Exercises To Develop Attention, Meditation 

Meditation is one effective way to enhance alertness in Prayer. It is popularly known as the practice of uncritically attempting to focus your attention on one thing at a time. It is important to understand that the heart of meditation in Prayer lies not simply in focusing on one entity to the exclusion of all other thoughts, but rather in the attempt to achieve good focus. The nature of our minds is such that it does not want to stay concentrated. Myriad of thoughts will appear and seemingly interfere with your Prayer. Therefore, repeating liturgies, contemplating on the nature of Allah (SWT), His creations, and the natural phenomena are effective ways to reap benefits from this kind of exercise.

*~* 313 - THE MOVIE - REVIEW *~*

313 - The Movie

The film 313 is about a young man, by the name of Layth, who searches for justice in this world. After the death of his brother, he tries to be the one who takes care of the family. Layth does not believe that justice is an attainable concept in this world, as he is constantly bombarded with experiences of violence and injustice. When asked to write a paper on the Mahdi (a.j.), he simply scoffs at the idea that this man will return at the end of time as a savior. However, he soon meets the Sheikh, who helps to educate him on the true meaning of Islam. With the guidance of the Sheikh, Layth sets out on a journey to distinguish falsehood from reality.
