Beautification
Beautify your voice with thikr. Beautify your listening with recitation of Qur’an. Beautify your face by smiling. Beautify your heart with patience. Beautify your soul with tahajud prayer. Beautify your eyes by loweing your gaze and by looking at your beautiful mother with love. Beautify with simplicity, for materialistic things vanish.

Greetings in Islam
The Islamic greeting is better than any other greeting used by anyone, anywhere in this world. The greeting “Al Salam 3alaykom we ra7ma Allah we Barakato” is better than any other greeting for the following reasons.
1. It is not just an expression of love, but the reason and logic for this love is expressed in a prayer (Dua’a) wishing that you be saved from all forms of grief. This is not only...

Characteristics of Believers
Whoever accepted Islam has chosen very precisely the correct path. Even after making such a realistic decision, a Muslim cannot say that he/she will go to Paradise just like that. The entry into Paradise is only with the mercy of Allah (SWT).
The beautiful thing is that Allah left us a guide; a set of instructions in the Qur’an about various characteristics of people who are very good candidates...

Soora Al-Fatiha
Soora Al-Fatiha is the opening chapter of the Qur’an. It is so important for so many reasons.
(1) It is the first complete Soora revealed to Prophet Mohamed (SAS), hence it is called “Fatiha al-Kitaab”
(2) It is also called “the esteemed Qur’an”, “Umm-al-Kitaab”, and “Umm-al-Quran”. Prophet Mohamed (SAS) said, “I swear by the lord, in whose hands is my life, that there has been no soorah like...

Does God exist?
-------
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.
Barber: I don't believe that God exists.
Customer: Why do you say that?
Barber: Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.
-------
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.
Customer: You know what? Barbers don't exist.
Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!
Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.
Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.
Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.

The most Important Part Of the Body :) →
segelasairmasak:
My Father used to ask me: “What is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Father.” Father said, “No Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

The Prophet's Romantic Love for Lady Aishah
His romantic love for Lady Aishah has always amazed me. Honestly speaking, I find this relation much more romantic than many love stories that were famous throughout history and literature of love. I mean, they were real! Many of the famous stories are novels, tales, and simply stories. But, Prophet Muhammad and Lady Aishah’s love was real. They lived it, cherished it and practiced it, down to...

Motivators
Pray. Pray. Pray.
Praying is number one on this list, and probably on every other list because praying is the most important thing a Muslim can do. Praying means praying those five Prayers during 24 hours of every day. Pray with Diligence (Itkan). Pray with fear. Pray with love.
Learn to be strong.
And I don’t mean strength as in a physical capacity, I mean willpower. Strength from within. Endure...

Many of us think that “a perfect Muslim” is simply one who is correct in the observance of the salaah (ritual Prayer), the fasting, the Zakaah (payment of a certain portion of one’s wealth to the poor), and the Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah). This indeed is not the case. If the ritual observances do not help the person to be humble, virtuous and truly God-fearing, then he or she is not...
