Thought For The Day*

*Thought For The Day*

👉 Ibrahim At-Taimi says:

In my heart, I imagined myself in Paradise eating from its fruits, drinking from its water and embracing its virgin women. I also imagined myself in hellfire, eating from its zaqqum, drinking from its puss, and being chained in its chains and fetters. So I asked myself, "What do you wish for?", it said 'I wanted to be returned to the life of the world so that I perform righteous deeds.' I said, 'you are still where you wish to be, so work'.

*DU'Ā : THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF THE BELIEVER* (148)

اَللّٰھُمَّ اخْرُسْنِيْ بِعَیْنِکَ الَّتِيْ لَا تَنَامُ، وَاکْنُفْنِيْ بِکَنَفِکَ الَّذِيْ لَا یُرَامُ، وَاغْفِرْلِيْ بِقُدْرَتِکَ عَلَیَّ فَلَا أَھْلِکُ، وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِيْ ، فَکَمْ مِّنْ نِّعْمَۃٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِہَا عَلَيَّ قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا شُکْرِيْ، وَکَمْ مِّنْ بَلِیَّۃِ نِ ابْتَلَیْتَنِيْ بِہَا قَلَّ لَکَ عِنْدَھَا صَبْرِيْ ۔ فَیَا مَنْ قَلَّ عِنْدَ نِعْمَتِہٖ شُکْرِيْ فَلَمْ یَحْرِمْنِيْ ، وَیَا مَنْ قَلَّ عِنْدَ بَلِیَّتِہٖ صَبْرِيْ فَلَمْ یَخْذُلْنِيْ، وَیَا مَنْ رَّاٰنِي عَلَی الْخَطَایَا فَلَمْ یَفْضَحْنِيْ

Allāhummah-rusī bi’aymikal-latī lā tanām(u), wak-nufnī bikanafikal-ladhī lā yurām(u), wagh-fir lī biqudratika’alayya fa lā ahlik(u), wa anta rajā’ī. Fa kam min ni’matin an’amta bihā ‘alayya qalla laka ‘indahā shukrī, wa kam mim baliyyatinib-talaytanī bihā qalla laka ‘indahā sabrī. Fa yā man qalla ‘inda ni’matihī shukrī fa lam yahrimni, wa yā man qalla ‘inda baliyyarihī sabrī shukri fa lam yahrimnī,wa yā man qalla ‘inda baliyyatihi sabrī fa lam yakhdhulnī, wa yā man ra’āni ‘alal-khaţāya fa lam yafdahni.

O Allah, watch over me with Your Eye that never sleeps, protect me with Your unassailable patronage, and forgive me by virtue of Your power over me so that I may not perish. You are my Hope. How many a bounty there is with which You have favoured me; yet little has been my gratitude for that. And how many a trial have You tested me with; yet little has been my patience with that. O the One for Whose bounties my gratitude has been little, yet He did not deprive me. O the One against Whose trial I showed little patience, yet He did not abandon me. O the One Who saw me committing mistakes yet He did not disgrace me.

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
