ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ Self-Sacrifice

--
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL
- ~ - ~ -
Those who think that life is restricted to this earthly life do not
put themselves out for others unless they stand to get something out
of it, and they will not take the initiative to help someone in need.
This is because they do not realise that we will receiveperfect
recompense in the afterlife for the good and the evil we have done in
this world. In some verses of the Qur'an, Allah draws our attention to
their perverse way of thinking:
Truly man was created headstrong in greed. (Surat al-Ma'arij: 19)
Have you seen him who turns away and gives little, and that
grudgingly? (Surat an-Najm: 33-34)
As for those who are tight-fisted and direct others to be
tight-fisted, and hide the bounty Allah has given them, We have
prepared a humiliating punishment for those who disbelieve. (Surat
an-Nisa': 37)
A person must rid himself of the selfishness and meanness of his self.
In this regard, our Lord reveals the following:
So have taqwa of Allah, as much as you are able to, and listen and
obey and spend for your own benefit. It is the people who are
safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful.
(Surat at-Taghabun: 16)
For this reason, a person who lives according to theteachings of the
Qur'an will avoid selfishness and make an effort during the day to
share what he owns with others around him. For example, he will take
pleasure in sharing his food with someone who is hungry. He will
happily give prized possessions to someone whose need for them is
greater than his own. He will give whatever is surplus to his needs to
theneedy (Surat al-Baqara: 219). He knows that he will receive a
greater reward for it in the afterlife. In the Qur'an, Allah shows us
the exemplary behaviour in this regard of the Companions of our
Prophet:
Those who were alreadysettled in the abode, andin faith, before they
came, love those who have emigrated to them and do not find in their
hearts any need for whatthey have been given and prefer them to
themselves even if they themselves are needy. It is the people who are
safeguarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful.
(Surat al-Hashr: 9)
Believers take delight in the knowledge that their act of
self-sacrifice has made someone else happy. They live with the inner
peace of mind that comes from acting out of agood conscience and
knowing that Allah is pleased. Even when they themselves are in need,
they will give up their own rights without a thought. They will never
mention their act of self-sacrifice, they will not behave in order to
be praised or singled out and they will try to make the other party
not feel obliged because of the favour they have done./

Allah is near to Human

--
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL
- ~ - ~ -
Many people think Allah is far away. However, as stated in the Qur'an,
"...Surely your Lord encompasses the peoplewith His knowledge..."
(Surat al-Isra': 60), He is very near. He sees and knows every aspect
of a human being, and hears every word he utters. He isknowledgeable
of even one's inner thoughts. This is related in the Qur'an as
follows:
We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Surah Qaf: 16)
Allah is so near to man that He hears the prayer ofeveryone-even if he
prays inwardly-and it is He Who answers it:
If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the
caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and
believe in Me so thathopefully they will be rightly guided. (Surat
al-Baqara: 186)
Allah knows what a person harbours in his heart. He knows whether he
engages in a deed to earn His consent, or to satisfy his own lower
soul.Allah reminds us that He knows our inner thoughts:
...Know that Allah knowswhat is in your selves, sobeware of Him! And
know that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. (Surat al-Baqara:
235)
Though you speak out loud, He knows your secrets and what is evenmore
concealed. (Surat Ta Ha: 7)
Allah's Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) also reminded Muslims that when they prayed Allah is very
close to them by saying, "You are calling a Hearer, One very close by;
The One Who you are calling is closer to each one of you."(Al-Bukhari
and Muslim)
As He is with you at every moment, Allah is with you as you are
reading this article; He sees what you are doing and knows whatyou are
thinking. This fact is related in the Qur'an as follows:
Do you not see that Allahknows what is in the heavens and on the
Earth? Three men cannotconfer together secretly without Him being the
fourth of them, or five without Him being the sixth of them, or fewer
than that or more without Him being with them wherever they are. Then
He will inform them on the Day of Resurrection of what they did. Allah
has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Mujadala: 7)/

stressful world lifestyle related maladies are on therise. She said
that people are not aware of many of them.

destination has been chosen as the venue for the event as the presence
of a large numberof tourists would facilitate a wider reach of the
message.
Among those who participated were the Superintendent of Police

In an interaction that followed the consensus of a panel of experts
was thatdigestive health can be protected through proper life style
management, exercise, shunning of junk food and consumption of
adequate quantity of water.

determines the quality of life and said that owing to changing
lifestyles even children are now suffering due to health problems like
constipation.
Coimbatore based expert Mohan Prasad said that lifestyle changes have
increased the number of reflux cases and also made obesity common. He
underscored the need for good sleep in the night.
Mohammed Ali, an expert from Chennai, said that a major contributory
factor for gastrointestinal disorders was the growing preference for
fast food. People should eat to live and not the other way round.
Venkatakrishnan, another expert from Coimbatore, listed the benefits
of exercise.
N.Anandamurthy, an Ooty based physician said that since the number of
diabetes and hypertension cases was quite high in theNilgiris every
patient with gastrointestinal symptoms is also checked for cardiac
problems as a measure of precaution. He added that alcohol abuse was
high on the list of causes for gastrointestinal problems.
Sheela Nambiar, a Fitness and Life Style expert, said that the role of
physical exercise was very important. She added that mere walking was
not enough.
A composite programme is needed to deal with such problems. K.

the right time andone should consume at least two litres of water in
small quantities./
