LOVING ALLAH ABOVE EVERYTHING A point for self reflection

 ﷽

➖➖➖

*LOVING ALLAH ABOVE EVERYTHING*

➖➖➖

*A point for self reflection*

➖➖➖

Allah ﷻ says 


*وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْدَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ*


_And from amongst the people are those who take rivals with Allah and love them as they love Allah._


*وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ*


_But those who believe, love Allah more_

[2:165]

_

By Allah ﷻ ask yourselves this question,

The undivided love in your heart is for whom?

_

 Because these believers love Allah ﷻ, know His greatness, revere Him, believe in His Oneness, then they do not associate anything or anyone with Him in the worship. Rather, they worship Him Alone, depend on Him and they seek help from Him for each and every need.

_

*سبحان الله*


This Ayah is referring to the Mushrikeen, unlike many of us who are muslim.

_

But there is a stark and grave warning for us! 

_

Let us sit and reflect on ourselves for a moment! 

How many times did I forego my Salah while doing some work? 

How many times when I went out with friends? 

_

Do I continually choose my desire for this girl over my desire to please Allah ﷻ instead? 

Do I continually choose my desire to free-mix instead of seeking Allah ﷻ? 

_

How many times have I chosen Allah ﷻ and his pleasure over my own happiness and desire? 

_

Because if we keep choosing things over the command of Allah ﷻ, where the evidence to substantiate our claims that we love Allah ﷻ or Prophet ﷺ? 

_

Allah ﷻ didn't create us in order to say لا اله الا الله و محمد رسول الله and do nothing after that! 

What does Allah ﷻ say 


*وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ الجِنَّ وَ الإِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُون*


_And I did not create Jinn and mankind except to worship me._

[51:56]

_

Worship refers to action! Logically!

_

Because Allah ﷻ has stipulated certain acts of worship, and commanded us to abstain from sin on top of that! 

This is where the evidence or lack thereof will be,

In your Amal! 

Your decisions! 

_

How many times did you choose sleep over Qiyam Al Layl, 

How many times did you feel that you didn't need to do Tawbah?

_

While these are't fardh,

It is what brings us closer to Allah ﷻ

_

May Allah ﷻ keep us steadfast upon His Deen.

آمِيْن

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...
