Hard times and calamities are blessings from ALLAH for believers

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 12th day of Ramadhan (Friday 17th May 2019). *_Hard times and calamities are blessings from ALLAH for believers_*. BismilLaahirRahmaanir Raheem

I like sharing about this topic mostly because many of our brothers and sisters sell their eemaan(believe) into kufur AstaqfurirulLah due to some Hardship. What a cheap bargain to sheitan. Let's find out why ALLAH test us according to Quran and sunnah.

1) Reveal the Patient from the Impatient:
“And certainly, I will test you with a bit of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits. But give glad tidings to the patient ones who, when afflicted with a calamity, say: “Truly! To ALLAH we belong and truly, to HIM we shall return.” They are those upon whom are the blessings, descend from their Lord, and they receive HIS Mercy, and it is they who are guided.” (Qur’an 2:155-157). Allahu Akbar.

2) To forgive Our Sins and Reward the Righteous: ALLAH do test us with sufferings so that He can forgive our sins and prepare us for Jannat. We should stop sinning if we don't want any suffering in dunya.

3) Purify the Ranks and Distinguish the Righteous from the Wicked:
“ALLAH will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now until HE distinguishes the wicked from the good.”(Qur’an 3:179)
“And when the believers saw the Confederates, they said: “This is what ALLAH and HIS Messenger had promised us, and ALLAH and HIS Messenger had spoken the truth,” and it only added to their faith and submissiveness. ” (Qur’an 33:22).

4) Emphasize the Hardships of This World in Comparison to the Hereafter:
“Blessed is HE in Whose Hand is the kingdom, and HE is Able to do all things. The One Who has created death and life in order to test you and see which of you is best in deed, and HE is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.” (Qur’an 67:1-2).

5) Expose the Reality of the Human Being: You find some Muslims who claim to be Muslims but as soon as little test of hardship hit them, you find them going to pastors and sooth Sayers for help instead of crying to ALLAH. Such are the loosers who has failed their spiritual test. Remember that the entire evil of mankind and jinn kind can come together to harm you but they cannot succeed unless if ALLAH permit and if ALLAH permit then no one can expel it except ALLAH so maintain your relationship with ALLAH and fear NO ONE.

*_May ALLAH aid us to pass HIS test in dunya(in this life), forgive our sins, Protect us from sinning and grant us Jannatul Firdaus by His Rahmah_*. Aameen.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
