Islam teaches love and peace, it is the religion of God; therefore, it helps and promotes love for humanity. It states that service of humanity leads to the path of faith. Muslims must get engaged in different social welfare activities and fulfill the needs of other Muslims.

In the verse 111, chapter 3, it is said: “You are the best people raised for the good of mankind: you enjoy good and forbid evil and believe in Allah.”

It is clear from the above mentioned verse that all the Muslims have been told to serve the mankind in the best possible manner and they must promote goodness. If they do not achieve this, then they cannot get into the list of best people. If you study Live Quran, you will then know about the love of Humanity. But the teachings of Islam say that Muslims must serve mankind with kindness and love.

According to the teachings of Quran, every person must display kindness to every other person, regardless of how they behave with you. By following these teachings, you can create love, peace, and harmony in the society. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) emphasized on sympathy, kindness, and love towards all the mankind and said: “One who is not grateful to mankind is not grateful to Allah.”

In another place it is said: “None among you is a true believer unless he loves for others what he loves for himself.”All the creatures in this world are created by Allah, therefore they should be treated with kindness.

Muslim marriage is the great blessing from Allah Almighty that is also the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Today we will share some of the marriage quotations that we have picked up through Quran Recitation and form Hadith of Muhammad (pbuh). It will definitely be interesting for common people but will be valuable more for Muslim visitors on this page.

• “A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, “Where we are from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven.” Then one of them said, “I will present the prayer all through the night perpetually.” The other said, “I will fast all through the year and will not break my fast.” The third said, “I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever.” Muhammad (pbuh) came to them and said, “Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more obedient to Allah and more frightened of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my custom in religion, is not from my followers.” narrated by Anas bin Maalik:
• Top of Form`O young people! Whoever among you can support a wife should marry, for that is more modest for the gaze and safer for your private parts.’ Said by Muhammad (pbuh).
• “Nikah (marriage) is my Sunna. He who spurns my Sunna is not of me. “said by prophet (pbuh).
• “A man marries a woman for four causes: for her property, for her position, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character). So marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
• “When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah as regards the remaining half.”
• `The most awful among you are your bachelors.
• “The whole world is pleasure, and the best pleasure of the world is the righteous woman.”

Hope this will be encouraging for all Muslims to avoid evils. InshaAllah

God Almighty accomplished the religion of His choice by blessing our Ummah with the greatest of all Prophets and Messengers of Allah, Muhammad (SAW), descending upon Him the greatest of all books, The Holy Quran, as narrated to us by Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in His Last Sermon:

O’ people! No Prophet would be raised after me and no new Ummah (would be formed) after you.

And,

Verily I have left amongst you that which will never lead you astray, the Book of Allah, which if you hold fast you shall never go astray

Here, Quran is the holy book of Allah; Muhammad (SAW) is referring about. Thus Quran turns out to be the ultimate spring of guidance descended upon the mankind all through to the Judgment Day.

Not only this, Allah Himself glorifies the Holy Quran in Surah e Baqara as:

Al-Baqara [2:2] This is the book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.

This leaves no room for argument or doubt in hearts and souls of true believers that Quran is the source to set hands on when searching for Allah’s guidance and blessings.

Those of us who believe in greatness of Quran and try to understand and follow the true teachings of God are definitely differentiated from the ones who don’t do so, as narrated in this verse:

Al-Baqara [2:78] And there are among them illiterates, who know not the book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.

So a true believer should always look for ways to please God Almighty and try to look for true guidance not elsewhere but The Holy Quran. Quran Online is a place on the Internet for learning how to read Quran with proper Pronunciation and Tajweed.  Here is an interesting post for you to read Quran: The Greatest Inspiration.

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

We are told on several occasions that for Muslims Ramadan is the blessed month in which Allah (SWT) closes the doors of Hell and open the door of Heaven while there are evils imprisoned in this month. In my last post I discussed the WOMEN IN CONTEXT OF HOLY QURAN and the Quran Online sources while on the other hand the following are Ahadith relating to the special divine month of Ramadan and its virtues.

1223. ‘A’isha said, “When the last ten days of Ramadan started, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray during the night, wake up his family and intensify his efforts.” [Agreed upon]

219. Chapter: On the prohibition against fasting before Ramadan after the middle of Sha’ban unless that fasting is connected to what is before it and coincides with his habit, like fasting Monday and Thursday

1224. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “None of you should fast a day or two before Ramadan except for a man who customarily fasts. He should fast that day.” [Agreed upon]

Ramadan is a blessed month from ALLAH towards Muslims. This month teaches us the way of life. Fasting in Ramadan is a duty of every Muslim. Diabetic patience should also fast in Ramadan but have to follow a diet chart for their health. ALLAH never forces on doing something but he makes easiness in each and every aspect of life. Diabetic patience should have to develop a chart and their requirements of a body according to the doctor for the Ramadan food. Because fasting specially in summer can make problems for the patients of diabetics.

• During fasting the insulin should be reduced because the amount of insulin can cause to hypoglycemia.
• Monitor sugar level routinely.
• Take variety of food in average rate. But the quantity of food should be reduced from normal days.
• Take fruits after meal daily. More and more fruits are good for diabetic’s patient.
• Take water time by time because less water can cause dehydration.
• Avoid being eating spicy food and drinking coffee and tea.
• Oily and fried things can be harmful for diabetic’s patient.

Ramadan makes our life perfect and teaches us the right way, similarly fasting in Ramadan make us more healthy and fresh. It improves blood cholesterol and controls the gastric problems and constipation.
