Say (O Muhammad Salallahu alayhi wa salam): “Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
(via onepartarab)
He said and I quote, “Don’t even THINK of any guy until he comes to your house with a marriage proposal!”
The fact that this particular brother is madly in love with a girl he can never marry is another story.
Some women fear wearing the hijab; they fear loss of their family, friends, job or their careers. Some fear the threat of violence. Some fear their failure to commit to hijab full time; fear is fear and is real to those who fear.
I was not born in hijab. In fact, I remember when I did not wear hijab. It is not in me to look down on a sister who does not wear hijab. I am no judge and my judgment is not the One that matters.
For me, I know it was Allah’s mercy alone that made it easy for me to hijab; I know that without Allah, it was much easier said than done. If hijab is a struggle for you, seek the aid of The One, Allah. He is the best to smooth your way.
Ya Allah, we are in need of You, and You are not in need of us. Help us to make the best decisions for our own sakes. Grant those who strive to please You, the courage and the strength we need. Ameen.
Salaam
Do you know what Islam is?
It is indeed a religion founded on truth.
It is such a fountain-head of learning that several streams of wisdom
and knowledge flow from it.
It is such a lamp that several lamps will be lit from it.
It is a lofty beacon of light Illuminating the path of Allah.
It is such a set of principles and beliefs that will fully satisfy every seeker of truth and reality.
Know you all that Allah has made Islam, the most sublime path for the attainment of His supreme pleasure and the highest standard of his worship and obedience.
He has favoured it with noble precepts, exalted principles, undoubtable arguments, unchallengeable supremacy and undeniable wisdom.
It is up to you to maintain the eminence and dignity granted to it by the Lord, to follow it sincerely, to do justice to its articles of faith and belief, to obey implicitly its tenets and orders, and to give it the proper place in your lives.

Beautiful Poem-There is no life without Hussain(as) recited By Ali Khalkhali.
There is No Life Without Hussein
By: Sayed Ali Al-Mousawi Al-Khalkhali
There is no life without Hussein,
How can we live without Hussein,
Our holy land is Karbala,
The whole world is within Azaa,
There is no life without Hussein; There is no life without Hussein.
***
Hussein you are, light of my eyes,
And with your name, I start to rise,
And then I start to shed a tear,
For what occurred Hussein my dear.
Hussein before, I go to sleep,
I start to cry, I start to weep,
And then I face your holy shrine,
So you’ll forgive me of my crime.
***
I am ready, to go through pain,
As long as I am with Hussein,
To be with you is all I want,
Hussein Hussein, I’ll always chant.
Hussein I am, now so proud,
To shout your name, to shout aloud,
Hussein your name, is in my heart,
From it your name, shall not depart.
***
From birth to death, I shall insist,
That I love you, I shall persist,
You are my guide, you are the light,
You show me the path, which is right
I’m not afraid, I am not shy,
To shout your name, until I die,
For what I know, is that you are,
The greatest man, the brightest star.
***
Upon the highest, ranks you are,
You are the brightest, brightest star,
Within your ranks, I wish I stood,
But now my life, for you I put.
Upon my heart, your name has set,
Your name I shall, never forget,
No matter how much, they hit,
With your lovers, I want to sit.
***
I hope with you, I can remain,
For your path is, a narrow lane,
For your path is the most straight,
You shall guide us to the right gate.
If my life ever, terminates,
Make sure before, I see Hussein,
For we’ll ask him, to intercede,
For every bad and evil deed.
***
Your holy land, I really miss,
When would I come, to see and kiss,
The golden dome, the golden shrine,
Would there ever, be any time.
When you place me within the grave,
Pour in my mouth Turbat Hussein,
So in the night Hussein arrives,
And takes my soul on the best of rides
Oh world I have one final will,
Upon my grave, to just stand still,
And recite the, salutations,
Upon Hussein, the Salvation
***
There is no life without Hussein,
How can we live without Hussein,
Our holy land is Karbala,
The whole world is within Azaa,
There is no life without Hussein; There is no life without Hussein.
