Some of the
lessons learnt from Qur'an that applies to our general living!
1. Respect and honour all human beings
irrespective of their religion, colour, race, sex, language, status,
property, birth, profession/job and so on
[17/70]
2. Talk straight, to the point, without any ambiguity or deception
[33/70]
3. Choose best words to speak and say them in the best possible way
[17/53, 2/83]
4. Do not shout. Speak politely keeping your voice low.
[31/19]ujk
5. Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and
ostentatious [22/30]
6. Do not confound truth with falsehood
[2/42]
7. Say with your mouth what is in your heart
[3/167]
8. Speak in a civilised manner in a language that is recognised by the
society and is commonly used [4/5]
9. When you voice an opinion, be just, even if it is against a relative
[6/152]

[31/18]
11. Do not talk, listen or do anything vain
[23/3, 28/55]

then pass by with dignity [25/72]

overt [6/151].
14. If, unintentionally, any misconduct occurs by you, then correct
yourself expeditiously [3/134].

[31/18]
16. Do not walk haughtily or with conceit
[17/37, 31/18]
17. Be moderate in thy pace
[31/19]

[25/63]
19. Keep your gazes lowered devoid of any lecherous leers and salacious
stares [24/30-31, 40/19].

[24/15-16]
21. When you hear something malicious about someone, keep a favourable
view about him/her until you attain full knowledge about the matter.
Consider others innocent until they are proven guilty with solid and
truthful evidence [24/12-13]
22. Ascertain the truth of any news, lest you smite someone in ignorance
and afterwards repent of what you did
[49/6]
23. Do not follow blindly any information of which you have no direct
knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception) you must
verify it for yourself. In the Court of your Lord, you will be held
accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning

nobody knows more than yourself. Remember! Above everyone endowed

exhortation. Reason with them most decently

If God was to grant you
70 years of your life...
You would spend:
24 years sleeping
14 years working
8 years in
amusement
6 years at the
dinner table
5 years in
transportation
4 years in
conversation
3 years in
education
3 years reading
3 years watching
television
If you prayed 5 Times every day,
you would be giving God 5 months of your life.
Can't we give 5
months out of 70 years?
Let's all give God
a minimum of
5 months of our lives!

TIME IS EVERYTHING -
MAXIMUM UTILIZES IT!!
Top of

Imagine there is a bank, which credits your account each morning with
$86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allow you to keep no
cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you
had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent,
of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is Time.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes
off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a
new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you
fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back.
There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get
from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running.
Make the most of today..

1. Knowledge: Wasted when not taking action with it.
2. Actions: Wasted when we do anything without sincerity, Intensions count.
3. Wealth: Wasted when used on things that will not bring us âjr (reward).
We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things that have no
benefit in this life or in âkhirah (the Hereafter).
4. Hearts: Wasted when empty from the love of Allah, and the longing for Him/Her,
and devoid of peace and contentment.
5. Bodies: Wasted when we don't use them in ibâdah (worship) and service of Allah
6. Love: Wasted when our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but
towards something/someone else.
7. Time: Wasted when not used properly, by not doing what is righteous.
8. Intellect: Wasted on things that are detrimental to society and the individual,
not in contemplation or reflection.
9. Service: Wasted when in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah.
10. Dhikr: Wasted when it does not affect our hearts.

Something to
Think about
Top of
Page
-Funny how a $20 bill looks so big when you
take it to Mosque, but so small when you take it to the market.
-Funny how long it takes to do Zikr for an
hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
-Funny how long a couple of hours spent at
Mosque are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
-Funny how we can't think of anything to say
when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about
to a friend.
-Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball
game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a "Tarahvi" during
Ramadhan is longer than the regular time.
-Funny how hard it is to read a Para in the
Quran, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
-Funny how people want to get a front seat at
any game or
concert, but scramble to get a back row at mosque so that scramble out.
-Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance
notice to fit a Mosque event into our schedule, but can adjust our
schedule for other events at the last moment.
-Funny how hard it is for people learn a
simple Preaching well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the
same people to understand and repeat gossip.
-Funny how we believe what the newspaper
says, but question what the Quran says.
-Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven
provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do
anything.
-Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes'
through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending
messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
Are you laughing? Are you thinking?
Spread the word and give thanks to Allah for He is Good & Merciful !
