"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."

-     Being answerable to ourselves and the ONE WHO IS OUR CREATOR - and if we do that there is a promise of a great reward "But for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord, there will be two Gardens" AL-RAHMAN (55 : 46).

 -    Continuos remembrance of Allah Karim can make us conscious of His omni-presence so that we shall fear the time of standing in front of Him and peace will be our possession. He Says in Quran "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." AR-RA'AD (13 : 28).

-     Total Submission (تسلیم و رضا). We should do our thing and then submit to Allah for whatever we have or we don't.......Life will be filled with peace. Allah SWT Says "And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion." AL-TALAAQ (65 : 2-3).

-     Deeds and Deals (معمولات اور معاملات). If we do and deal with everything of life and everyone in life correctly, peace is guaranteed because Allah Says "Is there any Reward for Good - other than Good? "AL-RAHMAN (55 : 60).

He SWT is the One that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that you do. And He listens to those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and gives them increase of His Bounty: but for the Unbelievers their is a terrible Penalty. ASH-SHURA (42:25-26).

27.    Those who repent, believe, and work righteousness, will have hopes to be among those who achieve salvation (Muflihoon). AL-QASAS (28:67).

28.    They give to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the Countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper. AR-ROOM (30:38).

29.     They are regular in Prayer and Charity. LUQMAN (31:4-5).

30.     They are the people who believe in Allah and the Last Day. 

31.     They do not love those who resist Allah SWT and His Messenger ﷺ, even though they are their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred. 

32.     Allah SWT has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (for ever). Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Truly it is the Party of Allah that will achieve Felicity. 

AL-MUJAADIALA (58:22).

My son Omar went to Jinnah Park with his class mates on Friday last. They all enjoyed a science fiction Movie at Cine-Pax, had good food, roamed around till late evening and then decided to disperse. Omar was carrying an old vintage Black Berry.....which became causality......method of loss irrelevant.

He called me but wanted to talk to his mother; I knew instantly that sth had gone wrong. Having narrated the story he was comforted by both of us as we told him to relax; loss of Set being no object compared to the Day Out Pleasure he and his pals had during the picnic.

I gave the IMEI of the Set to someone for monitoring its output and location. I was informed today that it had emitted signals through another SIM. 

FORGIVENESS IS NOT AN OCCASIONAL ACT; IT IS AN ATTITUDE.

ATTITUDES ARE CONTAGIOUS. DO YOU WANT PEOPLE AROUND YOU TO CATCH YOURS?

NOTHING CAN STOP THE MAN WITH THE RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE FROM ACHIEVING HIS GOAL; NOTHING ON EARTH CAN HELP THE MAN WITH THE WRONG MENTAL ATTITUDE.

BE CAREFUL AROUND THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BOUGHT INTO NEGATIVITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE UNCANNY ABILITY OF SELLING IT AS WELL (TRY YOUR BEST TO RID THEM OFF THEIR NEGATIVITY).

And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If you are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if you show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed." 14 : 7

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order and confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home and a stranger into a friend.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates vision for tomorrow.

A life need not be great to be beautiful.

There may be as much beauty in a tiny flower as in a majestic tree;

In a little gem as in a great jewel.

A life may be very lovely and yet be insignificant in the world’s eyes.

A beautiful life is one that fulfills its mission in this world;

That is what God made it to be;

And does what God wants it to do.

Those with only commonplace gifts are in danger of thinking;

That they cannot live a beautiful life;

That they cannot be a blessing in this world.

Failure does happen. It happens to all of us. Sometimes we make mistakes. That's because we are human. Other times, we are just plain lazy. Still other times, we aren't realistic. We blow it. We fail and feel horrible!

What then? Find it helpful to remember that it is human to fail. All of us do fail - at least some of the time. Spend a little time in reflection, figure out what went wrong, and then make some changes.

Perhaps the most important thing we can do for ourselves is to refrain from beating on ourselves. After we reflect on the failure, we can let the failure go and try again. The next time we try, WE HAVE THE BENEFIT OF EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE SPENT SOME TIME PONDERING. THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO LEARN.
