(A TREASURE CHEST OF REMINDERS)

Episode 28

*ACCEPT THE BLESSING AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT*

"... Invoke Me, I will respond to your (invocation)..." [Qur'an 40:60].

Make the most of the blessings of Allah, give thanks to Him and obey Him. Enjoy the water that you drink and use for Wudhū'. Enjoy the warmth and light of the sun, and the light and beauty of the moon. Pick fruit from the trees, drink your fill from the rivers, look at the ocean, walk through the fields, and give thanks to ALLAH, the Almighty, Oft-forgiving, the Sovereign and subduer. Make use of these blessings that ALLAH has bestowed upon you, and beware of denying these blessings.

Surah An-Nahl, Verse 83:

يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

They recognise the Grace of Allah, yet they deny it (by worshipping others besides Allah) and most of them are disbelievers (deny the Prophethood of Muhammad SAW).

Before you look at the thorn of the rose, look at its beauty. Before you complain about the heat of the sun, enjoy its light. Before you complain about the blackness of the night, think of its peace and quiet. Why look at things in such a pessimistic and negative manner? Why deny and change blessings?

Surah Ibrahim, Verse 28:

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ كُفْرًا وَأَحَلُّوا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ

Have you not seen those who have changed the Blessings of Allah into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Message of Islam), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction?

Take these blessings and accept them graciously, and praise ALLAH, the Almighty, All-Gracious, for them.

"Changing from bad to good is a long-term adventure, but it is wonderful."
