Lo! Allah enjoineth justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness. He exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed.

In The Name of Allah

I begin this blog, in the name of Allah, with very sincere intentions to help me increase my knowledge, my faith and my actions as a Muslim and a member of this esteemed faith. I pray to Allah that He helps me in every endeavor I take in this regard, and help me stay on righteousness and success. May He prevent me from going astray and may He make this attempt a source of help to many others.

This blog will primarily revolve around three spheres.

1) The issues and concerns faced by Muslims. The way Muslims think and look at their faith.

2) The possible solutions or rather actions which the Muslims as a whole should try to adopt to help them grow as a community and reflect the sublime teachings of this faith.

3) Those issues which I have less knowledge of, I will raise as questions which I expect to receive answers of. Basically this aspect should be addressed to people of knowledge but obviously I don't expect them to read me here and respond, but certainly my friends, family and those who like reading me can help me here.

There is a lot that is going on in my mind and things I am raring to share with the world. Hence the title, which is the Muslim mind in general but mine in particular.

Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire. [The Holy Qur'an, 2:201]
