That Only I Could Do.....

Sometimes just a simple expression made my someone inspires and touches so much that it really makes you think about. This is the expression made by a lady I met at a Religious Gathering(Taleem). She narrated one of her incident when she was blessed to visit Allah Ta'ala House Kaba Shareef. Her husband ask her to lets go and roam about in vicinity, just to hang out but she made a wonderful reply that " that ONLY what she could do with her legs" means she can only visit Allah's House ,worship Him. Despite being healthy and have wordly richess she refused to be in the fleeting enjoyment of this world. This statement of her really made me to relflect that all what we have been given is the Aamanat of Allah Ta'ala and we should use this Aamanat only in Allah's cause be it wealth, health, our limbs. We should not just betray the trust of Allah Ta'ala using these naimats in futile activities or in sinful activities that won't help us in Aakhirah when we will be questioned about how we spend our life.

May Allah Ta'ala give us the taufeeq to use our time ,wealth and health wisely and save us from disobeying Him Ameen!

Brighten Your Heart.....

Luqman al-Hakim made his will and counselled his son and told him:

"My son! Sit with the learned men and keep close to them. Allah gives life to the hearts with the light of wisdom as Allah gives life to the dead earth with the abundant rain of the sky."

(Muwatta Malik Book 59, Hadith 1859)

Empty Your Heart !!

O Allah empty my heart of the love of the worldly life and fill it with the love of the hereafter  

Beware!! It's still Wrong

 The illustrious Sahaabi, ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was once invited to a waleemah function. When he was about to enter, he heard some impermissible activity taking place, hence he returned immediately. When he was questioned about the reason for his return, he explained: “I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying: ‘Whosoever adds to the numbers of a people, will be counted from among them, and the one who is pleased with the wrong of a people, will be a partner in their actions.’” (Ithaaful Khairatil Maharah vol. 4, pg. 135)      

It is indeed extremely sad to notice many Muslims joining the disbelievers in their activities and festivities. There are those who remain as spectators and others actively participate. This hadeeth sounds a very severe warning for the passive participants, let alone those who actively join in the wrong.

Are You Protected??

Once, a girl bought an iPad. When her father saw it he asked,
"What was the first thing you did when you bought it?"
"I put an anti-scratch sticker on the screen and bought a cover for the iPad," she replied.
"Did someone force you to?"
"No."
"Don't you think it's an insult to the manufacturer??"
"No dad, in fact they even recommend using a cover for the iPad."
"Did you cover it because it was cheap and ugly?"
"Actually, I covered it because I didn't want it to get damaged and decrease in value."
"When you put the cover on didn't it reduce the iPad's beauty?"
"I think it looks better, and its worth it for the protection it gives my iPad."
The father looked lovingly at his daughter and said ...
"Hijab..."
Nothing else..
