-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn 'Abbas RA : The mother of Sad bin 'Ubada RA died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Apostle PBUH!

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

Trade - 9th Shawwal 1433 (27th August 2012)

Narrated 'Aisha (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "If a woman gives in
charity from her house meals without wasting (i.e. being extravagant), she
will get the reward for her giving, and her husband will also get the
reward for his earning and the storekeeper will also get a similar reward.
The acquisition of the reward of none of them will reduce the reward of the
others."

Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 279

keep_mailing The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Muslims

Yes, this book is great; The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People® as it has inspired millions of lives across the globe; includes me!

The title triggered me to search and read about Seven Habits of Highly Effective Muslims, I googled it but couldn't find any results although I found 7 habits of Bloggers, Christians, Catholics, Churches, Missionaries, Teachers and Believers which have been well thought and well written. This saddened me but at the same time initiated a thought process to come up with Seven Habits of Highly Effective Muslim. When I say effective that means a Muslim is having a positive and constructive EFFECT on himself/herself and also on the society; the society which comprises all kinds of humans regardless of any condition of religion, skin-color, nation and country.

When I compiled the list of 7 habits, I decided to split them in to two groups INTERNAL EFFECT and EXTERNAL EFFECT. I put Four Habits under INTERNAL EFFECT group and 3 Habits in EXTERNAL EFFECT category. By 'Internal Effect' I mean that these habits are impacting at the individual level and by 'External Effect' I mean that these habits if adapted by a Muslim will have a positive effect on society. However, the INTERNAL EFFECT Habits form the basis of EXTERNAL EFFECT hence all 7 habits are critically important.

INTERNAL EFFECT:

1. Habit of COMPLIANCE: A Muslim, by all means, is supposed to comply with the mandatory requirements of Islam. This covers but not limited to Prayers, Zakat, Hajj, Fasting and belief in Allah & the Day of Judgment. A Highly Effective Muslim clearly understands that these pillars of Islam teach us several lessons which eventually have Effect on the Muslim himself and then on society both. For example, Hajj teaches the lesson of patience which is need of the hour considering the psychological conditions of the society. Zakat teaches the lesson to take care for others by financial means. Fasting teaches us to have control on desires. So all these mandatory things result in super-positive Effect on a muslim's personality.

2. HABIT OF SELF AUDIT: This habit makes a Muslim a Convicted (Mujrim) and the Judge at the same time. An Effective Muslim keeps auditing himself, specially at the end of each day. He asks himself several questions before he sleeps, for example, whatMajor sins I did today. Did I do lie, back-biting, harshness with parents, fraud, stealing, abuse, deceive, alcohol and/or illegal sex. In case the answer for any question is yes then he performs Touba. The process of Touba purifies a Muslim's thoughts and indirectly improves his personality by taking out all bad habits. To develop the habit of Audit, an Effective Muslim always remember his death and always remember that he is going to be answerable for his deeds which he is doing every second in this world since every single activity is being recorded by Almighty.

3. HABIT OF HONESTY: The Effective Muslim is always honest, honest at home, honesty at office, honest in every single deed he does. He is honest in earning, he is honest in paying tax, honest in treating people, honest in all kind of financial matters, honest in judging people and resolving conflicts. He loves people and use things; not vice versa. This quality cleanse his heart, mind and soul. The article written by Junaid Tahir (mjunaidtahir at gmail dot com)

4. HABIT OF DIFFERENTIATING HALAL-HARAM: An effective Muslim clearly understands the difference between Halal (allowed or lawful) and Haram (forbidden). He understands that Halal is not limited to eating only rather the concept of Halal-Haram is applicable to every aspect of life. He understands that if he earns money by illegal ways (financial frauds, by lying, by deceitful ways, by not giving his energies to his job as per the company's requirements) then his earning is not pure. He stays away from all Haram things.

EXTERNAL IMPACT:

5. HABIT OF GOOD MANNERS (Ikhlaqiat): An Effective Muslim is a live example of Great Manners. He speaks politey, he does not dishearten others by his tongue or deeds, he sets example by actually doing good things. He respects the elders and kind to youngsters. He is helpful, friendly and an easy going person. He stays away from gossips, back-biting and other social diseases. He understands fully that "The most hated person in the sight of Allah is the most quarrelsome person." Ref: Sahih Bukhari Volumn 003, Book 043, Hadith Number 637. He wins people's hearts by his kindness, gentleness, politeness, courtesy and helping nature. The article written by Junaid Tahir (mjunaidtahir at gmail dot com)

6. HABIT OF PROMOTING GOOD AND STOPPING BAD: An Effective Muslim knows the importance of Amr bil maroof and nahi a-nil munkar. This is what Allah has mentioned in Quran that Muslims are the best nation because they Promote/encourage for Good and discourage/stop the Bad. The Effective Muslim understands that he is supposed to help others in the manners of goodness and righteousness and he is supposed to discourage the evil matters. He does not take the law in hand but handles the bad situation by involving the right Law Enforcing Agencies or by dialogues. The article written by Junaid Tahir (mjunaidtahir at gmail dot com)

7. HABIT OF BRINGING PEACE: An Effective Muslim always endeavors for peace. He is patient in the situations of brawls and quarrels. He understands that two people can definitely have difference of opinion so he respects this fact and respects others too. He strives for resolving conflicts whenever observed. He believes that every single soul on earth has his/her rights so he respects the humanity regardless of skin color, country, nation, level of education.

So these are the 7 habits which every single Muslim must adapt in order to have a Positive and constructive EFFECT at individual and social level. How many habits are you practicing? Are you an effective Muslim? I appeal you to please go through these 7 Habits one more time and evaluate yourself and change your life style to become an Effective Muslim starting today. Always remember, everyone of us is answerable to Allah for every single deed we do so we have to change ourselves the way our religion demands. May Allah guide me towards the right path. Prayers requested.

keep_mailing Leadreship Tip: Recognize Employees Who Step Up

Some of your most valuable employees are those junior staff who act and contribute far beyond their pay grade. Look out for these individuals so you can recognize them, cultivate their talents, and set them up as examples to others. Here are three characteristics to spot:
They focus on results. Because they concentrate on the outcomes rather than the process, they know when to break rules — and it's not to be rebellious
They have strong interpersonal skills. Despite their junior titles, these stars lead through influence. And they gain that sway by connecting with others.
They demonstrate high integrity. They are consistent in their actions and words. When conflicts arise, others look to them over formal leaders for guidance.

keep_mailing Story: The Stone on the Road

One day a farmer, walking down the street in a small town came across a large stone in the middle of his path. The farmer complained: "Who could be so careless as to leave such a big stone on the road? Why does someone not remove it?" He went away complaining.

The next day, the same thing happened with a milkman. He too went away grumbling but left the stone as it was. Then one day, a student came across the stone. Worried that some¬one may fall over it and hurt himself, he decided to push it aside. He pushed long and hard all by himself and eventually managed to remove the stone from the path. He came back and noticed a piece of paper where the stone was kept. He picked the paper and opened it. Inside was written, "You are the true wealth of this nation."

There are two kinds of people - talkers and doers. Talkers merely talk, while doers do. The moral of this story is that if you don't want to get involved you have no right to criticise. Become the change you wish to see in this world.
Service to society is the rent we pay for the space we occupy on this earth

keep_mailing Attitude and emotions - Powerful Lesson

When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it, we become angry.

However, when someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done – and we are able to accept it – We remain tolerant.

When someone has something which we don't have, or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce – and we are not able to accept it – we become jealous.

When someone has something which we don't have or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are able to accept it we get inspired.

When Someone is present in our thoughts, but if not physically present and we are not able to accept it – We say 'I am missing you'.

When someone is present in our thoughts, but not physically present – and we are able to accept it – We say 'I am thinking of you'.

Then emotional equation is quite simple.

Something + Acceptance = Positive Emotion

Something + Non Acceptance = Negative Emotion

So, it is not 'Something' or 'someone' who is making us feel positive or negative, but it is our 'acceptance' or 'non acceptance' of something or someone, which is making us feel positive or negative.

It isn't the world but the quality of our response to the world (acceptance or non acceptance) that determines the quality of our emotions.

Next time we feel disturbed with a negative emotion, instead of asking who or what is disturbing us, we will examine who or what we are resisting (not accepting) that is causing this disturbance in us. We will replace resistance (non acceptance) with acceptance, and the negative emotion will turn into a positive one.

Emotional management begins by stopping to blame that 'something' or 'someone' and starting to take the responsibility to respond to life with 'acceptance' .
