When Selfishness I regret, When immorality I reject!!
Salam Alaikum everyone. May you all be in the best state of health and faith.

For a very long time I havent updated my blog. Stupid me, i didnt know my blog was actually read by so many people.
My post about Prof. Amr Khaled being 6th in the Top 20 Intellectuals list reached the view number of above 5300. Astonishing indeed :)
So I gotta thank you all for your support, love, and continuos request to update the blog.

Not that I dont love you guys, I just have been pretty selfish in the past time for quite so long. Some incidents of my life taught me, Self love is a mistake, Self confidence is must.

And there happens to be a huge difference between the two.
When you are SELF-LOVING, all you see is yourself. Be it you, or be it one of your astounding qualities. You are just on the top of the world. My mother always used to say,"Love of yourself makes you fly at one of the higest points in sky. But when you fall down, you wont ever be able to even stand up again." Sad enough! I have seen many people in my life with this 'disease'. I, personally, dont like self lovers. Because when you discuss something with them, all they can tell about is their ownselves. And..its annoying. Once I got into a dicussion about religion with somebody I thought was supposed to be a wise person. The discussion went awesome. But that person could only give examples from his own life. And that was simply the biggest flaw of the dicussion.

So..I wont be a self lover anymore hehe, Insha ALLAH, and wouldnt dissappoint you with my blog :) 

From now on, Insha ALLAH, I'll update the blog as much as possible. With helpful articles and something from my side too :) Hope you all would forgive me for being absent for....quite a long time.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Fi aman ALLAH

Thank You Mom!!!

A Poem for my mom, THANK YOU MOM

There is a person, a very normal person
But for some, she is extraordinary
Some religions would call her heaven
For me, she is the reason I live or die


When I was young, I only remember one thing
She'd be sitting, standing, lying with me
When I'd cry, when I'd smile, in almost everything
She'd be there, with a smile, always supporting me


From my worst times, to the best days of my life
I can only see her face, when I look back in years
To strengthen my faith, to give me a belief
that i can do something, she was always there


How she'd lie to me that everything is ok
even i could see, the tears in her eyes
To make me feel good, she'd suffer anything
She is the most special, i'd make her realise


She is my mother, who gave me birth
raised me so specially, as if I was a princess
I never felt for once that she could hate
She is the one GOD created to love..


For GOD couldnt be with me everytime,
so to send me HIS proper love
HE made a mother, who'd stand by
with me, no matter I live, no matter I die


Thank You Mom!

Are You An Extremist Too?
Salam Alaikum everyone. May you all be in the best state of health and faith.

As some of you may be aware of the fact that I happen to be an admirer of an Islamic Scholar, Prof. Dr. Khalid Zaheer.

So just going through his website, I found this amazing article, which I thought is worth-sharing :)


Are you an extremist too?

Question:
You said:

“An extremist is a person who believes that only his views are correct while all others are incorrect and he is therefore not prepared to respect and listen to the other views to find out if they could be correct too.”

Are you as a true Muslim ready to accept that Islam is a false religion? If this is you basic belief that Islam is the true religion, will you consider yourself an Extremist too?


Response:

I must admit that it is a good question.

If someone tells me that my religion was false, I would consider such a person to be a bit uncultured, for there were more refined ways of saying the same thing. To begin with, therefore, I may get offended. However, if the person would give some arguments for the reason why he believed my religion was false, I would take those arguments of his claim seriously.

For some time, I have been trying to mention my understanding in my blog-articles on the website and elsewhere too that it was the claim of Islam that it is the religion of God and therefore it was the duty of those who believed in that claim that they should present justifications for their belief. I believe the Qur’an has done exactly that all along.

If a Muslim knew that somebody had raised serious objections against Islam and he condemns that person as someone who was misled without considering the merits of the arguments of those objections, then the Muslim making that claim was most certainly being an irrational person and not behaving according to Qur’anic teachings. The book of God gives the prophet to follow this advice: “Tell them (the disbelievers) that (if they think that there claim that Torah and Qur’an weren’t from God was correct) then they should bring forth a book from God which is straighter than these two books, I (the prophet) shall follow it, if you are really truthful.” (28:49)

My answer to the question therefore is that if a Muslim rejects the criticism against Islam without looking into the arguments of those criticisms, he is not following the correct Islamic approach. However, if the Muslim accuses the other person of not having reasons to hold his views without looking into the merit of those views, then he is likely to be an extremist. I do admit that all people displaying that behaviour may not be extremists. Some of them may still have moderate tendencies while dealing with others despite being irrational. However, all extremists must behave irrationally in religious debates or else they cannot be extremists.

I thank you for asking this question. I am altering my statement in the blog. The correct statement should be this: “All extremists believe that only their views are correct while the views different from theirs are incorrect and they are therefore not prepared to respect and listen to the other views to find out if they could be correct too.”
