THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 9th day of Rabeeul Awwal (Monday 26th October. 2020). *_WHO TO PLEASE IN LIFE_*. BismilLah.
In an authentic hadith, Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He who displeases ALLAH for seeking the pleasure of people, ALLAH is displeased with him and those people will also be displeased, And he who pleases ALLAH, although by it he displeases people, ALLAH will be pleased with him, and also those people whom he had displeased will be pleased for pleasing ALLAH.
This is a wonderful hadith which simplifies life immensely for us. It is impossible to please everybody all the time. In fact, it is even impossible to please one person all the time. ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) tells us that instead of constantly catering to one person or another, we should direct all our efforts to pleasing HIM, and HE will take care of all the rest. Many a times we shy away from obeying ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala), fearing repercussions at the workplace or in our relationships. This hadith warns us against disobeying ALLAH for the sake of HIS creatures. In the long run, none of those people will be pleased with us for whom we disobeyed ALLAH (subhana wa ta'ala).
*_May ALLAH forgive our shortcomings and protect us from such ignorance_*. Aameen.
