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.
