 The life of this world is nothing but futility and play. Verily, the Abode of
the Akhirah most certainly is the original life.Every person will taste death. Thereafter will you all be returned to Us. Those who have Imaan and practise righteous deeds, most certainly. We shall grant them lofty palaces beneath which flow rivers; therein will they dwell forever. Indeed, wonderful is the reward of those who act virtuously. (Qur'aan: Surah Ankaboot) According to the Qur'aan Majeed the true life, the original life, the actual life is in Jannat in the Akhirah (Hereafter). In relation to the Abode of the Akhirah, the Qur'aan describes this transitory and defective material world as an entity of play and futility. In relation to the Akhirah there is no reality in this ephemeral existence for which the Mu'mineen have never been created. Mu'mineen, according to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), have been created for the everlasting life of bliss, comfort, purity and happiness in the Akhirah, hence Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) declared: "The world has been created for you, but you have been created for the Akhirah".

 Our eternally blessed and exalted Prophet (saws} was having a midday nap in the
residence of Umme Haram, the aunt of his companion Anas (ra). She was also the
prophet's foster sister. The Prophet (saws), during the course of sleep woke
up with a pleasant smile on his ever-shining face. Umme Haram asked the Prophet, "'What
made him smile." The Holy Prophet (saws), said, "Thai he had a vision
Of his followers who would sail across the violent waves of the sea for Jihad
like kings seated on their thrones." Umme Haram solicited the Prophet (Saws)}
to pray that she had the honor to be with them. The Holy Messenger of Allah (saws)
prayed accordingly and slumbered again. After some time he got up again with
a similar delightful smile. Umme Haram was naturally tempted to know about the
new vision. The Holy Prophet (saws) said, "I have been informed in my dream
that the first army to siege the city of Constantinople shall be blessed with
Divine forgiveness. Umme Haram. ever keen for such blessings, requested the Prophet
(saws) again to pray that she too had the privilege of their association but
this time her request was declined.

 At a time when Muslim names are stinking in corruption and scandals, it is time for serious reflection … When a Muslim loses direction and purpose in life, then all he lives for is the short-lived enjoyment of this short life. When a Muslim lives just to own and drive an expensive car like a friend of his does, when he lives just to have a fabulous house like the neighbours have, when he lives just to jetset around the world like fellow businessmen, when he lives just to have fun, entertainment, enjoyment, leisure and pleasure like others do, then he is walking on a dangerous road. He begins to makes 'Tawaaf' of material wealth … The day he begins to think in this way, the day these become important objects in his life, when he begins to makes 'Tawaaf' of these things, that come what may, he feels he must have these things no matter how, he MUST have it. From that day onwards, the lines separating Halaal and Haraam become blurred for him! Trying to differentiate between right and wrong, honesty and corruption becomes meaningless for him because these desired and coveted things HAVE to be achieved no matter how! This is greed in its raw and ugly form – the desire to have at any cost. Greed drives this greedy man. He sets out with a dirty intention, waiting for any opportunity to grab what he can. Sadly, this is the way many Muslims have become these days. (Posted by: DoiAdmins - on Saturday, November 18, 2006 - 05:27 PM - 13767 Reads)
 As soon as the children cross the age of childhood and reach adolescence, the
parent's responsibilities and anxieties take a new turn. The parents of fully
grown up sons start dreaming of a house full of happiness, as their sons will
bring in daughter-in-laws; and, in the case of daughters, they become worried
and perplexed at the prospect of their daughter to belong to another household
for ever, and of finding a good husband to look after her just as they had done.
The marriage of children by their parents is a social, legal responsibility on
the shoulders of the parents, as well as their natural desire.
Islam strongly advises to arrange the marriage of eligible and responsible children as soon as a suitable match is found for them. Ages may vary according to place, times and climes. The only reason for the delaying of marriage for a normal and healthy child, should be that a suitable match is not found or the child is not yet capable of supporting a family. Unnecessary delay in this matter and negligence in a matter as important as this, can have serious social problems and irrepairable damage to the iman faith and corruption of dignity of that child and his entire family.

WEDDING OF FAATIMAH (RADHIYALLAAHU ANHA)
Faatimah (Radhiallaahu Anha) is the youngest daughter of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Out of all the children, he was the most beloved to him. He said, 'The Queen of the ladies in Jannat is Faatimah.' He also said, 'Faatimah is part of my body. Whoever grieves her, grieves me.' When Faatimah (Radhiallaahu Anha) reached the age of fifteen, proposals for her marriage began to come from high and responsible families. But the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) remained irresponsive. Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu), who was 21 at the time, says: It occurred to me that I should go and make a formal proposal, but then I thought, 'How could this be accomplished, for I possess nothing.' At last, encouraged by the Prophet's kindness, I went to him and expressed my intention to marry Faatima (Radhiyallaahu Anha). The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was extremely pleased and asked, 'Ali! Do you possess anything to give her in Mahr?' I replied, 'Apart from a horse and an armour I possess nothing.' |
