I recite this to improve my memory – Dr Zakir Naik

A medical doctor by professional training, Dr. Zakir Naik is renowned as a dynamic international orator on Islam and Comparative Religion. Dr. Zakir Naik clarifies Islamic viewpoints and clears misconceptions about Islam, using the Qur’an, authentic Hadith and other religious Scriptures as a basis, in conjunction with reason, logic and scientific facts.

I often use to ask myself that how this man can have such a wonderful memory subhanAllah!!! I got my answer when in one of his speeches a man asked this question and he gave this answer. “I recite this dua for improving my memory” Surah Taha, verse 25-28

 

Do good and people will follow you

In Islam it’s considered a sign of respect to give your place to elder people if there is no place for them to sit. “Do good and people will follow you” heard this statement all my childhood but yesterday saw practical demonstration of it and loved it. As a Muslim it’s our duty to follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and also influence others to follow them because it’s the only way to lead a successful life here and life after death.

This incident took place when I was coming back to my home from office. I was traveling in bus which was full of passengers so there was no place to sit. An aged man gets into the bus but since there was no place to sit he preferred standing right at the door. After few minutes a young man offered his place to the old man. Now this young man was standing; few stops later place was again empty and young man sat there. After two stops again an aged man entered the bus and again this young man offered his place to the old man.  Place was empty on the next spot and young man sat there.

 

In the name of Allah

In every religion it’s considered a good sign to start anything with the name of GOD. This is my first post and I am starting it with Bismillah (In the Name of Allah); a blessed phrase is a mark of Islam, one constantly recited by all creatures through their tongues of disposition. May Allah guide us all to the right path (Ameen).
