listening and speaking about useless things that we cannot stop backbiting, tale-bearing, and lying. Then, whatever time remains has been taken over by social media. Even if we get a moment of loneliness, we immediately pick up our phones and become absorbed in Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms. If only we could develop an eagerness to perform good deeds!

The Reward of 100 Hajj

The Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: "Whoever recites سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ one hundred times in the morning and one hundred times in the evening is like one who has performed 100 Hajj."^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! Look at how easy it is to perform these deeds! The pilgrims (Haji) are going for Hajj; may their Hajj be blessed. We are unable to go; we cannot perform Ṭawāf of the KaꜤbah, nor can we gain the blessings of staying at Muzdalifah, Mina, and Arafat. We do not have the privilege of this sacred journey, but at least we can do this: recite سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ one hundred times every morning and evening. اِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰہ We will attain the reward of 100 Hajj. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to do this.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

2: Looking at One’s Parents with Love

Dear Islamic brothers! Another pious deed that grants the reward of Hajj is looking at one’s parents with love. The Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: "When a child looks at his parents with a merciful gaze, Allah records for him the reward of a Hajj Mabroor (an accepted Hajj) for every glance." The noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ  عَنْهُم asked: "Even if he looks at them one hundred times in a day?" He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: "Yes, Allah is the Greatest and the Most Pure."^[2]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! Dear Islamic brothers! Think about how easy it is to perform this pious deed! We have heard this blessed Hadith many times, but do we act
