Time for a Change

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim


Lets Change

This is yet another thing that made me feel as if I am being slapped in the face. Here are the ten things that we were blessed with but we sometimes neglect, as noted by Shyakh al-islam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyah. Masha Allah...
  1. our knowledge - are we practising what we know about Islam?
  2. our actions - are we sincere enough?
  3. our wealth - are we spending for the sake of islam?
  4. our hearts - is it filled with love for Allah, the hereafter, peace & content?
  5. our bodies - are we using it for ibadah and services for Allah's sake?
  6. our love - is it manifested towards Allah and Allah alone?
  7. our time - have we compensated enough to cleanse us of our sins (taubat)?
  8. our intellect - is it used for contemplation & reflection?
  9. our service - are we doing things to bring us closer to Allah?
  10. our dhikr - does it affect our hearts and actions?
"which of the blessings of Allah's (favours) do ye (djinn & human) deny?"
[ar-Rahman]
wallahua'lam
All praises be unto Allah, the Lord of the universe
