*THE PURPOSE OF LIFE*

*Three life lessons*
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says 

*وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ*

_And I did not create Man and Jinn except to worship me._
[51:56]
_
Allah ﷻ created the creatures so that they worship Him Alone without partners. Those who obey Him will be rewarded with the best rewards, while those who disobey Him will receive the worst punishment from Him. 

Allah ﷻ stated that He does not need creatures, but rather, they are in need of Him in all conditions. He is alone their Creator and Provider.
_
In a Hadith Qudsi, 
Prophet ﷺ said:
_“Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam, busy yourself with my worship and I will fill your heart with riches and alleviate your poverty. If you do not do so, I will fill your hands with problems and never alleviate your poverty.”_
[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2466, Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani]
_
Allah ﷻ also says 

*قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ*

_Say: "Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the all that exists_
[6:162]
_
This is your life's purpose! 
Don't fool yourself into thinking that you live in this Dunya for anything else.
_
There are three lessons that we need to learn:
1️⃣ _We *should not prioritise others over Allah ﷻ* as this detracts us from our purpose when we serve others over Allah ﷻ._

The haram lover you meet disobeying Allah ﷻ, while acknowledging He is watching.
How much greater is the Sin then? 
That we knowingly prioritise the Haram lover over Allah ﷻ? 
_
2️⃣ _We *should not put our desires over Allah ﷻ* in this same regard._
_
3️⃣ _Lastly, we should *fix our intentions with regards to our worship,* and not make the intention to please the people, rather only to please Allah ﷻ, and if the people are pleased and Allah ﷻ is displeased, then the action is like dust._
_
*سبحان الله* 
Wallahi!
There are some who go out in the morning to earn Rizq!
They do not pray Fajr Salah, they forgot that Allah ﷻ is *Al Raaziq!*
_
There are those who know the the Ayah forbidding Zina!
Yet they meet with their love and walk around happily.
They forgot that Allah ﷻ was *Al Baseer!*
_
There are those who do good deeds for the approval of people and Adoration of Women.
They forgot Allah ﷻ, And they think they are on Haqq in their actions!
_
May Allah ﷻ protect us from such a calamity and keep us steadfast upon the Deen.
*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*

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
