Love for the sake of Allah

Assalamualaikum, and Hai..

In the previous weeks, I had surveyed my social media account regarding suggestions for my blog's topic and among many topics, I chose this.

When we talk about love, what do we think first?
For meeeee, I think about pain, heartbreaks and struggles in moving on. That's because I watch lots of Hindi and Malay dramas. You know like the breakups, betrayal, revenge, avenge, crying, and all of those sad moments.

But I am not going to talk about that because I believe this happens when you go for the wrong love. 
Maybe 👉👈



I am going to talk about 
"Love For The Sake of Allah"
.
Exactly, to be honest, I feel a little nervous to write about this. But I will try.😅😅

Love OR leave ... just for the sake of #Allah ! | Islamic inspirational  quotes, Islamic quotes, Allah

1) Love in Islam

First of all, what is the meaning of love?
Let's watch a video first.



Love for the sake of Allah means you love all the things that Allah loves as He is the Al-Wadud (The Most Loving). You see the goodness in everything that Allah loves.
Subhanallah. 🌄

But...
When I talk about love, we will "Definitely" think about others, right ?? Like loving others and all...


Let's play a game
List 3 people you love the most in 10 seconds. Tik tik tik
"After that, see that did you mention yourself in the list too?"

  Most people don't because we often prioritize others that we forget about ourselves... Sad isn't it?😔

We may list our parents, friends, spouses, or siblings' names first but we forget about the most important person, and "it's you" ...
And if you did mention your name, then Congratz 😊😊, we are in the same boat 🚤...

Many people find this a little "cliche" and think that it is wrong to love yourself...

Reminder ❗❗
 Loving yourself doesn't mean that you have to be egoistic or self-obsessed or look down on others... That is wrong...

"2) Why we should love Ourselves (Self-love)?"


    Self-love is important for an individual to realize his/her self-worth, respect yourself as you are, a way to appreciate what your body, mind, and soul are gifted with, and to be a better person

    Self-love is also important to have positive vibes around you.
Let me give you an example,
"Have you ever criticized yourself so badly, after that you found it hard to get anything done at the moment? Your mind and soul were so tired and unmotivated to do anything." 
Or have you ever given good comments to yourself and somehow it makes you feel better and beautiful for a whole day.


Can you relate to it?

Sometimes we don't realize whatever we say to ourselves, will later go to our subconscious mind and provide either a positive or negative impact on us.

I remembered the moment when my seniors gave advice, after that they would say...

"I am not saying this because I am good. But I am also advising myself as my ears are much closer to me compared to you all."

Self-love is also important to motivate ourselves to be a better person/believer.
Like if you don't love yourself then either going to Heaven or Hell won't make any difference to you. We all want to go to Heaven but if you don't care about whatever you do, and don't care that either your deeds are good or bad, it gonna be a problem.

3) why do we lack self-love in the first place?


    First of all, influenced by "fake-life profiles" that lead us to comparison, jealousy, and not appreciating what we have

Why I am saying this? 
    It is because we are in a generation who are often shown this fake life via social media and we often get tricked by them and start comparing our lives with them. Remember,
"Comparison is the thief of joy"

    To be honest, social media is good as a socializing place with your friends and family where you communicate and share pictures/videos. But when you overuse it and go to SocMed for validation (like you look beautiful only if someone comments on the post that you look beautiful)

Social media become bad when we think that anything that happens there is real and the profiles we admire have a perfect life while you don't and it lowers your "self-esteem" and "self-love". Everyone had a face that we didn't know. Who knows they may have fabricated their real life behind the lenses of the camera.

Let's watch a video on this.


    
    Not only social media, but even people around us can make us feel horrible like a toxic friend who keeps on trying to put negative images in our minds about us. 
(You can read further about toxic friends in my blog titled "Being Positive")

How do you love yourself?

Actually, there are many ways, but I will list some of them.

1. Knowing yourself

There is a quote in Malay,
"Kalau tak kenal maka tak cinta"
which means if you don't know the person/thing, you're not going to love it.

So you need to know yourself to love yourself. Yeah, at first it really sounds cliche (same goes with me as it sounds weird that how could not know yourself). 

But when I tried to identify what I like, love, hate, dislike and what makes me happy, I found it hard. I even found it hard to describe myself with full of sincerity that "yeah, it is exactly ME" or "I am like this".

Can you tell why you exactly like or hate something? Have you ever taken the time to figure it out? Haha, I don't wanna play the blame game here, just wanna make you guys realize the fact. Auchh... 🤧

Even by knowing yourself, you will start appreciating whatever you are gifted with from Allah swt. You'll start appreciating the nikmah, talents and everything that Allah gives you and use it for better use for the Ummah. 😊

Some people are gifted with drawing/artistic talents so they can use them to share the da'wah in a unique way like painting, calligraphy or video making.

Some people are also talented in specific subjects in studies such as the medical field, and they work hard to help and treat others. Or they make medicines so people can heal.

There are a variety of contributions that a single person can make for the ummah (nation). You only need to discover it.

“If you are grateful, I will surely give you more and more.” (Ibrahim 14:7)


2. Avoid victimising yourself.

We all have these bad whispers in our heads that keep on trying to feed negativity into our minds. They often whisper things that make us feel demotivated and useless.

So start to avoid these whispers by start doing good.

Remember...
The biggest jihad is the battle with your own nafs'.

Why?

Coz when you help others even by giving sadaqah, it will change the perspective on your and their lives.

If you don't get the same treatment from them, then renew your intentions that you're doing a good deed for Allah and Allah take notes of everything you do without missing anything. Subhanallah. 

Even if others don't give you much attention, instead of breaking down and stopping, rewire your brain to start building up and be more stronger.


3. Taking good care of yourself.

You should also start taking care of things you are gifted with such as good health.
Many of us try a lot of things that eventually will harm our health in a period such as smoking, eating junk food regularly and many more.

A wise person once said 
Prevention is better than cure

And one way to show that you appreciate whatever Allah gives you is by taking care of it. In a hadith, it is mentioned that...
Pin on for me 3

Some ways to show your body and mind self-love in your daily life are...
  • Enough sleeping
  • Healthy eating
  • Exercising 
  • Avoid toxic influences
  • Maintaining your hygiene

And the most important way is by

Maintaining a good relationship with Allah.

I believe is it NOT okay, if you take care of what you have but you forget about the ONE who gave it to you.

You can maintain a relationship with Allah swt, by following His commandments, praying, fasting, and following Rasullullah s.a.w teachings (Sunnah).

4.  Forgive yourself

Sometimes some mistakes make us dwell and wanna give up...
We must have made a mistake that made us feel bad whenever we remembered that. Even I did it.

You feel like you failed in front of your own sight "How could I do this?" or "I can't believe that I did that. Astaghfirullah"...

For me, the past is a past. Things do happen in life as this life is a journey to be a better slave of Allah swt. 
  • Dwelling on your past won't change the past but learning lessons from it and doing Taubah is what matters. The same goes for forgiving yourself. 
  • Allow yourself to grow with it instead of questioning it. As bygones are bygones.
  • You can't change anything about it. Instead, forgive yourself, give yourself healing time, pray, repent, learn lessons from your mistakes and be a better version of yourself.
Even your smartphones have an upgrade system, so why can't you, hmm ?

But if you still feel like giving up.
Remember Allah swt promises that...

and...
While other tips are...


If you have self-esteem issues, watch this..

Now, let's talk about loving others for the sake of Allah.

5)Loving others for Allah.

Let's learn what this means...


In other words, Shaykh Ammar AlShukry, a Muslim who loves for the sake of Allah ( LFTSOA) doesn't love someone for his needs or because someone facilitates (profits) him.

In easy words, you love someone NOT for what they provide you because if you do, then it would be like you love them for your own sake/benefits.
When you love someone for your "own sake", you'll put yourselves into the equation.

But when you love someone for Allah's sake, then you'll love even a stranger for something that he/she does for Allah. Even she/he is someone who often goes to the mosque or recites the Qur'an at the corner.

It's like
" I am loving them NOT because they are good to me, But because they are GOOD TO ALLAH".

Even though you don't get benefits from them, you love them because they do good deeds for Allah.

And when a person does that, they are doing a great act of Worship.


Why you should love others for Allah?

It is to purify our soul from being someone who holds grudges, is judgemental and backbites others.
When you love for the sake of Allah, you'll have a positive aura around you as we know having bad feelings towards others will affect us without we know about it.

Even it is an act that is most beloved by Allah swt. 
As in a hadith,



6) What to do when you love others for the sake of Allah?

1)Make dua' for them without them knowing.




Subhanallah, you can pray for someone even if you don't know her/him, neither her/his name nor his/her phone number.


2) Help rather than judge them.

I believe we probably have or insha'Allah will meet someone in life who is in the process of becoming better.

To be honest, even I had gone through this stage. I met plenty type of people during this journey of mine, where some made fun of my weaknesses, judged my mistakes, giving me names, but Alhamdulillah, some also guided me, taught me, and motivated me to be a better person.

Alhamdulillah, those journeys of my life became a lesson to me on learning how to treat others who are in my position.

But I also know some people who give up because they find themselves weak and feel discouraged. May Allah guide and help them.

I believe that we're in no place who is qualified to judge anyone because we are also full of imperfections. Maybe some are perfect in religious matters but they are weak at another point.
So let the only One (Allah SWT) judge us as He knew everything about you even the whispers of your heart. 💓💓

3)Think positive about them

You know the evil of the devil (Shaytaan), who whispers bad things to you when you see someone do good and you start thinking bad about that person.

For example,
1) That man is giving charity because he wants to show off his money.
2) This brother is showing off his beautiful voice to attract others.
3) This sister is just pretending to be good.

Astaghfirullah, have you gone through the same?

Whenever you find yourself in this dilemma, seek protection from Allah think positively, and try to humble yourself by keeping a positive mind.
It's hard but insha'Allah, you can. Don't let yourself drown in the negative thoughts even if you have to shed some tears.

Sometimes our hearts are full of hatred and we need a lot to improve yet we like to judge someone who may be doing something for the sake of Allah.

7) Summary

It is important for us to love others and ourselves for the sake of Allah...

Searching for love can be hard, but the first step in finding love is to love yourself. We can't expect others to love us the way we are when we don't do it first. 

While to love others for the sake of Allah, we need to be remembered as Allah mentioned in Quran

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.
(An-Nisa 4:36)

Loving others for the sake of Allah will help people find the sweetness of their faith in their interaction with others and their friendship.

In a hadith, Rasullullah SAW mentions that " Indeed the strongest bond of faith is to love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah."

And if someone treats you badly, try to be the best version of yourself and keep a good distance from them as you have to take care of yourself too.

Surrounded by linguals ..

Assalamualaikum and "Bonjour a' tous"... Annyeong haseyo..

Jeu neun Ms.Imperfect ibnida. Jeo neun Malaysia salam ibnida.(Korean-formal)
Jae iram Ms.Imperfect. (Korean-informal)
Ismi Ms.Imperfect. (Arabic)
Nama saya Ms.Imperfect. (Malay)

Do you guys figured out what I am going to write about?
If you guess it right, it's about languages...

Languages are Hard - Making Voice Assistants Speak Many Languages

When we talk about languages, we will start recalling different countries, accents, people, culture, dialects, and television shows (haha, Korean languages makes me remind of TROS and Runningman).

Image result for the return of superman

So are you guys are already in process of learning new languages? '
Please do share what languages you are learning in the comment section 😊😊

btw, According to Google, mostly used language on Internet are ..

Usually the usage of language depends on their interaction with others, like who are their fans/friends , their family history(like a Russian in America, so you know Russian and English) .. or from where they belong to (which country they are in) ..

Like for me, i used both English and Malay language to communicate with others.

Talking about knowing certain languages...
Do you guys ever heard the terms of "monolingual" or "bilingual" or "multilingual"?
If you ever heard of these terms, then Congratulation, coz you're one these. So let me explain these terms one-by-one.

Monolingual
- Also known as Unilingual  (uni/mono means one, lingual means language)
-A monolingual is someone who is only capable of speaking and understanding only ONE language. 
-Compared to many countries, monolinguals are considered as a minority as they are many people who speak more than 1 language worldwide.

Compared to Monolingual,,,
Bilinguals are...
-A bilingual is someone who is fluent in 2 languages. (Bi means 2)

So are they any benefits of being bilingual. Of course, they are...
(actually, there are more, and I will list that after this :)...



As the video above also speaks about Multilingual, so they are someone who...
-Have the ability to speak and understand many languages effectively( though not necessarily perfect)

So what type of linguals you are? (Do share in comment😁✌)

For me, I am multilingual as I can speak a few languages fluently such as Malay, Urdu, Hindi, and English. I can also understand some of the languages such as Arabic, Korean, Indonesian language, and others. (I am still learning them).

Sometimes learning languages can be easier for kids but slightly harder for an adult but if they are determined in learning so... They can do it.
 
"But have you ever wonder why we should learn a new language and can't we just stick to our mother-tongue? And are there any benefits in learning them?" 

    Actually, in my opinion, it is okay if you want to stick to language that you already know/fluent in such as English. 
    But why being a bi/multilingual, according to a site named Fluentu, learning new languages help you when traveling to new countries.
Why Is The World Split Into Countries? | Vermont Public Radio

Have you ever imagined going to places that have native speakers who don't really have "an idea" about what you are speaking in your language? 
Or talking to your employees or co-workers or even your boss without understanding whatever you are talking about?

Here is one video...

While other benefits of knowing/fluent in other languages are it provide many job opportunities, stay mentally strong (it is like exercising your brain), improve social life, and increase brain health.

Benefits of a Bilingual Brain Infographic - e-Learning Infographics 

So see, there are many benefits of being bi/multilingual.

"Alright, I am convinced. 
Do you have any tips on how to learn new languages?"

Of course, I will share it. Hehe..
    For me, whenever I wanted to learn new languages, I will learn it with the help of videos, apps, and practicing.

    For videos, I will watch Youtube as there are a variety of videos. There are also some YouTubers who are experts in a language and teach the lessons. Indirectly, this would be helpful for those who love learning with the help of video or audio.


    For the videos, I will also watch movies or shows that are in another language with the help of subtitles so I would have the idea about the word.

    For the apps, I will download the multiples of apps in the Play Store to be double sure of words that I am learning. Before downloading, I will read the reviews about the app because I believe nobody would love to learn a foreign language from untrustable sources... Haha, it can be a disaster if you learn it wrong and somehow the meaning means opposite to what you think it is.

I have been learning languages using apps like Duolingo (variety of choices), Mondly Arabic, Cake (for better English), and Arabic Unlocked (you can learn normal Arab, Quranic Arab, and common 300 words in Qur'an)...

The picture below is from my Duolingo account.

Summary

No matter what is your age, even though it is easier for you to learn a language at a young age, you can still learn it as an adult. You need to put extra effort and practice in order to learn it.

If you have kids, what about you teach them languages since they are young and easy to cope with it. I have seen many families who have kids aged 4-5, who can speak 2 languages.



    Learning a language can be like an exercise to your brain and keeps your brain healthy. You can have multiple ways to learn a language, such as videos, books, language classes, apps, or with the help of a friend and others.

Tip: If you wanted to learn a foreign language easily... One way is to learn the language basic alphabets just like you did when in schools.
Sometimes we get so excited in learning that we start to learn and memorize random words and later get confused with its meaning.

Like... 
The word "eoseo oseyo" (welcome) sounds similar to seo-seyo (stand up) in Korean.
or
Hum (we) and Ab (Now) in Urdu

Learning a language is fun and adventurous... I hope you like my today's blog. 😀

Smoking: Is it safer and HALAL ?

Assalamualaikum and Hai everyone, I hope you and your family are healthy and safe...😊

`Recently on my page on IG, I have asked my followers to suggest suitable blog content for me to write... 🖍️🖍️

One of the suggestions is;

"Is flavoured & electric hookah injurious to health and your Imaan?" 🚬 🌬️

This topic quite interests me as we usually know some people in life who either smoke or vape (including smoke hookah). 

So I would write a blog regarding this.

Here is my Content List.

- Greeting

Introduction and disadvantages of consuming

- Islamic views-

 How to quit smoking?

- My point of view
-references


1.0 INTRODUCTION AND DISADVANTAGE OF CONSUMING

First of all, I will introduce cigarettes, e-cigs (E-cigarettes and vape), and Hookah (shisha).

    Cigarettes are something that we may have heard since our young age as it is widely sold for centuries. Yeah, it's pretty old. By the 1800s century, cigarettes were manufactured widely and received the name cigarette. 

Image result for cigarette

I believe we already knew about the harm of smoking since we were kids. 

Even nowadays, if I am not mistaken, even cigarette packets have warning messages with disease pictures that can be caused by smoking. Even, there is awareness spread via the television medium such as in movies or advertisements.

"But why is a cigarette dangerous when it seems just like a white paper tube filled with tobacco?" 

Disadvantages of Cigarettes. 

Actually, cigarette tubes are not only filled with tobacco but also with hundreds of ingredients. According to the American Lung Association, cigarettes contain at least 69 chemicals that cause cancer. Fuh, it's like a self-slow-killing process.

Some of them are in the picture below;

What Is In A Cigarette? Chemicals and Ingredient List Confirm How ...

For more reference, please click here.

"But you know, even if you are not a smoker and still inhale the smoke of cigarettes, it is still dangerous for you, same goes when you are a smoker and your family isn't.

Why is it like that?"

This happens because the non-smokers inhale the smoke exhaled by the smoker contains more than 4000 chemical compounds of which 250 are toxic and as I mentioned before, it also contains cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). 

We call this secondhand smoke (a combination of smoke from a burning cigarette and smoke exhaled by a smoker), so people around them who don't smoke but inhale smoke are also in danger. (I hope it is not confusing).


Smoking may protect against Parkinson's disease – but it's more ...

In easy words, the longer you are around secondhand smoke, the greater the level of harmful substances entering your body

Source: Reference

    Next, e-cigarettes. This is like a new version of traditional cigarettes and is considered safer than cigarettes by some sites but it is not proven. 

"But is it really safer?"

Before continuing, let me clear something out. 

These e-cigarettes are quite different from vape (we will discuss this too).

Vapes vs. E-cigarettes: What's the Difference?

    Ok, so the e-cigs (e-cigarettes) were introduced by a man named Herbert A. Gilbert in 1963 but since people were too fond of the real cigarettes at that time, the patent was expired. But in 2003, a Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik introduced the idea of e-cigs again.

    As time passes, vapes were introduced and it is mentioned by the Wall Street Journal that a recent Wells Fargo study suggests that vaporizers (vapes) are growing twice as fast as standard e-cigs.

"But why the sudden craze for vapes?"

    One main difference is that vapers can mix and match liquids to achieve liking in sort of flavour (such as Strawberries, Peach, Lime), cloud production (clouds of vapour), and throat hit (a feeling that gives you on the back of the throat as you inhale). In simple words, you can smoke something according to what you prefer.

Disadvantages of vaping

Many people think that vaping is better than smoking and less injurious than cigarettes but less do they know that it is still harmful to health too.

Yes, it is undeniable that vaping is also dangerous. Why am I saying this? Even though e-cigs don't have many chemicals like in ordinary cigarettes, it stills has chemicals in it.

Studies reveal that vaping can lead you to heart or lung diseases because of the presence of nicotine.

Even in studies, have shown that e-cigs will not help you to avoid traditional cigarettes as;

It is also sad to know that many people think that vaping can help reduce traditional smoking... But it is not... It is also sadder, that teenagers start vaping as their first tobacco experience...

Let me share a video with you guys.

"It is sad to say that e-cigs are becoming a trend now for nowadays kids and they don't realize the harm, they are causing to themselves."

"This maybe will be causing the next smoking epidemic through young people getting addicted to electronic cigarettes early in life"

And if you wonder why there is no specific long-term research to back up why smoking e-cigs are less harmful than traditional smoking. It is probably because a disease like Cancer takes years to develop and e-cigs were just introduced back a few decades. So it is impossible to determine whether the product increases the risk or not.

But it is better to prevent it as "Prevention Is Better Than Cure" cause I believe nobody would love to be diagnosed with cancer or any other serious disease.


    Lastly, HOOKAHS a.k.a Shisha...

Just now, we talked about e-cigs which are quite safer than cigarettes but now, WE WILL TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BAD/SIMILAR to cigarettes themselves. Again, it's hookah a.k.a shisha.

Image result for Hookah

"I remember seeing some people smoking this in an Arab restaurant and believe me when I passed through it, the smell was horrible."

Back to the disadvantages,

It is researched that tobacco in HOOKAHs is no less toxic than a cigarette, and the water inside it does not filter out the toxic ingredient as it is pack inside its container so the smokers may actually inhale the large portion of smoke in one session than cigarette smokers.

According to an article from various sites, where one of them is from the MayoClinic website, the bad effects of the hookah are;

The World Health Organisation published a report in 2005 stating that smoking using a waterpipe poses a serious potential health hazard and is not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking, as an average shisha session typically lasts more than 40 minutes and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations, each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke. (source)

.................................INTRO ENDS.....................

In conclusion, none of them are beneficial to health. It may be sufficient to satisfy the lustful ( nafs' ) needs but it won't benefit you at all.  Smoking is also injurious to the environment as it can cause air pollution as well as water and soil pollution. It also creates a huge amount of toxic waste. Smoking also impacts pets and aquatic animals.

There's one advertisement that I would like to share with you guys, later I will interpret the ad message so those who don't understand the language will understand it.


In this ad, Akshay questioned the man who was smoking and asked him why was he smoking in front of the clinic. So the man said that his wife has a girl's problem and it is expensive to treat her as everything is expensive now...
But the man doesn't realize that he may not have enough money to treat his wife by buying sanitary pads (you have to watch a PadMan Movie for this 😂😂) but instead, he has money to buy cigarettes which would kill him one day.
So by only keeping 20rp, he could save two lives which are his (by quitting smoking) and his wife.

If you are wondering about the risks of smoking.
Some of the examples are below;

Why are cigarettes not haram? - Quora

Just now, I share with you whether it is safer or not andddd it is concluded that it is NOT SAFE as "Smoking anything is injurious to health".

Now, my second point...

2.0 ISLAMIC VIEWS

  Is smoking (any of the above) even halal and permissible in Islam?

According to the site of Mufti of Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia, it is haraam to vape as well as smoke as it harms the smoker and other people. Smoking, as well as vaping, is considered an activity that harms one's health.

It is mentioned in surah an-Nisa verse 29,

"O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful."


These two references show that it is haram to consume anything that kills you (directly or indirectly) or another person.

Destroying one's health through such activities (smoking) is against the teachings of Islam as the Quran mentions in Surah al-Baqarah verse no.195.
"Do not put yourselves into destructions, and do good. Of course, Allah loves those who do good"  

Let me a share resource from Mufti Menk.


A sharing by Sh.Shady al Sulaiman.


One more reference from Dr. Zakir Naik which is seriously contentful.


And the majority of scholars and fatwas also say that smoking (cigarettes, vaping and shisha/hookah) is haram. Islam prohibits harming yourselves and others.

3.0 How to quit smoking?

1. Have a clear desire to quit smoking. (Niyah/intention)

Trust in Allah's words: "...When you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust in Him. If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; if He forsakes you, who is it — after that — that can help you? In Allah, then, let believers put their trust" (Qur'an 3:159-160).

2. Change your habits- having a better circle of friends. Avoid joining friends who are smoking at the moment. Play sports or exercise and spend time with non-smoker friends or family. 
Pray.

3. Change your routine to pursue your hobby or do things you love other than smoking like painting, cooking or watching your favorite shows.

4.Going for therapy to quit smoking.

5. Taking proper medication. 

And if you wonder this 👇


4.0 My point of view

As a science student, what I can tell is that whatever you take either by eating, inhaling, or drinking, it is going to affect your inner body without you even realizing it. 

You may feel better taking the bad things up for now and eventually, when the side effects affect you, you will have no idea. You have to fight with those desires. People may tend to start smoking either because of their friends, following trends, or even influenced by media. Seriously, smoking doesn't make you look cool as you don't how the makers of these items fool you. You have to stop taking this slow poison.

Life is beautiful and full of beneficial things so don't go for the minor bad things.

Save money and use it somewhere better, for a better future. 

I know for the part of halal and haram, many Non-Muslim will be questioning about its benefit towards them. What I can say about this is ...

Halal and Haram labels/tags are not only given based on religious factors but also from many aspects as well. They are applicable for all, no matter Muslims or Non-Muslims. So if something is Haram, it has some benefit in avoiding it.

Such as pork is Haram in Islam (mentioned in the Quran) and one of the scientific reasons why it is haram is as it can deliver many diseases to humans.
