AL-QURAN

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

To those whose hearts throb when name of Allah is mentioned and those who remain patient whatever befalls them and they establish Salaat (Muslim prayer) and spend out of what We (Allah) have provided them.

(Surah Al HAJJ - 35)

Saying of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (Razi Allah Ta’ala Anho) relates that the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “Allah will ask on the Day of Judgment: ‘Where are those who loved each other for the sake of My glory? Today, on a day when there is no shade but mine, I shall shade them with My shade.”

Sahih Muslim (2566)

A conceited and self-admiring person is disliked by others; charity and alms are the best remedy for ailments and calamities; one has to account in the next world for the deeds that he has done in this world.

Hazrat Ali (Karram Allah Wajhahu)

When you have got that light of knowledge by means of education and when you have made yourselves strong economically and industrially, then you have got to prepare yourselves for your defence - defence against external aggression and to maintain internal security.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Rehmat-Ullah Alaih)(Presidential address at the conference of the Punjab Muslim

Students Federation, March 2, 1941)
