Oh Allah please guide us to the pathway of the light that will lead us to Jannah (Heaven) without precedent agony in hellfire. Amen.

Forgive

Aboo Hurayrah quoted Allah’s Messenger (SAW) as saying, “There was a man who used to give loans to people and tell his servant, ‘If the debtor is poor, forgive him so that Allah may forgive us.’ When he met Allah [after his death], Allah forgave him.”
(Sahih Al- Bukhari,vol.4, p.455,no 687).

Death of the Heart

Being a Slave to Allah, The One



 ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا 
يَعْلَمُونَ


 ضرب الله مثلا عبدًا مملوكًا لشركاء متنازعين، فهو حيران في إرضائهم، وعبدًا خالصًا لمالك واحد يعرف مراده وما يرضيه، هل يستويان مثلا؟ لا يستويان، كذلك المشرك هو في حَيْرة وشك، والمؤمن في راحة واطمئنان. فالثناء الكامل التام لله وحده، بل المشركون لا يعلمون الحق فيتبعونه.



  Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know.



  Allah a cité comme parabole un homme appartenant à des associés se querellant à son sujet et un [autre] homme appartenant à un seul homme: sont-ils égaux en exemple? Louanges à Allah! Mais la plupart d'entre eux ne savent pas.

#WomenInIslam



Learn..
Patience from Asiyah, 
Sincerity from Aisha, 
Purity from Maryam, 
Loyalty from Khadijah, 
Steadfastness from Fatimah

Learn from the greatest women in Islam.

Girls and ladies,
these should be your role models
not the models imposed on us by people
who pretend to call for women's rights
while they use women as an object in advertisements 
and the movie business.

Da'wah and Surat Ya-Sin


 

وجاء من أقصى المدينة رجل يسعى قال ياقوم اتبعوا المرسلين ( 20 ) اتبعوا من لا يسألكم أجرا وهم مهتدون ( 21 ) وما لي لا أعبد الذي فطرني وإليه ترجعون ( 22 ) أأتخذ من دونه آلهة إن يردن الرحمن بضر لا تغن عني شفاعتهم شيئا ولا ينقذون ( 23 ) إني إذا لفي ضلال مبين ( 24 ) إني آمنت بربكم فاسمعون ( 25 ) ) . 
 سورة يس

( 20 )   And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers. 
( 21 )   Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided. 
( 22 )   And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned? 
( 23 )   Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? 
( 24 )   Indeed, I would then be in manifest error. 
( 25 )   Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me." 
( 26 )   It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know 
( 27 )   Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored." 
Surat Yasin




 Surat Ya-Sin can be the guiding light for anyone who is trying to make Da'wah. It reminds us that one should  continue making Da'wah even if the people do not show any appreciation and sometimes even worse, they begin attacking. 

The man came from "the farthest end of the city, running" even though he would not benefit anything at all. He is not a messenger; he is just a man who believed in Allah and the three messengers who were mentioned in the verses 13-20. Yet, he felt responsible. He tried to convince them again even though he knew they killed the three messengers before. 

This is the strength and patience every Muslim should have when they carry on their shoulders the responsibility of Da'wah. 

They didn't listen to him and they threw stones on him till he was killed. Till the very last moment, he was praying for his people with guidance. Their violence against him didn't change his heart. 

Nowadays, if I give a piece of advice to one of my friends and she doesn't follow it I might think and speak ill of her. All Muslims should have the tender heart and the sweet temper of this man. 

Even after he died, he was still praying for them and hoping that they will follow the straight path.

 If we get hurt, physically or emotionally, during practicing Da'wah, we will be rewarded as this man was rewarded with Paradise. Plus, no pain will ever compare to that Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and the early companions went through so that Islam could reach to us. Always keep that thought in mind to keep you strong. 

May Allah make you all strong and grant you all the greatest reward.. Paradise.
May Allah bless you ^_^

Give thanks to Allah..

There are many blessings and boons that we take for granted.. but if we try to imagine life them, we suddenly understand their importance !

     Alhamdulilah that Allah has sent us the gift of Islam; a catalog that shows you how to live and why to live. It gives meaning to the important things like learning and contemplation and even to the trivial things like eating and sleeping.

     Alhamdulilah that we live on planet Earth that has suitable conditions for living; water, oxygen, heat, minerals, etc. Our planet turns around itself to give us the daily routine of day (for productivity) and night (for Sleep and tranquility so that we can have a fresh new start the next morning). Our planet turns around the Sun in an accurate orbit to give us the four seasons that allow different sorts and species of plant to grow. Our planet is at a specific distance from the Sun; if it moved 1 cm closer we'd burn, and if it moved 1 cm away we'd freeze! SubhanAllah and Alhamdulilah! And again, try imagining life without the Sun, no plants, no warmth, no life! Plus, would the night sky be beautiful without the Moon and Stars. To us, it might be only a matter of beauty, but let's not forget by these heavenly bodies we are able to calculate when our months start and end.

     Alhamdulilah that He (SWT) has given us the warm Family that cheers with us in our happy days and wipes our tears in our sad hours. Kiss your parents hands and hug your brothers and sisters and thank Allah for their for their presence. They are one of the very few forms of unconditional Love, besides our close Friends and relatives.

     Alhamdulilah that He (SWT) has given given us cover and shelter. We rarely thank Allah for the Clothes that keep us warm in the icy cold winter and for the ceiling that shelters us from the hot sun, the pouring rain and the painfully winter. Others do not have these blessings. No matter how simple or small, your house is, it's a House, a warm shelter.

    Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Food. Sometimes we use food extravagantly while others in regions like Somalia have been dying in massive numbers due to lack of food and water.

    Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Education that allows our mind to grow and for us to reach to the true understanding of life (Ad-Dunya) and the Afterlife (Al-Aakhera). Last, Alhamdulilah for the blessing of Technology that has made our life a lot easier.. and allowed me to deliver these few words to you! ^_^


Alhamdulilah.. Alhamdulilah.. Alhamdulilah

 but few of My servants are grateful!
