  Salam.. Things to wonder upon.. *** In a world often enamored with grand gestures and flashy displays, it's easy to overlook the quiet acts of courage that unfold around us every day. Yet, hidden beneath the surface of our daily lives, there are countless heroes whose bravery and resilience go unnoticed—heroes who remind us that true strength lies not in flashy costumes or superhuman feats, but in the simple acts of kindness, compassion, and selflessness that define the human spirit. Indeed, some of the greatest heroes walk among us, disguised as ordinary people going about their lives. They are the caregivers who sacrifice their own comfort and well-being to care for a loved one in need. They are the frontline workers who brave the dangers of the world to serve their communities with unwavering dedication. They are the teachers who inspire and uplift the next generation, nurturing young minds with patience and wisdom. But heroes come in many forms, and their acts of courage exte

Salam.. Think, and give yourself a deep thoughts.. *** In the depths of despair, when the shadows of loneliness threaten to engulf us, it's easy to believe that we're alone in this world—that nobody cares, nobody understands. But before we surrender to such thoughts, let us pause and reflect on the profound truth encapsulated in these words: "Before you think that nobody loves you, remember that someone, somewhere, sometime, has secretly cried for you, prayed for you, sacrificed for you." Indeed, love often manifests itself in the most unexpected and unseen ways. Behind the veil of our daily struggles, there are countless souls who hold us close to their hearts, who shed tears for our pain, who offer prayers for our well-being, and who make silent sacrifices for our sake. Perhaps it's a parent who stays up late into the night, worrying and praying for our safety and success. Maybe it's a friend who offers a listening ear and a comforting presence during our da

Salam.. Reminders to be reminded upon.. *** In the pursuit of success, it's essential to remember that there are no shortcuts. True achievement is not bestowed upon us effortlessly; rather, it is earned through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Success is not found by taking the easy road or seeking quick fixes. It requires sweat, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our goals. There are no shortcuts to greatness—no magic formula or secret shortcut that will propel us to the top without putting in the necessary effort. Every triumph, every victory, is the result of countless hours of toil and determination. It's the product of late nights spent honing our craft, of setbacks overcome through sheer grit and resilience.  Success demands that we push ourselves beyond our limits, that we refuse to settle for anything less than our best. So, when faced with challenges and obstacles along the way, remember that they are not roadblocks but stepping stones on the path to succe

  Salam.. Things to wonder upon.. *** Parents, it is your sacred duty to guide your children to cover their aurah, to shield themselves with modesty and dignity.  Mothers, ensure that your own aurah is properly covered, setting a noble example for your family.  Fathers, it is your responsibility to remind your wives and children to uphold this virtue. Children, heed the advice of your parents. Listen to their counsel with respect and humility. For in the Hereafter, Allah will question whether you fulfilled your duty to remind them of this obligation. Remember, this world is but a pit stop—a fleeting moment in the grand tapestry of existence. Most of us shy away from reminders, but in the Hereafter, we will rue our neglect.  When our lives come to an end, there will be no room for regrets. We will lament our heedlessness, our disregard for the reminders that were offered to us in this life. Let us seek forgiveness and reflect on our actions. Ramadan, a time of introspection and renewal,
