Assalamualaikum to every one out there.

Hamdullilah I finally managed to get this up and running.This my second blog running and i have closed the previous one purely because it served no sense of purpose for me besides letting some steam off and brushing up my writing skills.However I embark on this particular blog with a much greater purpose InshAllah.

"Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors. " [57:16]

This ayat was recited recently at a khutbah i was lucky enough to attend by Mufti Ismail Menk of zimbabwe during his recent visit to Srilanka.SubhanAllah it moved many of us if not all ! He elaborated on it in such a way MashAllah.To qoute him

'Has the time not come ? Has the time not come ? Has the time not come for the true beleivers,for those who claim to beleive to now turn to the Creator?
Have you not done enough of sin ? Have you not comitted enough?
Has the time not come for you to turn to your Creator?
What are you waiting for ?
How man messages have come to you ?
How man reminders have come to you ?
How many people have to come to you ?
How many situations have come to you ?
How much have you been told ?
How much have you seen in your life ?
How many people have died before you ?
What are you waiting for ?
Are you waiting for the angels to come down to talk to you so that you can change? '

What he goes on to say, is the consequence of not returning to Allah .May we never reach that situation InshAllah.You can download the talk here.Pls include the sheikh in your duas.

These are all questions that honestly pierce our conscience.

Has the time not come? What are we waiting for ?

It is with that intention and motivation that I started this blog.Firstly to serve as motivation,inspiration and reminder to myself. Secondly so that I get rewarded InshAllah for striving to become a better muslim,for spreading the work of our knowledgable ulamah who closely adhere to the Quran and the Sunnah and to benefit from that.


It is indeed common in us that we like to blame most of our problems on others and not ourselves without even pondering how we allowed ourselves to get to the situation.We are first to point fingers at others without looking within. Ignorance and Arrogance!the twin engines of destruction. May this blog also serve as an avenue to myself first and then the readers for the remedy i.e introspection and education InshAllah.May it render the support i seek and you seek from the Ummah at large to strive in the right path InshAllah.

Wassalams
