10 Important Short English Essays

(1) MY FAVORITE PERSONALITY

Creator Created many blessings, but the creation of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) is the greatest blessing for creatures. Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was born in Makkah on 571 A.D. He belonged to the tribe of Quraish. His father died before his birth. His uncle brought him up nicely. He led a life of simplicity and honesty. Therefore, the people of his locality called him honest and truthful, His childhood and youth were the witnesses of his character. He married Hazrat Khadija at the age of forty.

He began to preach to people of the oneness of Allah with love and complete devotion. He was very kind and sympathetic, Even an old woman who threw garbage on Him. He comforted her with medicine, swept her house, and forgave her Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) Preached the people to worship one Allah and do not bend before anyone for their cravings.

Allah said in his undoubted book, “and we sent you not but as a blessing for all the worlds” Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) left this mortal world at the age of 63. May Allah shower His blessings on Him? Aamin!

(2) MY FAVOURITE BOOK

A book is a matchless companion of man. I have read many books. They are important and interesting according to their own value. But I like the most the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran is my favorite book. It is written in the Arabic Language. It contains thirty parts and 114 chapters. Some chapters are very long and some are very short. The longest chapter in this book is Surrat-ul-Baquara and the shortest is Surrat-ul-Kausar.

Allah revealed this book on His beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad ( P.B.U.H) in about 23 Years. It is His last Message for the betterment of mankind. I recite it daily after the Fajar prayers and feel satisfaction. I also read its Urdu translation to understand the revelation of Allah almighty. This book tells me more much about other previous prophets and their followers. It advised us to offer Prayers. Give alms, keep fast and perform Hajj. It advised us to offer prayers, give alms, keep fast, and perform Hajj, It preaches us to obey our parents, do well for our relatives, neighbors, and other members of society.

To sum up, it is an undoubted book and is a complete code of life. We should love this book and lead our lives according to its teachings.

(3) AN ACCIDENT OR AN INCIDENT

Life is the name of accidents or incidents. Some accidents give us sorrow and some happiness. One day, I was going to school on my cycle. I was in a hurry as I was getting late for school. My friend Tom was also on his cycle. All of a sudden, a car came from the opposite side and struck my friend’s cycle. My friend fell from his cycle. His leg broke away and his head began to bleed.

All the people gathered at the spot and said that it was no mistake of the car driver but Tom. He put Tom in his car and took him to Civil Hospital. Doctors tried their best to save Tom’s life but not could compete with nature. After the treatment of two hours, Tom left this mortal world.

The car driver was very anxious to listen to the news about Tom’s death. But Tom’s father forgave him and said it was not his fault but it was the decision of the Creator. Car driver thanked Tom’s father with torn eyes and went away.

Health is better than any other thing in the world. I get up with the first crow of cock. I go to my friend’s house. We go to the mosque. We offer the ablution and say our morning prayers. After this, we meet many people on the way. We also enjoy the sweet songs of the birds. We also bathe in the river. After this, we sit in a garden near the river. The sweet smell of flowers makes us happy. The cool running water and fresh air make us active. When the sun rises, we return home. The breakfast is ready. We take breakfast and change our clothes and go to school together. In short, a morning walk is the best for health and I never miss them.

The Quaid Hockey Club defended their goal nicely, So, neither of the two clubs could score a goal in the first half. In the second half, the game was very brisk from the start. The Quaid Club made a graceful attack. The captain tried his best and succeeded to enter in the “D” and threw the ball in the net. Thus, the first goal of the match was scored.

The supporters of the Quaid Club raised slogans, but the players of the Iqbal Club did not lose heart. They began to play with care and also scored a goal in no time.

Now the game became more exciting. But neither team could score a goal in spite of its best efforts. At last, the referee blew his whistle and the match ended in a draw.
