ISLAM AND THE WEST - 30

 “The first of his deeds for which a man will be made to account for on the day of resurrection will be Salah. If that is deemed satisfactory, all his deeds will be deemed satisfactory. If that is deemed unsatisfactory, all his deeds will be deemed unsatisfactory.” (Hadith-e-Nabvi)

 

“Allah Ta’ala has made Salah Fard (compulsory) five times a day. Whoever performs wudu (ablution) properly, prays them at the right times, performs Ruku’ and Sajdah as they are supposed to be performed, and prays them with humbleness of heart, then Allah Ta’ala has vowed to forgive such a person. But there is no promise from Allah Ta’ala for a person who doesn’t perform these properly. If He wills, He will forgive that person, and if He wills, He may punish Him.” (Hadith-e-Nabvi)

Usmani Discourses Volume. 2

  Alhamdulillah the second volume of the collection of translations of Mufti Taqi Usmani sahib's (DB) talks is now ready. Because of the Covid situation around the world I decide to just publish it as an e-book at this time. However, there is no restriction on anyone who wants to publish it in print and may want to distribute it. My first and foremost thanks and gratitude to Mufti Taqi Usmani sahib himself. As you know I am not a religious scholar. I had started translating his talks for my children, family, and friends who are unable to read Urdu. When I had first told him, I was shocked when he had written back, "publish it as a book when you have translated enough material." I didn't think (and still don't think) it was my place for my name to be associated with such an eminent and one of the foremost scholar of our times but I told myself that if he is telling me to do it, there must be some Khair (good) in it, so I took it on as a lifelong project. May the re

THE FIRST 5 YEARS

Some time ago a couple asked me for some advice about their 3 years old son's behaviour. In psychiatry, the dictum is that problem in children are often indicative of problems in their environment, and the younger the child, the more strongly this principle holds true. I, therefore, asked them in detail about their interaction with the child.  I found out that they both did full-time, quite high-powered, very demanding jobs. Before going to work, they left their only son at the daycare so early that he was still sleeping. They picked him up late and by that time they were all so exhausted that as soon as they got home they put him to bed. On weekends they would still have lingering work so one or the other of them would still be working. After listening to the whole story, I asked them, "Tell me one thing. If you wanted to make a copy of your photo, whose photo would you put on the copying surface?" They looked at me as if I was stupid and said, "Of course, our photo
