Do not despair
The blogs: muslims-r-us and Day in the life of muslim kidz have most of what I had wanted to collect in this blog of mine. Hence I will not be adding much to my blog, unless I get an inspiration.
Like today, when I was thinking of quiting. I have thought a lot about it, and even quit at times, but I have always been brought back by Allah's Mercy. This time I thought I should really give up for good, now that I am older and weaker and with even less sight and more impaired hearing. There seems no point in torturing myself with mistakes I make and them worrying about the consequences. But through muslims-r-us I have again been led to:
hidayaonline
where I read this:
The art of beseeching Allah (swt)
Subhanallah, whatever I have been able to do and pass the time in this world has been entirely due to Allah's Mercy, not due to any capabilities that I had. And yet here I was ready to give up. Rabbighfirlee.
So, back to the grindstone, or rather Allah's rahmah :)

They also serve ...
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts: who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed
And post o'er land and ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait."

Things You Can't Learn in School
Words of Advice from Bill Gates
:Life is wonderful, but it is also challenging at times. The following advice comes from one of the most successful businessman in history, Bill Gates. He recently told a group of high schoolers about 11 things they did not learn in school.
He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. I want all of you to be very successful, so consider some of his words:
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it.
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.--There may be virtual reality, but there is no such thing as virtual happiness :)
alHamdulillah, a freak storm
Thank you all for your duas!
Last evening, 16th May 2006, a freak, totally unexpected, out of the blue, and furious storm hit the entire Northern Pakistan. It started as a dust storm, but was soon accompanied by thunder, lightening and rain. The regions lashed by it included the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the Potohar region, the NWFP, Northern Punjab and Kashmir. Thus it lowered the temperatures and quenched the thirst of the parched Earth in these areas.
Allah alone is worthy of praise, Who listens to His servants' supplications, and eases their burden.
O Allah! grant us more rain, and bring it to the other parts of Pakistan, and India and Afghanistan, too, in every place where your created beings are going thirsty.
Aameen
Please do not stop making duas for more rain.

Quran: Learn & Act
in response to Rida's post,
awesome tajweed fact@Rida
assalamu alaykum
You said:
Yesterday I heard a teacher, Shaykh Isaam Qadhaah, say something that really made me think. He said the hadeeth says: the best among you are the ones who *learn* the Qur'aan and teach it..the word *learn* implies to put personal effort in the recitation to make it as correct as possible, as close to the words that proceeded from the mouth of the Prophet, صلىالله عليه وسلم, as possible...
Masha`Allah. This is right, and Tilawah is important, but if in Arabic the word translated as learning here does not restrict us to recitation, then there is a deeper dimension to learning than Tajweed or Tilawah, I think. To me this Hadeeth would mean implementing the message of the Quran in our lives, like the Hadith in which ummul mimineen Aisha (ra) is asked about how the prophet (saw) lived, and she said something like: "Haven't you read the Quran. He was the living Quran".
It gets hotter and hotter
It gets hotter and hotter, and drier and drier, every day. The whole of the Northern South Asian sub-continent, (and possibly the Southern part as well), is in the grip of drought. People have begun to die of thirst and heatstroke. In India, by last week 53 people had died of heatstroke. Mild drought has been declared in six districts of Baluchistan. Thar is always the first to be without water, so the conditions there must be worse. It is very severe, and looks like worsening. It takes a lot of misery for governments to admit there is a problem.
Rains, if they come, are not expected until the middle of July (16th).
In fact I think the whole of the Asian African landmass is suffering from droughts of various degrees, and more is likely.
We need your duas for immediate rains.

blogspot ban back in place
Unfortunately, the joy at finding the blogs access unimpeded was short lived, and it looks as if the ban has again been imposed.
More concerted efforts needed to bring sense here.
Drought hits Pakistan
There have been no rains (except for sparing showers) for months. The winter went by without rains or snowfall . The spring was no exception. Now summer has started and this is the driest time of the year. The warning signs were all there. Civic authorities have tried to conserve water sources, but the level of the reservoirs is at an all-time low. A few days ago the Khanpur dam was reported to have only five feet of water.
Only five feet!
Wells have gone dry. The rivers and the streams are dry. There is not much water coming from melting of the leftover snow. Most of Pakistan has become parched.
This is only the beginning of May. The whole of May, June, and the first half of July will pass dry before we expect the Monsoons.
It is urgent. Drought, followed by famine, is looming large on the horizon.
Can anything be organised before it hits us fully.
