at-Tazkirah: التذكرة

“And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers.” (51:55)

About التذكرة

All praise be to Allah through whose Grace all righteousness is completed. May mercy and peace be upon the most virtuous of all creatures, Hadhrat Muhammadur Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and mercy also be upon his family, his companions and followers until the day of Reckoning.

The purpose of this Blog isn’t to teach someone his Deen (religion), rather it’s to remind myself and others of “La Ilaha Illallah – Muhammadur Rasulullah” and everything this Kalimah contains.

Thus I’ve decided to rename the Blog from “True Life’s Blog” to “at-Tazkirah: التذكرة“, which literally means “the reminder”. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala himself says in the Holy Qur’an,

“And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers.” (51:55)

So, with the niyyat (intention) of following this divine command I’m posting on this Blog.

Because of their excellent way of handling both, the internal states and affairs (Tasawwuf, Islah-e-Nafs etc.) and the external ones (Fiqh, Masa’il etc.) at the same time without going into any extremes, myself prefers the Deobandi-minhaj. Insha’Allah, we all will benefit from these pious Akaabir, ‘Ulama-e-Haqq and their sacrifices for this Ummah amd Deen-e-Islam.

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala grant me Ikhlas, Istiqamat, Husn-e-Akhlaq and plant real love for Him and His Habib Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) in my heart! Ameen.

    Salaam brother/sister.

    Please can you explain to me what the “Deobandi” School is? What is its history? Do you have a Sufi tariqa? Like Chistiyya, Naqshbandiyyah, Qadiriyyah…?

    Also, where can I learn more about it?

    Please forgive my ignorance, may ALLAH reward you well.

    Wa Alaykumus Salam,

    Read the following post: Deobandi school of thought.

    I’m yet without a Shaykh or Silsila but am planning to make baya’at to a Shaykh of the Chishti-Imdadiyya-Ashrafiyya tariqa – Insha’Allah.

    http://annoor.wordpress.com/
    http://www.ashrafiya.com/

    That are really good sources to learn about the science of purifying one’s soul, next to the Tasawwuf category on this Blog.

    Make Du’a for me.

    Assalamualaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

    I am sending this message to as many of the WordPress blogs that are geared towards promoting Islam. It may or may not have come to your attention but many if not all of the authentic sunni blogs fail to add the “Islam” tag to their articles.

    Only deviated sects/anti-islamic blogs seem to be adding the tag of Islam to their articles/posts. As a result of that when one does a search of articles on Islam only those blogs are seen. Click on the link below and see for yourself:

    http://wordpress.com/tag/islam/

    I recommend that you add the Islam tag to all your articles to counteract this. Maybe adding a “Religion” tag too might be a good idea also. Add the Islam tag atleast and then you could add the tag for the specific subject matter, “Quran” for example.

    Some of you may be wondering that your particular blog is suited just for Muslims; but in my humble opinion – it does not matter and it shouldn’t really be a cause for concern.

    wal-Allahu a’lam

    wassalam

    PS
    Please circulate this within you blogroll insha- Allah.

    Forgive me for contacting you in this manner, I dont have your email add.

    As-salaamu Alaykum,

    Dear Brother,

    I am sending you below the link of the new articles by Harun Yahya. I would appreciate if you have the means to include and publish these at your website:

    http://harunyahya.com/articles/essentials_ahlalsunnah.php
    http://harunyahya.com/articles/virtue_of_prayer.php

    As you know, Harun Yahya’s works are followed by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world and readers confirm that the author’s books and articles have provided them the opportunity to submit to Islam. Also, others comment that their belief in Allah has strengthened by means of his works.

    We would indeed be pleased if you could contribute to communicating the author’s works to more people.

    If you could please inform me when you publish the articles and send me the related link, I will be happy to review it.

    May Allah reward you for your efforts in Islam.

    Salaam,
    Salih Donmez

    AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR UMRAH PILGRIMS FOR USE OF MOBILE PHONE (CELLULAR) IN AL-HARAM AL-SHARIF’S

    LABBAIK ALLAH UMMA LABBAIK
    LABBAIK LAA SHAREEKA LAKA LABBAIK INNAL HAMDA WAN-NI’MATA LAKA WAL MULK LAA SHAREEKA LAK

    Respectable Umrah Pilgrims

    As’Salâm Alaikum Wa’Rahmatullâhi Wa’Barakâtuh

    By the grace of Almighty Allah you shall soon be traveling for performing Umrah. Surely you shall take care of the sacredness of Harmain Shareefain (Makkah Al Mukarama and Madina Al Munawara). In this regard we request you to remove Musical Ring Tones from your mobile (Cellular) phones before departure and during Umrah try to keep your mobile phones on Vibrators/Silent. By this you shall be avoiding any disturbance to your worship as well as to the worships of other pilgrims and furthermore the sacredness of Harmain Shareefain shall not be harmed. We hope that you shall put heed to this request and shall convey this message to other pilgrims as well. May Allah Subhanawatallah accept your Umrah. Ameen

    السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

    نرجو منكم التكرم بعدم استخدام النغمات الموسيقية في جوالكم (موبايل) خلال أداء مشاعر العمرة، وتواجدكم بالحرمين الشريفين، بل حذفها نهائياً من الجوال. ووضع الجوال في حالة الاهتزاز/ صامت قدر المستطاع، أو إغلاقه خلال تواجدكم بالحرمين الشريفين. حتى لا يقع أي خلل في عبادتكم وعبادة بقية المعتمرين. والمحافظة على تقدس الحرمين الشريفين. نتمنى منكم العمل بهذا الرجاء، وتبليغه إلى بقية المعتمرين. تقبل الله منكم عمرتكم وندعو سبحانه وتعالى أن تكون عمرة مبرورة، وسعيا مشكورا، وذنبا مغفورا (أمين).
    والسلام عليكم

    Assalamualykum,

    I pray you are in good health and Imaan. I wanted to advise you to submit your site for free to http://www.topmuslimblogs.com/. It will enable you to increase your pagerank on search engines, like Google, Yahoo and Live. It will certainly increase your site hits and activity, meaning your blog posts will be read by many more Muslims and Non-Muslims around the world.

    Please do take full advantage of this service as I am sure you know Muslim bloggers presense on the Internet is very small due to their hesitancy to promote their blog or carry out any other marketing strategies.

    If you need any assistance, feel free to email me.
