 Description 

Park workout. Just using the bench at the park can give you a full body workout. Exercises such as bench jumps, press ups, tricep dips, planks, bench toe taps, lateral step ups, straddles and many more can give you a full body workout.

Not only can these exercises be done without any gym equipment, its also refreshing working out in the nature amidst the sounds of the birds and ducks getting ready for their day.

I recorded this video while on vacation where I had no access to a gym. This beautiful lake was just a few minutes walk from my hotel. I used the bench at this lovely park to give myself a full body workout while enjoying the mother nature.

Ask Allah for Forgiveness and Health – (Tirmidhi)

duas-for-ramadan

 Description 

It is mentioned in a Hadith in Tirmidhi, that 'Ask Allah for Forgiveness and Health, for after being granted certainty, one is given nothing better than Health.'

Allah is Al-Wahhab, the Giver of all. But this should not be the only reason for our Dua'as to be accepted. This short video explains some very important points when we are making Dua'as and these are so essential for our Dua'as to be accepted. These points are :

1. We must be able to acknowledge our mistakes, big or small. So Istighfar (repentance) is a very important part of our Dua'as. Allah is Gafur-Ur-Raheem. He accepts our repentance and forgives our sins.

2. Thank Allah for every little blessing Allah has blessed you with. Simple things like being able to walk, to see, to cook for your family. No doubt our lives would not be the same if Allah hadn't blessed us with these abilities. Allah is Ash-Shakur, the Rewarder of thankfulness. Allah says in the Quran, 'If you are grateful, I am going to increase you.'

3. Have a good intention behind your Dua'as. For example you might want to have more money. No doubt Allah is Ar-Razzak, He is the one who provides. So when you ask Allah to increase you in your Rizk (sustenance), make sure you have a good intention behind it. For example, you want to make healthier choices in life and you don't have to rely on credit cards, you want to help more people around you. So have good intentions behind your Dua'as which will not only benefit you in this world but also in the Hereafter.

Allah has given us the power to change our destiny through our Dua'as. No matter what situation you are in today, Allah can change that because of your sincere and heartfelt duas. 

Let me know in the comments section below what are your Dua'as and I pray that Allah accepts from you all. Aameen.

Etiquettes of Visiting Somebody in Islam

etiquettes-of-visitng-somebody-in-islam

 Description 

Islam teaches us certain Etiquettes of visiting somebody and explains us the reasons why these should be followed. This is one of the most important topics when it comes to the Mental and Physical Health of any person.

According to Islam there are responsibilities of a Guest and there are rights of a Host. These Rights and Responsibilities are mentioned in the Quran by Allah (swt) in Surah Nur. By not following the guidelines mentioned in the Quran, we as uninvited guests can cause negative effects on the mental and physical health of our host. Not only this, by not following these etiquettes as a guest, we can face certain inconveniences ourselves. If we all followed our religion properly, life would become so easy for each one us. 

What are the Rights of a Host and what are the Responsibilities of a Guest? Watch this video to find out what these etiquettes are in order to avoid inconveniences not only for others but also for yourself.

Fitness during Ramadan – Diet and Workout

fitness-during-ramadan

Introduction - Fitness during Ramadan 

Fitness during Ramadan becomes challenging because of the hot weather and going without food and drink for long hours. Does this mean we should stop our exercises during this month of Ramadan ? 

No doubt this holy month will need us to spend more time worshipping, understanding the Quran and increasing in our good deeds. And why not ? This is the month where one good deed is multiplied by 70 times. SubhanAllah. Don't we increase our shopping during the time of sales? We know that we are going to get more stuff by paying less. Similarly in the month of Ramadan, we should take the opportunity to increase our worship and good deeds so that we get more and more rewards. 

At the same time we cannot ignore our physical fitness completely during this month. Even though there will be limitations, we can still find out time for our workouts during this month. Its particularly important for all those who have been working out on a regular basis. Experts say, that missing out one month's workout is like missing out four months' of exercise. This means that this is going to affect our cardiovascular and resistance strength to a great extent. For all those who are totally new to exercise, this is not the month to start any new exercise program. Instead you can include some walks, light jogs or stretching exercises in your routine for this month.

We must remember, that we are not going to have the same energy level during this month, so our main aim should be to maintain our current fitness level rather than taking our exercises to a crazy level, trying to beat our personal bests or trying new exercises. Saying that, just maintaining our current fitness level could itself be challenging, but it is not impossible. We need to keep certain points in mind before starting a workout programme for this month.

These important points are listed below. Watch the video to know more :
