We believe that a true and comprehensive
understanding of Islam would not be possible without careful recognition of the
Prophetic Tradition and the Prophet's Household. And Allah is the Source of Strength.
Drop Of Life
" As muslims all over the world are fasting in this Blessed month of Ramadan, we will realize how much water means to us and what could we have done if all the waters of this world would evaporate leaving nothing for us to drink from.
A thirsty man forgets the luxuries of life. Good food will not be desirable, women will not attract you and you would want to spend away all your money for a glass of cold water.
This is how basic our desire is, yet what we run after is in vain and only because we take the blessings of Allah, and in this case, something as simple as water, for granted.
Therefore when we are thirsty today and sit for Iftar, we must realize the bounty of Allah which we cannot deny, a cold glass of water, and we must remember the thirst of the household of Prophet (SAW) at Kerbala, for that remembrance shows that although life depended on a drop of water, yet Allah is greater than any turmoil which can befall us, and we must remember the pool of Kausar gifted to Prophet Muhammad (SAW), which we must desire and strive to drink from.
