பொதுநலம் - பேணுவோம் சுயநலம் - சுட்டெரிப்போம்

இன்றைய சமுதாயத்தின் நிலையும் குணுமும் மாறிக்கொண்டும் மழுங்கிக்கொண்டும் வந்து கொண்டேயிருக்கிறது. சமூகத்தில் மூடு பழக்கங்கள் ஒரு புரம் தலைவிரித்தாடினாலும் மறுபுறம் மக்களின் குணங்களின் தரத்தில் குறைவும் தேய்வும் காணப்படுகிறது. உலகில் அதிகமான கொலை கொள்ளை  ,  அடுத்தவரை நிம்மதியாக வாழ விடக்கூடாது என்ற எண்ணம் ,  மனிதனை மேலும் மேலும் வழிகேட்டில் தள்ளுகிறது. ஆனால் ஒன்றை தெளிவாக விளங்கவேண்டும்: சுயநலப்போக்குக் கொண்டு பொதுநலம் கொஞ்சமும் இல்லாத அல்லாஹ்வும்  ,  இரசூலும் விரும்புவது இல்லை. பொதுநலம் இஸ்லாத்தின் ஒரு அங்கம். உண்மை முஸ்லிமின் அடையாளம். சுருக்கமாக வேறொரு வார்த்தையில் சொன்னால் அது ஈமானின் ஒரு பகுதி. பொதுநலம் இல்லாது  அடுத்தவர் நலன் கருதாது வாழுபவர் இஸ்லாத்தின் பண்பாடு வட்டத்திலிருந்து அவர் வெளியேறிகொண்டிருக்கிறார். قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ - أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ - شُعْبَةً، فَأَفْضَلُهَا قَوْلُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْحَيَاءُ...

Two Ways Of Knowing Your Creator

 Click It:-  Dua & Azkar By AllReal The Two Ways of Knowing Your Creator In his book Al-Fawaid, Ibn-Qayyim mentions two ways of knowing Allah. The  first  is by observing His creation – Allah says in the Quran – Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of understanding. [Quran – Al-Baqra 2:164] The Quran also states: Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the h...

Success Story

*Sunday Story* Michael Jordan was an African-American man, born in 1963, in the slums of Brooklyn, New York. He had four brothers and his father's wages were not sufficient to provide for the whole family. He grew up in a poor neighbourhood which was full of discrimination, to the point where he could not see any hope for the future. When he was 13 years old, his father gave him a piece of used clothing and asked: "What do you think the value of this outfit would be?" Jordan replied, "Maybe one dollar." His father asked, "Can you sell it for two dollars? If you can sell it, it would mean that you are a big help to your father and mother. " Jordan nodded his head, "I'll try, but no guarantee that I'll be successful." Jordan carefully washed the clothes clean. Because they didn't have an iron, to smoothen out clothes, he levelled it with a clothes brush on a flat board, then kept it in the sun to dry. The next day, he b...

Similarities and Differences Between "Muslim" and "Mumin"

arabic   terminology   mumin In the Quran, two terms are used to refer to those on the straight path (suratal mustakeem):  muslim  and  mumin . What are some similarities and differences between "muslim" and "mumin"? In the Quran, it is said that Mumins are the ones who will be salvaged. But I don't remember such a promise for Muslims. Also, I know that the Mumin is coming from the Arabic root "١من" which means "safety". But safety from exactly what? Are Mumins a subset of Muslims, or are they superset? It is no doubt that these two sets have intersection, but does one of them completely encapsulate the other, or do they have different elements (people)? share   improve this question asked Jun 19 '12 at 20:26 hkBattousai 4,868 ● 11 ● 32 ● 55 edited Apr 2 '17 at 16:22 Rebecca J.
