Reminder of Today

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.” (Bukhari Vol. 2, Book 26, Hadith 590)

The 10 blessed days of Dhul Hijjah are very near. Start planning your good deeds now.

The Prophet Muhammad is to be loved and honoured. Not only loved and not only honoured. - Imām al Bayhaqī

Hadhrat `Abdullaah ibn `Umar رضي الله عنه used to say that if you get up in the morning, don't expect to live until the evening. If you live until the evening, don't expect to live until the next morning.

The Hukamaa (Wise Men) used to advise that you should live everyday in this Dunyaa as though it were your last. Think of it as being your last day on earth, and see how you will start to do things differently. If you knew that you would die tonight, how would you live this day?

They used to advise that when you breathe in, don't expect to live long enough to breathe out. If you breathe out, don't expect to live long enough to breathe in.

Any day can be the last day in your life.

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."

(Quran: Surah Ghafir - Verse 60)

O Muslims... What are we focused on?

A word of advice:

Your family's right upon you is greater than all other 7 billion members of the worlds population combined. The admiration of a million people pales in comparison to the smile you put on the face a parent, spouse, or child. They will carry your name and legacy in this world, and testify for or against you on the day of judgment. If you want them to remember you tomorrow, you have to be there for them today. So change the world and do your best to care for everyone, but don't let your positive influence exclude the people who need you most.

Soon enough a guy with a bulging eye and ك ف ر stamped across his forehead will waltz around wreaking havoc, and Western Muslims will probably take to Facebook with comments like:

1) "Don't judge him by the ك ف ر on his head, you don't know what's in his heart"

2) "They're only letters and times have changed"

3) "Islam is manners so treat him with kindness and advise him"

4) "Who are you to criticize his decision to wreak havoc?! I disagree with him but his life, his choice"

5) *Writes ك ف ر on forehead with a Sharpie, takes selfie and uploads with caption#unity*

6) "People are dying in Palestine and all you care about is some guy with a few letters on his head?! Disgraceful!!"

7) "We must learn to embrace these 3 letters within the frameworks of Islam in modern times if we're to progress. To focus on letters on a forehead is irrational and it distracts us from tackling the real issues affecting Muslims worldwide"

8) "Yeh yeh he has ك ف ر on his head and I get that, but what's your opinion on the Saudi regime?"

9. You're a colonized Muslim. At least he doesn't blindly follow a sheikh.

10) "Yes, I disagree with his actions. But this shaming, maiming, attacking and verbal assault of a brother, our brother on Earth, for merely being the flagbearer of 3 letters, a burden he felt forced to bear, this is unacceptable. We must look deep within ourselves, overlook the letters furnishing him, forgive him and not forget the work he has done for mankind - from raising awareness about global famine to the exposé of the Rafidhi following him. For this, he must be applauded and we must pray to Allah he be forgiven for his errors, rather than rebuking him for his actions"

We ask Allah SWT to allow us to realize the condition we are in and protect us from the fitnah of Dajjal!!
Ameen!

Imagine that you are standing on the day of Judgment being held accountable for your deeds, and you're not guaranteed your entry to Jannah.

*Suddenly you find that you have mountains of Hasanat (rewards) in your record*

Do you know from where these mountains of rewards come from?

Because in the Dunya you kept saying : *”SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah al ‘Adhim”*

_Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:_ *"Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, they are loved by Al Rahman, (The Most Merciful. One):*
سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ الْعَظِيمِ - *SubhanAllahi wa biHamdihi, Subhan-Allahi 'l-`adheem (Glory be to Allah, and Praise, Glory be to Allah, the Supreme)"*
(Bukhari , Muslim)

Can you imagine how much your reward will be multiplied if you share this information about the virtue of this remembrance with your friends and they keep saying it *(SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi SubhanAllah Al Adheem)* because you guided them to do good?

*Be the One Who Guides Others to Good Deeds.*

Facing hardships? Life treating you extra rough?

Once, Aisha was with the Prophet and he was sick with a high fever, in great pain. Aisha remarked at how painful and difficult this was, even for her to watch. The Prophet remarked,

"O Aisha! Do you not know that Allah makes matters difficult for the believer so that all of his sins may be forgiven?" [Ibn Sa'd; authentic]

Realize that as tough as life gets, if you are patient and expect relief and reward, both of those will inevitably be given to you. Always remember the purpose of such tests: to raise our ranks and forgive our sins. And know that the trials of this world are infinitely easier than the trials of the next, and the joys of the next world are infinitely better than the joys of this world.

- Maulana Khalid Dhorat

Become humble and flexible when you are invited to perform a good deed, and become rigid and defiant when you are invited to commit a sin.

It's never too late to turn to Allah
Allah will never say "Only now you turn to me."
Allah becomes happy with the repentance of His servant.
