    About this ebook

    This compilation contains short narratives, in which common misnomers and contradictions of our daily life are revisited for clarity in the context of Quranic verses and Sunnah (prophetic traditions), pbuh. In-Sha-Allah, you will find this compilation useful to overcome your contradictions and replace misnomers with true sense. Thus In-Sha-Allah you will be able to set your directions and priorities in a more meaningful fashion.

    Noble Quran is the last of the books revealed to mankind from their creator; it acknowledges the books revealed before it and conveys nothing but “true guidance” from the creator. The common message of Noble Quran and the books revealed before it was one: Monotheism, Day of Judgment, and Life hereafter.

    Understanding and practicing the message of Noble Quran in the letter and spirit is a basic requirement to live a better life here and hereafter. I recited Nobel Quran; learned covenants of faith, performed prayers and worshiped, gained knowledge about righteous (halal) and wrongs (haram). However, my dilemma continued. The more I learnt, my perspective filled with more contradictions and misnomers. As many of us do, I had this solution to live with compartmentized perspectives to gain consonance in my perceived conflicting pursuits in this life and the life hereafter. But by the will of Allah, I realized that I had another option: To revisit my daily life contradictions and misnomers by reflecting the wisdom of Noble Quran and Sunnah. I think having done so I have found harmony in my daily chores and my desire for a successful life hereafter.

      Clarity for Positivity

      Allah says, in Sura Adh-Dhariyat [51:56], And I (Allah) did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me. Allah says in Sura Hud [11:6], And no moving creature is there on earth but its provision is due [provided by] from Allah [in this life]. And in Sura An Najam [53:39-42], And that man [woman] can have nothing but what he does [good or bad]; and his deeds will be seen; then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense. In Sura Takatur [102:1-3] Allah says, The mutual competition [for piling up of worldly things] diverts you [from worshiping Allah]; until reach to your grave; nay! You shall come to know. In Sura Al Humazah [104:2-4], Allah says, "Who has gathered [hoarded] wealth and counted it; he thinks that his wealth will make him live forever; nay! Verily he shall
