Mash'Allah Jazak'Allah.Subhan'Allah most of these I don't even do myself

.May Allah guide us all ameen

F.Y. · **Re: Did You?? -** 09-12-2005

Lovely, I hope we can all implement these in our life, ameen. It also kind of reminds me of the nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby.

What Did I Do Today?

Oh the moon has come
The day is done
The night has covered up the sun.
I have stood so often before you to pray
But I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I remember the words of Al-Fatiha?
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?
Did I call on you to guide my way?
Tell me, what did I do today?

I has whispered to you
As I made ruku
Subhana Rabiy'yal adheem.
But was my faith
Bright or grey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I smile at my brother?
Was I kind to my mother?
Did I teach another something that I know
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me, what did I do today?

Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabanna lakal hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabanna lakal hamd.
La illaha il Allah.
La illaha il Allah.

Though I've bowed to you
with my face in the dust,
subhana raby'yal a'la
Did I turn to you
And did I obey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I use my mind?
Did I use my time?
If I search my heart what will I find?
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,
Tell me, what did I do toady?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?

I got it from another site, but i don't think that it has a reference to it - but its just a reminder for the believer.

But most of the actions did probably come from authentic ahadith insha'Allaah, because none of them actions contradict any ahadith insha'Allaah - but rather they encourage them acts, and Allaah Almighty knows best.

Maryam22 · **Re: Did You?? -** 07-04-2006

as for this one:
Have you prayed this du'a today? "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika 'an ushrika bika wa ana a'lam, wa astaghfiruka lima la a'lam" [O Allah, I seek refuge with you from knowingly associating anything with You, and ask Your forgiveness if I have unwittingly done so]

For whoever says this, Allaah (SWT) will remove from him both major and minor forms of Shirk.

...And he said: “Shirk among you is more subtle than the sound of the footsteps of an ant on a rock. Shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, it will take that away from you, both minor and major forms of it. Say: Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a’lam wastaghfiruka lima laa a’lam (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for that of which I am unaware).”
