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.

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
