exhibiting good conduct towards one’s mother. These acts of worship have been cherished practices of the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام since ancient times. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, these are such beautiful acts of devotion that our pure Shariah has also emphasized their observance.

However, it is deeply regrettable that our masājid are becoming increasingly deserted while places of immorality flourish. The obligation of zakat is being neglected, and the deserving are forced to wander in distress. The same mother, beneath whose feet lies Paradise, is being subjected to ill-treatment. What has happened to us as Muslims?

When will our masājid once again become vibrant with worshippers? When will we see an increase in those who establish prayer? For how long will negligence and laziness persist in the payment of zakat? How much longer will this continue?

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Among the many miracles performed by Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, some stood out as particularly remarkable and became widely known. Let us listen to some details of these miracles:

1. Creating a bat:

When Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم proclaimed his Prophethood and displayed miracles, people requested him to create a bat. He formed the shape of a bat from clay, breathed into it, and it flew away as a living creature.^[1]

The bat is unique among flying creatures, as it flies without feathers, has teeth, laughs, and gives birth to live offspring—characteristics not typically found in other flying animals.^[2]
