FRIDAY SERIES *

 *FRIDAY SERIES *๐ŸŒธ

by Asma bint Shameem


๐ŸŒฟ *Yet another Friday* ๐ŸŒฟ


So….

It’s another Friday.

We will perform ghusl.

We will attend the Jumu’ah prayer.

We will read Surah al-Kahf.

Then, before we know it, it will be another Friday.


Time is flying.


It seems like yesterday but a whole week has passed since last Friday.


Similar is our life.

Hours turn into days.

Days turn into weeks.

Weeks turn into months.

And months turn into years.


*BLINK*...

*Before we know it, our time is up.*


Yes that’s right. Just like that. In a flash of a second. 


๐Ÿƒal-Hasan al-Basree said:


“Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days. With each passing day a part of you has also gone.”


๐ŸƒAnd he also said:


"The world is but three days:

As for yesterday, it has vanished along with all that was in it.

As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so *work* on it."


๐Ÿ“Œ*Ask yourself this:*


๐Ÿ”บ*How did I spend my time from last Friday to today?*


๐Ÿ”บ*Have I improved my relationship with Allaah since last Friday?*


๐Ÿ”บ*Did I do anything to benefit my Ummah?*


๐Ÿ”บ*What have I done for my Aakhirah?*


๐Ÿ”บ*What can I do to make it better?*


And Allaah knows best.

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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 ูŠَุงุٓฃَูŠُّู‡َุง ูฑู„َّุฐِูŠู†َ ุกَุงู…َู†ُูˆุٓงْ ุฅِุฐَุง ู†ُูˆุฏِูŠَ ู„ِู„ุตَّู„َูˆٰุฉِ ู…ِู† ูŠَูˆูۡ…ِ ูฑู„ุۡฌُู…ُุนَุฉِ ูَูฑุณุۡนَูˆุۡงْ ุฅِู„َู‰ٰ ุฐِูƒุۡฑِ ูฑู„ู„َّู‡ِ ูˆَุฐَุฑُูˆุงْ ูฑู„ุۡจَูŠุۡนَۚ ุฐَٰู„ِูƒُู…ۡ ุฎَูŠุۡฑࣱ ู„َّูƒُู…ۡ ุฅِู† ูƒُู†ุชُู…ۡ ุชَุนูۡ„َู…ُูˆู†َ O you who have believed, when [the adhฤn] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuสฟah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allฤh 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 (๏ทบ) 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...

The story of taqwa

 The story of taqwa. Taqwa means fear of Allah. There once lived a young woman who was very beautiful lady and had all the qualities a man needed. She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go. All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
