The firm believe in the Lord of the Universe and constant consciousness of worshipping Him alone is called Thaqwa. The technical word meaning of Thaqwa is to be careful or to be protected. The belief that anything that Allah, Lord and Owner of this world and the hereafter, mandated us to do is beneficial to mankind and that which is forbidden is always harmful is known as Thaqwa in Islam. The Holy Qur’an introduces to mankind with the following verses: “This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)).” (2:2) The Qur’an also teaches us living with thaqwa implies worshipping our Lord: “O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqoon” (2:21)  Be first to comment this article |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 85

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
1. Have you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant? (The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Kabah at Makkah).
2. Did He not make their plot go astray?
3. And sent against them birds, in flocks,
4. Striking them with stones of Sijjeel.
5. And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle) - The Holy Quran, Chapter 105, Surathul Feel (Chapter of Elephant) In Yemen, there once lived a king named Abrahah under the Nejjashi (Negus) empire of Abyssinia. Abrahah wanted to please Negus and so for that he built a huge place of worship for the Christians. He wanted the attention of the crowd going to Mecca for Hajj and had plans to attract them to this new place of worship.

The best Greeting there could ever be.
Did you wake up this morning and say "As-Salaamu Alaikum" to your spouse or your child? Or did you greet them with a "Good Morning" or even a casual "hi"?
Have we been teaching our children the importance of greeting each other with salaam? Or when we see them off to school, do we send them off with a 'bye', instead of "As-Salaamu Alaikum", the dua for peace and blessings? For some of us, this may seem a minor issue. Or it may even be a'progressive' issue. But, in our haste to 'adapt', we forget that saying "As-Salaamu Alaikum" is the best greeting there could ever be.
This was the practice and teaching of Prophet Muhammad (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam), the best example for mankind. And it was Allaah Himself that prescribed the manner of greeting among Muslims as "As-Salaamu Alaikum" [not 'salaams' or 'good morning' or 'hey' or 'hi' or whatever] "When those who believe in Our Ayaat (proofs, verses, signs, etc.) come to you, say: "Salaamun Alaikum" (peace be on you)....." (Surah al-An'aam:54) Be first to comment this article | Quote this article on your site | Views: 162 |
