THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat 5th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani (Friday 20th November. 2020). *_HOW WE CAN USE OUR GOOD DEEDS IN SUPPLICATING TO ALLAH FOR ALL OUR NEEDS_*. BismilLah.
Let's continue from the Reminder yesterday about the three men who were trapped in a cave and supplicated with their good deeds to seek ALLAH'S MERCY.
Then the second man supplicated: "O Lord, I had a cousin whom I loved her more passionately than anyone loves a woman. I tried to seduce her but she would have none of me, till in a season of great hardship due to famine, she approached me (for help) and I gave her one hundred and twenty Dinars on condition that she would have sexual intercourse with me. She agreed, and when we got together and I was just going to have intercourse with her, she pleaded: ‘Fear ALLAH, and do not break the seal unlawfully’; whereupon I moved away from her, despite the fact that I desired her most passionately; and I let her keep the money I had given her. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure, then do move the distress in which we find ourselves." Again the rock moved a little but not enough to let them pass out.
Then the third supplicated: "O Lord, I hired some laborers and paid them their dues, but one of them left leaving behind what was due to him. I invested it in business and the business prospered greatly. After a time the laborer came Back and said: ‘O servant of Allah, hand over to me my wages.’ I said to him: ‘All that you see is yours – camels, cattle, goats and slaves.’ He said: ‘Don’t play joke with me, O servant of Allah.’ I assured him: ‘I am mot joking.’ So he took all of it sparing nothing. O Lord, If I did this seeking only for your pleasure, do relieve us of our distress."
The rock then moved away, and all the three came out of the cave safe and sound. (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim ). ALLAHU AKBAR. The lessons from these Reminders are that we must strive to do good deeds only to please ALLAH then in our supplication we can mention that to ALLAH in secret whenever we need HIM most.
*_May ALLAH accept our dua with HIS Rahmah_*. Aameen.
