It's the best thing in life to wake up in tahajjud and stay in sajood ,

[@mbab5401]

Sometimes the road you must get through is not always a flower and a rainbow but it doesn't make you less human. It makes you who you are and that is the road that you need in your life not what you want. Welcome to the family.

اتنے بڑے بڑے علماء جنہیں امام کہا جاتا ہے اور ان کا رتبہ اتنا بڑھا چڑھا دیا گیا ہے کہ ان سے تو کوئی غلطی ہو ہی نہیں سکتی وہ اتنی بڑی بڑی اور فاش غلطیاں کیسے کر گئے؟ میری تو سمجھ سے باہر ہے۔ امام بخاری اور مسلم کی احادیث کی کتابوں کو تو تقریباً قرآن پاک کے برابر قرار دیا جاتا ہے نعوذباللہ۔
