Abu Hurairah, a companion of the holy Prophet, has said that “a person is indeed disgraced, who does not earn Paradise by caring for his parents during the life time and old age of his or her parents”.

Khandaker Nazneen Sultana

All the prophets of Allah called their people to worship Allah and to believe in life after death. Surely Allah will raise all the dead.

Narrated Anas (RA) The Prophet (SAW) said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their foot steps, two angels come to hi

Ramadan is the most important month of the year. It is the month that the believers await with eagerness.

By Khandaker Nazneen Sultana

The Prophet said: "The prayer is the Mi`raaj of the Believer." It gives every Muslim the chance to communicate with his Lord. During each prayer, the Muslim recites Soorah Al-Faatihah: This recitation is not a dull monologue by the Believer, but Allah promises that it is a conversation between Him and the worshipper.

 The Prophet (SAW) reported: 'The five set Prayers may be compared to a stream of fresh water, flowing in front of your house, into which you plunge five times each day. Do you think that would
