*Being Grateful For The Blessings*

➖➖➖

When Allah ﷻ has commanded us with His obedience, while He is free from needing us.

Listen to what Allah ﷻ says


*وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ*

 

_And for Allah is all that is in the heavens and the earth._


*وَلَقَدْ وَصَّيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ*


_We have recommended to the People of the Scripture before you, and to you_


*أَنِ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ*


_That you fear Allah_


*وَإِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ*


_And if you disbelieve, then surely for Allah is what is in the heavens and the earth._


*وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَنِيًّا حَمِيدًۭا*


_And Allah is ever rich and worthy of all praise._

[4:131]


Allah ﷻ is free from need of us.

Allah ﷻ says [in a Hadith Qudsi]

_"O My slaves! Were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of anyone of you, that would not decrease My kingdom anything."_

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2577]


And this is the proof of Allah's independence of us 

And Allah ﷻ says in the same Hadith Qudsi _"O My slaves! Were the first of you and the last of you, the human being of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of anyone of you, that would not increase My kingdom anything."_

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2577]

 *سبحان الله*


We in our misguidance we feel we are free of need of Allah ﷻ! 

But this is far from the truth!

We are totally in dependence of Allah ﷻ! 

And if you were to try to count His blessings, you wouldn't be able to! 

Yet we feel that we are free of the need to worship Allah ﷻ...

As Allah ﷻ says 


*كَلَّا إِنَّ الإِنسَانَ لَيَطغٰى*


_Nay! Surely man sees himself self-sufficient._

[96:6]

_

We need to break this cycle of arrogance! 

And really come to terms and the realisation.

_

Allah ﷻ says 

*وَ خُلِقَ الإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا*


_And Mankind was created weak._

[4:28]

_

Provided for us is our oxygen, is our food, is our water, our spouses, ALL of our blessings!

_

Once we realise this! 

We will become grateful, grateful for ALL of our blessings

_

Because Allah ﷻ already provides for all of us!

_

Doesn't it then make sense, that our slave hood, compels us towards His obedience?!

*Reflect..*

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

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 p
