Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing away of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.
He has left us as one big family to stay united and work for the cause of dawah. Please do dua.

It is a law of nature that no difficulty goes on and on forever. So, you have to feed this simple formula into your thinking: ‘It is all but temporary’.
Aim of Fasting:
The aim of fasting during Ramadan is to diminish a person's dependence on material things, so that he may elevate himself to a higher plane of devout living.
The purpose of marriage is not to find a playmate, but a worthy life partner. And the best life partner is one who possesses inner beauty, not just outward beauty.
If man feeds only the material side of his personality, he will always suffer from feelings of deprivation. But if he feeds the spiritual side of his personality along with the material side, he will not suffer from such feelings of deprivation.
When you fail in your life, take it as a result of lack of planning. So, in such situations, try to do re-planning and you will certainly reach success.
Fasting is not just a matter of temporarily enduring hunger and thirst; it is a lesson in the permanent practice of patience and tolerance throughout one’s entire life.
If you were not successful in the first chance, it should not dishearten you because there may be a second chance waiting for you that may prove to be better than the first chance.
If you fail in the first instance, then try to avail of the second or the third opportunity, and so on. There is no full stop to opportunities – only commas.
Without challenge man becomes stagnant, and with challenge he becomes dynamic. It is challenge that motivates people to go ahead to achieve on their own what they did not receive as inheritance.
Maulana has left behind him wisdom which will guide us today and tomorrow. It will help us prepare to meet God. Because there is no coming back. There is no second chance. So, strive hard with your all to live a Hereafter oriented life.
Fasting is performed in order to reduce man’s materialism and increase his spirituality, so that he may be able to lead a truly spiritual life in this world.
People are free to use their freedom as they please, if you disagree with the point of view of someone, you can express your views in a rational manner; you must try to address their minds.
A society which places curbs on freedom of expression will necessarily witness intellectual stagnation; it will stop producing creative minds, and its development will come to a standstill.
It is common for people to become negative when they undergo an unwanted experience. They forget the ninety nine percent positive items they still have in their life, and let the one percent negative item prevail.
In matters of criticism or expression of differences, the right approach is for people to end unnecessary sensitivity to it instead of attempting to put an end to criticism and differences.
When you accept your mistake, you correct yourself and save yourself from living in falsehood. When a person discovers this fact, accepting his mistake will become a very pleasant deed for him.
Fasting is not just a matter of temporarily enduring hunger and thirst; it is a lesson in the permanent practice of patience and tolerance throughout one’s entire life.
Sense of incompleteness in human nature is in itself a good tiding. It tells us that a day will come when man will surely enjoy the experience of completeness, that is, in eternal Paradise.
Our world is a dual world – a world of things, a world of meanings. When one raises oneself to a level where material things become secondary; and inner meanings become of prime importance, then one is a spiritual person.
A happy life can only be achieved in unhappy conditions. You cannot change the world, but you can manage your thinking in order to become happy in this world.
A feeling of contentment enables a person to rise above trivialities and live in the higher realities. In short, he practices simple living and high thinking.
It is a natural fact that with every negative point there is a plus point, with every negative experience, there is a positive experience. Try to discover the second face of the coin and you will certainly be happy.
