1,000 Days of Unimaginable Suffering...

Marks 1,000 days since the devastating military campaign in Gaza began.

I unequivocally condemn the actions of the #Israeli government and military that have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and the destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, places of worship, and critical infrastructure. The immense loss of innocent lives including children, women, healthcare workers, journalists, humanitarian personnel, and aid workers is a tragedy that should shake the conscience of the world.

No political or military objective can justify the collective suffering of an entire civilian population.

My thoughts and prayers are with the resilient people of Palestine, especially the families of Gaza, who continue to endure unimaginable pain, displacement, hunger, and loss.

May justice prevail. May those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law be held accountable. And may the people of Palestine finally live in peace, freedom, dignity, and security, InShaAllah.

Silence in the face of human suffering is never neutrality instead it is a choice. Humanity must always come first.

Compliance vs Reality...

রিজিক বাড়ানোর এক অবহেলিত আমল: বেশি বেশি ইস্তিগফার (আল্লাহর কাছে ক্ষমা প্রার্থনা)

প্রখ্যাত তাবেয়ী আলিম ইমাম হাসান আল-বাসরী (রহিমাহুল্লাহ)-এর কাছে একদিন কয়েকজন মানুষ ভিন্ন ভিন্ন সমস্যা নিয়ে আসেন। 

একজন বললেন, "আমাদের এলাকায় বৃষ্টি হচ্ছে না, খরা চলছে।" তিনি বললেন, "আল্লাহর কাছে বেশি বেশি ইস্তিগফার করুন।"

আরেকজন বললেন, "আমার সন্তান হচ্ছে না।" তিনি একই উত্তর দিলেন, "আল্লাহর কাছে বেশি বেশি ইস্তিগফার করুন।"

তৃতীয়জন বললেন, "আমার বাগানে ফলন হচ্ছে না।" তিনিও একই পরামর্শ পেলেন, "আল্লাহর কাছে বেশি বেশি ইস্তিগফার করুন।"

এ দৃশ্য দেখে তাঁর এক ছাত্র বিস্মিত হয়ে বললেন, "হুজুর! তিনজন তিন ধরনের সমস্যা নিয়ে এসেছেন, অথচ আপনি সবাইকে একই সমাধান দিলেন!"

ইমাম হাসান আল-বাসরী (রহ.) উত্তর দিলেন,

"আমি নিজের পক্ষ থেকে কিছু বলিনি। আল্লাহ তাআলাই কুরআনে এর নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন।"

এরপর তিনি সূরা নূহ-এর এই আয়াতগুলো তিলাওয়াত করেন— "আমি বলেছি, 'তোমরা তোমাদের প্রতিপালকের কাছে ক্ষমা প্রার্থনা করো। নিশ্চয়ই তিনি অত্যন্ত ক্ষমাশীল। তিনি তোমাদের ওপর প্রচুর বৃষ্টি বর্ষণ করবেন, তোমাদের ধন-সম্পদ ও সন্তান-সন্ততি বৃদ্ধি করবেন, তোমাদের জন্য উদ্যানসমূহ সৃষ্টি করবেন এবং তোমাদের জন্য নদ-নদী প্রবাহিত করবেন।'" — সূরা নূহ, ৭১:১০–১২

শিক্ষা

এই আয়াতগুলো আমাদের শেখায় যে ইস্তিগফার শুধু গুনাহ মাফের মাধ্যমই নয়; আল্লাহ চাইলে এর বরকতে—

রিজিকে বরকত দান করেন,

বৃষ্টি ও প্রাকৃতিক কল্যাণ দান করেন,

সম্পদ বৃদ্ধি করেন,

নেক সন্তান দান করেন,

জীবনে বরকত ও প্রশস্ততা দান করেন।

তবে মনে রাখতে হবে, এগুলো আল্লাহর ইচ্ছা ও হিকমতের অধীন। ইস্তিগফার কোনো যান্ত্রিক "ফর্মুলা" বা "টোটকা" নয়; বরং এটি আল্লাহর প্রতি আন্তরিক তাওবা, বিনয় ও তাঁর রহমতের আশা।

রেফারেন্স

আল-কুরআন: সূরা নূহ (৭১), আয়াত ১০–১২।

তাফসীর আল-কুরতুবী, সূরা নূহ ৭১:১০–১২-এর ব্যাখ্যায় ইমাম হাসান আল-বাসরী (রহ.)-এর এই ঘটনাটি উল্লেখ করেছেন।

তাফসীর ইবন কাসীর, সূরা নূহ ৭১:১০–১২-এর ব্যাখ্যায় ইস্তিগফারের ফজিলত ও এর বরকত সম্পর্কে আলোচনা করেছেন।

আল্লাহ তাআলা আমাদের সবাইকে বেশি বেশি ইস্তিগফার করার তাওফিক দান করুন এবং আমাদের জীবনে তাঁর রহমত, বরকত ও হালাল রিজিক বৃদ্ধি করুন। আমীন।

Happy Islamic New Year 1448 AH.

May this blessed Hijri year bring peace, good health, prosperity, and abundant blessings to you and your family. Wishing you a year filled with faith, wisdom, and success InShaAllah.

🌙 Eid Mubarak✨

May Almighty Allah bestow His blessings upon You & Your family, keep You & Your loved ones in good health & peace, and graciously accept all Your duʿās.

Because nothing what it seems...

Hypocrisy over Enemy...

Don’t know whether that news is true or not. However, I would be more than happy if Iranian missiles were destroying the hypocrites (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, etc.) rather than Israel. Also, may Allah grant Khamenei, his family members, and other martyrs Jannatul Ferdous.

The 33-year Ramadan Cycle...

Alhamdulillah, I finally exercised my right to vote after many years.

A warm and heartfelt welcome at BUP

A warm and heartfelt welcome by my dear fellow students at #BUP (Bangladesh University of Professionals) at the beginning of the new semester. I am truly blessed and honoured. Gratitude and prayers to Almighty Allah... 🤲
