  How to Perform Hajj Step by Step: The Complete Guide for Every Muslim (Part 2) Step 7: Spend the Night in Muzdalifah After sunset on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims leave the Plain of Arafat and travel to Muzdalifah without performing Maghrib prayer on the way. Upon arriving, they pray Maghrib and Isha together , following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Pilgrims spend the night under the open sky, remembering Allah, making dua, and reflecting on the blessings of completing one of the most important stages of Hajj. Before leaving Muzdalifah the next morning, pilgrims collect 49 or 70 small pebbles (depending on how many days they will remain in Mina). These pebbles will later be used for the ritual of Ramy , the symbolic stoning of the pillars representing Satan.

                                  بے چینی سے سکون تک: قرآن کا نسخہ *بے چینی سے سکون تک: قرآن کا نسخہ رات کے 2 بجے ہیں۔ کمرہ خاموش ہے۔ دنیا سو رہی ہے۔ لیکن آپ کا دل؟ وہ بھاگ رہا ہے۔ کبھی ماضی میں، کبھی مستقبل کے خوف میں۔ موبائل سکرول کر لیا، دوستوں سے بات کر لی، نیٹ فلکس دیکھ لیا۔ لیکن وہ خلا؟ وہ ختم نہیں ہوا۔ یہ خلا کیا ہے ؟   یہ اللہ سے دوری کا خلا ہے۔ 1400 سال پہلے ایک کتاب نازل ہوئی۔ اس نے کہا تھا:   وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا`   "اور جو میرے ذکر سے منہ موڑے گا، اس کی زندگی تنگ کر دی جائے گی" [سورہ طہ: 124] آج ہم اسی "تنگ زندگی" کا علاج قرآن سے ڈھونڈیں گے۔ یہ کوئی عام تقریر نہیں۔ یہ آپ کے ٹوٹے ہوئے دل کے لیے نسخہ ہے۔ *باب اول: بے سکونی کی جڑ کہاں ہے؟ * ہم سمجھتے ہیں پیسہ نہیں تو سکون نہیں۔ نوکری نہیں تو سکون نہیں۔ لیکن کروڑ پتی بھی ڈپریشن کی گولی کھاتا ہے۔ کیوں؟ ام غزالیؒ فرماتے ہیں: "انسان کا دل ایک پرندے کی طرح ہے۔ اس کے 2 پر ہیں - محبت اور ...

Role of woman in Islam

Image
Introduction When people talk about the role of women in Islam, the conversation often gets mixed with culture, politics, and stereotypes. But to understand it properly, we have to go back to the original sources: the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, along with 1400 years of Islamic history. Islam came in 7th century Arabia, a time and place where women had very limited rights. Female infanticide was practiced, women could not inherit, and they had almost no legal standing. The message of Islam changed that foundation completely. It gave women a distinct spiritual identity, legal rights, and social responsibilities that were revolutionary for that era and remain relevant today. This article explains the role of women in Islam from four angles: spiritual, educational, familial, and social. The goal is to present what Islam actually teaches, not what individuals or cultures practice in the name of Islam. 1. Spiritual Equality: The Foundation In Islam, the r...
