Always the Best

I was blog hopping along the lovely blogs of reminders and this one just complete my day. Alhamdulillah (click)

Allah Gives, without reckoning

Sufyan at-Thawri r.a:

Verily, when Allah withholds, He actually gives, because He did not withhold on account of miserliness or stinginess, but rather He looked at the benefit of the servant. So, the fact that He withheld is actually His choice for the servant and His excellent decision.”

[Madarij as-Salikeen 2/215]

Wallahua'lam

All praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe

Syukur

Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem

Hanya apabila kita pernah merasai kemarau
Barulah kita menghargai nilai hujan walaupun setitik

Allahumma sayyiban nafi'a

Dalam kekalutan menhadapi mehnah dunya
Kadangkala kita terleka
Dari menghargai
Apa yang ada di depan mata

Have we thanked Allah today?

Wallahua'lam
Segala puji hanya bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam

Jalan Masih Panjang

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-raheem

Lost and Found

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

All praise to Allah for the blessings He bestows us. I was talking to my colleague at work,and she shared with me a few of her life experiences. After sitting and reflecting on what she had told me, and what she sincerely want in life, I realize that in every soul, there is a thirst to know more about Allah, to be closer to Him, just to feel the sweetness of iman that quenches one's dry heart and soul. But, due to the impurities that engulfed the heart as human grow, it becomes difficult - to admit to oneself that one needs Allah and follow what Allah had delineated in the Quran and what the prophet (pbuh) had modeled.

I remembered when Allah Guided me to the people who strive for jannah and I sincerely missed those moments. The moment when everything was new and fresh, where the words of Allah and reminders permeates the air and you drank it like it was liquor. Feeling as if you will be drunk on the words but you feel more alive, your heart clears up all the clogged blood vessels and pumps fresh and satisfying drink from the fountain of iman and knowledge.

Those were the days and now is the time to practice.
And I tell you, it is not easy.

And to note, those people were still around
And still do what they do best
Spreading knowledge & iman

Seek sincerely and you will be Found

When you purify your hearts just as you purify your garment, union with God will follow. If you sincerely seek union with God, then seek Him inside your hearts and leave the world alone
[Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani]

Wallahua'lam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the world

A reminder, just in case we forget

Being Muslims

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

How beautiful is the akhlaq of true muslims?


Alhamdulillah for the blessing of islam & iman

When muslims are in need, they enjoined in sadaqah
When muslims are oppressed, they pray for their oppressor & corrects him
When muslims see another muslim's shame, they hide it
When muslims see corruption, they stop it by their hand, tongue and heart
When muslims are in pain, they are thankful to Allah
When muslims are in happiness, they are still thankful to Allah
When muslims sit by themselves, they reflect on their deeds & Allah
When muslims do their work, the end is in Allah's hand
When muslims smile, it is sadaqah
When muslims give presents, it is for brotherhood for the sake of Allah
When muslims travel, they invoke to Allah at all time
When muslims seek for knowledge, they seek it first from Allah
When muslims found a teacher, they make du'as for the teacher
When muslims learn about others' pain, they make du'as for them & help them
When muslims feel that they are betrayed, they repent to Allah

But one might wonder
Why did a muslim do all these deeds?
How did a muslim know about the benefits of all these deeds?
What are the benefits of all these deeds?

Seek knowledge of the hereafter
Learn the Quran
Study the Hadeeth
Discover the truth

That this life is for rent
And in any moment
You can be taken away from it
For the Final Judgement
So, like true muslims
Let's be prepared to be judged by Allah, The Most High

Subhanallah walhamdulillah lailahailallah wallahu akbar

Wallahua'lam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the world
