Two Questions1. If you woke up tomorrow and there
were no mobile phones, would you feel a loss?
2. Ask non-Muslims, ‘If you woke up tomorrow and there were no Muslims and no signs of Islam, would you feel a loss?’
Who are we benefiting?

and forbid al-Munkar (all evil), and you believe in Allah.

For the peopleTo benefit all people

Rasoolullahملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said1. “The best of people are those with the most
excellent character.” (Tabarani, Sahih)2. “The best of people are those that bring most
benefit to the rest of mankind.” (Daraqutni, Hasan)3. “The best of people are those who are best in
fulfilling (rights).” (Ibn majah, Sahih)

4وا أنفق4وا ذين آمن ها ال يا أي4م من قبل أن مما رزقناك
ة ل بيع فيه وال خ4 يأتي يوم الوال شفاعة
Baqara 2: 254. O you who believe! Spend of that with which we have provided for you, before a day comes when
there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession.

It is not a sign of health to be profoundly adjusted
to a sick society. ~ J. Krishnamurthy
![Page 9: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Action defines us • Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree(RA) said: I heard Rasoolullahملسو هيلع هللا ىلص say, “Whoever sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then hate it in his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.”[Muslim]
To do nothing is a sickness, not an option
![Page 10: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Benefit the whole world• Abdullah ibn Mas'ud(RA) was once asked, “Who are the living dead?”•He replied, “Those who never enjoin something good and never forbid something bad.”
A Muslim is recognized by the goodness he creates

Enriching livesBy sharing
![Page 12: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Born to share•We share air, water, food, knowledge, space and don’t run out of it as long as we don’t hoard or try to profiteer from it. • As long as we share, we all benefit.
Happiness is the product of sharing

Three Strategies
![Page 15: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Change our TeachingFrom knowing to doing
![Page 16: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Change our Teaching• From teaching stuff to teaching application• From testing memory to testing understanding• From enforcing compliance to encouraging creativity
Reward best question – not best answer
![Page 17: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Integrated TeachingWhy do we need it?
![Page 18: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Education today• Random information crammed without reason• Tested on random recall• No focus on showing relatedness of one to another• No focus on application in life
After 15 years of full-time study students graduate knowing little and
with no life skills

Qur’anic methodA’al Imraan 3:190. Verily! In the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for people of
understanding. 191. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, AND think deeply about the
creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): “Our Rabb! You have not created (all) this without
purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation
from the punishment of the Fire.”Allahهلالج لج used AND

Why this method?• Islam recognizes that all knowledge is from Allahهلالج لج and that the purpose of knowledge is to recognize our Creator and fill our hearts with His awe and majesty (Khashiyatullah)
The natural result is to connect to Allahهلالج لج

How does this happen and where is this?
Furqan 25: 53. And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water), one palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter, and He has set a barrier and a complete partition
between them.

The Essential TruthLiving life is about making choices:
Choosing to be a “victim” Or choosing to be a “master”
Both stances are subject to the same givens of society, environment, organization etc.
But have very different implications in terms of your development and happiness
![Page 39: Enriching lives by Mirza Yawar Baig](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9c0cd760da32f4b8b564e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Who’re you?Victims• Complain about what
happened• Think of excuses• Blame others• Lose hope & give up• Perish
Masters• Say, “what can I do about it?”• Think of solutions• Own responsibility• Have courage to try new
ways• Win, even if they fail
Choose wisely because it is your life
