Late Princess Diana of Wales (UK), visits a patient in Hospital. Lady Diana was know for her devout service for Poor and Needy people. She had a soft heart for the People of Palestine, which raised the eyebrow of many Westerns. No shame to accept, but we Muslims are lacking behind in such qualities. The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "Allaah will say on the Day of Judgment (to a person): 'O son of Aadam! I was sick and you did not visit Me!' So the person will reply: 'O my Lord! How could I have visited You, while You are the Lord of the worlds?' So He will say: 'Did you not know that My servant, so and so, was sick, yet you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?'"(Muslim).

Our deeds are presented to Allah every Thursday night

Holy Prophet (SAW) said that our deeds are presented to Allah every Thursday night and anyone who has severed family ties has all his good deeds rejected. "Allah's mercy will not descend on people among whom there is one who severs ties of kinship." [Baihaqi, Shuab Al-Iman] O PEOPLE PLEASE RESTORE TODAY YOUR BROKEN RELATIONS, AND GET BLESSINGS FROM ALMGIHTY GOD.. IF YOU MOVE FORWARD AND FORGIVE YOUR KINS YOU WILL NOT BECOME SMALL MAN.. BUT YOUR STATUS IN FRONT OF GOD WILL INCREASE.

Threshold India 2009

'Threshold India 2009' is brain child of Shahid Sayed to promote entrepreneurship amongst the Muslim youth, to bring them closer to the mainstream and make them committed global citizens that value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a goal worth achieving by their own efforts. Sadaqat is a very wide term and is used in the Quran to cover all kinds of charity. Helping someone to establish himself in business, giving someone a proper education; helping someone to recover from some disease by monetary assistance to looking after the orphans and the destitute; giving scholarships to students, all such charitable works, come under sadaka jaria - that is why so many centres of social welfare have continued to function in the Muslim community. (Quran 2 : 261 The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

Coming to the rights of relatives

Ali bin Hussain, the great-grandson of the Prophet, said: "Coming to the rights of relatives, it is the right of your mother that you should appreciate that she carried you as nobody carries anybody, and fed you the fruits of her heart which nobody feeds anybody, and protected you with her ears, hands, legs, hair, limbs, with her whole being, gladly, cheerfully and carefully; suffering patiently all the worries, pains, difficulties and sorrows, till the hand of God removed you from her and brought you into this world.""Then she was most happy feeding you, even if she herself had no clothes; giving you milk and water; not caring for her own thirst; keeping you in the shade, even if she had to suffer from the heat of the sun; giving you every comfort with her own hardship; lulling you to sleep while keeping herself awake.""And her womb was your abode, her lap your refuge, and her breast your feeder, and her whole existence your protection; it was she, not you, who was braving the heat and cold of this world.
