The Dangers of Chi - (A Martial Arts Jinn story)

My History of Martial Arts

By a Muslim Brother

I began learning martial arts over a decade ago, I was always very keen and took great interest not only in the physical sciences of the art but also the spiritual aspects. I studied many systems during this time including both Japanese and Chinese systems (both northern and southern systems as well as internal and external systems). All my instructors were of the highest caliber, including a Shaolin Monk from China, Grand Masters and national champions (and if I was to provide you with their names I don’t think anyone would dispute their skill and genuine martial arts lineage)

A Wonder of the Decree of Allah

This is a true story that happened in Egypt (related by Shaykh Wahid ‘Abd al-Salam Bali in his lecture):

A young man flagged down a taxi in order to take his ill mother to the hospital. They both got in and the driver made his way to the hospital. However, on the way, the son asked for the taxi to be stopped so that he could get out and quickly get some medication for his mother. 

Carry a pocket-size Qur'an always

Most of us don't realize the value of each second that slips away from our life, which could be consciously used for Qur'an. Either through reading, reflecting or teaching our kids or friends. There are so many instances daily in our lives where we willingly or unwillingly have to just be doing nothing. Those are the golden offers of time that our Merciful Lord gives us and we lose it all as zero credits into our Aakhira. Below is an experience of a Brother who has learnt a precious lesson from it.

A True story from nowadays:

After picking up groceries in the supermarket, the Niqabi sister stood in the line to pay. After a few minutes, her turn came up at the checkout counter.
