What is the Proper Way to Offer Salaat?


After performing ablution one should sit down in a comfortable position facing the Holy Kaba. After this, one should recite the Durood Shareef “Sallalahu Taalaa Alaa Habeebihee Muhammadan Wassallim” three times, followed by reciting Astaghfar "Astaghfirullahi Rabbee Min Kulli Zambin Wa Atoobu Alaihi" three times.
After this, one should close the eyes, whether it is for a minute, three minutes or five minutes, any length of time is fine depending on how much time one has. With the eyes closed one should imagine that Allah is watching me. After this, one should stand up and offer his intention to pray. Care should be taken to ensure that the feet are parallel to each other at a distance of approximately six inches apart when standing in Salaat . In all the actions of Salaat the backbone should be kept straight while the head should be kept a little bent down. The eye should be kept focussed on the position of prostration. The feet should be kept still and not moving.
When reciting “Subhana Kallahumma”, Sūrah Fātiha and other verses from the Qur’ān that follow, the words should be pronounced clearly and separately. Listen to the words being recited and notice that each word is being separately recited.
A better and more appropriate method is to memorise the meanings of these Sūrahs. Pay attention to the meanings when reciting the Sūrahs that have been memorised in Arabic. One who is attentive towards the meanings of the Qur’ān becomes unaware of his surroundings when performing Salaat and achieves concentration in Salaat . This is the concentration that has been called ‘Qiyām Salāt’ or a connection with Allah.

Classification of Diseases on the Basis of Causes in Colour Therapy

According to Colour Therapy, all the diseases can be classified on the basis of causes of diseases into two groups:
A) Diseases Resulting from Our Living Style: When we live in dark, congested, unhygienic and unfavorable atmosphere, our body becomes a target of disease of all sorts.
B) Diseases Resulting from Our Thinking Pattern: Diseases due to dubiety, uncertainty and whimsical approach of thinking, i.e., our emotional attitude, mental tension, strain, materialistic approach, insecurity and our ignorance about the spiritual knowledge are causes of these types of diseases.
As is clear, if any one interested in living a disease free life he should take care of his life style and his thinking pattern in the light of above mentioned discussion.

Non-Muslims Bias towards Islam & Muslims


  • Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith, b ut when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist?
  • Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God, but when a muslim women does the same she is oppressed?
  • Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom. But when muslim girl wears a Hijab, they prevent her from entering her university?
  • When a Christian or a Jew kills someone, religion is not mentioned. But when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam and Muhammad that goes to trial!
  • When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him. But when a Muslim does that in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestinian  and Kashmir to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!
