Eid Mubarak!

Wish you all a blessed Eid !

The night of Eid

Let us not forget the great virtue of spending the night before Eid in worship! Hadhrat Aisha (Radhiallahu Anha) reports that Rasullullah (salallahu alaihi wasalam) said, “Whoever stays awake and performs ibaadah on the two nights proceeding the two Eids, with hope for abundant reward from Allah, his heart will not die on the day when all hearts will be dead” (i.e. the day of Qiyamah) (Ibn Majah).

Subhan’Allah! Such a great virtue yet so few manage to carry it out. Let us be from amongst the blessed few. Surely, if we just made an intention to make a bit of extra worship on this night Allah will be most appreciative of our efforts and exertions. Remember the more good deeds we perform the better it will be for us all in the hereafter, when every good deed will appear weighty in the scale of deeds!

Thorn......A Bounty in Disguise

Why should I grieve because of a thorn?
    Once it made laughter known to me.
   Whatever you lost through the stroke of destiny,
   know it was to save you from adversity.
   One small affliction off greater afflictions;
   one small loss prevents greater loses.

 Hazrat Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihy)

Ways to Allah

Hazat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar sahab (Damat Barakatuhm) says...a pious saint used to pray to Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala to make him such that he doesn't commit any sin at all... after some time, he got a reply from Allah Subhana w a ta'ala "why do you want to have only one door to reach Me when I am giving you two!!"...the one door was the door of not committing sin...the other door was that of repenting after committing a sin, with a resolution never to repeat..
