Ok, as promise, i read the book. A muslim Boy's guide to to life big changes. Yes, i am very satisfied with the content. The writer Mr Sami Khan wrote this book as if it was a letter to his younger brother. Here are some of the content i like to share. its a about Your belief towards big changes in your life as Muslim boy's.
To my Younger brother, Fahmi.
Your Belief.
The word 'islam' means peace and obedience. which is made by 5 basic pillars.
- Shahadah: Statement of belief
- Salah(solat): Five times daily prayers
- Zakah: Giving our wealth to the less fortunate
- Sawm: Fasting in Ramadhan
- Haji: visiting Allah's House
At this stage of life my brother, you should be aware of Shahadah, Salah, and Sawm for your daily life.
The first part of Shahadah is believing in the Oneness of Allah or tawheed. this means believing that there is only one Allah who has no partners or family; that Allah always has been and always will be; that He created everything and there is none like Him.
Scientist can boost about their achievements but the fact is that they cannot even create a single atom from nothing let alone the the whole complex and beautiful universe that Allah alone has created. The opposite of tawheed is shirk, which means not believing in the Oneness of Allah and associating Him with someone or something else. So, whenever you are facing a hard time, remember that Allah is the best friend and helper you could have.
Remember Fahmi, Allah has given us so much and in order to show Him how grateful we are and how much we love Him, we must pray and perform salah five times a day. Salah is a chance for you to take time out from the routine of the day and become closer to Allah. It is a time for you to show your gratitude, ask forgiveness for your sins, ask for help, guidance and directions.
Ideally Fahmi, you should have started to pray from the age of seven and certainly from the age of ten. If you havent, then it is never to late to start because Allah is very Kind and Forgiving. It is IMPORTANT that you take your time out of you schedule to offer your salah at the right time, whether you are at home or at schoolor out and about.
