What you Choose!

 *What you Choose!*

-------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There are students who are very very comfortable scoring 50%-60% in exams. There are also few students who will score 70%-80% in exams, but yet, remain unsatisfied because their target is to score at least 90%-95% (if they can not score 100 out of 100).

In actual sense,

The first category of students (50%-60% category) are not amongst the failures but they are actually not the best in the class where you have students scoring up to 90%-95%. And I'm very very sure that every wise students in any class will bargain to be ranked higher amongst his or her classmates.

Servants of Allah!

It should be noted that attaining high status in this world and the hereafter cannot be done by means of *wishful thinking and dreaming*; rather it can only be, by taking the measures that lead to that.. Otherwise there would be no difference between one who is honest and one who is a liar or a dreamer😃.

*Why all the grammar above?*

Abdullah ibn 
Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported, on the authority of his father, that the Prophet (pbuh) said, *“What an excellent man
Abdullah is! If only he could be performing [optional] prayers at night.”* Salim said that after this, (his father) `Abdullah used to sleep very little at night". 📚(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

This means that, even if you are okay with the obligatory swalat, give Sadaqah virtually everyday, establish voluntary nawafil during the day, etc....but you don't pray Tahajjud *"consistently"* or you miss few days every week without Tahajjud, then, you might not be amongst the failures in this world 🌎 but you are NOT amongst the excellent ones. Yes. This also explains why Allah (swt) love people of Tahajjud because it's an opportunity that is given to ONLY the PRIVILEGED amongst HIS slaves.

Besides,

The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.”* 📚(Muslim)

Therefore,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for midnight nawafil (at least 2 rakaats) everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately. Yes. Allah (swt) loves consistency in any act of worship. And waking up everyday for Tahajjud is not something difficult.. Let assume you wake up by 2AM, use 3minutes to perform ablution, 2minutes to get dressed, 5minutes to establish ONLY 2rakaat nawafil, 5minutes to make Du'a to Allah.. Total time spent = 15minutes. *Everything In 15minutes,* then, go back to catch up with sleep.

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 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...

The story of taqwa

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...
