The mind of a little one is like clay, it gets mold according to the shape of the container and maintains that shape throughout his life,once the clay dries out and  you try to change that shape, it will break. It not only adopts the shape of the container but also endorses the colour, nature, even good and bad attributes of that container. That container is actually the guardian of the kid. The schooling and coaching of childhood is so strong that it never loses its impact. WHAT DO WE TEACH OUR KIDS: In our society; the very first problem is that the problem never remains self sufficing, it rolls over to other people. If a mother has an issue of jealousy she will certainly teach it to her kids. I am not saying she will literally tell them "come on.. get jealous of them", she will even not admit she is jealous! But her actions will prove it by one way or another. For example, she might compare her kid to other kid. We have to know that everybody has some unique features of th...

What does rain teach us? Not to stop Not to break Not to judge Not to hate Not to fall till the end... Give the life to the dead Give the hope to the rest Give the reds to the blues Give the love to the hates Give the colour to the greys...

Islam is the best of all religions because it not only teaches the way of life but also how to achieve that state. Let us take a very simple example; suppose there is a big gang, a mafia which has police in its pocket and this mafia rob, robbery is a bad thing, we all know that. It is bad because it hurts the victim, the robbed. But there is no single evidence which might prove it is bad for the robber without the concept of someone who is watching each and everyone of us, who keeps the record, who do not spare the one who do injustice in any case! Here comes the need for a belief, for a faith in some super natural thing who is not corrupt and who is not biased. There are many religions in this world; major ones are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism. All of them consider robbery bad, wrong and immoral but Islam is the only one religion which has a law as strict for this act so as this crime need not to be committed in any case. In Quran; s urah al ma'idah chapter 5, verse 38, ...

PRE-ISLAMIC WOMEN:  Islam is the religion which provided women their due rights 1400 years ago. Back in history, in Babylonian civilization, when a man committed murder instead of him being punished his wife was  put to death. In Greek civilization, they had a mythological creature who was a woman named 'Pandora', she was the cause for misfortune and evil in society. When Roman civilization was at its peak, man was even permitted to kill his wife. Egyptian civilization considered women as a sign of the devil. When we read the Arab civilization before Islam, when baby girls were born they were buried alive.  Before coming to my topic I would like to clarify a misconception. One who wants to see the status of a woman in Islam should see the authentic sources for it which are Quran and Hadith. Judging  the status of women in Islam on the bases of what Muslims do or not do to their women is wrong. Islam is second most followed religion in the world, about 2 billion ...
