How should a Muslim get rid of bad thoughts?

When you fill your mind with materialism; bad thoughts will start settling in it. A mind or heart without God's remembrance is the right place for evil to land. I have experienced this myself when I was in Dubai. I was so astonished at what was I thinking. I, then, realized that it was due to the laziness that I had showed towards Namaz and Quran. We become soulless from the point (when) we abandon God's obediency. That's why it can be seen that the people who stay liberal (run away from religion), easily fall for vice. A practicing Muslim is therefore stronger in aspects of faith, discipline and character than others. Allah has created signs for us in this world to follow. We can now choose to pay heed towards the right, or stay ignorant till we finally meet our fate.

What should we say when a na-mehram confesses his/her love or says that he/she loves us? What should be our response?

Everyone has different ways and strategies to tackle with any situation, but let me share with you how would I deal in such cases. We humans are weak, physically and emotionally, it's the truth. When someone would say, online or face-to-face, "I love you", then I would turn her proposal down, unless it's guaranteed by her family's will. Surely it'd break her heart, but it's good to be sad than to be bad. I would then tell her that these things are not right at all, I would guide her and tell her that she's not degraded in any way by what she did and that her words will be told to no one and taken to the ground with me. Everyone should do the same, no matter the gender. When we're at the extreme, sad or fully happy, it's the best time for our soul to embrace some change. That's the absolute right time for us to adapt good.

It's the responsibility of the rich to help the poor, the literate to teach the illiterate, the mature to guide the immature. Let's recognize our responsibilities and do the small things which can play a big role in the development of a peaceful and progressive society. Let's start from around. Let's live and at the same time help others live. Let's share and be together. Whatever I say is based on total reality and not even a glimpse of imagination is added to it. My responsibility is to offer you my time, spirituality, knowledge and capabilities. The rest is onto you all. Salam and Peace.

My recently occurred bike accident

A personal blog, read only if you want to.
"My recently occurred Bike Accident."

I have been hit by a bike thrice in my life as I remember. In 2012, I was walking on the street and a biker hit me from the front. In 2016, I was on the bike with my younger brother and a person in his forties or fifties hit us from the left. In 2020, I was coming back from the market and a highly immature person hit me from the left side of the road. Alhamdulilah I have always been saved from deep or fatal injuries. I have never hit someone, because I drive in a decent manner, but others don't. And one important thing that you should know while riding a bike is that it doesn't matter if you hit someone or someone hits you; you will always get hurt. Honestly, there should be strict laws to avoid such incidents from occurring. The people in Pakistan have no training or licence. When they are on roads, on a bike or car, they act as killers in the form of unprofessional drivers. Sadly, so many people get hit everyday and most of them die or become disabled forever in life. Astagfirullah. May Allah protect every innocent. May He save us from an agonizing pain. Ameen.
 
Let me tell you the story of my 3rd accident which occurred on the 4th of November, 2020: I was sleeping peacefully as I had a holiday on Wednesday. My mother woke me up at 9 AM because she wanted me to go to the market and buy some juices. Actually, my maternal grandfather couldn't eat anything because of some medical procedure, thus he was on drinkable items only. I didn't wake up on the call, I got up 2 hours later; at about 11 AM. I put on my regular clothes. New slippers, new trousers, seasonal coat etc. I went to her and asked her that what kind of juices she wants me to bring. She told me to first eat something in breakfast, but I neither ate nor drank something. I told her that first let me bring them. I looked for the car outside the house but it was parked inside, thus I chose to go on my newly purchased bike. Even my elder brother and maternal uncle could go and bring, but it was in my fate to go. For the last few days, I was overly exhausted by the excessive load of study. I wanted some extra days off. I wanted it to happen in a natural way. Also, just the night before, I was thinking about the trials which people have to face in this life. The pain and sufferings. I prayed to God to protect me against all such phases as I'm very weak to bear them.

I went to the shop, purchased the juices and then ignited the bike to ride back. I was planning to eat something after reaching home and then start studying as I had so much to do. This time, I wanted to take a different route to home. It just came to my mind and I followed the desire. I saw someone coming from the left, so I reduced my speed and implemented the sensory road precautions to let him cross. But he was a fool, he hit me on the left side of my bike while driving in a zig zag way. I lost the balance and got dragged on the road. My right leg came under my bike, a piece of my bike broke and hurt my right foot. My both hands, on the alternate sides, got injured too. I immediately stood up, I saw my foot and the injuries. I didn't feel pain on the spot. I scolded the other rider. People came from the markets around, they knew me. Some cars and bikes also stopped to offer help. The bleeding was not stopping. I first told them that I can ride back to my home, then I realized that my injury was deep. Honestly, the people who came there were real heroes. This accident taught me many things. I will share my learnings in the end of this narrative.

I live in a town (private housing society) of Lahore city. When the incident occurred, the gardeners of the town, who were working around, came to offer help. They put all the stuff that I had bought in a new shopping bag and took care of my bike too. Some people also offered to take me to the nearest hospital but I told them that my house is nearby and my father is a doctor. The employees of the barber shop also came. They lifted and took me to a chair in front of their shop. They offered me water and something to drink. They asked me to call home using their cell phone. I remembered my brother's number. I called and said "A**** come quickly, I have met with an accident and the bleeding is not stopping". The call ended in 15 seconds. I couldn't even tell him the location of the incident. I tried to call my mother but she didn't attend. I started feeling weak because of the loss of blood. Suddenly I saw my younger brother on a bike, and then 2 further cars rushed to the scene. One was being driven by my brother and the other one by my uncle, my father was also in that car. My elder brother came out quickly from his car and put a hand on my shoulder after seeing my injuries.

The people around really aided in the best way. They showed humanity. My father sent my brother and uncle to the nearest medical store twice. I was given two injections and also he did the dressing of the wounds after cleaning them. Then, I was carried via the car to home. It's my 6th day. I have been taking bed rest since Wednesday. Alhamdulilah I'm much better and healthy. I couldn't even use my hands at first, but now I'm mostly recovered. My mother fed me in the start and all my siblings really cooperated. Some people even called me to acquire about my health. I had to revise the same story to everyone. I can't stand on my right leg right now, it may take some time. I stay on the bed all day, but yes, I'm very anxious about the loss of my studies. May Allah help me. Ameen. Whenever I have to move, recharge my phone, get water, eat or do anything; I call my youngest brother. He is acting like my nurse, he has been sleeping in my room since the incident - so that he may help me out. And the interesting part is that my maternal grandfather didn't drink the juices even when I told everyone that I spilled my blood for them. Eventually, I drank them. Fate was calling me so I ran towards it.

Let's focus on the learnings now. First of all, a life without health is full of trouble and misery. We must ask for health and safety against deadly trials always. I have felt how dependent one becomes, may Allah Almighty help those who are disabled for life. Ameen. Secondly, most of us don't stop on the road when we encounter an accident. It's entirely wrong. Humanity demands compassion and stepping up for someone. Those people who stopped their cars, who came running towards the spot and who offered help in any way; they are the gems. We must build the guts to do the same. We must not ignore or pass by. We must immediately provide the first aid. If they wouldn't come then I'd have died. Thirdly, having a doctor around is really a blessing. An engineer, businessman, shopkeeper or anyone else; no one can do what a physician can do. Respect the sincere doctors. Fourth, parents are a great blessing of Allah. They show their true selves when their children get hurt. May Allah bless the good parents. Fifth, family is also a blessing. My siblings are showing great care towards me.
 
Was I punished? Why did the accident occur? Life is a confusion. You can't always know what's happening. If you are rational like me then naturally you will question the incident, that why did it occur? Some said that a small calamity befell on you so you may be saved from a bigger one. Some said that it's a test. I said that it's a punishment from Allah for my sins. I don't know which case is true, no one can know. If He wants to punish me then He has infinite reasons to do so; cause I am a big time sinner. If He wants to protect me from a calamity then He could do so without inflicting me with even the pain of a needle. Some also said that He wanted to make you strong. And some said that He gave you a relief from your hectic life. He could make me strong in an easy way too. He could give me a relief in a better way too. In short, this life is a confusion because you can't usually understand why things happen the way they do. May Allah help me become a better Muslim. He knows everything that I say, have said or can't say. If you have read it this far then it is a request to you to pray for me. Jazakalah Khair. I summarized many points to shorten the length of this narrative.

Online Donation Box by Ahmed Mac and Emerging Ummah

"In the name of Allah, most gracious, most compassionate."

Assalam-u Alaikum everyone! 😊
I'm starting a new campaign today. May Allah add His blessings in my efforts and idea. Today is Friday as well.

I have always desired to earn that much so I may never need to request anybody to donate for a cause but contribute all the sufficiency on my own. It is my dream too. But it has not been possible so far. I donate whatever I can, but my heart stays unsatisfied. As a Muslim and human, we should help each other in every way possible. I wanted to initiate a similar campaign many times, but there were certain obstacles in my way. I did not want to ask people to donate for a cause as I know how much everyone is attached to materialistic benefits (wealth) and that may even make them think highly negative about me. That is why I've always felt hesitation in doing it.

Whenever I see someone begging or working hard but not being able to afford the living, it breaks my heart. If there would be justice, humanity and unity among us then nobody would had to suffer, feel guilty or endure such situations. But unluckily, we people are divided so much that our hearts have stopped beating for others. May Allah Almighty show all of us the right path and help us repent. Ameen. Now, let's come to the main objective that I want to share with you and request your two wayed (financial and social) support for it. It has been some years since I have dedicated a box for my charitable money. I give out at least two percent of every amount that I get from anywhere, unless I've to pay a loan or buy something.

I am a student and do not earn. But it does not stop me from doing things that are in my capacity. By giving out money and other important things which we value a lot, we get to free ourselves from the shackles of this life and its delusions. It means that we prefer Allah over the wealth we own. It increases us in humility, wisdom, compassion, love and gratitude. The same technique can be applied by you. One person can not change history. Everyone will have to work together in order to fight the wrong and unjust factors. That is the reason why I am starting this project. I have recently felt my limitations when a poor sister from Balochistan was in dire need to pay her university fee but I couldn't do much for her.

By working together, we can do better than what a single person can achieve. I am not asking you to do something that you don't afford to. I am asking you to do everything that you are capable to do right now. Even if you can charity ten rupee every year, it is acceptable. It must stay clear to you that I, Ahmed Mac, have no personal gains from this; other than earning good deeds. Whoever you are and whether you earn or not; it does not matter. But yes, if you cannot trust a source like me online then it is not an issue. Give charity by your own hands then. It is not about me. Like that sister needs thousands to pay her semester fee but a single person, especially a student, can not contribute to fill the whole requirement.

But if many believe in a network then they can do it altogether and things can get easy than becoming humiliation. The goal is to collect preserved donations and help others mannerly. There are millions of charity organizations in this world. Nobody can do for all. But in this case, take the example of mosques. There are almost infinite mosques in this world and their monetarily resources are also set. Subhan Allah. It means that there is always a capacity for another organization or mosque. This project is based as a small online headquarter. Let me tell you how this system will function: A WhatsApp account and a group are setup to start our journey.

Everyone who is interested to be a member or supporter of this project can get connected to this WhatsApp account. If the participator has no issue in being a member of the created group then he/she can also join it. Those who think that they can not be of much help can also get connected in order to support this idea. In the group, latest about the collected fund and its consumption will be shared (total amount left in the charity box, amount spent on a particular purpose etc). People can invite their friends and family to the group. This project needs every support that you can offer. You must share about it with everyone you know online and in real life.

WhatsApp Account: +92-345-0741-485

I am open to suggestions and new members joining in. I am doing it for humanity and due to my religion Islam. May Allah be pleased by what we do to please Him. May He accept our repentance (Tauba) and help us walk on the path of success. Ameen. If you have any questions or doubts then use the provided contact number for information. While texting for the first time, kindly attach your name in the message. I hope that I was able to portray the reflection of this campaign. It is an "online donation box" which will use the collection for the welfare of humanity. Not everyone will read this posting thoroughly, that's why don't just forward the link but also share this campaign in your own words with others. Jazakalah. Salam and Peace.

Life of a Muslim

Life of a Muslim is very difficult. Know that Islam is not as hard as people around us are. When we are doing the wrong, nobody cares to correct us or become attentive towards our wrongdoings. But when we start becoming better and do good things, people start criticizing our past and present instead of admiring our efforts or intentions.

For them, it is not normal to be a good Muslim or human. If you do not adapt foul language, they will make you feel extremely bad for it. If you do not enjoy unethical jokes, you will be cornered by everyone. This is how they deal with us. And after these events, it's spontaneous and impulsive for any of us to get deluded or to become rigid. 

Many extremists come into play because of this reason. They see so many wrong things occurring, they try to stop it, and eventually they become so upset that they get detracted. There are many Muslims around us who are very strict, but once they were normal too. Society snatched away their innocence, so they put a lock on themselves and sealed every corner; to stop influential air from reaching in.

It is also important to know that in order to be a good Muslim with firm beliefs, we need knowledge and experience. You must have sufficient knowledge to battle inside and outside against criticism. It often happens that when someone argues with us, we defend ourselves from the outside, but from the inside; we get affected. Our mental peace gets disturbed by their sayings. So, basic knowledge is crucial. 

There are many people who know a lot about religions and especially Islam, but even after having such a blessing, they don't follow Islam properly. Allah has said often in Quran that we shouldn't get impressed by someone's wealth or skills, these things should not make us feel inferior. Allah can bless anyone with anything. Many people talk about God and His power, but at the same time, they enjoy immoral chat and conversations with others. At that point we can say that Iblees won and they lost.

Never forget what our base is! We are destined to rule and preach. We are blessed and bestowed with the basic nature of a human: care, love, loyalty, wisdom, maturity and what not. We have to feel neither superior nor inferior. Very few Muslims are alive today. 

There are many who call themselves a Muslim, but they don't follow Islam completely. Maybe they are still unable to win the fight against their ego. Maybe they have given up or made a compromise at some point. Whatever the reason may be, they don't represent the real picture of a Muslim. The reality of a Muslim's life is totally by Quran and Sunnah. Muslims do not ignore others. They cannot be ruled by the oppressors. There can be no beggars around Muslims. In a Muslim world, injustice doesn't go unanswered. 

In reality, today Muslims have become strangers of this world, people take them in the sense of aliens. They have become rare; almost non-existing. They are put under pressure because they try to represent humanity and care. They are dealt with extreme exercises, because everyone is jealous of their natural hold and power to promote quality of life.

Let’s recall the sacrifices that our ancestors made for us. Let’s remember the martyrs of wars. At least they all died with dignity. At least they stood up against immorality and injustice unlike us; we just mixed up and forgot what our real values are. We let evil and coward forces to rule and command us. We let them shape our lives and hurt our Muslim fellows. 

Our life is just for us and that is why it is a total waste. Our sisters in Islam, let’s remind ourselves of their sorrows and pain. Many of them couldn’t live, because we, as their brothers, were busy in enjoyment. They were killed and raped. They had to endure all that because of our laziness. There are still many of our sisters in other countries, they are being raped! They commit suicide, because yes, we don’t care. 

The truth is that we don’t deserve this life and not even a good end on the day of resurrection. We are dead from the inside, our hearts are dead. A real Muslim would always fight for his woman, and while doing that, his life would be of no value to him as compared to the dignity of his woman. A real Muslim’s blood boils when he sees wrong!

Being a Muslim is not a crime, it is a blessing. But evil world wants us to suffer, so should we? You are weak today because your faith is weak. You divided yourselves. You forgot about following the commandments of God. When you stop obeying God, nature stops obeying your power to rule. You become empty, you are strong only when Allah is with you. It is not only you who suffer for your mischiefs and ignorance; nations suffer for that!

Each one of us play a part to create this society. The world and the entire universe is made by Allah, but He gave us the permission to plant things. It is upto us if we do well or unwell. Because of our ancestors’ faults; we are suffering. And because of our faults; our next generations will have to suffer. We must prepare a soft ground for them. We must work hard to provide them a good and safe environment. 

We live and die of course, so why not live the life of a good human. We have to leave a good structure before our departure; for others. Our prayers go unanswered because we are not being full time Muslims, we are hence treated like others, at least partially. Our actions determine our strength and capability. We are nothing without God’s promise!

Images Of Life - Online Cases - Journey To Truth

A lot of sisters online do complain about men harassing them. I condemn these actions and I would appreciate punishment for such people who make others' lives miserable. But these things are normal, they occur. The world doesn't just contain good souls, there are bad people too. Instead of getting afraid, you should learn to fight the circumstances and evil. Can someone punch you through internet? Can someone hurt you in any way through the internet? No, unless you allow them to reach you. On internet, you have the choice to block anyone's path from reaching you. You can choose to ignore anyone and you can even report them to related communities.

But immaturity is on its rise for so long. These sisters first bring down their barriers and let every man pass, then they get frank with them, and then this happens. You allow such things. Most of the women on internet even flirt and when they are tired, they play their woman-card to humiliate and get rid of the other person. Yes, all women are not nobel too. Everyone knows and understands everything, no one just wants to follow. They want to be liberal and free. Ok then, stay like that and deserve what you plant. Your actions are your plantations. You will taste the fruit of your doings. You have no right to complain, you actually deserve criticism for your actions and weight.

I see men online complimenting every female user they spot. They have saved templates, and they send it to all periodically. They try different tactics to win a girl's trust and attention. They try on everyone and just wait for the right prey to trap. They are experienced. They first flatter, admire and then they get acquainted. After that they confess their fake love, they take advantages and then they go away in search of another prey; another hunt. Now here, women don't deserve any sympathy. They went for the wrong and they got the outcome. They deceived their parents and put their dignity at stake. This is the least of the punishments they must get. They were told all this but they didn't care. They thought that nothing could shake their ground. They were wrong from the start. So, they suffer.

The truth is bitter. When you turn away from religion and start thinking that you can plan your life better than your Creator, then of course this all starts to happen. Modernity dissolves the common intellect. Liberty shrinks the mind capacity to decide well. Not everyone gets a second chance. Once you go for the wrong, you become impure. There is no coming back then. God may forgive but people don't. Their taunts will always haunt you. Majority of the readers here are impure, there is no going back for them. So if by chance, you happened to be a pure soul, then use the opportunity of the current moment to plan the protection for yourself in the future. Know that dignity is the real value of life. Nothing can buy or replace this precious ornamental capacity. You must prepare yourself.

I can't help you, only you can help yourself. I can just show you the way/path that I know and see, after that it's you who has to walk over that. This is your life and it is a mystery which will unleash spirits of many sorts during the flight. You must tackle with every situation in a proper, well-mannered and adequate way. You must never compromise on your moral values. Remember that money can be re-earned, but these elements can never be re-attained. You must understand your worth. You cannot become someone's lust or timepass. You are more than that. You are of great value. It's also your moral duty to save others. You cannot put your parents' respect at risk for your temporary joy or satisfaction. You will age.

I don't write to make others read the truth. I write to make others feel it through the feelings I create by my words. I care for your Akhirah even if you don't want me to. On that day, you will say that no one came to guide you. You are the one who ignores people like me trying to help you evolve into someone better. It is our duty to save others from hellfire, even those who don't want to be saved. We try, we have to. We have to satisfy our qualm. You all are my brothers and sisters, I'll care about you even if you don't care about me. God has made us one, we all started from one man and woman. We all are family. We must not forsake our duty to be one and stand as one.

This strict attitude is a result of the care I have in my heart for you. You have forgotten your true colors and that's why everything is delusional enough to make you forget your true identity. You are more than this, you don't have to forget that. Be good, be humble and be kind. Do not lose your morals. Do not lose your humanity. This fun will not last forever. My strictness is for those who still feel something in their hearts. This world is a disaster. Just come back. Just stick around good people who may incite and propagate piousness in the shape of righteousness. God is all forgiving, you should seek Him. Do not waste the time. Just keep pushing and fight what's wrong. May God protect, guide, help and bless you throughout the way. Ameen.

Daraz is refunding every user accidentally

Daraz is Pakistan’s top online market where customers can purchase products and get delivery of their items within a week or less.

The service is available all over Pakistan and also in some other countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.


Very recently, few of the active users noticed that when they go for the procedure to refund a product from the Daraz App, they get the money transferred to their account’s wallet in a second without having to deliver the product back to the company.

It seems that Daraz team has not yet discovered the flaw in their application.



Daraz was purchased by Alibaba Group very last year. The irresponsible behavior started right after that. Some say that Alibaba Corporation is diverting the audience and upsetting the customers by providing fragile-work to decrease the competition and to bring forward AliExpress in the market.

Alibaba Group is an e-commerce giant which has the heart to absorb such small loses for a better future of their real market value in Pakistan.


AliExpress is one of the main giants by Alibaba and resembles Daraz as it also offers online shopping facility.

It’s believed that Daraz management knows about the error and yet they feel easy to not resolve it for a while. Let’s see what happens next!

In just 50$ you can have your own blogging site to represent you or your company

People these days do not understand the advantages of using Internet resources. They should know that these means were devised to help expand their reach; and of their businesses. It's easy to evolve, all you need to do is take the right steps with care.

Here's how you can get a working and professional blog on Blogger or WordPress in just 50



Before anything, you need to understand the difference between Blogger.com and WordPress.com, and also between a Blog and a Website.

"Blogger.com" vs "WordPress.com"

  • Google offers the feature to create free blogs and without the need of any purchase. You can create a blog easily with hundreds of available widgets (contact forms, calendars, translators etc). We know Google Corporation, they always do something unique. And with that logic, they have named their blogging facility as Blogger.
  • WordPress is a quite different area. Their setups are strong and dynamic, but it's difficult to manage their preferences. They have given many facilities and many cool themes. But many of the premium features are not available to free users. This is when Google outstands and outranks WordPress.


Now should we prefer Google or WordPress?

It totally depends upon your need. You should go and check out some of the blog users on both platforms. And then you should make a decision. People usually prefer WordPress for artwork and Blogger for profiling; like business profiles.


Difference between a Blog and a Website

A Blog is a platform where a user can practice many things like on the Website, but yet there are limitations which cannot be overcomed. All Blogging sites offer different functionalities. Blogs are easy to handle and create. Blogs are totally free of cost, except if you want to update to the premium class. Amateur artists and writers usually take a start at a Blogging site. Blogs feel like pets in real!

A website requires a domain and a hosting service. They are very difficult to install for an amateur. They often lack proper security tactics which results in data loss and other damages. Whatever you see online, it's done on the Websites. A Website is always ahead of a Blog and nothing can beat its level. But still, a Website is not free. You need to pay every year for its domain and hosting.

Now how to get a working Blog in 50$?



Amastran NET is an online agency which offers many resembling services like the creation of a professional Blog. You can simply go, detail the project and get the quotation for your requirements. You can also hire one of their employees for personal services. It's one of their great business functionality that their remote workers and associates; all team up to fire the performances.

They usually offer a multi-functional and easy-to-use blog on any Blogging platform in just about 50$.
