A few years back I remember I was all into Bollywood or songs and all that it contains. Though in a period of time I started to think over what I was doing. I thought a lot about whether this would give me any sawabh and if it is morally correct to listen to songies that contains somewhat fahashia. So I changed. Suddenly one day when I woke up I went to the computer with my Ipod and deleted all the songies and let all the Naats to be there. From that day on I only listen to naats and some songs that have nice and decent lyrics. That was a change in me that started for more than a year ago.
Nowadays Im reading a lot about Islam to get more knowledge so that I can know how to behave in certain circumstances from hadees sharif and lots of other islamic books. It has given me guidelines in how to behave and different types of manners that I before didn`t even know were Islamic. I`ve been lucky and had amazing help in getting me on the right track, so I want to share it, so that more people can benefit from it. Even though we all have our mistakes I can recall a lot of hadees and correct myself that In that circumstance I shouldn`t have done that or in that circumstance I should have done that. This is going to help me in my struggle to become a better human being and inshaAllah a Mominah one day.
What I want to share with you people is that if we listen to songies that have a bad ingredient and watch tv-serials that tells us more about un-islamic things than that would have a very bad effect on our spirit, our spirituality and us being a muslim. My mum always tells me that if you start repenting early in your life for your past mistakes than most of your life will be nice and rest of your life will become more prosperous, but if you start repenting when you are in your seventy`s than for one you wouldn`t be able to pray properly, for your life has passed by in negligence. It`s time for us to wake up and realize what is important in life. Which is to strive to become a better human being and a better Muslim/Muslimah to one day be invited to Jannah, InshaAllah. Ameen summa ameen.
I really adore Pir Alaudin Siddiqui Sahib and like to watch Noor tv whenever i get time for it. I often watch his dars and it is MashAllah very enlightening. I remember today he was speaking about the fact that if every Muslim or Muslimah live their life according to Islam then inshaAllah also their prayers will be answered. And of course the other way around. Noor tv has many times written a hadees their ke ek muslim dosrein muslim ke liye dua karein to woh tab hi kabool hogi agar woh banda /bandi namaz partha hon ya parthi hon. Why am i writing about this today, yes because some people claim to say that one shouldnt go to our elders to make prayers for us. I don`t agree with that. What Pir Sahib used to say is that if you are a true muslim and follow the guidelines for Islam than your prayers will be answered. We know that if you have an income which is not halal or you eat something that is not halal than your prayers won`t be answered. So people come to Pirs as their followers and ask them to pray for them. Why not? First of all if someone prayers aren`t answered they could be praying for something that isn`t going to happen or maybe they have something un-halal in them. So of course, go to your Pirs and ask them to pray for you. Because these people are so enlightened and are true muslims indeed. Every person is near to Allah but some person prayer pehle kabool hoti hain. That we know, so their is nothing wrong in asking them to pray for you.
Another thing some people go to these Allah ke dost and make prayer directly to them, that is wrong. Only Allah can answer your prayer, noone else has the Power to do so. Lekin, in Allah ke doston ka vasila zaroor liya ja saktha hain ke unke tawassul se hamari prayer kabol ho jaye. Asking directly from anything else than Allah is shirk and such a major sin in Islam that Allah will never forgive it on judgement day.
My parents have shared several stories with me throughout my upbringing. And I would like to share a story with you. I`m not sure if I can remember it correctly but you`ll get the picture 
A little family of a father and his son lived in a little town. They had a few belongings and a donkey. For some reason they had to abandon all that they owned. So they went on a journey to find a new home. After walking a while the boy became tired so the father let him sit on the donkey as they came to a town. Walking through the town they could hear some people saying things like: why is the old man walking while the young boy is resting on the donkey. Poor man he looks exhausted. After listening, the father and the son got upset. They decided that they’ll let the father sit on the donkey instead. Further on they come to another town. When the family walks through the inhabitants again pass a comment: look at the poor boy he has to walk while his father is resting on the donkey. Not fair at all. Again this upsets the father and the son so they take all their belongings and put it on the donkey and walks further toward their destination. Passing the third town they again receive a remark from some of the people. This time they comment: poor donkey that has to carry the burden and the father and the son are simply walking. They should think about the donkey and its health. At the end they get so outrageous that they decide to carry the donkey. This time the people laugh at them saying: stupid people. Why are they carrying the donkey?
The moral of the story is that one can never please the whole world. There`s always going to be a few people who will be happy for you and the decisions you make and some others will dislike the same decisions and make you feel bad about them. The key is to trust yourself. Listen to others opinions but make your own decisions based on what you believe in. This will boost your confidence even more and make you stronger being. Of course by making your own decisions you also have to bear all consequences of them. And you can`t blame anyone else if sometimes turns out different than planned. I`m sure no matter what the outcome is, it will surely give you a feeling of standing on your own feet and being independent. This is a must to survive in this world.
Love the lyrics of this song. Have it on my phone and ipod. Very inspirational and positive. You wouldn`t mind a bit positive boost, hmm:)
Hum hain Pakistani hum to jeetein ghe ha jeetein ghe.
Har medan mein har toofan mein har mushkil mein jeetein ghe.
Hum hain Pakistani hum to jeetein ghe ha jeetein ghe.
Kaisa bhi ho andeera, door nahi savera,
Larna hain nafraton se, pyar ke dushmanon se.
Jeena hain sar utha ke, zulm or sitam mita ke.
Duniya haseen banayein, paas dilon ko layen.
Aangan aangan khusian bhantein.
Aane wale dor ke insan hum se jeena sekhein ghe.
Hum hain Pakistani hum to jeetein ghe ha jeetein ghe.
Dekhein joh mil kar hum ne, poorein woh kwabh honge.
Gham na koi sahega, khoon nahi bahega.
Ab na kisi jawan ke, zehar badan mein hoga.
Phool har ik taza, apne chaman mein hoga.
Aankein saari roshan hongi.
Dard ka suraj dhal jayega, woh din bhi hum dekhein ghe.
Hum hain Pakistanin hum to jeetein ghe ha jeetein ghe.
Aanein walein dor ke insan hum se jeena seekhein ghe.
Hum hain Pakistani hum to jeetein ghe ha jeetein ghe.
Har medan mein har toofan mein har mushkil mein jeetein ghe.
- Ameen summa ameen -
Lyrics from the song “Positivity” by Stevie Wonder for a positivism boost
Song from the album “a time to love” 
Some people ask me why always on the bright side.
When there`s so much goin down on the other side.
It`s like I live in a bubble with no trouble.
And problems don`t exist.
I chuckle and tell them that ain`t the case at all.
It goes way back to the time when I was very small.
Not in mind but in size and age my papa used to say.
You can always look at the negative.
But you should always live in the positive.
So I try everyday to live in that way.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Some people live in the what was and what they could have been.
As oppose to live in what is and how much they can.
And be the first to complain about nothin in life goin their way.
The attitude is ” that there I can`t do nothin `bout`
And very happy with just breathin in and out.
The ones that when you say “let`s go and make a difference”
They`ll say “naw, that`s ok”
So I don’t waste time on the trip side.
Cause I do know the real on the flip side.
And I`m crystal clear everyday, that`s why I say,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
When I see the morning.
And the sun is smiling down upon me.
I joy in the blessing.
That still the ground is not above me.
And for the people.
That I can truly say do love me.
I feel positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
Cause this day did not have to be.
Some people ask me why I`m such an optimist.
When It`s more fashionable to be a pessimist.
From what`s in seventy-five percent of what we read here and view.
Well i used to have a friend named Minnie Riperton.
Who used to always say when she was livin.
Like fine wine I like to see the glass of life as half full than half empty.
I`m not saying sometimes life can`t be rough.
But never to the point of me sayin I`ve had enough.
Long as my heart is beating I ain`t givin up.
That`s whay I say everyday.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
When people ask me as an African-American.
What do I see tomorrow for the human plan.
Is it possible for all the people to co-exist.
I say unity is only as long as our vision.
And if It`s narrow, strive to expand beyond the horizon.
But true leaders must guide us through the ills of society that stand in our way.
So if the road is to harmony, be with the call.
But if It`s about discord, don`t take the ride at all.
Cause the world vision i see a one-we for everybody.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
When you see the morning.
And the sun is shining down upon you.
Just joy in the blessing.
That still the ground is not above you.
And for the people.
That can truly say do love you.
Do feel Positivity.
And that`s the energy the world needs.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
Cause this day did not have to be.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life`s meant to be.
Positivity.
Cause that`s the energy the world needs.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life`s meant to be.
Positivity.
And this day did not have to be.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
And that`s the energy the world needs.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life`s meant to be.
Positivity.
And that`s the energy the world needs.
Sometimes I get amazed by how difficult it sometimes can be to just stay quiet. Think for instance: another person who is very close to you accuses you of things just because his /her angry or jealous about something, so he takes all his anger out on you. What would you do then? Would you fight back, try to change him or just turn away? The easy way out would be to just let him/her with his anger. And pray to God that he someday will change. But if you really care for that person you would do anything to stay by and make him understand why it is wrong to do so. And help him change.
Something I learnt when I was little is that keeping other persons` private stuff private to everyone else will also keep your private stuff private from the rest of the world. Meaning if you have heard something from someone, than don’t say it to someone else but take what you heard with you in the grave. Is tarhah Allah apke saare baaton ki khifazat karein gha. Believe me no one wants their private life to be told out on the radio. Be it anyone. Be careful with what you say because Allah sab kuch dekh raha hain..
And remember if you want others to respect you, it`s important that you respect them as well. Respect goes both ways. Dissing someone else to make yourself feel better is not a solution. And it would make you feel even worse. Is tarha aap kisi ke nazron se ghir jaye ghe…
Keep in mind jii.. We all have some things that are great about us and some things that aren`t so good or could be improved somewhat.. So let that beautiful personality of yours shine the way through life.. And let us try to become a better person in all ways..
