When I woke up this morning I asked myself:
“What are some of the secrets of success in life?”
I found the answer right there in my very room:
The fan said : Be cool. The roof said : Aim high. The window said : See the world. The clock said : Every minute is precious. The mirror said : Reflect before you act. The door said : Push hard for...

When you listen to music, the love songs make you feel lonely, make you yearn for love and crave affection.
When you read Quran, you feel whole, you’re not seeking love because you’ve found it all around you, you’ve found it inside you, and you’re not craving anyone’s affection because you only want to be accepted by One.

The Dunya is like a prison
It is mentioned that when al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr was the chief justice (of Egypt), one day he was passing through the market with a caravan, looking well groomed. So a Jew who was selling hot oil, looking very disheveled and dirty because of the oil, accosted him by grabbing the reins of his mule saying,
Jew:
“Yaa Shaykhul-Islaam, you claim that your prophet said that the dunyaa is a prison for the mu’min and a jannah for the kaafir; so what type of prison are you in and what type of jannah am I in?“
Ibn Hajr:
“Regarding what Allah has prepared for me in the hereafter from its bliss, then it is as if I am in prison, and with regards to what Allah has prepared for you in the hereafter from its punishment, then it is as if you are in jannah.”
At which point the Jew became a Muslim.

There is no better feeling than the goosebumps you get when you open the Quran and the first verse you read is an answer to a trial you are currently facing.
“كثر الكلام ببوز بعضه
The more you speak, the likelier you are to say the wrong...”

There once was a little boy called Hassan who lived in a small village in Pakistan. Hassan’s family were poor and they just about had enough to make ends meet. To help the family Hassan used to sell baskets, rope and other hand-made items from door-to-door. The money not only helped his family but also paid his way through school. On one of the many hot days in the village,...
