"Be grateful no matter what the calamities are. Remember, miracles can happen in seconds, only when Allah wills it. It can happen today, maybe tomorrow and maybe it will happen some other day. Allah says: give the glad tidings to the patients. So, be among the patient and help is just round the corner!"
It has become common for people to #worry about their past and future. They #worry to such an extent that those #worries become detrimental to their #health. These #worries and #tensions are associated with #high#bloodpressure and #heartdiseases. They fail to think that yesterday has passed with good and evil, while tomorrow has not yet arrived. People during those times fail to think that Allah has written our #destiny before our birth. So whatever happens #good/evil happens by His Will He is #AlAleem (All knowing) and #AlHakeem(The Most Wise).
Surah Al-Hadid (The Chapter of Iron) verse 22 states:
“No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al Lawh Al Mahfooz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah.”
Know that Allah’s knowledge encompasses all of creation and He knows everything that His creation will do. Even before they do.
We always tend to think that people's lives are better the ours. The funny thing is that others think that our lives are better than theirs! The secret is: the lack of content and satisfaction with what you have. Allah says: Few of My servants are truly thankful." The happiest man on earth is a true believer who is content! O Allah make us thankful and content with whatever you give us.
--Sheikh Assim AlHakeem
You are GUARANTEED an answer from Allah. Without a doubt, it is IMPOSSIBLE for your dua to be ignored. Allah will provide from sources you could never have imagined. Open yourself to unanticipated opportunities.
The marking difference between suicide and martyrdom operation: Taking an example, suppose a man who has an armour on him that protects him from arrows, spears and swords. This man, for some reason, is disappointed with Allah's qadr, and he goes to the scene of a raging battle, removes his armour and exposes his body to the shooting arrows, and to swords and spears and gets killed. Undoubtedly everyone will agree that it was a suicide. No doubt regarding that. BUT.... Mu'aadh ibn 'Afraa said: "O Messenger of Allah! What makes the Lord laugh upon His slave?" He(s.a.w.) said: "His immersing his hand bare into the enemy." So he put aside the armour that was on him and fought till he was killed, may Allah be pleased with him. (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah: 5/338) Mu'aadh bin 'Afraa did the same thing as that man did, but what that man did was suicide, but no one will dare to call what Mu'aadh bin 'Afraa did as suicide! Because it was the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. himself who inspired him to do that, and thus what made the difference was solely "INTENTION", in the first case same act was suicide, while in the second case it was what we call "Istishhaad"(seeking martyrdom) by a Fidaai(self-sacrificing) Mujahid fee sabeelillah. And the hadeeth clearly suggests that martyrdom operations are not just permissible, rather mustahabb!
AMAZING! Gem from Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan's Ramadan Series - The Musabbihaat.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - People might have a good opinion of you and people might have a bad opinion of you, none of that means anything to Allah. Allah's opinion of you has nothing to do with people's opinion of you. If people think you are great that is no guarantee that Allah thinks you are great. NONE!! NONE!! You are kidding yourself.
If people think you are terrible... you are going to hell.. you are evil.. that is no guarantee that Allah thinks you are evil Allah still has love for you. What people think of me and what people think of you MEANS NOTHING!! with Allah.. When people praise us and people condemn us we don't let that make us think 'O thats how Allah thinks of me'.
On one hand people become delusional when people praise them, they think they are praise worthy with Allah - they become delusional - hypocrisy sets in, self righteousness sets in and they lose all ranking with Allah. Then all they get is duniya and people's praise. And they come in front of Allah and Allah says 'you got what you were working for - you got nothing with me' . And on the other hand you have people who may be trying to do good but others judge them and pass verdicts on them, they start thinking 'people think I am messed up - I must be messed up'. Who told you, you are messed up? Allah dint give up on you - You gave up on yourself. Allah says I dint judge you - I kept the doors of tawba open for you. I had the invitation open - why did you give up on me? Dont blame people, blame yourself. via:The Ideal Muslimah

✔- Worldly wealth in abundance ✔-Excellent health ✔-Spiritual wealth and health in profusion ✔-Children to be proud of ✔-A loving, caring, submissive wife ✔-Total Societal acceptance ✔-Everything anybody can dream to have
✔✔--And Giving Shukr to Allah for all these blessings every moment of everyday. [Double Check]
And then Allah decides to take away every one of the above. He loses his wealth, his health deteriorates, his children die, his wife leaves him, the society shuns him, and he is abandoned in the outskirts of the town that used to call home.
He didn’t lose one thing though: His unshakable, resolute faith in his Creator. He kept praising Allah, gave Shukr to Him even when sores erupted all over his body and he couldn’t even move. He thanked Allah when there wasn’t a soul around to even help him for his basic needs. He thanked Allah for guiding him, for making him understand the Truth. He thanked Allah for keeping him alive. He thanked Allah for all those many years of blessings, realizing how ungrateful he would be if he complained for those that he lost for only a short while.
His exceptional devotion and deep trust in Allah, gave him back every single one of the blessings that had been taken from him. More richer and more abundant.
There isn’t another human created, who had such strength of belief that even in adversity, he praised Allah for the blessings that had been bestowed.
Prophet Ayyub is one of a kind. A beautiful, gorgeous example of what a believing slave truly is. His story, for you and me is: to imbibe from.
Shaykh Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawziyyah (rahimahullaah) comments:
“It was said: ’it is when the heart knows that the Lord is sufficient for the slave, if he (truly) put his trust in Allaah, he would be pleased with what Allaah does, a man is a mutawakkil (one who puts his trust in Allaah) when he is pleased with Allaah as Wakeel ... ... Tawakkul is to cut the heart’s attachments to other than Allaah Tawakkul is to submit to the decree of the Lord Tawakkul has three levels: putting trust (in Allaah), then submitting, then entrusting (one’s affairs to Allaah); so the one who puts his trust (in Allaah) is reassured by His promise, and the one who submits is content with His knowledge, and the one who entrusts (his affairs to Allaah) is pleased with His decree.’” [Source: Madaarij us-Saalikeen; Tawakkul; Volume 1, p. 522-524]
Prayers are invisible, but they make the imposible things possible. It is ALLAH SWT who works the wonders. Our job is simple : PRAY, BELIEVE,make an effort and be PATIENT...
"There are some people who enter your life like gems. These are the real diamonds. They have no ulterior motives, no inferiority complex, no superiority complex, no need to prove that they are better than you, or seek to have more than you.
They don’t feel entitled and aren’t needy or dependent. They are not superficial or fake. They remind you of God and they understand you, when no other person does. They don’t wear a mask with you or pretend to be perfect. They are just real with you and honestly and sincerely only want good for you.You feel you can tell them anything without worrying that they will judge you or put you down for being imperfect. They know your flaws, but love you anyway. And they are loyal. You know they’ll be there for you. They'll always have your back. And best of all, time and distance doesn’t change this.
If you’ve met even one person in your entire life like this, you’re blessed."
Every Muslim must have good hopes from his Lord and must wait patiently for His favour; because the One Who has the power to say, "Be" to something and it is, is worthy to be trusted regarding His promise. No one can bring good except for Him and no one can ward off evil except for Him. For every action He has wisdom and after every hour He brings ease. He gives to be thanked and He puts to trial to know who is patient. Therefore it is in the best interest of the Muslim to strengthen his tie with his Lord and ask Him more frequently.
"If you feel sad or emotionally hollow and confused as to why you’re just not feeling like yourself lately, then pray. Make dua that Allah detaches your heart from anything worldly and temporary and anything that will tarnish your good intentions or keep you from improving yourself. Ask Him to remove this dunya from your heart and ask Him to make you among those with whom He is pleased with and close to. Just ask. That’s all it takes."(Umme Muhammad)
Prophet Mohammad (SallAllaju 'Alaihi Wasallam) said that; "No soul will die until it has completed its appointed term and received its provision in full, so fear Allah, and do not be desperate in seeking provision, and no one of you should be tempted to seek provision by means of committing sin if it is slow in coming to him, for that which is with Allah can only be attained by obeying Him.”
