*How to Achieve It*

➖➖➖

Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:


*فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ*


_Whoever follows my guidance will neither go astray nor be distressed._

[20:123]

_Allah has guaranteed for the one who recites the Qur'an and acts upon what is in it, that he will not go astray in the Dunya, nor will he suffer in the Akhirah!_

_

When Allah ﷻ revealed the Qur'an upon Prophet ﷺ, and the Qur'aysh heard the news, they said _"The Qur'an has not been revealed except as a difficulty"_

_So Allah ﷻ revealed_


*طه*


_Ta-Ha_


*مَا أَنزَلنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقٰى*


_We have not sent upon you the Qur'an, so that you are distressed._

[20:1-2]

How true! 

We all are searching for Happiness in our lives. 

The businessmen, they are searching for happiness! 

The celebrities, they too search for happiness! 

The drinkers, the drug users, the fornicators, the rich, the poor, the old and the young! 

All of them search for happiness! 

Some of them find their illusion of happiness in money, women, possessions, drink and substance, friends, whatever else!

_

Following the Quran and Sunnah is the path of happiness and contentment! 

_

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

▪️In the heart are disorders that cannot be remedied except by responding to Allah. 

▪️In it is a desolate feeling that cannot be removed except by intimacy with Him solitude. 

▪️In it is sadness which will not leave except by happiness with knowing Him and truthfulness in his dealings. 

▪️In it is anxiety that is not made tranquil except by gathering for His sake and fleeing to Him from His punishment. 

▪️In it is a fire of regret which cannot be extinguished except by satisfaction with His commands, prohibitions, and decrees, and embracing patience with that until the time he meets Him. 

▪️In it is a strong desire that will not cease until He is the only one who is sought. 

▪️In it is a void that cannot be filled except by His love, turning to Him, always remembering Him, and being sincere to Him. 

▪️Were a person to be given the entire world and everything in it, that would never fill the void.”

[Madārij al-Sālikīn 3/156]

سبحان الله

What profound words!

The person who follows Allah ﷻ and Prophet ﷺ won't suffer on Qiyamah!

While majority of creation stand under a sun which is close, on a flat plain squashed together, for 50,000 years.

Those who follows the guidance of Allah ﷻ will be in shade, on couches, and it will feel like a morning or afternoon! 

_

Happiness and contentment lies in the Qur'an!

*So hold onto it!*

_

May Allah ﷻ grant us True Happiness and Contentment in both the worlds.

*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...
