Motivational Story

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
🥦It was raining heavily🌧️  when I heard a knock at my door, I opened. standing before me was  a young man with a bushy hair,  dirty shoe, well soaked by the rain, looking too unkept for my liking.
Good morning, he greeted with humility , how may I help you? I replied in a displeasing manner.

 Please sir  kindly help me with your umbrella ☂️if you have any, my journey is still very far from here, I promise to return it tomorrow morning. I looked at him for a while, suddenly some thoughts came into my mind. Why would someone who's already soak be asking for an umbrella, what if he doesn't return it? I don't trust you, but I will give you, I said. But make sure you return it tomorrow as you have promised.

I went in and got an old umbrella that  i stopped using for months and gave to him. Thank you very much, he happily expressed and left. Next morning, a knock at my door, I came out and saw two handsome men dressed in a royal apparel. Good morning sirs, I humbly bowed in greetings, Good morning, they replied, here is a present for you from  our prince, son of the Emperor. I don't know any prince, i muttered. They brought out a well pakaged  golden Box on the top of it they wrote, "thanks for yesterday"  I said to them, sorry I can't remember meeting or helping any prince yesterday, one of them brought out another present here is also yours from the prince, I excitedly unwrap the gift in their presence behold it was exactly my old dirty umbrella that I gave to the poor young man yesterday. I screamed in tears, I didn't give him my best, I had the best umbrella, but i gave him the worst and ugly (I wept bitterly) the voice echoed so loud, IT IS TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE.

 When I lifted up my face both men had disappeared. I asked my self, how has my services to God and humanity been? Ask yourself too.... Are you giving Him your best? or your Worst? Let this story be your mirror every day, look into  your life again and again and Answer the above Question. As for me, I am Still asking God for Mercy👌

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
