What is Love?

What is love? I have thought about the real meaning of this. It can be defined in different meaning and people can be loved in different ways. Now, the loves of the youth are very worrisome. They love in the wrong way and try to find the true love. They talked to the phone for over an hour. Some had a date to meet each other. All of that are nonsensical things for me because I always think that Allah has already assigned to us for our life partner.
What is love? For me, I also can define it in different meaning too, Love for my family, especially my parents. They have brought me up since I was born. They have taught me to be in the right path of Allah. They sacrificed everything to me for the sake of Allah and so on. I can’t make something as gratitude except doing a good thing for them and love them very much.
Equally important is love for our Muslim brother. Islam teaches us to love each other. Even they are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, white or black we have to love each other and live together in unity. Allah said “The believers are nothing else than brother [in Islamic religion]. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy” [Al-Hujuraat: 10]. It cannot be stop our relationship and having rift is forbidden.
Love our prophet Muhammad [PBUH], we have to follow what the prophet has told us to do, follow the way the prophet did [Sunnah]. Allah said “Say O Muhammad [PBUH] to mankind “If you really love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Ala Imran:31]. And Salavaat [wishing] him very much is very important too. Allah said “Allah sends His Salat [Graces, Honours, Blessing, Mercy] on the prophet [Muhammad, PBUH], and also His angles [ask Allah to bless and forgive him]. O you who believe! Send tour Salat on [ask Allah to bless] him [Muhammad, PBUH] and [you should] greet [salute] him with the Islamic way of greeting” [Al-Ahzaab: 56]
Finally, loving Allah is the most ultimate aim. We have to listen to Allah, follow what Allah has said, obey Him, spend in the way of Him and sacrifice everything for the sake of Him, because we love Him. When I faced with any barrier and felt disheartened, I always think of Him to ask for His help. Also, when I felt happy, I always thank Him. I have never asked anyone to guide my heart except Allah. I try to remember Allah as much as I can with my heart and tongue while I am sitting, standing, and every movement. Allah said “O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrances” [Al-Ahzaab: 41]
All of these kinds of love are my true and forever love. In Islam, it can never be wrong. It is absolutely amazing if we do that because Allah has prepared for us forgiveness and a great reward.

Take Pride in Islam



In face of the attacks on Islam by the disbelievers, some Muslims turn to the defensive with an inner feeling of defeat as they try to show that the Islamic values are no different from the western ones. If they are told that the Islamic political system is dictatorial, they respond by trying to show it is democratic. If they are told that Islam spread with Jihad, they respond that Muslims fought only to defend themselves when attacked. If they are told that there is a problem with the status of women in Islam, they try to prove that Islam allows polygamy only under strict conditions which most men do not fulfill and hence they conclude it is virtually not allowed! Such apologetic attitudes should be put behind. Islam is a way of life given to us by Allah, it cannot be put on the same level as other man-made ideologies or corrupted revelations. Muslims should have enough confidence in themselves to go on the offensive rather than stay on the defensive like an accused person. When Quraysh accused the Muslims of violating the sanctity of the sacred months on the occasion of the fight between the Muslim brigade of Abdullah bin Jahsh and the disbelievers, Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala revealed: “They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (these are the 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say: ‘Fighting therein is a great transgression but a greater transgression in the Sight of Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to al-Masjid al-Haram (Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and polytheism is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever.” (Qur’an 2:217) This is how the Qur’an argues with the disbelievers. The Qur’an starts by attacking them on their greatest crime: their disbelief in Allah and their association of partners with Him. One should not present a false interpretation of our religion for the purpose of pleasing the disbelievers.
Some Muslims try to hide their Islamic identity for fear of being labeled as “fundamentalist”. Men are shaving their beard and women are trying to make their hijab look like the latest fall fashion. If presented with food or drink that is haram, they say we are full at the moment, or they say we do not like the particular food. Only few say that they cannot eat it because it is unlawful in Islam. This is not the way of the companions of the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, behaved. When the companions accepted Islam, they became proud of it and felt that all other ideologies and ways of life are inferior to what has been revealed to them from above seven heavens.
In the battle between the Muslims and the Persians, Rostom, the leader of the Persian army, asked to negotiate with the Muslims. Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas, the Muslim leader in that battle, sent a group of companions among which was Rabi`e ibn Amir. The Persian leader prepared a magnificent reception in order to impress those “Bedouins” and weaken their position. The Persians asked Rabi`e to enter without his arms. HE refused and entered with his arms and his horse and tied his horse next to Rostom. Rstom asked: “What brings you?” Rabi`e said: “Allah has sent us to convert mankind from the worship of people to the worship of Allah and from the narrowness of this life to its wideness and from the oppression of the religions to the justice of Islam. Allah has sent us to His creatures with His religion. Whoever accepts it, we accept from him and whoever refuses, we fight him until we get the Promise of Allah?” “And what is His Promise?” asked Rostom. “Paradise for those who die and victory for those who survive” answered Rabi`e. Rostom said: “Can you delay this matter until we think about it?” Rabi`e answered: “Yes. How many days you need, one or two?” Rostom said: “More. Until I write to my people.” Rabi`e said: “We can’t. Our Prophet does not authorize us to delay our enemies more than three days. So make up your mind."
This companion came from a society which was materially far behind the Persian empire. Nevertheless he had in himself the seed of Truth and righteousness that allowed him not to be distracted or impressed with the glamour surrounding the Disbelievers. Civilization starts with the correct belief and faith. The material aspects of civilization will come later as a by-product. On the other hand, the disbeliever, no matter how materially advanced he might be, is an uncivilized person and bears in his soul the germs of his own destruction. This is why you should take pride in your religion. This is why you should take pride in Islam.

A Glass of Iced Water



A Glass of Iced Water
       The lonesome glass was standing alone. It didn’t has any friends. Because the glass was sad, the water and the ice jumped into the glass suddenly. The glass became very mirthful that it had friends joining together. The spoon greeted them. The spoon invited them to dance. They danced and clanked enjoyably till they steamed outside the glass and refreshed its heart.

HIJAB

Some Excellent Qualities of Those Who Wear Hijab
Al-Hamdulilah, it is well known that the Muslim woman is a creature of Hayaa (modesty). Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves for our Muslim women to be shielded by their Hijab. It is their outer protection from the decadence of this life. Allah’s Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam has said:
"Verily! Allah is Hayaa (modest, bashful) & Sitteer (i.e. the One Who Shields - from disobedient acts). He loves Hayaa (i.e. He loves for one to practice modesty and bashfulness) and Siter (shielding; covering)." [Collected by Abu Dawud; An-Nissa’ee; Al-Baihaqee; Ahmad; & in Saheeh An-Nissa’ee]
Thus, as possessing Hayaa is a quality that is beloved by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala our sisters must feel comfort in knowing that they have this Hayaa and not the women who show themselves to the world; hence, such women will not be shielded from Allah’s subhanahu wa ta'ala Wrath. Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) said:
"Any woman who takes off her clothes in other than her husband’s home (to show off for unlawful purposes), has broken Allah’s shield upon her." [Collected by Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi]
Therefore, we see that the Hijab of the Muslim woman has a quality that comprises Hayaa (modesty). Hayaa is what proceeds from Iman (belief). That is why when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands the women to observe Hijab, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says:
"And tell the believing women..." [Surah An-Nur 24:31]
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says:
"...And the women of the believers..." [Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59]
Furthermore, Allah’s Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"Al-Hayaa (modesty & bashfulness) is from Imam (belief) and Imam is in Al-Jannah (the Paradise)." [At-Tirmidhi - Saheeh]
He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam also said:
"Hayaa (modesty and bashfulness) and Imam (belief) are fully associated together, if one is lifted the other follows suit." [Narrated by ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Umar; related by Al-Haakim in his "Mustadrak"]

Creative Writing - Show, Don't Tell

Use Imagery and All the Senses to Delight Readers
HOW???

Use Imagery to Evoke Pictures in the Reader's Mind

One thing a creative writer will want to do is show his readers what he sees. He doesn't need to show them every little detail, but what is described needs to evoke what is necessary to the scene. The situation needs to somehow feel real to the reader.
