A’ishah also reported that once, when she went on a journey with the Prophet (SAW), she challenged him to a race, and won.

When he saw a fire and said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance.” [Qur’an 20:10] Perform dhikr, which means being mindful of Allah throughout the day. Dhikr of Allah is one of the best ways to praise Allah and to improve your connection with Him. Dhikr has been stressed over a hundred times in the Qur'an, and is of tremendous importance. Allah says in his Holy book : "O believers, make abundant mention of Allah!" (33:41) The Prophet said, "If your hearts were always in the state that they are in during dhikr, the angels would come to see you to the point that they would greet you in the middle of the road."There are many ways in which Muslims mark the occasion of Mawlid al-Nabi. Some Muslims choose to remember the event quietly in their own home or their mosque community. For many other Muslims, Mawlid al-Nabi is a time of great celebration. In some communities you might see public processions, decorations of homes and streets, reading of poetry in praise of Allah, and special times of fasting. Each of these pillars is an important part of being Muslim. As scholar Rose Aslan writes, “ Many Muslims organize their days around the call to prayer and others stop what they are doing during the call and make supplications to God.” The irony is that men feel proud to do such heinous punishable acts. It must be born in mind that the husband is also required to be faithful in marriage as much as the wife is. The punishment for adultery after marriage is death under the Shari’ah for both male and female. If the culprit did not get the due punishment in this world, it does not mean the sin is less grievous in the sight of Allah. A sin which is not expiated in this world will never leave the person till the grave. Practice all five daily prayers. Praying five times a day is obligatory for all Muslims that have reached puberty and is of the upmost importance. Learning what the words mean will enhance your contemplation within prayer. If you do not speak Arabic, try to find some translated versions of the prayer words and take some time to read and understand what the words mean. Make the five prayers the focal points of every day, the way eating is a physiological need of ours, our spiritual food is prayer. It is therefore to be born in the mind of Muslim husband that he is not authorized to beat his wife. It is deeply worrying to find many husbands beating their wives discriminately or habitually for petty offences without realizing what consequences it might lead to. Some stupid husbands cross all the limits when it comes to punishing their wives. So, we find them beating up their wives so violently that the poor wives come out injured looking as if they had done ten rounds in a boxing-ring. What is more alarming is that such Muslims unjustly claim that they have religious endorsement to beat their wives, while the fact is that in most cases they are beating them when they are drunk, or brutal by nature, or just in a bad temper.

When a citizen irrespective of any identity marker( religion/Hindu,Muslim,Sikh,Cristian etc ; political ideology/ leftist, socialist, communist, Saffron etc; ethnicity) considers herself/himself as Patriotic Indian first followed by any other identity marker as a secondary attribute, he/she is a good citizenLove in all its forms is subtly woven throughout the book. It’s in the familial love he describes for his parents, siblings, and nephews, it's in the prayers he reads when connecting to God, and it forms a thin line when crossing over into acts of violence and hate. Two categories now existed in the public narrative for how Muslims were described: the Good Muslim and the Bad Muslim," writes Hassan. We find numerous prophetic stories that show the compassion and affection of the prophets towards their families in the Noble Book Quran. The story of Prophet Moses is one of such stories which is worth reading: Benefits of Converting to Islam (3 parts)”. How to Convert to Islam - The Testimony of Faith ( Shahada) He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed; and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.” [Quran 67-2]

Above all, strive to improve yourself in the service of Allah throughout your life. No matter what may anger, sadden or upset you, your duty on earth is to be the best person you can be by serving Allah and seeking His reward. Muslims believe that Allah created us to have a good life, and to be happy through our service to Him. Use your talents to help others and better your community. Be open-minded. Never do harm to anyone. Make it your mission to tell people about Islam, emphasizing that Islam is a religion of peace. Stand up for yourself, your religion and other Muslims. Muslims are often portrayed negatively by various political groups to further their own ends. You don't have to engage whenever you hear an Islamophobic statement, but you should say something if you feel safe and have the energy to do so.

Post 9/11 world Islamic belief also mandates the observance of Sunnah, lifestyle guidelines based on the life of Muhammad. Some acts are recommended, and some are mandated. The narration (hadith) will inform you if the described action is required. Men and women pray separately at the mosque, so they are only concentrating on Allah. In the evening we get together to tell stories and recite poetry about Muhammad, and we sing religious songs called nasheeds. Remember that it is obligatory to cover the whole body except the face, hands, and sometimes the feet, although some scholars believe it's obligatory to cover those as well (especially in the Hanbali school of thought). Even if your family does not dress in this way, Allah will appreciate it if you choose to wear long sleeves, a hijab or niqab to more clearly express your identity.
