O' Allah, I Love You So Much...

The Almighty gives us so much without us asking, so if He doesn't give what we ARE asking for He knows it's better for us not to have it.

When the Almighty has given us the means to achieve something, then prayer on its own without the effort, proves lack of understanding.

The damage done by actions or utterances in a fit of rage can be detrimental so strive to control your temper.

Your dress includes your character & your behaviour speaks volumes about your dressing so dress decent in every aspect of the word.

Reach out to the distressed as best as you can. One day when in distress the world will reach out to you.

Three categories of people we should pray for today & everyday.  The deceased, the sickly & the distressed.

Call out to the Almighty Alone & He will meet your needs. His Help is very close & He is even closer.

For the sinful, piety is a step away & for the pious, becoming sinful is a step away too, so don't underestimate Satan's plan.

Ameen...

Before performing Sal'ah (prayer) have you ever thought that:

While you are listening to Adhan, the Compeller of heaven and earth is calling you to meet Him?

While you are making Wudu, you are preparing yourself to meet The KING of all the Kings?

While you are on the road to go to the Masjid or going to your prayer mat , you are responding the call of ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), the Great Lord of the Mighty Throne !

While you are making Takbirat al Ihram, you are standing between the hands of you Creator The Authoritative

While you are reciting Sura'h Al Fatiha, you are in a private and intimate conversation with Your Lord, The All Hearing, The All Knowing

While you are performing the gestures of Sal'ah, Angels (whose number is known only by ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)), are still in ruku and others are still in sujud for thousands of years!

While you are in sujud, you are in the greatest and the most beautiful place: near to your Lord, The One and Only !!

While you are making tasleem (salams at the end of prayer), the most beautiful feeling that you can have in that moment is that you can’t wait the next sal'ah to meet your Lord The Most Compassionate, The Merciful !!

Oh ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) grant persons who read this the highest level of Jann'ah, and save them from hell fire, Allah Humma Aa'meen

Da'wah ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)

Warnings About Missing the Fajr Prayer

 The Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are ‘Isha and Fajr [ because they prefer the comfort of sleep to prayer], but if they only knew what they contain, they would come even if they had to crawl.”
[Ahmad]

And

“Whoever prays the dawn prayer [Fajr], then He is under Allah’s protection. So beware, O son of Adam, that Allah doesn’t call you to account for being absent from His protection for any reason.”
[Muslim]

If the rewards do not convince us, once we understand the seriousness of going about our day without Allah’s protection around us for the day in which we missed Fajr, that should push us to make every effort to wake up the next morning, and keep trying, until we establish its observance as a habit.

Wise words... Subhanallah...

When a bend of sin turns you away from the Almighty, straighten the wheel quickly with repentance & you will find Him waiting for you with forgiveness.

Prove Your Love Daily

What’s the point of trying to impress the women of the world and send them gifts with messages, emails, phone calls, cards, roses etc when the wife you chose and the “Queen” who bore your children is ignored. She deserves all that and more!

How can one day be set aside for love when the year has 365+ days? It’s a cheap way to run away from responsibility and abuse women. A daily sacrifice is required to prove love, and the sweetest of statements which should be reflected in our behaviour should be routinely repeated – but to those who really deserve them!

The most deserving of our kindness, love and affection throughout our lives are our spouses, children, parents, siblings & family before everyone else. Don’t jump the gun by going further at the expense of those closer.

Did you know that many homes are broken on Valentines over a rose! Where did it comes from, why was it sent, why was it not sent etc. What a great deception.

Blessed are those who are conscious of their Maker for indeed a true believer is transparent & avoids all sinful hidden private secret relations that only add stress in life after the short excitement.

Let’s not be from those who “Fought-in February”

Gentle reminders...

Gentle reminders from Mufti Ismail Menk...

If you are trying to be steadfast & Satan whispers, be assured that you are heading in the right direction so don't fall for his attempts.

 "The book that you will be surprised to read although you authored it is your own book of deeds on the day of Judgement so author it well."

 If we enjoy causing pain to others, remember it won't be enjoyable when pain returns to us one day.

 Be mindful of how you praise people, for exceeding the limits in praise can affect your relation with the Owner of all Praise.

 People are good but Satan is bad. Fight the devil within to begin with & see how many solutions you find.

Do your best and let God do the rest...

A gentle reminder from Mufti Ismail Menk.  May this reminder help others as much as it helps me to stay on the right path,  Amiiin.

***

When things do not go exactly the way we wanted, when we do not achieve what we have tried so hard to achieve or when we feel so let down by others, then always know that for as long as we have faith and trust in the Almighty, He definitely has something better in store for us, has saved us from a calamity or disaster that would have been in our path or has elevated our status through surrendering to His decree.

We are not considered believers until we are pleased with the Decisions of the Almighty.

This will save us from much anxiety and depression.

Try your best and leave the rest to Him.
