The Messenger of ALLAH ﷺ said:
“O people, spread salaam amongst yourselves, feed people,
strengthen the ties of kinship,
and pray at night when others are sleeping; you will enter Paradise in peace.” (Tirmidhī)A♥
Ya Allah, enlighten my heart and mind with the light of knowledge.
Grant me deep understanding and a strong memory.
Guide and bless every step I take, keep my intentions pure, and protect me from laziness and heedlessness.
Ameen.
You abandon Tahajjud,
delay Fajr prayer,
neglect the two Duha rak‘ahs,
forget your morning and evening adhkar,
and have no daily portion of the Qur’an.
You give up seeking forgiveness, glorifying Allah, proclaiming His oneness, and praising Him,
and you neglect the times and places in which du‘a is most likely to be answered.
Then you come and complain that your provision is scarce and your hardship does not ease!
How can it ease when you have abandoned every path to relief?!
سيأتِي على الناسِ سنواتٌ خدّاعاتٌ؛ يُصدَّقُ فيها الكاذِبُ، ويُكذَّبُ فيها الصادِقُ، ويُؤتَمَنُ فيها الخائِنُ، ويخَوَّنُ فيها الأمينُ، وينطِقُ فيها الرُّويْبِضَةُ . قِيلَ : وما الرُّويْبِضةُ ؟ قال : الرجُلُ التّافِهُ يتَكلَّمُ في أمرِ العامةِ
أخرجه ابن ماجه وأحمد.
O Allah, we ask You to preserve the blessings we have and to protect us from harm.
Bestow upon us the sweetness of life, the greatest of blessings, plentiful rizq, and true peace of mind.
Ameen Ya Rabb.
And you think you are not being punished for your sin!
Yet you have been deprived of standing in prayer at night, of your daily portion of the Qur’an, and of the regular Sunnah prayers. Your tongue has become unable to remember Allah.
Little by little, your heart has been sealed, and you do not even realize it.
And you think you are not being punished because you are not afflicted with hardship in this worldly life!
But what greater trial is there than for a person to be deprived of closeness and connection with Allah?
Allah says:
“If I deprive My servant of his two beloved things "his eyes" and he remains patient, I will compensate him for them with Paradise.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari 5653
اللهم إني قد عصيتك فسترتني
ثم عصيتك فسترتني
ثم عصيتك فسترتني واغضبتك فرحمتني ابتعدت عنك فقربتني. اللهم إني ظلمتُ نفسي ظلمًا كثيرًا فاغفر لي فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب الا أنت وارحمني انك أنت الغفور الرحيم
لا إله إلا انت سبحانك إني كنتُ من الظالمين
1. He said no such thing. He said he had stopped the war and would look into any problems with the Accords.
2. You misled the President about #ebola in #DRC. It is not "under control".
3. Rwanda is violating the Accords but so is DRC who has yet to fully apprehend and disarm FDLR - which it must do per the Accords.
4. This isn't journalism. It's advocacy and because it is you should not call yourself a journalist.
One of the most beautiful ways to grow your love for Allah is to truly know Him. 🥹❤️
Learn His Names. Reflect on His Attributes. Get to know the One who has been there for you through every moment, even the ones you thought you were alone in.
O Allah, direct me to the most excellent manners, for no one guides to the best of it except You; and divert from me bad morals, for none can divert its evil except You.
O Allah, bestow upon us blessings in our lives, noor in our hearts, and brightness on our faces.
Grant us plentiful sustenance, firmness on the Haqq, satisfaction within our souls, and acceptance in the hearts of Your creation.
Ameen.
