Al-Qur'an in 57:5 - "For HIM (Allah) is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And towards Allah is the return of all affairs." [Translated Meaning]Al-Qur'an in 96:5 - "Teacheth man that which he knew not." [Translated Meaning]Al-Qur'an in 20:114 - (Rabbi Zidni 'ilma) - "Oh My Lord! Increase Me In My Knowledge." [Translated Meaning]

After being a Muslim, always Seek refuge in Allah from 8 things,

It is narrated in many ahadeeth that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) would consistently make this du'aa, and many of the Companions heard him repeat it over and over.

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن ، والعجز والكسل والبخل والجبن ، وضلع الدين وغلبة الرجال

Transliteration: Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-hammi wal-huzni wal-’ajazi wal-kasli wal-bukhli wal-jubni wa dala’id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal.

English Translation: O Allah, I take refuge in You from (1) anxiety and (2) sorrow, (3) weakness and (4) laziness, (5) miserliness and (6) cowardice, (7) the burden of debts and (8) from being overpowered by men.

(1) anxiety (Arabic: Al-Hamm) - to be worried about the future

(2) sorrow (Arabic: Al-Hazan) - to be in grief about the past

(3) weakness (Arabic: Al-'Ajaz) - incapability in doing something good

(4) laziness (Arabic: Al-Kasl) - being lackadaisical

(5) miserliness (Arabic: Al-Bukhl) - being stingy in spending in good

(6) cowardice (Arabic: Al-Jubn) - being afraid of standing for the truth

(7) the burden of debt (Arabic: Dala'a ad-dayn) - tendency for debt to sway people from righteousness or being heavily in debt and unable to pay back

(8) from being overpowered by men (Arabic: Ghalabah - to be overpowered) - (ghalabatir-rijal) being overpowered by someone unjustly

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to me ...

Question: Why do you bring your religious views with your academic identity?

Answer: Well, not always! However, on the webpage, I have written things related to my faith as a reminder of what I should and would do. Because, that view regulates my conducts, be that in an academic task, in personal task, or whatever in life. If you are the scrutinizer of me, you can question my action based on those rules that I claim to follow. The rules are fixed with evidences and records and I, as a son of Adam am faulty, often prone to violating rules. Every person is a slave (required to give service) in earth: either to his own desire, or to his wife, or to his "love", or to his family, or to his job, or to his business, or to someone else whose views would seem to be better (that go with own sense and intellect) in setting own moral compass. When one may choose to be subordinate to any of these things and thinks that he is self-respecting himself, I decided to be a slave of Allah, The Most High, The Only One Unique Almighty, before whom there is none and after whom there is none. There is nothing like unto Him and He is self-sufficient - yes, that's the limit of the intellect to describe Him but He is only known in the way of revelation how He revealed Himself to the righteous human beings. My academic identity comes under the identity of being a Muslim (who submits his will to the Will of Allah).

Question: Those who follow Islam or any other religion and a set of rules and regulations are nitwits and disrespect themselves. Don't you think so?

Answer: Islam is not like "any other religion". Learn it in better way. Time may permit you or not to learn and that "time" (which is also a creation), none does control except Allah, who has full control to stop the lifetime of you or me or whoever the creation is, at any time. There is no exact measuring scale of your and my wit but if you compare the earthy accomplishments to judge it, I may not score less! Self-respect is a part of Islamic faith and pride is not. Those who follow only own desires disrespect many others; those who follow only others' views often disrespect themselves; those who respect both own and others' views based on a particular issue, may find a fine line to respect themselves and respect others. Your way of life is for you, and my way of life is for me.

Question: Where's the proof of your Allah's existence?

Answer: The proof is in the core of my heart (intellect) - I am convinced fully with the proof. This does not need to be proved to others and cannot be proven. I am convinced that Allah created me and I will rise after death for judgment of my deeds just like you are convinced that you need a proof to accept this kind of matter where you can neither disprove you will rise after death On the Day of Judgment to answer to Almighty about all your deeds. If this is no valid answer to your query, then the question is also not a valid question to me. People willingly believe what they want to believe.
