Me, Tagged by Amal …………. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, As the Title says, I am tagged by Amal to write about Dangerous books. When Amal tagged me, I dint understand what been tagged actually meant,(Please understand, I was a newbie in the blogging world and wasnt familiar with every term) ………………. :-) . My dear friend Amal helped me understand it in a better way and here comes my appreciation and Thanks , Amal.

DANGEROUS BOOKS

Total Number of Books:

I don’t really remember that ,Its not that I don’t have a strong memory but its like I have lost my count …….. :-) . Since I came here I think I have read atleast 100 books (Can be more or even less) which includes novels as well as Islamic books.

Last Book I Bought :

Now that’s a question ……. !!!!!!! I haven’t bought any book till date …… :-) . I borrow books from library and regarding islamic books, I have many of them already present in my home, thanks to my Parents. So all in all I don’t Buy books.

Last Book I Read :

The Last book i read was ‘Dedication’ by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus.
NOTE : Please do not read this book ever, This is the most crappiest book i have ever read till date. Sheer waste of time ……. Dont know what were the authors thinking while writing such a story…. !!!!!!

Meaningful books I Read :

1. Our holy book - Quran with Translation, I am sure everyone agrees with me on this,isn’t it ? It is/was the most beautiful and meaningful book I have ever read till date. I at times wonderwhat a book Quran really is - It covers all the aspects of our lives , It holds information of almost everything in it.

2. The Sealed Nectar - I haven’t read it completely though, but I love this book. It showcases the entire life of our Prophet Muhammad S.A.S, and gives us an idea of the era he lived in too.Its an biography of our Prophet S.A.S by

3. Fortress of The Muslim - Here is an another book which I suggest every Muslim to buy and have it. This is a book which everyone should own. This book has a huge collection of duas that are to be recited in our daily life,includes the duas read in Namaz too.

You may now say why have i mentioned only Islamic books in Meaningful Books section. Well, The reason is this that i dont feel there is any other book Meaningful other than the books describing our religion Islam. 

What are your favourite books readers ?

Surah Al-Baqarah

I am currently reading the translation of Quran, I read it once before too, but I wanted to read it once more with more understanding, more maturity and keeping my thoughts & mind open.Reading Quran with translation expands the knowledge width of ours and helps us understand the way we should be living our lives, the way to the correct path.

I am in the Second surah of our holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The cow). It is said that this surah was named from the story of yellow heifer (Verse # 67-71),though it widely covers many topics.This surah was revealed at Al-Madeenah in the year 1 and 2 A.H, for the most part, certain verses of legislation being considered as of later date.

The verse which actually provoked me to write this post is Verse # 216 :- ” …… But it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you.Allah knoweth ,you know not.”
As soon as I read this verse, I though how true the words of Allah are. We try to base our decision on the basis of our mere likes and dislikes, giving no importance to what lies in our best interests.Strange …… But true.Afterall what do we know about what is going to help us and what is going to lead us to the wrong path. ?????

We ask Allah for many things, Everything isn’t going to benefit us,hence Allah grants us things only which can/will be beneficial for us. But when a certain prayer of us isn’t answered, a certain wish isn’t granted, we get disheartened & think that Allah is angry with us for which this wish/prayer isn’t granted/accepted. That’s the wrong way to take, We should believe in Allah and move ahead thinking that Allah has planned something much better than what we asked ,which will someday glow its charm.We cannot understand Allah’s planning, humans are not blessed with the capacity to understand it.

So, all my friends,sisters and brothers, Have faith in Allah,who has the love and affection of 70 mothers for every Muslim …….. One mother loves us so dearly, imagine what the love of 70 mothers would be like ???????

May Allah bless us all with enough wisdom and understanding, and direct us to the right path,Ameen.
