा है, पानी की एक विस्तृत शीट देखता है। लेकिन हकीकत में वहां कोई पानी नहीं है, यह उसकी दृष्टि का एक धोका है - एक मिराज है। वह उस दिशा में आगे बढ़ता रहता है, लेकिन कुछ भी नहीं पाता और आखिरकार चरम शारीरिक और मानसिक दर्द में मर जाता है। ईश्वर का अस्तित्व एक पूर्ण वास्तविकता है, जबकि दूसरी ओर उसकी अस्वीकृति, खुद में वास्तविकता नहीं है बल्कि इस पूर्ण वास्तविकता से इनकार है - एक मिराज है। जो लोग इस तथ्य से इनकार करते हैं, उसके विरूद्ध विद्रोह करते हैं, और उसके चिन्हों को देखने से इंकार करते हैं, वे महासागर के गेहरे अंधेरों में हैं, अंधेरे में लहर, एक दूसरे के ऊपर, और उसपर घने अंधेरे बादल! वास्तविकता की दुनिया में प्रकाश का सच्चा स्रोत अल्लाह है, और जो लोग इस प्रकाश से खुद को काटते हैं वे वास्तव में अंधेरे में हैं, क्योंकि यह केवल एकमात्र सच्ची रोशनी को अस्वीकार करते हैं। उनके सभी कर्म एक मिराज द्वारा भ्रमित आदमी की तरह हैं। जिस सच्चाई को उन्होंने खारिज कर दिया वह हमेशा उनक...

How to conquer Time?

How to conquer Time? All history shows that Evil came to an evil end and time is always in favour of those live clean and pure lives and know how to wait in patience and constancy having faith in God and His messengers. Time through the ages bear witness that nothing remains except Good deeds and teachings of Truth. If he is going to waste or misuse life, Man against time is in loss. In the Qurán an appeal is made with respect to Time as one of the creations of Allah, of which everyone knows something but of which no one can fully explain the exact significance. If life is considered to be a business bargain, Man by merely accumulating material wealth or gains, will lose. When he makes up his account, it will show a loss. It will only show a profit if he obeys God and follow His messengers, leads a good life, and contributes to society by directing and encouraging other people on the path of Truth and constancy. If he lived only for himself, ...

What was the message of Jesus..?

Worship God not His creation.! / भगवान की पूजा करो, उसकी रचना की नही..!

Worship God not His creation.! / भगवान की पूजा करो , उसकी रचना की नही ..! Night and Day are opposites, and yet, they both subserve the purpose of human good, because the night gives us rest while during the day we promote activity. The sun and the moon are similarly complementary. They are but instruments: God is the Cause, worship God, and not the things which He has created. Use the things which He has created, but do not worship them. They are but Signs pointing towards Him. Think again… And from among His Signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourself to Allah Who created them, if it is Him you (really) worship. (Al-Qur’aan Sura. 41 Ayat. 37) भगवान की पूजा करो , उसकी रचना की नहीं ..! रात और दिन एक दूसरे के विरोधी हैं पर फिर भी वे दोनों इंसान की खिदमत में लगे हैं, क्योंकि दिन हमें हमारी गतिविधि करने में सहयता देता है और रात क...
