Story to reflect

 Story to reflect 

Never worry about dunya and make our connection with Allah right.


Alhamdulillah, there once lived three friends who were working in the same company.

The friends were Yusuf, samir and salim.

These friends always use to fear and were righteousness always. But one of their trial was that, they were poor.


So they decided to travel to another city to seek for wealth.

On their way, Yusuf and salim had a wealthy and good company but the manager said I don't want you to pray. Stop the prayer and I will pay you huge sum of money.


Samir heard of this and said he will rather die in poverty than to stop praying and follow this dunya.


He adviced his friends not to accept the offer but said we will work but will go home and pray.

Samir was sad and he went back to his city to work in that company.


So the friends had wealth and were enjoying with life.

Samir was in the city managing like that.


Two years later, the two friends had an offer from a big and wealthy company. The company is respected in the city and so they went to meet the manager for the offer 

As they entered the office, it was their old friend samir near the door.

They smiled and said you are still a gateman or security?


To their surprise, they heard a security entering calling samir, the boss.

They were amazed to this and samir smiled to them saying this is what Allah has did for me.

I was patient and stood to please him and I had all this now.

They were surprised and amazed and wish they followed his advice 


A lesson for us, when we want this dunya easy and to be happy, let's build our relationship with the owner of this dunya, Allah and he will give us what is best at the right time.


May Allah grants us heart of patience and taqwa. Aamin

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
