We have so much to be thankful and grateful for. Allah gives to every creature no matter if they humble themselves in front of him and prays to Him or not. He even gives to people whom aren`t muslims. And He gives a lot.
When we talk about the fact that the salat is one of the five pillars of Islam, one understands the it is the foundation of our iman. If we don`t fulfill the foundations of our iman there will be something wrong with our iman, it won`t be like it should be. Some scholars say that a muslim whom doesn`t pray for more than 3 days become a kafir if he doesn`t start praying within those 3 days. But why do we pray? Why is it one of the foundations of Islam? Is it because when we pray we are giving back to Allah for everything He has blessed us with? But He even gives to non-muslims that does`t pray? Our prayers are not a business transaction between us and our Lord. That only if we pray, He will grant us. He gives in abundance no matter what. Just look at the non-muslims. They have achieved a lot even if they aren`t muslims. Though it all will go to waste on judgemnt day, when they will be the biggest Losers. Without Iman (believing in Allah and being a muslim) all their good deeds will become to dust. I was listening to a lecture from brother Yasir Qadhi and he said something very important to understand and know. We pray because Allah is worthy of praying to. SubhanAllah! Wonderful said. He is the only ilah (God) which is worthy of and can respond to our salats, supplications and prayers. Even if we don`t pray to Allah, He is still Magnificent and nothing in His Glory would become any lesser if we don`t follow our Islam. Brother Yasir Qadhi quoted that when the world will come to an end, and every creature of Allah will die, even the angels lives will come to an end. While dyeing the angels will say; SubhanAllah we have not been praying to you Allah like you are worthy of being prayed to. SubhanAllah! And the angels has prayed to Allah all day and night since they were made. Not a single moment do they do anything else than what Allah has said them to do or do they stop praying to Allah Subhanatalah! Magnificent! Allah is the Greatest! Allah does listen to our supplications and prayers. Even that is in the prayer/salat, after we do the ruku we say “sami uliman hamida, Rabbana lakalhamd”. Meaning the one whom Glorifies Allah and Praises Him, Allah has heard him and responds, and all praises is for our Lord Allah.
One thing is for sure. If we follow the guidelines that Allah has ordained for us we will surely prosper, not only in this world, bur surely in the Hereafter, which is our final home. I hope that we muslims will try our best to not be negligent and that we fulfil every duty that Allah has given us. May we one day experience the delights of Jannah and be saved from the torment of fire in jahannum. Ameen summa ameen. Remember the whole Ummah in your prayers and supplications.
Sometimes one meets people one get a long with, or you dislike something in them, and in fewest times they become your enemy. We people are different from each other and some people i get a long with, you might not like at all. Each and every have their own way of thinking and behaviour, either they bring them closer or further away from each other.
Sometimes things one do in one’s life can make people disliking them. Other times their attitude towards life brings them closer to each other.
If some people have ever hurt you some time knowingly or unknowingly in your life, pray to Allah and forgive them. Because no-one can know what the intention of the other person was. There is one hadis where a sahabi was in a war against non-muslims where one of his fellow sahabi was killed. The killer got seized by a sahabi that saw him killing his fellow sahabi and was going to kill him when he said the shahada (embraced Islam). Even though the sahabi heard him say that he believed in the God of Muhammad the sahabi killed him. When this news came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he approached that particular sahabi whom killed the new muslim and said over and over again that did you see his heart, how could you know if he was saying the truth or not, i.e how could you kill him when you didn`t know. SubhanAllah! Only Allah knows our intentions. Even if someone hurts you, it could be that it wasn`t his / her intention to do that and that it wasn`t on purpose.
The Prophet has said many times that the person whom loves for his brother what he loves for himself has his emaan on the right place. Meaning pray what you want to happen to yourself, that it happens to the whole Ummah, not only you, but everyone. When you do that one of the Angels that are with us humans 24/7 would say ” and you shall have likewise”. SubhanAllah! The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us to be sincere in our religion, and when we are miraculous things happen. Either we get what we prayed for our we get a substitute that is far better than what we wanted. Allah knows best 
We pray and pray that Allah give me this, give me that, but only Allah knows if that thing or that person is good or bad for us. And as Allah wants, so happens. If it is meant to happen nothing can take it away, and if not, nothing can bring it closer. Be content with what you have. Allah knows what is best for each and every and the best to decide. If Allah has decided something for you, be happy and contended and know it is for the best.
Actually if you love someone and that person is someone else`s don`t use too much energy in making that person’s life miserable. After all if you truly love that person you would actually pray that he / she is happy, you wouldn`t make his /her life more miserable. If you would do that it isn`t love, that is obsession and hate. And where there is obsession and hate there is no room for love.
When we show gratitude to Allah he bestows us with so many blessings that we can`t even imagine. Just keep on praying and being sincerely thankful and so Allah will make your life the most pleasant life ever. Because when we are truly thankful to Allah and that can be seen in our conduct Allah showers even more blessings on us. And voila you ARE happy
It`s not hard, you need to believe that everything happens for a reason. Most of the things that happens to us is pre-decreed. Although we are entitled to change some by what we do in our life, because we have a mind and can differentiate between right and wrong. But Allah knows what we are going to do in every situation of our life, so he has recorded it. Believe me sometimes something happens to us, and we cry to Allah, that why did that happen, and it goes a couple of years and we see why. Yes , because something better was going to happen, and to give you that something better, Allah needed to take something away from you in order to give you something much better.
It`s incredible, but I know now that Allah knows best, and you if you do not know, you will InshaAllah soon find out SubhanAllah! Be happy with what you have and you are of the richest of people. SubhanAllah
One would become a better dai by being a better human being. We can`t call ourselves good muslims by all the backbiting and lying each and every person does. By working on our universal values, we can be better ambassadors for our religion as well. Sometimes in between my work and home i sometimes get the idea that i want to become a dai. Though actually we are dai`s each and every Muslim/Muslimah. Other non-muslims learn or think what Islam is by the muslim people`s conduct. If we are good muslims from our heart and obey the rules and regulations in islam than also the non-muslims will want to become successful as well by converting to Islam. I`m counting in myself in, that I need to learn more about Islam and strive to become a better Muslimah. I have seen that some people neglect what our Prophet has taught us about Ikhlas. If we with the hadis sharif manage to put the ikhlas of our Prophet in conduct than inshaAllah we will see people around us wanting to learn more about Islam and being eager to talk to us about it, because our Prophet has the perfect conduct anyone could ever have, MashaAllah.
When we will portray the true message of what Islam is by our conduct, we would become wonderful human beings and second we would inshaAllah one day become better muslims. Discussion is healthy, but what we need to focus on is ikhlas in every matter, also in discussions, so that the people would want to learn more about our Prophet, whom has taught us this behaviour. If we win all the arguments then the other side might become angry and lose sight of what is right or wrong, because in anger one can`t think right. Though if we are genuinely kind to others like our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was kind, in our conduct than that would rub over on our surroundings, be at work or home and they would also inshaAllah want to become a Muslim/Muslimah.
When we read comments of articles or blogs at different islamic sites, we see muslims almost fighting with non-muslims or being very rude when they answer them back, they would think that every Muslim/Muslimah is like that. And because of that they won`t want to become muslims. When we from our conduct give a bad impression of Islam by not following it correctly, people will go away from Islam. What kind of dai`s are we then? The opposite of what we actually should be, don`t you think? I`m not saying that we should be flattering to everyone, i`m saying that we should be genuinely kind like our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was.
The conclusion is that we as muslim should learn more about our religion and be sincere in adhering it to our daily lives, so that other non-muslims would inshaAllah admire us and want to adopt our behaviour that we have learned from our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) into their life. This would push them to learn more about our Prophet Muhammad and Islam. We are dai`s either we want to be it or not, it comes along with the tag Muslim/Muslimah, so let’s do the best of it When it is our responsibility we would also be questioned about it from Allah Subhanatalah on judgement day. So why not make such a wonderful impression that we InshaAllah can achieve jannah in account of it Ameen summa ameen.
Each and every person wants to be positive. People admire others whom are positive and wants to learn as much they can from they because having a positive outlook to life not only increases their success rate but also makes sure that they have good surroundings. Some people read positive books to learn from the best. Other listen to lectures and learn from people they admire the most.
Once in a while each and every can lose their positivism, but mostly people bounce back after having a hard time. It is mostly because they have positive surroundings and have that inner positive feeling that keeps them going no matter how hard life becomes. It is important to be positive because no matter what happens in life there is always something to be thankful for. And Allah loves Muslims whom are thankful. Because of their gratefulness to Allah they become even more succesful than before.
One should always be positive, but that doesn`t mean that one should be blind to reality. If something isn`t going to happen, than one needs to make new goals and try better to achieve them instead of running after something that they have lost.
Sometimes one makes wrong choices in life, and these choices decide what is going to happen in our future. It`s never late to change ones way, try your best and making new goals. Because each and every person in this world can be succesful without dragging others down. What one can try is to focus on now, be a good muslim / muslimah, do good deeds and focus on Islam.
I guess if one focuses on Islam with a real intention about becoming a better human being first and then a good Muslim / Muslimah than ones i bound to succeed, some way or the other. Allah makes the way and one just follows. The best guidance we can get is from Prophets Muhammed (pbuh) Sunnah and the Quran. Be a good Muslim / Muslimah and every thing else will follow. Alhamdolillah, May Allah make us amongst the Muslims whom will achieve Jannah and forever bliss in the hereafter. Ameen summa ameen.
Allah has a plan for everything, and knows what is happening at all times. He knows what is best for us and what we need to work on. He gives and gives and expects us to give back by praying and doing good deeds.
Some people think that if Allah has a plan and everything is decided than why do anything, because we can`t change whats happening. That is not correct. Because Allah wants us to do our bit of hard work. If Allah has planned our rizk it doesn`t mean that we stay home and wait for Allah to come and give us food, no we go out of our home and earn our living. In the same way if something is happening in our life that we pray to Allah to help us with it. No matter what it is. When it is only He whom has full control of all things in the universe, why not ask Him of everything be it little or not, because he is the only one whom can take us out of our troubles. Have full faith in Allah, keep praying and doing your best, so He will inshaAllah give us a pleasant life and give us everything that is best for us. InshaAllah ameen Allah humma ameen.
The whole version: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said: Gabriel came to me with a clean mirror in his hand and said: ” this is Jumu`ah. God has made it obligatory on you, so that it may be a festival for you and after you for your followers.
The Prophet (PBUH) said: ”What good there is for us in it?” Gabriel answered: You have got an auspicious ( lovende, gunstig) time in it. If someone seeks anything to God at this time, God has promised that He will give it to him. If he is deprived of that additional things are given to him in this connection. If anyone wants to save himself from evil on that day, God saves him from a greater calamity (katastrofe) or a like calamity which has been decreed on him.
I said (Muhammad pbuh) “what is this black dot on it?( The mirror)” He (Gabriel) said ” This is the Hour of the day og jummah which is the best day in our estimation. In the last day we will call it the day of increase. This is because your Lord, High and Exalted has a valley in Paradise which is more redolent than white musk. On the day of Al-Jumu`ah Allah High and Exalted will descend from the illiyyeen unto His Throne. His Throne is then surrounded by pulpits of lights. The Prophets will come and sit on this pulpits. The pulpits will then be surrounded with couches of gold. The truthful servants of Allah and the martyrs will come and sit down on them. Then the dwellers of Paradise will come and sit down on the dunes. Thereafter their Lord will come and show himself to them and they will look at His Countenance while He tells them, `I fulfilled my promise to you and completed my favour upon you. This is the place of My Honour. So ask me for whatever you want. And they will ask Him of His pleasure. Allah will say`it is My pleasure that brought you to my Paradise and made you attain My Honour. So ask me of something else. They will continue to ask him until they will be done with their requests. Then, it will be opened for them – for as long as it takes people to leave the mosque on the day of jumu`ah – what no eye has ever seen no ear has ever heard and no heart ever imagined. Allah will then ascend onto His Throne, and the martyrs and the truthful servants will ascend with him. The inhabitants of the chambers will then return to their flawless pearly and white chambers or to their chambers of rubies or green chrysolite whose rivers flow perennially and whose fruits hang in pairs.They the dwellers of Paradise shall be in need of nothing greater than the day of Al-Jumu`ah so they can have more Honour and have more opportunity to look at the Countenance of their Lord, High and Exalted. That is why the day will be called the day of increase.
(recorded by ibn Abid-dunya and At-tabararni in Al-Mujam Al-Awsat; the narration is graded Hasan in view of other corroborating narrations).
