Such as love of ahl al-bayt, cleanliness, good morality, showing respect for trust, mercy, shame, struggling for keeping honesty, love of country are indicators of faith and we shouldn’t compromise on these issues.

Got Connections?

Posted on: 08 April, 2008

There are a lot of people living in self-pity, going around with the, "poor me" attitude. Their talk is always about defeat. Perhaps they have forgotten that we have the best "connection" there is! An electrical connection allows electricity to flow from one point to another so that a certain task can be performed successfully. A good example is a lamp.

Have you almost gave up on your vision? Has the devil whispered to you, "God didn't give you a vision, God didn't speak to you, you...

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15) I purposefully left part of this verse out to get to the heart of the matter.
