The Sacredness of Human Life in Islam In Islam, life is not merely a coincidence but a divine journey, one designed for a seeker with a divine purpose and a clear moral code. It is a gift from Allah, meant for worship and submission to His will. This journey is not without challenges; rather, these challenges are integral, designed to guide believers to their predestined paths. “And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me” [Quran : Surat-uz-Zaariyat’ 51:56] Allah created humanity for a specific purpose.  The meaning of life, the ultimate goal of mankind is encapsulated in that purpose.  To be ignorant of this purpose, or to fall into a void of nihilism, is to deny the very essence of existence. In Islam, serving humanity is a vital part of fulfilling life's purpose. Acts of charity, kindness, compassion &  absorbing one's being in social welfare and justice  are not just good deeds, they are forms of worship. Human beings, honored by Allah, are gifted wit

Circadian Rhythm The circadian rhythm is the body’s internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and other biological functions based on time. Often referred to as the body’s biological clock, it operates on a 24-hour cycle in sync with the Earth's day-night pattern. For example, if you have a habit of waking up at 6 AM for work and find yourself doing the same on holidays when you want to sleep in, it's due to your body’s internal clock maintaining its rhythm. Circadian rhythms are controlled by a system of neural networks located in the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) within the hypothalamus. The SCN not only regulates the sleep-wake cycle but also governs other functions like body temperature, hormone production, and metabolism. When properly aligned with the natural day-night cycle, circadian rhythms contribute to better psychological well-being, enhanced cognitive function, and reduced risks of diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia. However, disrupti

When Frustration Strikes from Nowhere Are you stuck in a state of constant irritability? Does it hit you out of nowhere, turning your day sour? Despite your best efforts, do you still find yourself unable to shake off this feeling? Perhaps you're struggling to get through the day without letting your bitterness affect others. One key factor you might be overlooking, and one that could be fueling your frustration, is the things you consistently do that you don’t want to do. Take a moment to sit back, ask yourself what those things are, and listen carefully when the answers come. Let’s start with something simple, like cooking. Maybe you despise it, yet you constantly blame yourself for not being a good mother, for being a bad cook, or for procrastinating. You might even criticize yourself for being irresponsible towards your household, family, health, or relationships. But have you ever stopped to consider that not everything is for everybody? By failing to accept this, you might be

Let’s talk about family. I apologize. I don’t think I will be able to do that. B ut why? It's strange to say I don’t even know why. It's not like I haven't questioned this to myself for years, but every time I failed to find the answer. It’s like my mind goes completely blank when I think of the word "family". It feels as if someone inside me doesn’t want to talk about it. Maybe that part is scared. Maybe it doesn’t have the slightest clue. Maybe it’s just confused. There are a lot of maybes, making it difficult to understand it all. But what if there's nothing to be scared of? I'm not in a position to decide what's scary and what isn't. Living with trauma paralyzes you within. It feels like an internal shutdown, a complete freeze, and that's what makes me terrified and family-phobic. When the protectors become the rivals, life becomes a dirty game, and you can only survive if you know how to play along. Maybe hiding from reality became the onl
