Allah ﷻ says in Surah Al-Qamar


*إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ*


_Verily, those who have Taqwa, will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers._


The people of Jannah will be dignified and raised to sit on thrones in Jannah.


*فِي مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٖ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ*


_at the Seat of Honour in the presence of the Most Powerful Sovereign._

[54:54-55]

Meaning with the Magnificent King Who created everything and measured its destiny; He is able to grant them whatever they wish and ask for.

_

Allah ﷻ says in the Qu'ran:


 *وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنتُم بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنُونَ*


_and have Taqwa of Allah in Whom you believe._

[5:88]

_

And in another Surah:


 *وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَٱلْأَرْحَامَ ۚ* 


_And have Taqwa of Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights) and revere the wombs_

[4:1]

Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه says _"Fear Allah and be friendly to the those you have ties of the womb with"_

_

Allah ﷻ mentions Taqwa.

Why? 

Taqwa is what makes the difference between Jannah and Jahannam, and the ranks of Jannah! 

More Taqwa means Higher Rank in Jannah! 

_

A man asked Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه "What is Taqwa?"

He رضي الله عنه replied "Have you ever taken a path filled with thorns?” The man replied, “I have.” Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه asked him, “What did you do?” He replied, “When I saw a thorn I would dodge it or pass over it or behind it.” Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه then said, *"That is al-Taqwa.”*

_

So we really have to ask ourselves,

This path that we are walking is filled with many thorns, that sting more than ever! 

*Yet are we making an effort to avoid them?*

_

For having Taqwa, leads to Ihsaan in Ibadah,

As Prophet ﷺ said _"To worship Allah as if you see him, though you don't but you know He sees you"_

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 8]


Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

_“Verily, the most beloved statement to Allah is for a servant to say, ‘Glory be to you, O Lord, and your praise. Blessed is your name, exalted is your majesty, and there is no god besides you.’ The most hateful statement to Allah is for a man to say to another man, ‘Fear Allah!’ and he says, ‘Mind yourself!’”_

[Al-Sunan al-Kubrá lil-Nasā’ī 10205, Grade: Sahih according to Al-Albani]

_

Once we gain Taqwa and Ihsaan! Our Worship becomes sweeter and with better Khushoo' and the greater the reward in Jannah!

_

May Allah ﷻ Grant us this level of excellence.

*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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

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...
