Back into the frontline
Two steps forward, one step back
This is the reality of a believer
There will be always Ups and Downs
Two Ups, one Down
This is the reality of a believer
Ups make him reach the sky
Subhanal Allah
Downs make him realise his reality, he is nothing but "thuraab"/dust
Ups make him realise that He has been created in the best of the forms by the Best of the Creators, Allah SWT
The balance of the believer has to be heavy on the Ups, beidhnil Allah
Downs are only to bring him back in the frontline with the Will and Help of Allah, Al Qader, Al Musta'an
Do rejoice with the Ups, but do not let the Ups take you to clouds; if you do so, the fall is going to be painful
Do learn with the Downs, but do not let the Downs break you; if you do so, shaytan, your enemy will rejoice and you will cry
You are "thuraab"...and your most honourable position is in sujood/prostration
Hence walk on this earth as a humble slave of Ar Rahman and aim to reach the skies by living as Ibad ur Rahman
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen

This is a gift from a very dear sister to me.
May Allah grant her barakah; I decided in shaa Allah to share these words of wisdom with you. May Allah accept from her.

Your concern
When you are just worried about purifying yourself, cleaning yourself and repenting, then you will have all that you need without even asking, subhan Allah. Allah (swt) knows what we all need.
The problem is that we human beings are very hasty, and we are not satisfied – we need to have the satisfaction with the repentance, Allah (swt) will give us more than what we want, He Ta'ala is Al Kareem – The Most Generous. So we need to fix our past with repentance – maybe we wronged someone, said something wrong and other wrongdoings which we may not even realise.
Surah Nuh 10-12: (فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ غَفَّارً۬ا (١٠) يُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّدۡرَارً۬ا (١١) وَيُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَٲلٍ۬ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ وَيَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡہَـٰرً۬ا (١٢)) (I said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; (10) 'He will send rain to you in abundance; (11) 'And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.' " (12))

You protect Allah's deen
Allah Ta'ala will protect all your affairs
May Allah AlRazzaq become your Wali
And Bless you with His Noor

فَفِرُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ - Run, flee to Allah (Surah
Adh-Dhariyat, ayah 50)
In the heat of the life
If you say you do
not have
Smile and check
your heart
Ask, what do you
not have?
When the world
outside is not responding to your needs
Turn inwards,
towards your heart and start fulfilling the rights of the One who gave you this
heart in the first place
If you compare
yourself to those who have, then you will be sad always
What they have is a
gift from Allah, how they use it, is their test!
What you do not
have is your test from Allah, how do you react and how you interact with Allah,
Al Wahab is your test!
Happiness has many
names
Forgiveness,
Gratefulness, Patience, Affection, Compassion are only some of the names
Its ultimate source
is nothing but turning, running to Allah
It does not matters
how dark was your past, you cannot change it!
It does not matter
how the future is going to unfold, you have not seen it!
If you change your
focus and turn to Allah in every situation
No darkness will
remain darkness,
There will be peace
with the past
Contentment with
the present
Hope and complete
Trust in Allah, Al Vakil, Al Barr, Ar Rahim for what the future holds for you
It is not what you
do not have that matters, it is how satisfied you are with your provision that
dictates your happiness
Alhamdulil Allah
For some, mountains
of gifts from Allah do not bring them to closer to The One who gave them in the
first place
For others, one
gift from Allah is enough to open the key to contentment and happiness
If you are blessed
with the gift of eman, faith, then subhanal Allah all doors of happiness are
open for you, in shaa Allah you choose which door you want to enter from
Do not hesitate, to
ask Him, Al Mujeeb will respond you in the most suitable way and at the right
time
Just be watchful of
your steps, walk between Taqwa and Tawaqul
No door will remain
closed for you, Subhanal Allah

أَمَّنْ يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
| Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilâh (god) with Allâh? Little is that you remember! |

The Worth of this dunya
Oh traveler, which caravan do you want to be part of?
Dunya we all want to have, but what is everlasting?
Akhirah, what is the proof?
Subhanal Allah, open the Qur'an and ask yourself, Who is the author?
Go to a graveyard, check the graves, and ask about your end, ask about your journey
Subhanal Allah, look at the universe which you are part of, does it not remind you of the Surah Al Fatiha?
Does it not take you back to Surah Al Fatiha?
In the nights when you are alone, Who is there for you?
Who hears your cry?
Allah, Al Hayye, Al Qayyum, Allah The Ever Living and The One Who Sustains and protects everything, so why are you despairing for this temporary pain and world?
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah

Birds, my friends
I thought you were there for me,
no, you were not there for me!
I thought there was a bond of friendship between us,
no, there was no bond of friendship!
I thought you would be there in my pain,
no, you were too busy enjoying your gain!
I thought you were special,
no, you were not special, I got it wrong!
I elevated you to clouds, subhanal Allah,
you dropped on top of me, you were "thuraab", you
were sand!
I woke up crying,
It was a nightmare! Alhamdulil Allah, a wake up call!
That is dunya, a world of deception, Subhanal Allah,
Attach only to Allah, your Walyi,
Let it go...
Ask Allah for His love and that will suffice you,
I became free, subhanal Allah,
I became friends with the birds and I started to smile
again, Alhamdulil Allah
Subhanal Allah, Alhamdulil Allah, Allahu Akbar

Surah Nooh, ayah 10-12 – These are words of advice Prophet Nooh AS to his nation
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
"I said (to them): 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving;
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا
'He will send rain to you in abundance;
وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
'And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.' "
Rain drops in your heart and in your path
If you are going through any test...whether it is a test of any difficulty or any abundance, then just stop and see which direction you are heading on.
1-If you do not have a partner in life and struggle to come to terms that someone else has (what it seems) a great partner, then turn to the Qur'an and read about Maryam, the mother of Eisa AS. She did not have the companion and she received the miracle of being the mother of one of the Prophets, Eisa/Jesus AS. How did she cope, she had the companionship of Allah SWT. She had the support of Allah SWT. She knew this world is not the end!
So if you ever consider and question and compare yourself to others, stop for a moment and bring yourself back to that point where you know there is a plan of Allah SWT. Do not ever think, that those who have found partners in life, it is because they deserve it or it is their merit. Subhanal Allah no! By no means!
Anything good that you attain in this dunya is a gift from Allah and it is a means of test! Some are tested by having it and others are tested by not having it!
How do you succeed, be grateful for what you are and what you have and ask Allah to protect the blessings to those He has given and ask Allah to give you but with goodness and without trials and tribulations. All of us are blessed and we have much more than we do not have. But we have to stop comparing ourselves with others and have to "mind our own business more than others' business".
2-If you do not have children, then do not despair...just look at the children you meet in your path as flowers whose fragrance you can smell but you cannot take home.
If you want children, then remember Zakaryah AS and the duaa He made to Allah for giving him a heir, was not Allah enough for Him? Subhanal Allah
3- You are broken, there is darkness! You realise the sins that you have committed and you want to turn to Allah, then remember Yunus AS and his plight in the belly of the fish. Did He not turn to Allah, did He not find Allah responsive to Him?
4- We are in a battle, the enemies are in big numbers and you are feeling overwhelmed. What do you do? Subhanal Allah, the Prophet SAW turned to Allah at the time of the battle of Badr and what did Allah do? Subhanal Allah, The Muslim army was strengthened with the presence of angels, Subhanal Allah. Who won the battle?
5-You are looking for a job, your business is not doing well and you have commitments to fulfil, what do you do? You turn to Allah like Musa AS turned to Allah and then you use the means that He brings close to you! What did he get? Subhanal Allah, not only a job but a family also. Subhanal Allah.
6- You are sick and you have lost everything, you have no strength to continue...where do you go? Where did Ayub AS go? At which door did He turn to? What did he get? Everything that he had lost was returned to him and much more, including His health.
7- You feel dunya has been running away from you, Subhanal Allah. Think about the Prophet SAW, He used to run away from dunya.
8- You feel, you are not getting what you need from dunya, then check your focus. Where are you heading to? What is the purpose of your life?
Allah subhana wa t'Ala gives dunya to both good and bad people, to Muslims and non Muslim too. So do not be deceived, but just start focusing more on the longer term, in the hereafter and think about the purpose of your creation, why has Allah created you?
9- Qur'an gives bashara, glad tidings to those who believe, and hence if we turn to Allah in Istigfar for all our mistakes, shortcomings, excesses and also for all our imperfect worship and good deeds, Allah will meet our needs. Who is Allah and who are we? We do not give due merit to Allah, so at least we can turn to Him in forgiveness and He will cover us not only with His forgiveness but also with His Mercy, Blessings, Bounties and Barakah.

الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
Guide us
to the Straight Way ( Surah AL Fateha, Ayah 6)
|
Walking in the Sand
Walking in the sand, I leave the marks behind
Do I know, the path ahead?
Surely not, however Allah, Al Alim, Al Hakim already knows the path
that I am going to thread
I keep walking...
There is uncertainty, but there is faith, there is hope and there is assurance
that Allah, who is my Nassir and Walyy is not going to leave me alone
I keep walking...
I discover more and more Who Allah is and who I am
Subhanal Allah, everything makes sense
There is a balance, there is an understanding between Al Kaleq, The
Creator and the creation
I know what my purpose in this life is and I know that I am supposed
only to walk
I ask Allah to guide me to the path that is straight...thereby the
destination will be the most righteous one
My prayer has been heard, my prayer has been answered by Allah, As
Samee, Al Mujeeb
I keep walking in the sand...knowing where to go.

How close You are!
"Allah says, 'I am as my servant expects Me to be, and I am with him when he remembers me. If he thinks of Me, I think of him. If he mentions Me in company, I mention him in an even better company. When he comes closer to Me by a handspan, I come closer to him an arm's length. If he draws closer to Me by an arm's length, I draw closer by a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him. If my servant comes to Me walking, I go to him running." (Al-Bukhari)Rabbie,
You have unraveled to me in beautiful ways, subhanal AllahAs I ran towards the world, the world kept going far away from me
The moment I decided that I had enough of this race without real purpose
The moment I realized that my gaze should be directed towards your pleasure
I have started seeing the secrets of your decisions
I have started seeing the wisdom behind your decisions
I have started relying on you for decision making
I have started relying on you for guiding me all the way through
Now life has a new meaning
I have become like a bird
I have become free and light
My aim is to work for your pleasure
My aim is to attain taqwa of you
May aim is to have complete tawaqul in you
Now, nothing makes me really scared
Even in the moments of fear, your love and your care overpower this fear
and
I realise that now I know you are taking care of me, you love me and you will give me falah, not because I deserve it but because I have decided to turn towards you, to run towards your pleasure
You are my Rabb, Who loves me more than my mother
You are my Walyi, my Closest Friend and Companion...Subhanal Allah
Subhanal Allahi wa Behamdehi
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah

Surah Ghafir, ayah 55
فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ
So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault, and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkâr (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon)
Good Morning, by the Will of Allah
Bismil Allah, Alhamdulil Allah, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatul Allahi wa Barakatahu
We do not celebrate the new year, but we celebrate every morning and every evening and every turning point of the day and night!
We celebrate the dawn, when we obey Allah and we pray fajr salah
We celebrate the morning when after fajr, we sit down and recite the morning adhkar, remembrance as done by the Prophet SAW
We celebrate the turning of the morning into the afternoon when we pray dhuhoor
We celebrate the afternoon and the nearing of the closing of the day with the Asr salah and the evening adhkar, remembrance as done by the Prophet SAW
We celebrate the evening with the Maghreb salah
We celebrate the early night when we stand for Eisha before sleeping
We celebrate the night when we remember Allah with the sleeping adhkar, remembrance as done by the Prophet SAW
We celebrate the depths of the night, when we wake up and Glorify and Praise Allah in the Tahajud prayer
May Allah give us taufique, guidance in practice, ameen
Hence our celebration is a continuous, day and night, 24/7 celebration.
For us, there is no time for letting anything or anyone put us down, whether it be a person or circumstance.
For us there are no bad days, every day is a gift, is an opportunity to come closer to Allah and thereby achieve success in this dunya and akhira.
Allah subhana wa t'Ala gives us opportunity after opportunity to turn to Him, to seek His forgiveness, to cry to him for help, to cry to Him in both joy and sadness, to ask Him whatever we want. Subhanal Allah.
A Muslim is in celebration 24 hours a day, all around the year...as long He is obeying Allah because then he will have achieved paradise in His heart, even before he reaches the real paradise.
HADITH QUDSI:On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah said: 'I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, nor has it occurred to the human heart.'" Thus recite if you wish (1): "And no soul knows what joy for them (the inhabitants of Paradise) has been kept hidden (Qur'an Chapter 32 Verse 17)." [Bukhari, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.]
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah.

Are you open minded?
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Jibril (Gabriel) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Allah's Messenger! This is Khadijah, coming to you with a dish having meat soup (or some food or drink). When she reaches you, greet her on behalf of her Lord (Allah) and on my behalf, and give her the glad tidings of having a palace made of Qasab in Paradise, wherein there will be neither any noise nor any toil, (fatigue, trouble, etc.)." [Al-Bukhari]
They think we are oppressed, they think that an open mind requires "open dressing"...
Subhanal Allah, how wrong they got it!
The reality is totally different...we have chosen, by the will of Allah, a way of life which is free and liberating.
Do you know who was Khadija RA??? Does that ring bells???
She was a 40 years old businesswoman who proposed a 25 years old man, called Muhammad SAW to marry him!
She did not propose him because he was very attractive; she was fascinated by his character, his faithfulness as his agent in one of the trading caravans. Subhanal Allah.
Could you do that or would you allow your children to do that?
Muhammad SAW was a 25 year old, who did not feel bad at all when saying yes to Khadija RA...how many of our Muslim men nowadays would be happy to get married to someone older than them, let alone 15 years older than them. He did not get married because of her wealth but because He thought there was nothing wrong with it and above all, Allah had willed it!
Who was behind this...Allah SWT, what a beautiful plan!
They had a successful marriage...she was there in his good times and in his bad times and subhanal Allah how much she was loved and respected by Allah SWT...She was sent salam by Allah SWT and granted the good tidings that she was a woman of Jannah while still being alive. Subhanal Allah.
The way our society is progressing, we need to question ourselves...are we open minded enough to accept the like the above situations?
Are the parents preparing the children to have such an open mind to the reality that they realise that the only boundary they need to respect is the boundary of Taqwa; that is obeying Allah and avoiding sins and all this based on the love of Allah, Al Wadood (The All Loving) hope in Allah, Al Ghafoor Ar Raheem (The All Forgiving, The All Merciful) and fear of Allah.
Subhanal' Allah.
In shaa Allah, let's reflect on the above and let us open our minds and hearts and let Al Wasi ( The Vast, the All- Encompassing, the All-Sufficient) take over our hearts and reasoning.
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen. Wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bismil Allah, Alhamdulil Allah,
wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah
What do you not have?
"Allah says, 'I am as my servant expects Me to be, and I am with him when he remembers me. If he thinks of Me, I think of him. If he mentions Me in company, I mention him in an even better company. When he comes closer to Me by a handspan, I come closer to him an arm's length. If he draws closer to Me by an arm's length, I draw closer by a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him. If my servant comes to Me walking, I go to him running." (Al-Bukhari)
Do you realise what you have or do you always count what you do not have???
Subhanal Allah...It is very easy to start counting and stating I do not have this, I do not have that...
in shaa Allah, we need to look at the bag of treasures and gifts that we are holding within us and outside us.
Subhanal Allah.
Do you believe in Allah? This is one of the biggest gifts and one bigger gift than this is knowing Who is Allah.
Through knowing Allah, everything makes sense.
.
We are masakeen, we are beggars in front of Allah. However rich and healthy and prosperous we are...we are still beggars in front of Allah. We are all disabled in front of Allah, however healthy and fit we think we are.
However, there is one key... start counting what you have and in shaa Allah your list will be unending!
If you want more and better then you can get more and better if you ask Allah,...Allah is The Malekul Mulk, He owns the treasures of the heavens and the earth...what are you waiting for...just ask...its is Friday...ask more...Allah will respond.
Stop comparing yourself with others. Allah has made you unique (one of my beloved sisters' reminded me of this 2 days ago)...now how do you use this "uniqueness" that Allah has given you?
This is what you have to discover...This is our lifetime job, to use all the gifts that Allah has given us to please Him, to come closer to Him.
We are going to leave this world with 5 pieces of cloth for a woman and 3 pieces of cloth for a man.
Time is precious and it is compulsory for us to do our best with whatever Allah has given us, that is it!
It is compulsory upon us to be happy with Allah, otherwise we are not happy with our qadar!
Alhamdulil Allah...rejoice and use this day to come closer to Allah and ask Allah for everything and anything...but do not get attached to what you are asking. Get attached to Allah, Al Wahab, The One who bestows gifts.
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah.

Surah bani Isra’il; 17: 24
ْ رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
Rabbir hamhuma
kama Rabbayani Sagheera (My Lord! bestow on them Thy Mercy even as they
cherished me in childhood)
Mother
As your soul reached the throat, you opened
the eyes one more time
At that time, you were not looking at us…your
gaze had travelled to a world unseen to the living
Your sickness made you frail, your speech was
not there anymore
You could not give me the words of strength
which you were used to utter to me
I had grown and matured but I was still your
“baby”…when you used to see me, you used to like to kiss me…when I went out,
when I came back, when I went to sleep
A quick sneeze would make you feel worried
about my health
My pain was your pain
As you laid down in your last sickness, the
clock had stopped for your loved ones
At that time the dua’a was not for your
recovery…the dua’a was for the best outcome; we had surrendered to Allah, we
had surrendered to Al Ahad, Who loved you more than we did, subhanal Allah
We had surrendered to Al Hayye Al Qaiyum, Who
loved us more than you did
Your advice is in front of me…you forgiving
everyone before you sleep; honouring the guest; smiling to everyone; affection
for older and younger; commitment to your family,
your in laws, your brothers and sisters and nephews and nieces, your friends crying…the list
is long…your were loved by almost everyone I can think of… revenge you did not
take...your tongue moist with dhikr of Allah…Subhanal Allah…
You smiled as you were being headed towards
your temporary home…the “qabr” that we all dread…your sickness and your death
have touched me by the will of Allah…
Will I ever be the same??? In shaa Allah, no…I do not think so
The sadness is enormous but the acceptance of
Allah’s plan is even greater and I say Alhamdulil Allah in every circumstance.
I ask Allah to grant you firdaus al ‘ala and
may my father be there waiting for you.
Ameen ya Rabb al alameen.

AYAT (Verses last part of 2 and 3) from Surah (Chapter) At Talaq, no 65
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
I seek
refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ
يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps
his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ
لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ
ۚ قَدْ
جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
And He will provide him from
(sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then
He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allâh
has set a measure for all things.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

name of Allah, The Lord of Mercy, The Giver of Mercy

Al Nassir (The One Who grants victory)
I thought I had passed
the test
I thought I had reached
the destination
I thought I was going to
achieve the heights that I had desired
Suddenly, I
realised…hold on!
The test was not over
I was still climbing the mountain
But now, I was not
climbing on the back of anyone,
I was climbing with the
support of Allah, Al Wali (The Protecting Friend), Al Nassir (The One Who
grants victory)
Yes, Allah was “carrying” me, Al Qader (The
All Able, All Powerful) and I felt light
Suddenly I realised,
that bedihnil Allah (with the permission of Allah)
I was actually winning
the battle, yes…I had realised that Allah, Ar Rahman was holding me
Whatever came my way, I
was being taken care of, I was being provided by Allah Ar Razaq (The All
Provider)
My provision was not
linked to anyone but to the will of Allah
As I was climbing the
mountain, subhanal Allah, I was feeling light…so light as if I was ‘walking in the
park” in a beautiful evening, with a refreshing breeze…
That was eman (faith),
that was tawaqul (reliance and trust)…in Allah
There was only concern
now…to live and to act with sidq, with truthfulness towards Allah, myself and
the creation
There was only one
concern now… to act and live with taqwa, within the boundaries set by Allah
That is my condition!…If
such is my condition, I am sure Allah, Al Fat’ah ( The All Opener) will open
the way and in shaa Allah I will attain the best nasr (victory) and this will
be the best victory, from Allah subhana wa t’Ala ( Glory be to Allah, free from
any imperfection).

Bismil Allah Ar Rahman Ar Rahim
Alhamdulil
Allah, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah
Allah, your
Wali, your Protecting friend
We all love
having friends, being popular, centre of attentions
Subhanal
Allah
We love
to hear our praises
Subhanal
Allah
Sometimes….those
loving friends become silent and those words of praise quieten
Subhanal
Allah
Why?
Allah wants
you to connect with Him, He wants you to realise this most trustworthy
friendship
Allah wants
you to take Him as a Friend... actually much more than that... as a Protecting
Friend
Allah wants
you to stop craving for your praise but He wants you to sing
His praises…Subhanal Allahi wa Be Hamdehi ( Glory be to Allah, free from
any imperfections and all praises are due to Allah as there is no good that
happens to you except by His will)…
Allah wants
you to connect with Him through His Qur’an…
Qur’an is not
a silent friend…Qur’an is the Word of your Protecting Friend….Who is never
going to be silent as long as you want to talk to Him…
Allah wants
you to connect with Him through dua'a, supplication...yes...He is a Al Mujeeb,
The Responder and He is Al Wahab, The Giver...the moment you turn to Him and
crave for His companionship... you will realise that He is your Wali, your
Protecting Friend.

The most noble slavery and the most
blessed words
As I wnder in the deserts of Arabia
I thank Allah for the sounds of the
adhan
As I wonder in the deserts of Arabia
How can my heart not soften as I hear
the call after call of my Rabb inviting me to submission?
As I wonder in the deserts of Arabia,
and I bear witness to the 10 blessed days of the year, I realize the importance
of time and the importance of a profitable business
As I wonder in the lands of Arabia, I
realize that the currency of Islam are good deeds…we cannot pay anyone or
anything except with good deeds!
Subhanal Allah and as we trade with good
deeds, Rabbana increases our profit…some we are able to enjoy in dunya, the
remaining will be provided to us on the Day of Accounting
One of these beloved deeds to our Rabb,
is to witness and utter His magnificence, particularly in these first ten days
of Dhul Hijjah:
الله أكبر الله أكبر
ALLAH IS THE GREATEST, ALLAH IS THE GREATEST
لا اله الا الله
NO ONE IS TRULY WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH
الله أكبر الله أكبر
ALLAH IS THE GREATEST, ALLAH IS THE GREATEST
ولله الحمد
AND ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH
As I ponder the meaning of the above
verses, I realize that they actually give me the freedom from all slavery,
except the true slavery! Then, what is this true slavery? Submission, complete
submission to Allah only
In the above blessed phrases as I say
that as Allah is The Greatest and He is The Only true God worthy of worship,
then all praise can be due only to Him. Anything good that I accomplish is by
His will and by His facilitation! Then, why should I feel subdued to His
creation? Subhanal Allah, Allah submitted all creation to me so that I could
worship Him with ease, Subhanal Allah
In shaa Allah, as you utter more and
more the above blessed and the most truthful words in every land, not only in
the lands and deserts of Arabia, I ask you…is the heart moving, do you perceive
the greatness of the above phrases???
Subhanal Allah, if yes then you have
grasped, at least to a certain extent who is Allah; if the answer is no, no
reason to despair! Go back to the Qur’an and find out Who is Allah and all
roads will open to Jannah in your heart in dunya and the complete jannah in the
hereafter, beidhnil Allah
Alhamduil Allah Rabb al alameen, wa
salato wa salamo ala Rasulil Allah.

Such are on guidance from their Lord,
and such are the successful.
|
So many deadlines!
I rush to pray…
So many deadlines!
I have to pray just the
Fardh/obligatory and run to achieve that deadline!
You know, time is very precious
and dunya (world) is very important!!!
You understand, my livelihood is
my work!!!
You understand, I have to please
my boss!
He is waiting for the report…if I
pray the Sunnah (optional prayer performed by the Prophet SAW)…I will not catch
the promotion train…while I am praying the Sunnah…my colleagues are winning
over me….time is very precious….dunya is very important…
Stop! RED LIGHT!
Put the brakes on! Come out of
this “bandwagon”!
No real
success in dunya can come by running towards dunya!
Be sure of it! Subhanal Allah
There is one straight path and
this straight path is the path to success!
If success is
what you are after!
If promotion is what you are
after!
If marriage
is what you are after!
If good children is what you are
after!
If dunya is
what you are after!
Then yes, turn to Salah (prayer),
because it is in Salah that there is falah (success)…and this the
Muedhin’s (the caller to prayer) cry at least five times a day! Subhanal Allah
Salah is
falah and Allah subhana wa t’Ala does not say that it is falah only in the
hereafter, it is falah, complete falah and complete falah is falah in dunya and
akhirah (hereafter).
Salah is not only going to give
you the dunya, but it is going to give you the means of success in dunya
and akhirah!
Salah is going to be a means of
taqwa (piety, consciousness of Allah)….
Salah is
going to be a means of sabr (patience and perseverance)…
Salah is going to be a means
of shukr (gratitude)…
Salah is going to be a means of
hidaya (guidance)... and much more...subhanal Allah
Salah is going to be a means of
putting things in the right perspective...
Salah is going to give you a long
term vision…
If you put Salah first, then in
shaa Allah everything else will fall into place...
As we run towards dunya, let’s
start thinking about akhirah!
Let’s start thinking about Jannah
(Paradise), Firdaus (Highest place in Jannah)
Next time, you have a deadline…surely
work hard, actually, no! Work smarter!
Aim to work less but with barakah
(blessings and abundance resulting from the support of Allah)!
How are you going to obtain
barakah?
Subhanal Allah, turn to Allah in Salah,
pray the Fardh and also the Sunnah and make a lot of dua’a both in sujood
(prostration) and before you say the salam (finish the prayer)…I can assure you
that Rabbana is going to make the task at hand easy and will also make you
successful in dunya and akhira…Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb ala alameen

The power of dua’a
As I woke up in
the morning
I turned my
heart to Allah, an then my tongue
I think I did
not raise my hands…but I was making dua’a
This is my means
of strength…this is what turns the bad into good
This is what changes
qadar… destiny
Sometimes you
wonder, how long is the test going to last
Sometimes you
wonder, why is its taking that long???
But we need to
learn….to keep asking Allah for each and every need of ours
We are hungry,
unless Allah feeds us
We are naked,
unless Allah clothes us
We are sick,
unless Allah gives us health
We are homeless,
unless Allah gives us shelter
We are poor, unless
Allah gives us halal wealth
We are ignorant,
unless Allah gives us beneficial knowledge
We are lost,
unless Allah shows us the way
We do not have
sustenance, unless Allah gives us sustenance
Subhanal Allah,
the list is endless
The key realization
is that you are Allah’s slave whether enjoying a blessing or missing it!
And in both
situations you have to realize your total dependence in Allah
If you have it,
it is only Allah that can protect it for you!
And if you do
not have it, it is only Allah that can give you!
So there is
neither space for boasting or arrogance nor for despair and lowliness towards human
beings in Islam!
We are abd al’
Allah, slaves of Allah, Al Ahad and He is enough for us!

Allah will not let you break!
I feel the race has got tougher!
Or is it me who is becoming weaker?
Am I breaking?
No, that is not acceptable! Simply not
acceptable!
A believer can never break down…this is
not acceptable!
The moment of weakness is the moment of
tear, at that moment Allah’s help will race towards you, in a way that you
cannot even imagine, subhanal Allah!
But this help, will become visible only
at a time that is right for you, not at the time you want it to be!
Your vision is limited… you feel you are
breaking, but no, never, Allah is building you and is raising your ranks
through the hardship and tests!
You just cover yourself with consistent
remembrance of Allah, so that the devil does not get the opportunity to play up
with your emotions and strength!
Allah’s help is near…remember Ebrahim
AS, with the fire came the coolness but there was something else! Do you
remember???
Tawaqul in addition to an unbreakable
faith and consciousness that Allah will not let his beloved Khaleel (friend –
Ebrahim AS) break…
So, we learn to build our faith and as
we build our faith with the help of Allah Azzawajal, we increase our reliance,
our tawaqul in Allah because faith cannot be complete without reliance!

Changing winds
Subhanal Allah,
life has ups and downs
Seasons change,
flowers and fruits change with the seasons
There are
moments of joy, there are moments of pain
There are days
when you feel the world is your oyster, there are days when you feel this world
is not yours
There are
moments of love and there are moments of hurt
There are
pleasant surprises and there are unexpected disappointments
There is day and
there is night
There is
sunshine and there is rain
There is a smile
and laughter and there is a tear and a moment of cry
All this change
bears witness to how “unstable” is life and hence how desperate we are to hold
to The One Who does not change, Allah subhana wa t’Ala, Al Hayye (The
Everliving), Al Qayyum ( The One that supports and sustains all that exists)
So whenever you feel
overwhelmed by change in your life, turn and run to Al Hayye, Al Qayyum, He is
going to give you the strength to face the change with stability and the
security that only faith in Allah can allow you to feel and only trust in Allah’s
plan can make you stand still like a firmly rooted palm tree on the face of
changing winds
Alhamdulil Allah

The race is not over yet!
The body is tired
The stomach is asking for food
The mouth is thirsty
Ya Allah! I cannot do this on my own!
…..you are running the last 4 Km of the
Ramadan 1435 marathon…
You have come too far, subhanal Allah!
No, you cannot give up now!
You cannot stop yet!
You can take a quick rest, take a deep
breath and continue running in the Name of Allah for the sake of Allah!
The end is close and just imagine what
delights await you???
Taqwa, Forgiveness and Jannah!
Subhanal Allah
If you attained Taqwa and Forgiveness,
then you are witnessing “Jannah” while in dunya…
You are living “paradise in my heart”
and what awaits you in the hereafter is even better…
Abu Huraira
reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Allah, the Exalted
and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which no eye (has
ever) seen, no ear has (ever) heard and no human heart has ever perceived those
bounties leaving apart (those bounties) about which Allah has informed you. (Bukhari)

Bismil Allah Ar Rahman Ar

Alhamdulil Allah, wa salato wa

What do I want?
As I stand
in front of Allah, Ar Rahman, AL Mujeeb, Al Wahab. Al Malekul Mulk, Al
Ghani, AL Mughni, Ar Razak….I feel all the assurance I need to succeed in this
world and hereafter
As I raise
my hands, as I put my head into sujood, as I beg to Allah while
seated in tashahud, as I ask Him while standing, walking, lying - subhanal
Allah -I realise how beautiful is to have Allah as my companion. He never
leaves; sometimes I go after people, after friends…in the expectation of being
reciprocated with love! Subhanal Allah
How can I
expect a “faqueerr” giving something to a “faqueerr”…this is the fallacy of all
attachment in this dunya, Subhanal Allah
If you
ever felt the world is selfish, yes the world is selfish…but you Rabb is not
selfish, you Rabb is Al Kareem, Al Wahab, Al Manan, Al Ghani, Al Mughni,
Alhamdulil Allah
As you
stand in front of Rabbana, do not shy away, ask to the heart’s feel: ask Allah
to open for you the means as He opened the means for Dhul Qarnain;
As you
stand in front of As Shafii, ask Him to cure you as He cured Ayub AS;
As you
stand in front of Al Malekul Mulk, ask Him to open the gates of knowledge and
halal wealth and a kingdom like He opened for Daud AS and his son Sulaiman AS
As you
stand in front of Al Latif Al Khabir, ask Allah to take care of you, to honour
you as He honoured Yusuf AS
As you
stand in front Al Azeez, ask Allah to open you the way, the way he did open the
sea from Musa AS
As you
stand in front of Al Hakeem, ask Allah to grant you the wisdom that he granted
to Luqman
As you
stand in front of As Sabur, ask Allah to grant you the sabr jameel that He
granted to Yakoub AS
As you
stand in front of As Shakoor, ask Allah to grant you the gratefulness of the
Prophet SAW
As you
stand in front of Al Ghafoor Ar Rahim, ask Allah to bestow you the forgiveness
that He bestowed to Yunus AS, which took him out from all darknesses and opened
a new dawn in his life…and the means to this opening is highlighted by Allah in
Surah Al Anbiyah, ayah 87:
وَذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا
فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَنْ لَا
إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
And
(remember) Dhun-Nûn (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We
shall not punish him (i.e. the calamites which had befallen him)! But he cried
through the darkness (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Anta [none has the right to be
worshipped but You (O Allâh)], Glorified (and Exalted) are You [above all that
(evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers."

Our eyes cry for
you, our brother and sister in pain
As we hear the
painful counts in the lands of Palestine, Syria, Sri Lanka, you name it!
As we see scenes
of sadness in our screens of TV,
This is the
moment of brotherhood!
Allah subhana wa
t’Ala is calling us to task!
We cry and we
curse the perpetrators
We ask about unity,
brotherhood, we ask about justice
What is going to
take us out from the mess we are in?
The moment we
take the responsibility with the help of Allah to contribute to this world
becoming a better place to live in!
We have to start
by making dua'a for our leaders, for Allah to aid them in their decision-making,
for them to walk upon the straight path, upon the justice, upon the truth; then
our duaa is for our needy brothers and sisters for Allah to keep them steadfast,
to take them out of their pain and suffering and then to ask Allah subhana wa t’Ala
to make us help them in the best way.
As we see our brothers
and sisters being tested with hunger, pain, suffering we are being tested with
all the wellbeing and joy of this dunya, Alhamdulil Allah
There are many
questions…
Are we fulfilling the commands of zakah and
sadqah towards the needy ones?
Are we remembering our brothers/sisters in our
duaa as we remember our blood brothers/sisters?
Are we teaching
our children, our youth the importance of unity and brotherhood not only in
homes but in the community, in the Muslim Ummah? Subhanal Allah
In shaa Allah as
we break our fast today, as we wake up for tahajud…spare some moment of your
joy…to cry for your brothers and sisters that you have not seen but to whom the
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) called brothers and sisters
Our happiness
and joy cannot be complete and our responsibility cannot be fulfilled until we
fulfill the rights of our extended family, our Muslim Ummah to the best of our
ability!

What is my
worth?
As you stand in
front of the door of Malik Al-Mulk (The Possessor of Kingdom, the King of the kings)
You ask your
Rabb, what is your status?
What is your
worth?
Rabb al alameen
has already answered you in the Qur’an!
Surah Al Isra,
ayah 70
وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا
And indeed We have honoured the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Taiyyibât (lawful good things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment.
This is your real worth!
This is your Creator, Al Khaleq
Who is affirming it! Hence it is the truth!
So how are your actions? Are they
worthy of such an honour, such a status that Al Malik Al-Mulk has honoured you
with?
So in your salah as you fall down
in sujood, beg your Rabb to raise your actions to reach to that status that He
has confirmed in the Qur’an.
The answer from your Rabb, Malik Al-Mulk is assured
as long as you are truthful in your belief and your sincerity, subhanal Allah.
So the duaa is ya Allah make us
truthful slaves of you only, Malik Al-Mulk
Ameen ya Rabb al alameen

The door to taqwa!
Your stomach is empty, your heart
is full with the remembrance of Allah subhana wa t’Ala
Shopping malls are filled with
people passing time, you are running to and from the Majid and all the
gatherings of beneficial knowledge
For some, Ramadan is the
accomplishment of their desires, for others Ramadan is the fulfillment of their
souls’ needs
So what is Ramadan about?
Ramadan is about building your
connection with your Allah, Al Khaleq, your Creator
Ramadan is about building yourself
towards becoming a Muslim, one submissive to the commands of Allah subhana wa
t’Ala and as you become a Muslim, you want to become a moomeen, a believer in
all that Allah wants you to believe and as you become a believer, then you run
to ehsan, to excellence – you worship as if you can see Allah, and if you
cannot see Allah, then be sure that He can see you. When you reach ehsan, then
beidhnil Allah, you will reach taqwa . When you reach taqwa - the purpose of
your fasting- then you will feel Allah’s presence in every act that you perform
and in every decision that you take. Then no problem will remain unresolved as
you will be guided by Allah’s Light.
And when you have Allah's Light
guiding you, do you think any good door will ever remain
closed to you?
Surah Al Baqarah, ayah 183
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ
قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting)
is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may
become Al-Muttaqûn
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
And whosoever fears Allâh ( has taqwa) is and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).

Bismil Allah Ar Rahman Ar Rahim
Alhamdulil Allah, wa salato wa salamo ala Rasulil
Allah
You are not alone!
It is coming closer, subhanal Allah!
Will I reach there? Less than 24 hours to go!
The duaa is for Allah to make us reach Ramadan with
a very strong faith and to make us complete Ramadan with an even stronger faith
and with His complete acceptance, ameen ya Rabb al alameen.
Ramadan is not a celebration of families, Ramadan
is a celebration of the revelation of the Qur’an and hence Qur’an was not
revealed in the “hush rush” of the city, of a family; it was revealed in the
night of Qadr, in the month of Ramadan in the mount Hira, in seclusion to the
Prophet SAW, subhanal Allah.
If you are alone, go back 1435 years ago and make
your home the “mount Hira”…this is your opportunity to create a very strong bond
with your Rabb, with the Book He started to reveal in this blessed month.
One of the reasons why Ramadan is mubarak (blessed)
is because the Qur’an is mubarak and Qur’an can only make our lives Mubarak if
we open it, read it, understand it, reflect upon it and implement it! This is
what this month is about! Subhanal Allah.
Whether you are working, whether you are not,
whether you are alone, whether you are in a family, it does not matter, you
just have to connect to Allah! This is your golden opportunity to ask Allah to
accomplish every halal (legitimate) desire in your life.
As you work, as you walk, as you sleep, as feed
your children, as you engage in any social relation, make the Qur’an alive,
bring the “Qur’an personality” alive, become a “walking” Qur’an like the
Prophet SAW was, become generous as the “wind” as the Prophet SAW was in the
month of Ramadan.
This is the month for you to think about why Ar
Rahman made you His ‘agent” on earth, this is the time of action… dawah is not
only about sharing knowledge, dawah is also about making others know Ar Rahman, Al Kareem
through your behaviour and your actions. Subhanal Allah.
Wherever you are, this is your month, yes this is
your month! This is that time of the year where you can with the will of Allah pave
the way for your Jannah (paradise) in this dunya (world) and akhira
(hereafter).

The road of “tazkiah” (purification)
I fell down, I fell down!
But the faith that has already penetrated in my
heart holds my hand and tell me
Stand up, stand up!
This is your journey and you cannot let it go!
This is what tazkiah does to me!
I know my weaknesses, I know my darknesses but my
Allah knows it even better than me!
He has clearly stated in the Qur’an that man has
been created weak (Surah AN Nisah, ayah 28)
“And Allah wants to lighten
for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.” (Qur’an 4:28)
I know my strengths, I know my “stars” but Allah
knows it even better than me!
Allah has clearly stated in the Qur’an that man has
been created in the best of the forms (Surah At-Tin, ayah 4)
“We have created the human
being in the best form” (Surah At-Tin, ayah 4)
So I turn to Allah, I seek from Allah purification
from all sicknesses of the heart, I seek Him forgiveness and I have no doubt if
I am sincere in my supplication and truthful in my determination to act upon
tazkiah, then there will be Light!
This Light is going to bring a clarity that is
going to open the Qur’an for me, the understanding of the Qur’an and when the Qur’an
is open for me, then this Light is going to remove all darknesses and all
doubts. Then I will be able to see the truth as truth and falsehood as falsehood.
But the journey of tazkiah is an ongoing journey
and the road has hills and thorns and hence we need to constantly turn to Allah
for help and support and cannot dare to give up!
Purification cannot stop until we meet Allah subhana wa t’Ala!
Purification cannot stop until we meet Allah subhana wa t’Ala!
…so in shaa Allah our journey has started!

The powerful women
I ask myself who is a powerful women?
Is she the one who has achieved success in her
career?
Is she the one who has a noble lineage?
Is she the one who has achieved success in her
family?
Is she the one who has achieved the fame?
No! The powerful women is the one who strives to
achieve the pleasure of Allah despite all adversities!
Powerful women is the one who does not give up! She
has a mission, she wants to live a life filled with taqwa!
Whatever comes her way, she knows her Creator and she
knows her destiny!
While she lives in the short term as tomorrow no
one of us has seen, her gaze is on the long term!
Sometimes she feels the night is long but then she
remembers surah Ad duha

"Relieve us ya Bilal !"
I woke up in the morning...I felt my heart heavy!
I felt sadness in my heart, I realized
that was a sign that I done something wrong, I needed relief!
The words of the Prophet SAW to Bilal RA (The
Sahaba who used to call to the prayer) came to my heart and were
transformed into action!
Subhanal Allah, what a relief!
I cried to Allah in sujood and opened my heart to
Allah.
Yes I felt a relief, yes I felt that my prayer was
answered, yes I realized the truthfulness in the words of the Prophet SAW.
So, never, ever despair of Allah's Mercy...
If you ever feel you missed the mark on taqwa
(doing what Allah likes and avoiding what Allah dislikes)...then turn to Allah,
make tauba (return to Allah), make istigfar (seek
forgiveness)...and relieve yourself with the prayer!
That is the time, to once again establish rapport
with your Rabb and be open and ask Allah for taqwa because with taqwa,
Allah subhana wa t'ala will open all the doors:
Allah
the most high says: وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ
يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
And
whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to
get out (from every difficulty) (Surah At-Talaq, ayah 2)
...and keep doing istigfar because istigfar is
going to be a means for you to attain taqwa and with istigfar, you will
find a solution to all the problems in your life.
Allah the most high says:
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ
كَانَ غَفَّارًا
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاء عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاء عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ
وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
Saying, ‘Ask
forgiveness from your Lord; for
He is Oft-Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance; “‘And Give
you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water)” (Surah Al Nuh 10-12)

Women of Jannah!
Oh women of Jannah (beidhnil Allah, with the
permission of Allah)!
As you read this, my prayer today is that you
become the women of Jannah
Allah subhana wa t'Ala has created you in the best
form, has honoured you in the role of a daughter, of a sister, of a mother, of
a wife
Subhanal Allah, you may not have attained or attain
the honour of all the roles but there are two roles that you cannot deny
Subhanal Allah, you are a daughter of a beautiful
mother...and she is always going to beautiful because she carried you through
nine months and her position is very high
Subhanal Allah, you are a sister, Allah subhana wa
t'Ala called believers as brothers/sisters so we do not have a choice!
We have a duty, to the best of our ability to fulfil
this sisterhood for the sake of Allah
The moment we try to fulfil this role with the help
of Allah, we will be contributing towards a healthy society, where there will
not be a place for uncontrolled jealousy, pride, arrogance and these will be
replaced with sharing and fulfilling the rights, humbleness, "lowering of
wing" towards your sister/brother, sabr and shukr
May Rabbana make each one of us fulfil every role
in our life for His pleasure and with ehsan (excellence)

In search of happiness!
Is there anything that can make me really happy
except the remembrance of Allah? NO, a straight NO!
Whenever you feel a moment of sadness, a
moment of sadness that takes you away from Allah…
Yes, there are moments of sadness that
we need to feel, and these are when we displease Allah, when we committed a
sin! These moments of sadness can bring us closer to Allah, if they do not make us despair of the mercy of Allah and they can be constructive if we turn to Allah!
Otherwise whenever you feel sad, you
have to realise that this sadness is not from Allah!
Sadness that makes you feel further way
from Rabbana is not from Rabbana!
So turn away from that feeling and run
to Allah and beg for that joy, happiness, contentment that only Rabbana can
give you.
Most sadness is work of shaytan, who
wants to create fear and despair in your heart, while Allah Subhana wa t’Ala wants to give
you hope and happiness.
This is only found in remembering Allah!

Angry?…Why?
I am angry, I am hungry
Why do you not eat your anger… ?
I am angry, I am burning
Why do you not make wudhu, wash your
hands, your face, wipe your head with wet hands and wash your feet …?Then you will say Alhamdulil Allah
I am angry, I am hot
Why do you not go out and take a small
walk…and enjoy the sun, the rain, the sky, the birds…?
Then you will say Subhanal Allah
I am angry, I want to break…
Why do you not take a break and have an
ice cream, rather than break someone’s heart with hurtful words…?
Then you will say Alhamdulil Allah
I am angry, I want to break the world with my words
Then you will say Alhamdulil Allah
I am angry, I want to smash someone’s face…
The strong man is not the one who throws down his adversary
Subhanal Allah…then indeed you would
have won your worst enemy…your nafs/lower self
Anger...anger needs to be hanged out of your life
Replace anger with calmness that can
only be attained if we realise that nothing matters in life except the pleasure
of Allah, our Creator
Replace anger with understanding the
person and the situation
Replace the dark face of anger with a
joyful heart full of understanding and gratefulness to Allah, our Rabb
Whose example do you want to
follow…Subhanal Allah, Allah has called Himself Al Halim, The Most ForbearingDo you not want to be forbearing…knowing how forbearing and patient is your Rabb?
You say this is not possible? The pain
is too strong!
It is possible with the help of
Allah…are not the lives of Prophet Yusuf AS and the Prophet SAW, an example of
anger transformed into mercy and forgiveness to fellow human beings.

Key of hope
Subhanal Allah, how beautiful is the light, the light from Allah
How beautiful is the light, the light from Rabbana
How beautiful is the light, the light from Al Noor
As you go through your daily routine, as you go through your daily tasks
there is a key, a beautiful key that is going to make all doors open
Subhanal Allah, this is the key of tauba (returning to Allah) and istigfar (seeking forgiveness)
The beauty about this key is that, it has two teeth...
One tooth of remembrance of Allah, through which your heart will open to the tranquility and serenity that it is in so much desperate need
Subhanal Allah, the other tooth is the one that is going to open for you the happiness of your Khaleeq, Creator because there is nothing that makes Rabbana more happier than a slave that returns to Him
The reason to do tauba is not only because we are sinners; no doubt we are sinners!
But the real reason for tauba is that we are in desperate need of Allah, we cannot live in this life without Allah!
Life would lose meaning if we let Allah go out of your life! Subhanal Allah
Returning to Allah is like saying ya Allah, I am at your door and only you can cover me with your forgiveness, mercy and bounties!
Has anyone ever had enough of Allah's forgiveness, mercy and bounties???
Let's not come out of the state of tauba, let's not leave istigfar....this is our fortress and also the opening key for any door of goodness and success!

My duaa…my refuge…
Sometimes
I ask you for something…but you do not give me! So I say, no doubt that was not
good for me…I praise you and make sabr…my heart expands and I feel content
Sometimes
I am in a rush to get something at that precise moment! You stop me and tell me
wait, now is not the right time! I smile…I slow the pace…I take a deep breath…my
heart expands and I feel content
Sometimes
I want a friend and a friend is not there, so I realise that maybe you want me
to talk to you…so I turn to you and you give me full attention…my heart expands
and I feel content
Sometimes
I see no way out…but the heart has become so expanded, subhanal Allah…that I have
the full confidence that you are not going to let me down…because I know that I
cannot be a true believer until my trust in You is stronger than that which I
have in the palm of my hand…my heart expands further and all my prayers are
answered…

Anger
breaks just like the glass! Subhanal Allah
Can you mend a broken glass???
Patience
builds…babies are born after nine months of carrying by a beloved mother,
Subhanal
Allah…this load gets heavier by day up till that moment of delivery when the
cry and laughter cannot be distinguished. Subhanal Allah.
There
is pain but there is joy and this joy is only possible because of nine months of
patience and hope by a beloved mother. Subhanal Allah.
This
is patience!
When
that feeling of unfairness, pain and hurt wants you to break the glass, to
utter the forbidden word, the word of displeasure of Allah subhana wa t’Ala… at
that time stop!
At
that time that word is like a stone that potentially is going to break the
glass... even more than that…is going to break that especial muscle in your
body, the heart!
You
cannot do that!
You
stop...you swallow that anger because your Rabb loves those who make sabr, your
Rabb loves those who do good (the Muhseneen) but the key of acceptance is to
restrain that action for the sake of Allah and then even harder than that is to
forget, to let it go from your heart...Subhanal Allah.
This
is the highest darajah, the highest rank...subhanal Allah this is the darajah
of Yusuf AS...can you get there?

Wisdom
Doing
dawah, inviting for good and for avoidance of evil requires wisdom. How do I
get wisdom, I have realised that wisdom is a gift of Allah SWT and He gives to
whom He wills. No doubt, Al Qur'an is a source of Wisdom because Rabbana is Al
Hakeem, All Wise and His Qur'an is also Hakeem as it is described in the
Qur'an.
I have learnt that I have moments of wisdom
and then I have also moments of ignorance. Moments of wisdom are the moments
when I acted exactly as Rabbana wanted me to act and moments of ignorance were
those when either I allowed my lower self to take the best of me or the shaytan
rushed in to spoil the matter.
As
soon as we realise that we acted in haste, in ignorance, then we have to turn
to Allah and ask Him to cover us with His forgiveness and Mercy. If we do that,
then no doubt that is the moment of Light from Allah and with Light comes
wisdom.

From darkness into light
I
enter into my room, it is dark, pitch dark!
I desperately search for my heart, cannot find it!
I
desperately look for my feelings, cannot feel!
I
hit the wall and then I say where my intellect is?
My
search continues…
I
look for my limbs…they have become numb!!!
Subhanal
Allah, what’s happening?
Am
I dead?
Is
this my grave?
No,No,No…I
scream…I wake up!
It
was dark, a nightmare!!!
No,
it was an opening, a wakeup call, light…light…
I
woke up, it was the early hours before dawn…
I
washed my hands, I washed my face, my arms, I passed water over my head, I
washed my feet and I turned myself to my Allah…
I
recited Surah Fateha, the first chapter of the Qur’an, The opening…
I
went on and recited verse 35 of Surah Al Noor…and the message was clear…
(35.
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as
a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a
star Durriyyun, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of
the west, whose oil would almost glow forth, though no fire touched it. Light
upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth
parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything.)
Subhanal
Allah….that was my Rabb calling me…
I
read again and again ayah 35, Surah Al Noor...
That was not my grave; that was my dark world!
Everything
became clear…as I finished the prayer…I understood my nightmare, my dream, yes,
it was a blessed dream, it showed me my reality on my sleep!
That
was my Allah’s wake up call for me, the dark room was my dunya…
I
was a lost soul without any direction and my Rabb called me and His message was clear…time
will not stop but I have to leave the dark room and move into the light! Subhanal Allah, it was clear, clear as light!
And light was my prayer in those early hours before dawn; light was the recital of the Qur’an during those blessed hours; light was the recital of ayah 35 of Surah Al Noor; Light was real because it was from Allah, Al Noor as –samawat wal-ard; The Light of the Heavens and the Earth.

The
light cannot be complete...because there are shadows of doubts, there are sins
that need repenting, there is darkness that needs to be illuminated, Subhanal

But Allah's Mercy overpowers His Wrath, so to Allah I turn for Mercy so that He can forgive and release me from all shadows of doubts and darkness...the response of Allah, Ar Rahman is swift...
Mercy of Allah flies quicker than the speed of light and Rabb al alameen is going to raise you from the depths of the earth to the heights of the heavens.
That
is your Allah, Subhana wa t'Ala.
The
turning of the destiny is as fast as His decreeing “qoon, fayaqoon”, Be and it

as a bird!
As
I wonder in the sands of this world...I look at the skies and I see a world of
Birds and I wonder why they are so free...how can they fly?
I
try to open my hands and imitate the birds...but Subhanal Allah...it does not
work!
Then
I realise...they are able to fly because they are so light...mash Allah...they
have put aside all their worries...they have emptied their hearts from all
heaviness resulting from worries and sicknesses of the heart by the will and
with the help of Allah subhana wa t'ala .
They
have entrusted their affairs to Allah subhana wa t'ala.
Did
you get it???
That
is the trick...become light by submitting to the will of Allah, by realising
that you were not created to solve your problems but you were created to submit
to Al Khaleq, your Creator, Who will
solve your problems. You have to accept your NOW, why worry...why suffer???
Forget your past...and let the future happen when it is going to happen!

Where
do I turn to?
So
much to do, so many dreams to reach for, where do I turn to?
Left,
right, centre? Or shall I just stop, not move?
If
the way is becoming too scattered, you are becoming too tired...then
stop...pause...ask yourself....why am I doing it? For whose sake, in whose
name?
If
the answer is just for the sake of it, then stop turn back...
If
the answer is for fame...then stop....fame for what? Fame to be said how
great you are but you are not great at all! Subhanal Allah, Allahu Akbar
(Allah is The Most Great)! Who are you competing with; oh you drop of
despicable fluid!
If
the answer is like the one that Musa, Peace be upon him, gave to Allah,
Subhana wa t'Ala (Surah Taha, ayah 83- 84) then yes you are in the right track...
وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ
عَن قَومِكَ يمُوسَى
83-
"And what made you hasten from your people, O Musa
قَالَ هُمْ أُوْلاءِ عَلَى أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ
إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى
84-
He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord,
that You be pleased."
…Beidhnil
Allah ( with Allah’s permission) you should continue…
Now,
you do not need to be scattered , all the roads have met...There is only one
way...you have become slave of one Master only...you have set yourself free from
all other bondage...you have become free like a bird...now just say bismil
Allah tawkaltu alal Allah ( in the Name of Allah, I put my trust in Allah)
and open your wings...Subhanal Allah...no one can stop you...you are
free...lailaha illal Allah.
Alhamdulil
Allah Rabb al alameen.

Which colour do you want to wear?
Sometimes
we expect a lot from others, we forget that they have the right to think for
themselves and take their decisions on the basis of what seems right for them…Subhanal
Allah
We
think that only our way is the right one and hence we misjudge them, we put a
label upon them…because their reasoning does not fit with our thinking…but hold
on!
Alhamdulil
Allah, Allah SWT created this world with different colours but all of them sing
the same song: lailaha illal Allah, no one is worthy is worship except Allah
Subhana wa T’ala.
So
be ready to look at different colours in life: the night is black, the clouds
are white; the sky is blue, the grass is green and sometimes brown; rain is rain
with its beautiful transparent colour while the sun assumes beautiful shades of
yellow/orange/red depending on the time of the day; the mountains are brown;
you and me are colourful…Subhanal Allah…
No!
You do not have the right to ask for one colour for the creation! Allah has not
willed that for His creation! Had He wished that, you would not see the diversity
in the creation that you witness every moment of your life…Subhanal Allah…
But
there is one thing that Allah Subhana wa t’ Ala expects you to be "unicolour" and
united in, that is sibghatul Allah (colour of Allah)…Allah Subhana wa t’ala
wants us to wear His colour and His colour is Islam and Islam is submission to
One and Only ilah (God), Lai ilaaha illal Allah.
But
hold on! For us to submit to Al Khaleq, our Creator we need to follow our
teacher, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him-PBUH)
to whom Allah Subhana wa t’Ala revealed the Qur’an for us…
And
here comes the story together, despite all the different colours of the
creation, we are supposed to adorn us both in appearance and essence with ONE
colour and that is sibghatul Allah…Lailaha illal Allah Muhammadur Rasul alal
Allah. (There is no one worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is
the messenger of Allah Subhana wa t’Ala).
Alhamdulil
Allah Rabb al alameen
Peace
ad blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet, his family, companions and

Climbing the mountain
...you are tired of climbing the mountain...you cannot wait to reach the peak...you are looking for friendly faces to tell you… keep moving!...but they are not there!...no, they are not there!...at that time do not dare to forget...that Allah is very, very close...closer than your jugular vein!...He knows exactly what you are going through; you are looking for that friendly face to have that sweet chat...that friendly face is not there...but hold on...your Walyyi, Your Guardian and Closest Friend, Protector is so happy to hear from you...just talk to Him,...He knows your silent prayer...Open His Book...and He will directly talk to you...open the prayer mat...you talk to Him...and just watch how your lonely heart will become a heart full of joy...because a heart that connects with His Rabb is a heart that has found tranquillity and a joy that rests in the most solid of foundations...trust in Allah, Al Wakil, The Disposer of affairs and Al Fattah, The Opener...of all the closed doors...then...you will not look for that friendly face...because you will have found the companionship of Allah and you will smile and say Alhamdulil Allah.
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen.

Fragrance of Jannah
I
love beautiful fragrances...but I am limited to use them in this dunya...as my
Rabb has asked me to use them only in my kingdom...and my kingdom in this dunya
is my home...I love the sea and the sand and the sky and the birds...I love
these creations and surroundings designed and created by Rabbana,
Al Khaleek (The all Creator) and Badi as samwat wal ard (The Orginator of the
Heavens and the earth).,.they make me closer to my Rabb...I feel
connected...connected with obedient creation of Allah and I feel that Allah's
horizon and mercy is so vast...that I am protected...so what fragrance can I
use???...that is lawful, beneficial and makes me free???...I found it...found
it...found it!...not in the malls of this dunya but in the gardens of
paradise...I found it Alhamdulil Allah...the fragrance of "Tawheed"
in a "bottle" of Ikhlaas....what is Tawheed???...realising that
nothing can be achieved by myself without Allah willing first...I am helpless
without Rabbie..and the bottle of Ikhlaas will not break only if every time I use it, I do it only for the
sake of Allah SWT, to please Subhana wa t' Ala (The Most Glorious and The Most
High)....How can I achieve this Tawheed with Ikhlaas?...From kalamul Allah,
knowing Who is My Creator...His Most Beautiful Names and Attributes...then I
will have an everlasting fragrance in my heart, I will be fulfilling the
purpose of my life, to worship Allah...to surrender to Allah Subhana wa T'ala... Subhanal Allah wa Behamdehi.Fragrance of Jannah
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen

Spouse of Jannah
You
are my spouse of Jannah!
Your
fragrance I could smell in dunya even before I met you!
You
are from Jannah and with you I want to go to Jannah, ya Rabb
Your
fragrance is fresh...like the green grass Whenever I see you, I feel my love
for you increases...
When
I see you, I ask myself what did I do to deserve a spouse of Jannah???
I
get the response....Allah, Ar Rahman's Mercy is vast...He knows, you do not
know...
Is
not your deeds, it is your silent duaa, it is your call to Rabb for the
fragrant companion...
So
I surrender and I say Alhamdulil Allah for such a fragrant spouse...Subhanal
Allah
When
you come to me in search for console, an attentive year, a shoulder to lean
on...I smile...and I listen to you with all my attention directed to you...at
that moment ...time has stopped...it is only you and me...this reminds me of
the love and the companionship of the Prophet SAW and Khadija RA...
When
I am with you...I forget...I let myself be myself...I smile...and you
joke...and it reminds me of the love of the Prophet SAW for Aisha RA...
As
I wake you up for the prayer...a couple of drops of sweet rose water......make
you smile...not angry...
I
ask myself what I have done to deserve such a companion...
As
we pray together...I realise your darajah...and I ask Allah to make me an
obedient wife...
I
do not know your duaa...but when you come home...I see you face shine when you
look at me...I see all my tiredness fade away...
I
feel that the time has stopped...it is a new beginning...our love has once more
been blessed by Allah, Al Wadood.
You
look at me...you smile and you say Allahmdulil Allah...I respond Subhanal
Allahi wa Behamdehi...
When
we are together, the breeze is filled with tranquillity and peace, there
are no words, there is only affection...sweet looks...and children play
around...this peace surrounds them too...they feel the impact of the love of
the parents...
But
this love is much more than common love...there is desire, but there is soul
also...there is respect...there is understanding...no voice is ever
raised...few words and silence do the talk most of the time...
As
we pray together...you finish the prayer and make the most beautiful duaa...
Rabbana,
Hablana min azwajena wa dhurreayatena, kurrata ayuneen Vaj'alna lil mutaqueena
imama.
I
found the answer...why you are the zauje of jannah and why our household is a
household of Jannah, Ya Rabb al alameen
Alhamdulil
Allah Rabb al alameen

Friday, My Duaa
…sometimes
the heart gets overwhelmed...and the words come out...like water flowing from a
beautiful fountain...Subhanal Allah...duaa is very special...I love to ask
Allah SWT, it is a very special relationship...with people your upper hand is
better than lower...Alhamdulil Allah, May Allah, Al Ghani give us ghinaa. With
Allah, Al Wahab the story is different... the lower hand is better than the
upper hand! Subhanal Allah...so today is Friday and we know that there is an
hour of acceptance, beidhnil Allah...so what am I going to ask my Rabb ???I do
not know where to start, the heart is feeling overwhelmed...so I ask Allah for
the eman and ehsan of the Prophet SAW; I ask Rabbana, Ar Razaq, Al Wahab, Al
Haqq for the success, for the beneficial wealth, for the generosity and for the
truthfulness of Abu Bakar Siddique RA; I want more; I ask for the good
character of Khadija RA, to whom even Allah SWT and Gibreel AS sent salam,
Subhanal Allah; I ask for the love, innocence and love for the knowledge of Aisha
RA; I want more, I ask for the sabr jameel of Yaqoub AS; that's not enough...I
want more, I ask for the shukr of Nuh AS, whom Allah called in Qur'an abdan
shakura; not over yet, I ask for the strength and determination of Omar RA;
what is left...much more...but one more and that's it! Ya Rabb al alameen I beg
you for the submission and tawaqul of Ebrahim AS. Ameen ya Rabb al alameen.
Alhamdulil
Allah Rabb al alameen, Peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet SAW,

TIME,
a gift from Al Hayy, Al Qayyum (The Ever-Living, The Self Subsisting, The Sustainer
of all)
Time,
what is time? Do we realise the importance of time?
No,
surely we do not! we do not only take today for granted but also tomorrow
and the week after, and the year after…
We
forget that this precise breath that we are taking might be the last one!
Subhanal Allah (Glory be to Allah, Who is free from all imperfections).
But
the aim of my message is no to make us despair!
The
aim is to remind us that the only thing that we have in our hands is the
time…time to realise that there is Allah, Who is the Creator and Disposer of
all our affairs.
Whatever
we have wasted of time is gone, gone, gone forever! So no point being sorry
about it!
What
counts is now!
I
myself struggle to make the best use of time. At this precise moment there is
one simple truth that gives me the stamina to continue.
That
I have a Rabb (Lord) Who is taking care of my affairs, Who knows my strengths
and weaknesses...who knows my joys and my sadness and pains… I only need
to turn to Him, to ask for guidance, for light, for making sure I take the
right decision in every step of my life.
I
love this prayer that we Muslims say in the morning and evening and this gives
me the hope that every step that I take is going to be a blessed one because I
am not relying on my imperfect intelligence and knowledge, but I am relying on
my Rabb (Lord), Who is Alim (The All Knowing), Al Hakim (The All Wise), Al
Lateeful Khabeer ((The Subtly Kind, The All Aware):
"يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ أَصْلِحْ
لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ".
Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoomu birahmatika
'astagheethu 'aslih lee sha'nee kullahu wa laa takilnee 'ilaa nafsee tarfata
'aynin.
O
Ever Living One, O Eternal One, by Your mercy I call on You to set right all my
affairs. Do not place me in charge of my soul even for the blinking of an eye
(i.e. a moment).

its chain of transmission is sound (Sahih), Al-Hakim 1/545, see Albani,
Sahihut-Targhib wat-Tarhib, 1/273.

"ABDAL ALLAH"
I am not "me", I am not "I", I am what my Malik, my Rabb wants me to be... I wake up in the morning praising Rabbie for another chance...
I do not look at the glass mirror on my wall but I look at azujaja in my heart...
Shining it day and night is my job...
Istigfar is the "cleaner" that I use and
for polish I use Kalamul Allah...
Living for myself I do not know what it is!
What I know is my Lord will help me as long as I am
at the service of his/her abdal Allah...
Best of the character I pray to become, the
character of the Prophet SAW...
Sidq of Abu Bakr I aspire to in my heart,
tongue and deed...
Beautiful apparel does not say much to me as Taqwa
has become my libaas..
I am a traveller, world is not mine, I am not
world's...
I am from paradise, that's where I belong...
To my Rabb, Allah is the return
Al Jameel I want to see...
Real beauty I aspire to, beauty from Allah Al
Noor's Light…
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen.

"WE ARE ONE"
I beg Allah, my Rabb to make my entry a sound, a truthful entry.
I dream and I dream.
I say I want to be happy...I stop!
I say In shaa Allah I want to be happy...NO, it is not strong enough!
I say Rabbana make all seekers of Knowledge happy in dunya and akhirah. I found the answer, my prayer has been accepted.
Allah's promise is True because Allah is Al Haque ( The Truth) and his messenger, the Prophet Muhammad SAW said the truth:
In Saheeh Muslim and Sunan Ibn Majah, it is narrated from Abu Darda that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said, 'The Dua of a person for his Muslim brother in his absence will be answered. At his head there is an angel, and every time he prays for him for something good, the angel who has been appointed to be with him, says, 'Ameen, may you have likewise.
My sister, your quest for happiness is my quest for happiness
Your smile is my joy,..
Your cry is my pain...
We are not separated
We cannot be divided
Our origin is one
We are one...
We are the ummah of the Muhammad SAW
Alhamdulil Allah Rabb al alameen.
Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions and his followers.
