@muftimenk Four Promises from The Almighty:
1) "So Remember Me, I Will Remember You.." [2:152]
2) "If you are grateful, I will surely increase you.." [14:7]
3) "Call upon Me and I will respond to you.." [40:60]
4) "..and Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.." [8:33]
Who are among the strongest? Those who make time to help others, even when they’re struggling with their own issues. Life is about service to others. Each day, we’re preoccupied with ourselves & our selfish needs. Start reaching out to others & see how life is transformed!
"O Aisha, Allah is gentle and He loves gentleness, and He rewards for gentleness what is not granted for harshness, and He does not reward anything else like it."
- Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
[Sahih Muslim]
The Almighty never told us that this life would be all sunshine and rainbows. We’re here to be tested. The world will bring you down to your knees often. It will keep you there if you allow it. Don’t! Get right up. Keep going the way He has prescribed for us. Remain steadfast!
Anger is mostly dangerous and it has evil consequences. It can destroy relationships and harm Allah's creatures. Learn to control your anger before it controls you.
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من البرص والجنون والجذام ومن سيّى الأسقام
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-barasi, wal- jununi, wal-judhami, wa sayyi'il-asqami'
O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from leprosy, madness, elephantiasis, and evil diseases
[Abu Dawud]
You are what you feed your mind. Today we suffer from TMI! Too much information or information overload. Remember, your mental diet is just as important as your food intake. Thoughts are powerful food for your mind. What you believe, you become. So think positive thoughts!
ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار
Rabbanā ātinā fīd-dunyā ḥasanatan wa-fīl-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa-qinā ʿadhāban-nār
Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.
The life lessons sent your way are never wasted. The Almighty doesn’t waste anything. He has a reason & purpose for everything that happens in your life. It is all part of your journey. The challenges, setbacks, delays, roadblocks are all there for your own good! Trust Him!
The Almighty knows what your silent heart wants, even if you don't include it in your prayers. He hears what your heart whispers. He may not give it to you now but someday, when you least expect it, things will happen in the best possible way!
Don’t shy away from:
- Old Clothes
- Poor Friends
- Old Parents
- Simple Living
- Saying Thankyou and Sorry to those younger or older than you
- Saying Asalaamu Alaykum
May Allah guide us, protect us and grant us and all Muslims who have passed away the highest rank in Jannah
Don’t sit around & wait for things to happen. Get up & do! Work on something that will help you move forward in life; that will make you a better person, more caring, more compassionate, more selfless & more importantly leaving a mark of goodness and kindness wherever you go!
