از:عبدالحفیظ خان ندوی علم کی اہمیت و افادیت سے کسی کو انکار نہیں ،انسانی زندگی کا تعلیم سے ایک خاص رشتہ ہے گویا یہ ایک ایسا پل ہے جو ایک انسان کو صحیح انسان بناتا ہے ،تاریخ گواہ ہے کہ وہی قومیں بام عروج پر پہنچی ہیں جنکا تعلیم سے خاص تعلق رہا ہے ، اسلام نے بھی روز اول سے تعلیم کی اہمیت پر زوردیا ہے جس کا اظہار پہلی وحی الہٰی سے ہوتا ہے ،جس کی ابتداء "اقراء "سے ہو ئی ۔ دنیا میں اس وقت دو نظام تعلیم ہیں دینی وعصری ،مسلمانوں کی یہ خاصیت رہی ہے کہ وہ دونوں تعلیم کو حاصل کرنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں ،بعض

Being the month where the rewards of any act of worship and charity are multiplied, Ramadan is a time Muslims look forward to, as we strive to perform more ibadah and good deeds. Unfortunately, it is also when we can easily get distracted, as we tend to devote too much of our time to food, preparing meals for suhoor and iftar.  I know, I know, we’re hungry, we’re tired, aren’t we allowed to at least enjoy a well-prepared, home-cooked meal after a day’s fast? Of course! However, do keep in

Biological diversity, or the shorter term "biodiversity," means the variety of life forms like human beings, animals of all sorts and plants of different categories in a region or on the globe. Any harm to biodiversity may increase diseases on Earth or in other words less of biodiversity means more of infections. Protecting this diversity on Earth is the prime duty of all Muslims. This ecological ethics is one of the moral principles of Islam, based on Quranic Injunctions (Verses) and Prophet

کرناٹکا اردو اکیڈمی ریاست میں اردو زبان کی ترقی اور اردو زبان سے جڑے ہوئے ادیب ،شعراء، صحافی اور تعلیمی شعبوں کی ترجمان ہے اور یہ ریاستی حکومت کے ماتحت کام کرنے والی ایک اعلیٰ اکیڈمی ہے۔اس اکیڈمی کے تحت کام کرنے کیلئے کئی مواقع دستیاب ہے لیکن نہ جانے کیوں اس اکیڈمی کی چیرمین فوزیہ چودھری اردو اکیڈمی کو فوکس کرنے سے گریز کررہی ہیں۔قریب ایک سال سے وہ اس اکیڈمی کی چیرمین کی حیثیت سے خدمات انجام دے رہی ہیں لیکن اب تک سوائے ایک مشاعرے اور صحافیوں کے سیمنار کے سواء اور کوئی قابل ذکر کام نہیں ہو اہے جو

We are all aware that the marital relationship is regarded as extremely important in Islam. In addition to fulfilling half our deen, marriage is a safeguard, a place to find peace, and also a strongly recommended sunnah. Our Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Marriage is part of my sunnah, and whoever does not follow my sunnah has nothing to do with me.” [Ibn Majah]1 But why is it that so many Muslims are dissatisfied with this

Effective communication helps us better understand a person or situation and enables us to resolve differences, build trust and respect, and create environments where creative ideas, problem solving, affection, and caring can flourish. As simple as communication seems, much of what we try to communicate to others—and what others try to communicate to us—gets misunderstood, which can cause conflict and frustration in personal and professional relationships. By learning these effective communicati

Ramadan is coming up and Alhamdullillah that we are alive to begin preparing for it. Coming up is another chance to earn Allah’s  mercy, seek forgiveness for our sins and gather all the barakah that we possibly can. Alhamdullillah!Unfortunately, I missed fasting during Ramadan last year; I was too sick to even attempt to keep fasts. I was undergoing chemotherapy and my last session was a day before Eid. But the truth is that these fasts are not the only ones I have missed in my life. Th

Exams are just around the corner for many students. Many of us have a number of panic attacks around this time of year, every year. The guilt of procrastination and piles of books that have yet to be read looms over us. Memories of ploughing through hours of dreary revision sessions are often hidden away somewhere in the back of our minds. While we may lose confidence in our abilities and question if we can even go through with exams, it is important to remind ourselves of Allah’s  words in S

1) One theory is 'Triangle of life' A controversial theory which was given by Doug Copp. According to this theory objects like sofa, desk and other furniture get crushed when a roof collapses and a void (often triangular in a shape) is created around it. That's a safe place to seek cover, ideally in a foetal position. 2) When you are in a multi-storied building Lie down in a foetal position next to a bed sofa or a bulky object. 3) When on the road Pull your car to

Allah tells how His Messenger and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will say: “O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Quran.” The full verse of Surah Furqan is as follows: ’And the Messenger will say: “O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur’an.”’  Surah Furqan (Verse 30) The Arabic word ‘mahjur’ is capable of several meanings. As such, the sentence may mean:” “these people did not regard the Quran as worthy of their consideration: they neither accepted it nor followed it”; or

Today’s post is about commuting ProductiveMuslim style! ;) How you can make the most of those long hours on the road so that they truly add value to your life (and afterlife) instead of subtracting from it. Now this all depends on which commuting vehicle you’re using (and trust me, I’ve used them all). Below is a breakdown of what you can do in each type of commuting vehicle. But before we get into that, a few prerequisites: 1. When you leave your house, remember the dua for leaving the hous

I hate routine. Except when it comes to morning routines :) That’s something I try and stick to! ;) There’s something about starting your day on a number of pre-planned actions that really set your day straight. Below I describe the ‘ideal’ ProductiveMuslim morning routine. (Note: I assume that Fajr Athan is at 5.00am and that work starts at 8am, feel free to ‘adjust’ the routine below to suit your timetable inshaAllah) 4.00AM – 5.00AM: 5 Essential Actions 1. Wake up! Perhaps the first and

If you want to up your protein intake, bulk up on all essential vitamins (except Vitamin C) and amino acids, then there's nothing better than eggs. So you can forget the old warning that suggests you can't eat more than three or four eggs a week because they are high on cholesterol. Innumerable studies and experts have confirmed that 'the cholesterol we eat has little or no effect on blood cholesterol levels, and that we actually need cholesterol to build cell membranes, digest fats and make hor

We communicate with people on a daily basis, and what’s better than learning some important types of etiquette that could improve our daily interactions! I personally worked as an elementary school teacher in Sharjah for a period of time. After Allah  blessed me with my third child, I couldn’t get back to work and I didn’t miss the work environment much except for a few wonderful things that used to happen. I reminisced all those small, lovely things and especially remembered the peace greetings

An old friend of mine once said to me, “There’s a myth that’s going around these days, the myth says: If you can manage your time, you can do anything!”. Four years from hearing this advice, I don’t believe it’s a myth anymore. We all hear about time management and it’s importance, and people shout at us from time to time that we should time manage properly, but rarely do we hear a concise methodology of how to time manage! In order to understand how to time manage, you firstly need to und

You should aim to develop the following 7 Spiritually Productive activities into habits so that you can hopefully continue benefitting from them throughout your life. I consider these activities as the spiritual ‘bread and butter’ of any ProductiveMuslim. To develop them as habits is the essence of embarking on your journey towards the love of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) and constantly increasing in your eman, inshaAllah: 1) Pray the Sunnah Prayers before and/or after Prayer: I know it’s easie

ازافادات: حضرت مولانا مفتی ابوالقاسم صاحب نعمانی دامت برکاتہم مہتمم دارالعلوم دارالعلوم دیوبند ترتیب: محمد اویس رشادی الحمد للہ رب العالمین والصلوۃ والسلام علی رسولہ النبی الکریم اما بعد: عن عبد اللہ بن عباسؓ کنت ردف النبی ؐ فقال یا غلام! احفظ اللہ یحفظک احفظ اللہ تجدہ تجاھک فاذا سألت فسأل اللہ واذا استعنت فاستعن باللہ واعلم ان الامۃ لو اجتمعت علی ان ینفعوک بشئی لم ینفعوک بشئی الا ما کتب اللہ لک ولو اجتمعت علی ان یضروک بشئی لم یضروک بشئی الا قد کتب اللہ علیک رفعت الاقلام وجفت الصحف۔ (ترمذی)

By Shahul Hameed The prostration in prayer symbolizes the worshipper's total and unconditional submission to God Almighty. Islam signifies the subjection of all activities in all walks of life to the Law of God Almighty, and leaving nothing to the whims and fancies of anyone else. God has commanded the believers to declare: {Truly, my prayer, my service of sacrifice, my life, and my death, are (all) for Allah (God), the Cherisher of the Worlds.} (Quran6:162) This means that
