Once while driving, a cop appeared in front of my car and stopped me and charged Rs 2,000 as fine! I was incomplete shock as to why he is charging this fine from me? I was driving so perfect, neither did I cross my speed limit (which could harm anyone) nor was I too slow. I was in my lane, my car was in perfect condition; I was wearing my seat belt too. I was having all the required documents with me. Then, what went wrong? I questioned the cop.
Today, many of us are becoming Ignorant towards our religious duties in the name of HUMANISM, many of us believe that “Humanity” is the Greatest Religion, without having any knowledge! And also ignoring what the Creator (the ONE who created us and everything that exist!) has mentioned for us.

We know that the world we live in has got many problems. Small or big, natural or man made. In fact, we mankind are responsible for most of the problems because almost everything is a consequence of what our hands have sent forth or left behind. Have a wide picture of the real world. The truth is that this world has become a place of business with its priority being the making of profit, while it should have been Justice. Because concern about profit leads to selfishness whereas Justice itself is unbiased and selfless. This concern about profit is what makes people greedy and leads them to do bad things.

‘Islaah’ means to improve, correct, rectify or repair. In Islamic terminology, ‘Islaah’ means correcting a Muslim or providing more knowledge of Islam to a Muslim (Ref: Shaykh Jalaaluddin Qasmi).
Allah (swt) has made believers as an Ummah. Muslims are related to each other not by blood but by the belief of Lailaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship but Allah). Our brotherhood should be as strong as our belief in Lailaha illallah is!
Common sense is not so common [Voltaire, Dictionnaire Philosophique(1764)]
There are people who simply follow their parent’s/relative’s/elder’s way of religion and there are people who do not care even to pray or perform rituals. The latter type of people are probably lesser in number than the former, as far as our country is concerned. However, both the aforementioned types are gravely wrong as the first one is nothing but ‘blind-following’ while the other is rejecting religion altogether ignorantly without any research or study!
