THE BEST PROVISION FOR THE HEREAFTER At-Taqwa (التقوى)

*THE BEST PROVISION FOR THE HEREAFTER*

*At-Taqwa (التقوى)*

*Translation of video:*

Ali Ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه  stood over the grave 

Then he said: _"Oh People of the Grave, Surely your residency has been replaced,_

_And your wealth has been distributed,_

_And your women have married off,_

_Speak to us regarding yourselves oh people of the graves,_

_Inform us Oh people of the graves,_

_The grave doesn't speak oh brothers!_

_Then he turned to the Sahaba and said "By Allah, if these graves spoke, they would say_


*وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ*


_And take provisions, but surely the best provision is At-Taqwa,_

[2:197]

Ibn Kathir رحمه الله writes in his Tafseer about this Ayah, _"When Allah required mankind to supply themselves with what sustains them for the journeys of this life, He directed them to the necessary provisions for the Hereafter: *Taqwa*"_

_

We should all heed this Advice! 

We should take provision for ourselves in this world, and sustain ourselves in order to fulfil the sole purpose of your creation!

*Obedience to Allah ﷻ!*

_

Don't take the provision of this world in excess! 

For the best provision is Taqwa in order to gain the best Akhirah! 

_

Allah ﷻ says


*وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ۚ*


_And the clothing of Taqwa is better._

[7:26]

The wearing of Taqwa is better than the adorning of fine clothes! 

_

Again, the message is repeated! 

Taqwa is better for you! 

Why? 

It prepares you for the hereafter! 

And what is Taqwa? 

Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said _"The ones who have taqwa protect themselves from what Allah has prohibited and act upon what He has commanded. Taqwa remains with them until they forsake many halal things fearing that they could be haram"_

_

And what is the reward?

*وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ* 


_Jannah as wide as the heavens and the Earth, prepared for the Muttaqeen._ (Those who have Taqwa) 

[3:133]

_

If you prepare then the Akhirah is made easy for you, from the moment you die! 

And the opposite is true for he who didn't prepare!


May Allah ﷻ grant us Taqwa and gather us in His Jannatul Firdaus.

*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*

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 ...

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...

She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go. All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
