A Letter from a Soul.......



The Soul writes a letter to the man….

 
Dear Man,
 
Have you forgotten me? Yes you have. That is why you are destroying me. You often fail to notice that I’m a part of you. You neglect to feed me.

I want to tell you some truths, in fact some bitter truths. Though they might hurt you, I want to tell you this. I don’t want to hurt you, yet I want to save you.

As you grow stronger and stronger eating nutritious foods I turn weaker and weaker as I’m not fed with what I need. You really spend much time to maintain your physical beauty, but you never notice me and I’m turning dirty and ugly.

Can you remember the days you cried alone thinking that everyone you loved had left you? You blamed the creator for taking the things you loved from you. But you failed to notice that still you are having me and he has kept me with you. Worldly things had kept you busy and you don’t have time to care for me.

But think for a moment, what would happen to you if I suddenly leave you. Who could stop me when I was ordered by my creator? Your good and riches? Your loved ones? Your power or what? No! none can stop me. Everyone , everything you loved here will leave you. What is more, your name, the name you wanted the history to remember will leave you too.

Dear man, please listen, I don’t want you to suffer when I leave you. I don’t want the angels to torture you when they take me from you. I don’t want them to call me disgusting. I don’t want you to suffer in the hell as I’m impure.

So please, at least spend a little time to grow me stronger. Clean me often with Thawba.
Renew me often by refreshing your Imaan. Please don’t let your Nafs to destroy me. Please take care of me, so that we could meet our creator free of fears In sha Allah. And we shall enter Jannah In sha Allah.

-Now just spend a minute to think about this-

With love,
-The Weak Soul-.

The Seven People Under the Shade of Allah (SWT)

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,
"Allah will give shade to seven,
on the Day when there will be no shade but His. 

1. A just ruler.

2. A youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah.
 (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood)

3. A man whose heart is attached to the masjid.
  (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the masjid in congregation)

4. Two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only. 

5. A man who refuses the call of acharming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: 'I am afraid of Allah'.

6. A man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given. 
(i.e. nobody knowshow much he has given in charity)

7. A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.

ALLAH’S RESPONSE TO THE BELIEVERS!...
                                                        بِسْÙ…ِ اللَّÙ‡ِ الرَّØ­ْÙ…َٰÙ†ِ الرَّØ­ِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. [Quran 1:1] 

When ALLAH’S sincere servant says:
All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the universe!   [Quran 1:2] 
Allah the Most High says:
 My servant has Praised Me!
When ALLAH’S sincere servant says:
The most Merciful, the most Beneficent!   [Quran 1:3] 
He (Allah the Most High) says: 
 My servant has lauded Me!
When ALLAH’S sincere servant says:
Master of the Day of Judgment!    [Quran 1:4] 
He (Allah the most high) says:
 My servant has glorified Me! [My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me!]
When ALLAH’S sincere servant says:
You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help!    [Quran 1:5]
He (Allah the most high) says:
 This is Between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for!
When ALLAH’S sincere servant says:
Guide us to the Straight Path! The path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your blessings! Not the path of those who earned Your wrath, or erred and went astray.    [Quran 1:6-7]
He (Allah the most high) says: 
This is for My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for!


[Muslim, Book #004, Hadith #0775]  “Abu Huraira reported: The Apostle of Allah (may peace Be upon him) said: If anyone observes prayer in which he does not recite Umm al-Qur'an, It is deficient [he said this three times] and not complete. It was said to Abu Huraira: At times we are Behind the Imam. He said: Recite it inwardly, for he had heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace Be upon him) declare that Allah the Exalted had said: I have divided the prayer into two halves Between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks. When the servant says: Praise Be to Allah, the Lord of the universe, Allah the Most High says: My servant has Praised Me. And when he (the servant) says: The Most Compassionate, the Merciful, Allah the Most High says: My servant has lauded Me. And when he (the servant) says: Master of the Day of judgment, He remarks: My servant has glorified Me. and sometimes He would say: My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me. And when he (the worshiper) says: Thee do we worship and of Thee do we ask help, He (Allah) says: This is Between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. Then, when he (the worshiper) says: Guide us to the straight path, the path of those to whom Thou hast Been Gracious not of those who have incurred Thy displeasure, nor of those who have gone astray, He (Allah) says: This is for My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. Sufyan said: 'Ala b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ya'qub narrated it to me when I went to him and he was confined to his home on account of illness, and I asked him about it.”

VIRTUES OF 'SUBAHANALLAHI WABIHAMDIHI'

Is Facebook Really Haram?

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “On the Day of Resurrection the feet of the son of Adam will not move away till he is questioned about five matters: on what he spent his life, in doing what he made his youth pass away; whence he acquired his property, on what he spent it, and what he did regarding what he knew.”[al-Tirmidhee 2416 and classified as Saheeh by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah 946]
Be careful of your duty toward your creator!

BENEFITS OF RECITING BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM!


Sayyidina Jabir (RA) is Reported To Have Said That When
 
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
 
Revealed, The Clouds Gave Way By Moving To The East,
The Winds Ceased Blowing,
The Oceans Became Calm,
The Creatures Prepared Themselves To Listen,
The Shaytaan Got Pelted With Fire From The Heavens And Allah Ta'ala,
Swearing An Oath By His Honour,
 Declared : Anyone Who Says This Name Of Mine
(ie. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem)
Upon Anything,
I Will Surely impart Barakah in That Thing
 
When  Bismillah  Was  Revealed
 
 
Bismillah  Before  Wahee
 
Whenever Jibreel (AS) Used  To  Bring Wahee To Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-Alayhe-Wasallam),
 He Used To First  Recite
 
Bismillaahir  Rahmanir  Raheem!
 
The Reason For The Above is As Follows :
 in Bismillah There Are
 
Three Names Of Allah :
  (1)Allah
Which is His Personal Name indicating That All Projects Can Only Be
initiated By The Will And Wish Of Allah.
  (2)Rahman
( kind )
Which is His Attributive Name indicating
That Only Allah
Can Keep That Project intact And Existent
(guarding it against destruction).
(3)Raheem 
( Most merciful )
  Which is Also His Attributive Name indicating
That Only Allah Can,
Through His Mercy And Grace,
 Enable Any Person
To Derive Benefit From That Project.
 
This Clearly Proves That Any Project Begun With Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
 Will Be Granted Barakah And Blessings From The Beginning Till The End.

Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) Reported: 
Messenger of Allah[SAWW](PBUH) Said,
 " When A Muslim Plants A Tree, 
Whatever is Eaten From it is Charity For Him 
And Whatever is Stolen is Charity 
And Whatever is Subtracted From it is Charity". 
[Muslim Book 010, Chapter 23, Hadith # 3764]. 

Another Narration Says :
 " If a Muslim plants a tree, or sows a field and men and beasts and birds eat from it, all of it is charity for him".
[Muslim Book 010, Chapter 23, Hadith # 3766].
" This Hadith highlights the importance of gardening and agriculture. It is also one of the merits of these two occupations that if someone patiently bears the loss that he suffers due to pilferage or theft of their produce, he is rewarded for it.

Good And Evil, And The Will Of Allah !!

In Reality, Almighty Allah is The One Who Grants All Good.
He is The One Who Endows Comfort And Solace.
  He is The One Who Grants Success To One And All.
He Grants Comfort And He Showers Mercy.
  Along With All This,
The Lord Almighty Also Tests His Slaves.
  Sometimes He Tests Them With His Bounties And Sometimes He Tests Them Through Trials And Difficulties To See Which Slave Of His Turns To Him in Times Of Plenty And Quietude And Who Distances Oneself From Him. 
Almighty Allah Makes it Clear Whether The Slave Turns To Him With Thankfulness Or Turns Away From His Door,
Whether The Slave is Patient On The Trials And Tribulations Or Despairs And Swerves From His Path,
Whether The Slave Stays On The illumined Paths Of The Holy Quran And The Sunnah Or Loses Himself / Herself in The Darkness Of Disobedience And Noncompliance.

Almighty Allah Says in The Holy Quran:
And When We Bestow Upon Man (some) Blessing,


He Turns Away (from gratitude) And Escapes,

But When Some Distress Comes Upon Him,

He Despairs

 (i.e., He is Neither Grateful Nor Patient).Say: ?

Everyone Acts According To His Own (respective) Style And Nature,

And Your Lord Knows Full Well Who is Best Guided To The Straight Path.
Surah Bani Israil (17:83, 84)
It is The Belief Of Every Muslim That Good And Evil Are Both From Allah And That Bounties Are Granted From His Door.
Trials And Tribulations Are Also By His Design.
  Spring And Bloom Are Also From Him And Storms And Droughts Are Also From Him,
Protection Of Life And Wealth is Also From Him And Danger To Them is Also From Him. 
Thus, He Tests His Slaves in Every Manner.  When We Believe in Almighty Allah And The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam),
We Will Surely Be Tested,
As Almighty Allah Says in The Holy Quran:

Alif, Lam, Mim.

(Only Allah and the Messenger 
[blessings and peace be upon him] 
know The Real Meaning.) 

 Do People Think That They Will Be Released (just) On Saying: ?


We Have Believed,? 


And They Will Not Be Tried ? 

 

 Surah Ankabut (29:1, 2)

                               
  Difficulties Are A Result On One’s Own Deeds.
  Holding Others Responsible For Them is Not The Practice Of Muslims.
It is in Fact The Practice Of Those Who Deny Allah,
As Mentioned in This Verse Of The Holy Quran:


And Whatever Misfortune Befalls You (comes upon you) As A Result Of That (evil work) Which Your Own Hands Have Done Whilst He Forgives Most Of Your (misdoings). 

Surah Shoora (42:30)


Our Lord !
Accept From Us; Surely U Are The Hearing, The Knowing.
My Lord!
Grant Me That I Should Be Grateful For Thy Favor Which Thou hast Bestowed On Me And On My Parents, And That I Should Do Good Such As Thou Art Pleased With, And Make Me Enter, By Thy Mercy, Into
Thy Servants, The Good Ones!
