Immediate Boss...not a loss

In my childhood, I used to fear my father before making any mischief. When I grew up the same fear appeared in the form of my teacher. Now days, this fear is the possession of my manager.
The important thing to note here is that; I feared from my father rather than my grandfather then I feared from my teacher rather than the principal of the school and now, I fear from my manager rather than the managing director of my company.

Although the MD of my company, the principal of the school and my grandfather have more authorities, yet I always felt fear from my “immediate bosses”. The reason behind is that we always take the pressure of our immediate boss, to whom we are answerable. The fear of “ultimate boss” remains somewhere in the back store of our mind; it is there, but not effecting our actions.

What we need to do being a Muslim is to realize that Allah is not only our Ultimate Boss; but is also our Immediate Boss and so we have to fear Him all the time.

Which Religion?

It is a matter of common sense that only one President is suitable on a nation for a specific period of time. There cannot be more than one president.

Similarly, there is only one principal or ordering authority of any school at a time. More than one principal will result in system collapse.

Same is the case with religion. We have to check all the religions to find out which one of them speaks about the commanding authority of Only One GOD.

And also which shows us the properties and qualities of a True Organizer, Who can organize the whole universe and all beyond it.

Creator cannot be like His creations; neither physically and mentally nor habitually and situationally. He must be the Most Powerful and the Most Sensible of all. Only the teachings of that religion must be accepted.

"This is the Book (Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who fear Allah (abstain from all which He has forbidden)." (Quran;Ch-41:V-53)

"Soon We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?" (Quran; Ch-41: V-53)

Why Religion?

Religion means the rules, regulations and ethics to follow in this life which will take us to glory in the Hereafter.

The Day of Judgment is meant for the evaluation of our deeds, whether good or bad, and the decision to send us in the Heaven or the Hell.

The religion comes from the Almighty GOD, the One and Only, and compels us to obey His orders and worship Him in the way He wants.

Any Government Law is not sufficient at all to satisfy and grant justice to every human being. Because, only the Creator knows the best, how to deal with His creations, how His creations will react and how they will deviate from His teachings.

"Verily, in the creation of heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding." (Quran; Ch-3:V-190)

"Soon We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?" (Quran; Ch-41: V-53)

Does GOD Exist?

Today Science tells us that everything has an origin or source. But there must be Someone who does not belong to any source. Who is the Originator of all origins!

This Originator is the GOD; One and Only, neither born nor created; But the Creator of all, the Strongest of all, the Lord of entire universe and beyond all of it.
The One Who has told us all the laws and facts 1400 years ago, that science is telling us today.

Those who think that there is no GOD are actually misguided by someone whom they have consulted about GOD.

Or they do not believe in GOD because they might have seen the worshipers of GOD indulged in bad habits; which is, of course, not enough to justify the non-existence of the Almighty.

"It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for some) and as a hope (for others). And it is He Who brings up (originates) the clouds, heavy (with water)." (Quran; Ch-13: V-12)

"Soon We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?" (Quran; Ch-41: V-53)

"...So, whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for his own self; and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only to his (own) loss...." (Quran; Ch-39: V-41)

Sorry for Inconvenience

Once I was in a strange area looking for someone to talk with. There were few houses in that street. I knocked at each door but there was no response from inside. I kept on knocking again and again but disappointed. It became sure to me that either there was no one inside or even if there was, he/she was not interested in opening the door on my call. So I finally decided to try some other door. Isn’t it logical?

I know that I have been mailing to you great people since last year and amongst all of you there are many who are totally strangers to me, as I am to them. So I realized that I must have been annoying, a lot from you, with these messages and I really feel regretful of myself for that. Please forgive me and accept my apologies if I hurt anyone of you or your feelings. My intention was never to do so. I was just trying to somehow share with you the change came in my life since last year. Anyways, who am I to interrupt between the relation of you and Allah? Who am I to guide you about your religion? I never tried to make you change your life, what I struggled for was to make you realize the importance of reading and understanding the Quran and that’s all. Even then I apologies for each and every bad feeling came into your heart about my intentions.

What I tried to remind you (only remind, not force or compel), was;

“Is it not Allah, the Lord of all lords?” (Ch-94, V-8)

And when Allah says that,

“O you who believe! Enter into Islam completely (whole heartily) and don’t follow the footsteps of Satin, surely he is your open enemy” (Ch-2; V-208)

Then why we become doubtful about it?

I have been very grateful to all of you for letting “in” my mails in your inbox and will remain grateful for that. Please reply this mail privately if you want me to stop disturbing you with these messages (ofcourse the reply will be dealt confidentially). Who am I to mind or feel bad for doing so? My messages have got no importance at all. The important thing is Quran. If you have got the guidance from it, there is no need of my mails, tell your other friends about Quran and its importance. And I will be grateful not mailing to those who are not interested in reading to them. Please feel free to response

Once again I apologies for annoying anyone of you and I ask forgiveness from Allah for that. For those who don’t want to receive my mails anymore; my final message will be

Please go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best (atleast once).
I am sure Allah will guide us all to the right. Inshahallah.

Message 67 (Dard-e-Disco...the true picture of Muslims today)

An Indian movie directed by a Muslim; Leading role played by a Muslim; Wow! What a progress…..
The major resources of the world are under Muslim power; about 1.5 billion popularity.
One of the largest Muslim organization, “OIC” has no respect in the world.
About 20 lakh Muslims perform Hajj every year, but, allow me to write that the more we are praying, the more we are going towards destruction… Why?

The reason is we (as a whole Muslim society) are under Dard-e-Disco….sleeping in the arms of our enemies.

Please, go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.

Three great comments about Music and their replies

1- Music is a deep ocean, no matter how deep you go… You will never able to reach its bottom.

Reply: Very true…The life is only once in this world…So why to waste it for something which you cannot attain. Setting up such goals in life which are not attainable and then struggling for them is mere foolishness. We should learn to walk over this ocean of music.

2- Music the food of soul. It gives relaxation to our soul.

Reply: It goes totally against advanced science. Science tells us that relaxation is attached with our mind, not soul. The logic is that, if music relaxed our soul, then everyone will have to be relaxed with the same music. But actually we see that some are relaxed with rock, some with hip-hop and others are relaxed with only classical music.

3- Ustad Baray Gulam Ali (one of the pioneers of Classical Music is Pakistan) once said (few days before his death) that, “I learned and played music for over 50 years and when I felt that now I am getting some understanding of it, my death is approaching.”

Reply: It does not require any reply, as it is a practical example of a legend who is helpless infront the illusion of music. Is our life worth of being wasted for something which can’t even achievable? Isn’t it better to choose that thing which will give us some reward and result?

Criticizing Myself

In 27 years of my life, i hardly found anyone admitting his/her mistake. I hope the same experience you might have in your life. This behavior is not only creating continuous disturbances in the society but also killing the islamic culture and sensitivity.
From now on...i am starting a new kind of practice;"Criticizing Myself"..Whenever i will find some time (daily, weekly or monthly), i will write and share my wrong doings ( evil deeds) with my friends and readers. For this, i will have to be very true and honest with myself. For example; i may write that , a beggar approached me today at the signal and i refused him. Or i used bad language with my subordinate due to his mistake...etc.
This practice will not only restrict me to criticize others but will also help me in discouraging this bad habit of mine.
Ofcourse this matter is very personal and totally my own choice. I will like to welcome all of you to join me in this practice and share any new Lively Ideas for the understanding and implementation of our religion.
UNDERSTANDING IS IMPLEMENTING. (without implementation, there is no understanding)
This is just to realize and admit my mistake. I will pray to Allah for the foregiveness of my mistakes with the guidance and strenght for not repeating them again. Ofcourse only Allah can guide me towards right. hope to have a positive response from your end and looking forward for your suggestions.

Curtain Raiser

There is a curtain placed in-between every human being and his/her surroundings. Allah has placed this curtain between us and our parents, between us and our friends, between everyone we met anytime and any place. This curtain is the curtain of respect, honesty, humanity, trust, faith, courtesy and gratitude. This is the law of Allah and above all laws. If we obey these laws in USA and break them In Pakistan, it clearly shows that we fear from the government of America; not Allah. So how come we pray Allah for sovereignty? What kind of worship we do? Can anyone explain it to me, please…

Unless we, being Muslims, won’t realize the reality of this curtain and won’t take care about it seriously; we will never achieve anything: neither in this world nor in the Hereafter. Because only worship is not the solution; worship with righteous deeds makes the right blend for success.

REMEMBER: Her Fard Hay Milat k Mukadar Ka Sitara!

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.

Heading Towards Destruction

It is not suitable to create a biased environment within a home. It will result in the destruction of love and trust links between relations. So,

Let us all stop labeling each other and ourselves other then being a Muslim.

Being a human being, all of us have certain negative and positive habits. What we take as positive may probably appear as negative to others. Therefore we cannot claim to be on the right always. So,

Let us all look for positive behaviors and attitudes of others and neglect the negative ones.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

(How To) Deal With Differences

Haier is the world’s second largest company in home appliances. It is a Chinese company having about 10,000 employees and produces almost 5,000 refrigerators daily. My experience and common sense does not allow me to believe that all 10,000 employees will have same point of view in all matters of life. But yes, they do have a common purpose (goal), that is progress of their organization and they strive for it keeping behind all their individual differences. They say that differences can be discussed during lunch break, but for the rest of the time we must work for the same goal. This is one of the major reasons for the success and progress of, not only China, but all other parts of the world too.

We as Hereditary Muslims take our religion for granted and keep on arguing on useless matters in a useless manner. We keep on fighting with each other and end up only with maligning Islam. There are a lot of issues for which we have to use our energies and time, e.g, hundreds of children die because of hunger (and those who don’t die are actually more harmful for the society because of extreme poverty), patients are helpless in hospitals, women are used as toys etc etc etc. All these issues are not jokes and a harsh reality which we have to face. What are we doing to solve these problems? We just keep on increasing our own bank balance and status without thinking even once for our fellow Muslims in pain and disaster. Is this what we are for? Is this Islam? Are we Muslims? Is this what we call a Muslim? Any sensible stranger will have to say that if this is the character of a Muslim (to neglect his fellow men and just think of himself), then Muslims must be very ruthless and mean people.

Kindly stop wasting energies on invain matters. Let us atleast try to tolrate others with their point of views and be united, as far as our goal is same, that is, Pleasure of Allah (SWT). Let us practice Peace, Patience and Persistence ( in worshiping Allah and righteous deeds), and make this world a happy, respectful place for our today and future. I will like to end the topic with the Quranic verse (which is self-explanatory) and I am sorry for any inconvenience or offend caused to anyone from my words. The attention of the message is only to spread the message of Unity amongst all Muslims, which is the only solution left.

“…Likewise we explain verses in detail for those who have understanding.”
(Ch-7;V-32)

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure that Allah will guide us all inshahallah in the right way. Amin

Unity is the only Human Power

It is shameful once again to count the number of Eids. Unless there is a unity amongst all Muslim sects, it will not be possible to save Islam from such jokes. And it is actually saving our ownselves from Hell Fire. So be united for the sake of Islam and forget all the differences as far as our goal is "The Pleasure of Allah". Be united and be a good Muslim.

Planimeter…The Best Muslim

Planimeter is a mechanical device to measure the area of any irregular surface. It consists of a needle and a screen which shows the result. In order to calculate the area of an irregular drawing, you just need to move the needle exactly over the lines of that drawing and it will show the result. The most important precaution is to be very careful while tracing the needle of Planimeter over the lines, because any little distortion will make the result wrong.

This is what we Muslims call as “Serat-e-Mustaqeem” or “Taqwa”, that is, to follow the right path strictly and carefully, because any distortion will end up in wrong results.

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure that Allah will guide us all inshahallah in the right way. Amin

"Herditary Muslims"...

We Muslims are very criticizing and protesting people (especially Pakistani Hereditary Muslims). We never let go any wrong act of anyone ignored; whilst we might me doing the same wrong act. It is very difficult for us to satisfy ourselves. We always strive for more and more, better and better (which is not wrong at all, but we have to admit that still we are at the loser’s end. It means that there is something wrong in either our lust for betterment, or the way of striving; otherwise, those who strive for the best are the best amongst the nations). And we love to complaint and protest. We are always looking to collect sympathy (even after being a millionaire) or extra fame (even after sleeping all the time).

It is simple that due to our laziness we don’t go for car repair regularly and when during going to an important meeting, when the car stops in the middle of the way; we used to curse the car and our luck. The same behavior of humans like us is described by Allah:

“…And verily, when We cause man to taste of mercy from Us, he rejoices thereat; but when some ill befalls them because of the deeds which their hands have sent forth, then verily, man (becomes) ingrate!” (Ch-42; V-48)

The Leaf of Belief

If we dip a small piece of paper into a glass of water, the paper will absorb some quantity of liquid in it. If we dip a small of piece of leather in the same water, the amount of liquid absorb by it will be different. Litmus paper (used for acid base test) will also absorb only some quantity of water. Now if we dip a piece of tissue in the water, it will become all damped.
Same is the case with belief. It will be absorbed in us according to our own wish and desire. Unless we won’t absorb belief in Allah like a tissue absorbs water; we will never be able to fulfill His commandments, no matter how hard we try.

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure that Allah will guide us all inshahallah in the right way. Amin

Human Body ON SALE!!

(These are only the estimated prices which may be very wrong, but they are just quoted to have an estimated idea of our importance).

Teeth: 100,000 each X 32 = 3200, 000/- rupees

Heart: 500, 0000 rupees

Liver: 10, 00,000 rupees

Brain: 50,00000 rupees

Legs, hands, nails, veins, knees……..hairs

Respiratory System, Digestive System etc.

Valves, tubes, nerves, ear drum, filters etc. ……

The list will go on and go on. If we add up all of them, the total price of our body will be somewhat between 10000000000 rupees approximately. And suppose unfortunately our child is kidnapped or killed, we have to pay a priceless amount for the whole of our life. So we are not any priceless or cheap thing. We all are (in our ownselves) very precious and important.

Even then if we realize that what we do? We still cry all the time about low wages. We still try to earn money through unfair means. We still find ways of escaping from donations and Zakat etc. It is very rightly mentioned in Holy Quran:

“You have sold blessings (Haq; Heavenly Prize) at a very low rate”.

Some of us have sold it for one million, some with one billion and others with mere few thousands and hundreds.
Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure that Allah will guide us all inshahallah in the right way. Amin

To Whom It May Concern!

Zakat; a duty we must not forgive. Few general points are added as a reminder.

1- Don’t wait uptil the last of Ramadan, give it as soon as possible.
2- It is not prohibited if you announce your zakat. Since it is a Farz and Faraiz can be showed off. In case of Nawafils (donations etc), showing off is wrong. So do tell others about your zakat to motivate and encourage them.
3- Don’t waste time in investigations. It is your right to investigate, but don’t be too much of James Bond. Allah will inshahallah reward your intention.
4- Don’t look upon the justifications in shortening the due amount of zakat. It is 2.5 % on your savings. That is you have to multiply 0.025 with your amount.
5- If you wont give the right amount, whatever will happen to you on the Judgment Day is one thing, but dear ones; look around you. Haven’t you seen misery and you never found any child begging for food or doing labor?
Don’t think of what people do, give your due and accurate amount to help society; a Muslim Society.

The Message of All Messages

A friend of mine was abusing (using bad words for) my father infront of me. My father was also listening to him. My father was expecting some reaction from me (either warm or cold) which was also expected by almost everybody around three of us. Contradictory to that, I responded with a mere gentle smile and kept listening to him patiently. After finding me so calm and quiet, he started abusing my father in a much louder voice. As a result of his efforts and my silence, people around us also took him to be on the right and started abusing my father. I was still quiet. The moment we (me and my father) returned home and told the story, everyone was mad at me that why I didn’t show any reaction. My father was also annoyed from my strange behavior. My brother said, “You should have broken the neck of your friend or you should have called me on the spot to do the job”. Well my only reply to them was, “I was showing patience”.

Is there anyone alive in the world more patient than me? Can anyone show the amount of patience I did? OR DO YOU THINK THIS IS A HIGHLY IRRESPNONSIBLE, FOOLISH AND IDIOTIC THING I DID WHICH I LABEL TO BE AS PATIENCE???

The biggest abuse anyone can give to our Creator, Allah (SWT) is to say that, “Allah has given birth to a son.” Or “There is no Allah”. Or “There are many Gods”. We know that for the whole 24 hours, 7 days a week; we live amongst such people who abuse Allah. What we do in return? Show our patience? Will Allah be pleased with this sort of patience? Ofcourse I am not saying to go and kill them or fight with them, but do we atleast open our mouth once infront of them, when they abuse our Creator? Do we??? No. Never, we never open our mouth to atleast say them, “Stop brother, you are abusing my Creator”. We never do so. Then we say, “We love Allah”. How come? How can you love someone and keep quiet while someone else is abusing your beloved infront of you???

Telling other Muslims about the truth of Islam is very good and essential. We must try to memorize our Muslim brothers, the do’s and don’ts of our religion. But we must also struggle to shut the mouth of such disbelievers. We must argue with them and reason with them in the manners described in Quran. Ofcourse we can’t force them or can’t change their way of thinking for sure, but we must try our level best to do so. It is Farz (just like other Faraiz) on us to spread the truth especially to those who don’t altogether know about it. On the Day of Judgment, according to Quran, they will hold us responsible for their disbelief.

What we are doing is just fighting with each other’s point of views, creating sects, going back and back, becoming and behaving like losers. And on top of all, not understanding and trying to correct our mistakes. What we should do is to leave the differences in point of views aside, become one “Muslim Ummah” and fight with unbelievers together; and prove them that Muslims are one unity with one goal and one purpose (pleasure of Allah), and they are the strongest power in the world, because what they believe is nothing but ALL TRUTH.
(Please think about it seriously. Don’t consider yourself just as any forgranted hereditary Muslim, you have a duty to fulfill. There is a lot to do and we have done nothing).

Cutting Edge Strategy

There are two lives of human beings;

1-life before death
2-life after death

We have many organizations working for human benefits of life before death (social workers) and they are very good.On the other hand, there are many organizations working for human benefits of life after death (islamic gourps) which is also very good.

What we lack is a type of organization working on the combination of both ways. only social work cannot help in establishing a true muslim society..on the otherhand saving humans from hell fire is comparatively more important and good..but for making a peaceful and muslim lover society, this alone is also not a practical solution.

suppose there is a poor man fighting for one time food for his family. how can we expact him to follow islam properly and propagate it. it will be very very rare. such cases are used by non-muslims as their prey. they support such people financially and win over their hearts. as a result people follow them and their religion.
we must also think upon such techniques and do some social work combined with the teachings of islam to make a muslim famous society and to make a better image of muslims. otherwise people will not stop arguing that molveess only say by words,practically they do nothing.

e.g, Shaukat Khanum is doing an excellent job, but how nice it will be if they start preaching islam to their patients,,to save them even after their death. and how nice it will be for any islamic organization to make a hospital and fire up the hearts of poor and needy with the love of islam.
Hence, we have to combine both these techniques (social work with islamic teachings) to spread islam and make a good muslim society examplary for the world.

Anti-Sect Revolution

ISL (Islamic System of Living)

Reason Behind Name: The purpose of Quran is not only to worship Allah but also to develop a complete society of peace and unity in the name of Islam. It does not only prohibit certain habits but it also deals with the practical and social issues of humanity. So Islam is not only a religion but a complete “system of living”.

Vision: “Unity amongst Muslims”
Mission: “To spread the message of Islam. To start an Anti-Sect Revolution which will bring all the Muslim organizations and institutions under one label of “MUSLIM.”
Goal: “Pleasure of Allah”
Strategy: “Peace, Patience and Persistence (in worship of Allah and righteous deeds)”.

Haier is the world’s second largest company in home appliances. It is a Chinese company having about 10,000 employees and produces almost 5,000 refrigerators daily. My experience and common sense does not allow me to believe that all 10,000 employees will have same point of view in all matters of life. But yes, they do have a common purpose (goal) and they strive for it keeping behind all their individual differences. They say that differences can be discussed during lunch break, but for the rest of the time we must work for the same goal. This is one of the major reasons for the success and progress of, not only China, but other parts of the world too.

We play so many games in which team spirit and unity are basic requirements. We just use these techniques to win matches. After winning we take our medals proudly and go home leaving behind the same spirit and unity we require in our lives. Such games include football, hockey, cricket, volleyball etc.

Having differences in views is very natural and humanly. But they must not be made a hurdle between our goals. All of us Muslims have the same goal of pleasing Allah by submitting our wills to Him. So we must be united as a “Muslim” regardless of our contradicting point of views. You might have noticed that in mosques while offering Nawafils and Sunats, some pray faster than the others and so there is a mix up of praying style reflecting no unity. On the other hand, while offering Furz, all Muslims are synchronized in their motions reflecting unity. In Quran too, there are several messages of unity, and creating sects is strictly prohibited.

The prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) about the number of sects has become true and we have a large number of sects in Muslims. But according to the prophecy of Quran, a time will come when there will be only “Muslims” left in the world, but it will be a ‘time closer to Hereafter’. Since there are many prophecies of ‘time closer to hereafter’ which are becoming true so may be it is the right time to start uniting and fulfilling this prophecy too. We Muslims have already damaged the image of Islam in the world by creating sects; it is very essential now to think for the betterment of Muslims and inshahallah Allah will also be pleased with our effort. You can join us in our struggle or give us your valuable suggestions and views.

If you join, you will not be asked or forced to do anything for ISL, all you have to do is to follow the right path as shown by Quran & Holy Prophet SAW, and in its light co-operate with one another to develop (and work for) Muslim Unity. Setting aside the small differences and looking at the bigger picture. i.e., "The picture of Islam", use the label “MUSLIM” instead of “sunni”, “shia” or “naqshbundi”. Also you will have to let go the differentiation according to casts; so it will not matter whether you are a syed, sheikh or chaudhary, you will be only a “MUSLIM”. Ofcourse there is no system of check and balance as whatever we do is for Allah and only He will grade our intentions and deeds.

So, JOIN US IN OUR MISSION OF UNITY.

Last Words: It is not the guidance from me, not the guidance from you; it is the guidance from Allah. Allah guides whom He wills.

Be A Killer

Bad Habits could not be finished immediately. There will be exceptions but mostly they take time to leave. Mostly they cannot be avoided instantly.

I remember a scene from one of the movies that murderer placed a pillow on the mouth of sleeping victim and forced him to death. Well there are other methods too depending upon the situation, but the described one, proved to be very quiet and effective.

That’s the way to fight satin; our courage, devotion and dedication will become our force. Now must be true to ourselves and find out ways to get rid of bad habits.

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure Allah will inshahallah guide us all in the right way. Amin.

Shameful Acts

Few days back, I bought a shirt for myself. It was a bit costly than the average. I was very excited about wearing it the first time. Unfortunately, while ironing, it burnt a little. I was stunned and was in a fix that what will happen now. I considered myself as doomed and all my joys and excitement went off suddenly. My mood remained off for the next whole day. I thought of giving it to any needy person for whom that burnt will not matter, but a brand new “costly” unworn shirt; how? The heart was filled with so much regret for that shirt.
I realized in those moments, how difficult it is for me to give a ‘new, relatively costly’ thing in the name of Allah (which is actually for my own benefit).

Most of the times, whenever Quran talks about the orders of giving up life in the fight for truth, It uses the term “ Jan Aur Maal” ( Soul and riches). Talking about the term “Maal” or money, for human beings like me, it is not very easy always to even fulfill this order too. I shared my own example of this shameful act, which clearly shows the weakness of my faith.

Go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best.
I am sure Allah will inshahallah guide us all in the right way. Amin.

All About Doubt

Suppose you have a car, you know how to drive it and you also know your destination, then
· Either will you follow the advices of others about your journey
· Or undertake the journey by yourself.
You will prefer not to do the whole venture by yourself, only when you have some doubts. To clear those doubts you will consult any specialist.

“…So hasten towards all that is good…” (Ch-2; V-148)

“Race with one another in hastening towards forgiveness from your Lord (Allah)…” (Ch-57; V-21)

Assume that you are doing job in an office. You will have to be very strict about your office timings so that you could never miss daily attendance. For making sure about this punctuality you will have to calculate that how much time it takes you to reach your office from home. So you will start your journey with a proper plan and strategy in mind (if you become late). You will follow the same routine for almost all your ‘working life time’.
You know why? Because each time you will follow them (the plan), you will be very sure about them and the consequences they may have. It is in human mind, as proved by science that,

“Whenever we show low performance, it is either because we are not interested, or we have some doubts.”

· We call ourselves Muslim, because Quran told us.
· We call our religion as Islam, because Quran told us.

It shows clearly that we are accepting these two things from Quran without any doubt and that is why none of us can neglect these two realities .i.e. (the word) Islam and (the word) Muslim. So why we get confused about other things Quran told us to do? Either we are not interested in them or we have some doubts? We Muslims believe in Quran and we all can never say that we are not interested in It. So the only thing remains is ‘Doubt’.
Don’t we have time to clear these doubts?

“And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember; then is there anyone who will remember (or receive admonition)?” (Ch-54; V-17)

“Certainly, We have made his (Quran) easy in your tongue, in order that they may remember.” (Ch-44; V-58)
