Signs

Among His Signs in this, that He created you from dust; and then,- behold, ye are men scattered (far and wide)!

And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.

And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day, and the quest that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken.

And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.

And among His Signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He calls you, by a single call, from the earth, behold, ye (straightway) come forth.

(Quran chapter 30 verse 20-25)

Rules


Every where there are rules and regulations, Schools have rules, offices have rules, governments have rules, families have rules, so what about LIFE?? Shouldn’t there be rules for life,
One might say we can make our own rules for life, like we make for schools and office etc, but schools and offices are places we build, organizations we make, in other words something we create on our own, but we are not the one's who created life, so we are not the ones who are suppose to make the rules, the one who created life makes the rules.

Servants of God


And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,-

"Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in";

Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);

Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.

(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-

Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion;-

Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance);

Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace,

(Quran chapter 25 verse 63-75)

Law of Gravity

"Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done" (Sir Issac Newton)

Call of Abraham


Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.

"O my Lord! they have indeed led astray many among mankind; He then who follows my (ways) is of me, and he that disobeys me,- but Thou art indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks.

"O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.

"Praise be to Allah, Who hath granted unto me in old age Isma'il and Isaac: for truly my Lord is He, the Hearer of Prayer!

O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.

"O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness - me, my parents, and (all) Believers, on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!

(Quran chapter 14 verse 35-41)

Head scarf and muslim woman

It is very common that in many parts of the world woman are being used and paid for her services, Islam says woman is not a Slave of man and she has her own rights. A Muslim woman who wears Hijab or head scarf get oppressed or questioned, why is that a naked woman has the right to walk the streets but not a Muslim woman who wears the head scarf? Note that a Muslim women is not wearing the head scarf because her husband or family told to do so and it is not some cultural thing, but a Muslim women wears the head scarf to show her obedient to her creator, to be modest, she don’t want to go around tempting men, she don’t want to be judged by her physical appearance, she is saying see what is inside of me not what is outside, for Instance when most men are looking at woman from toe to head, they are not really looking at her, they are looking at something else and they also wants Something else, not what the woman wants but most woman think when they dress naked and when men look at them that she is beautiful, but this is Not the case. Islam says the real beauty is inside of her, obedience, modesty, good character, doing good deeds, caring and kindness, this is what makes her really beautiful. Of course a Muslim woman is allowed to take off her head scarf in front of her husband, kids and family members. A Muslim woman who wears head scarf is saying her physical beauty is only for her husband and that she is only his pearl, this applies for the men also, he is also ordered to be modest and chaste for her wife, and they don’t want to go around selling it to everyone. In the holy Quran God Almighty says: "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty..."
(Quran chapter 24 verse 30-31)
