MESSAGE OF DAY

A believer is the person who possesses as sensitive a conscience and as altruistic a spirit as to hold themselves responsible for all the people within their reach, and even for the state and trajectory of their age.

The important thing is to be of a rose’s disposition: to be able to diffuse beauty to the world and heal wounded hearts, even when on top of thorns.

The greatest sign of a heart filled with love of Allah is treating the servants of Allah with forgiveness and compassion.

Abu Bakr, may Allah be well pleased with him, says, “Conceal not your state from those who seek to show you the way, otherwise you will deceive none other than yourself.”

Even his enemies were unable to deny the truthful and trustworthy character of the Messenger of Allah. One who does not possess such characteristics cannot be spokespeople for the truth.

The time before dawn is the time to wake up the heart. For those whose nights pass by in darkness, there is no light during the day either.

Even his enemies were unable to deny the truthful and trustworthy character of the Messenger of Allah. One who does not possess such characteristics cannot be spokes people for the truth.

The religiously permissible is Divine, while the unlawful is diabolical. In the lawful is the effusive grace and blessing of Allah Almighty, while the unlawful contains the unfruitfulness and inauspiciousness of Satan.

Mawlana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi says: “Entreat God and turn to Him in repentance with a heart filled with the fire of remorse and with eyes filled with tears.  For flowers bloom in places sunlit and moist.”

Just as there is a door to every heart, there is surely a door at which every heart can attain maturity and find repose. What falls to the servant is to render these two doors one.

The religiously permissible is Divine, while the unlawful is diabolical. In the lawful is the effusive grace and blessing of Allah Almighty, while the unlawful contains the unfruitfulness and inauspiciousness of Satan.

Sufyan al-Thawri says, “A person’s religiosity is proportional to the religious lawfulness of their morsel.”

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, says, “Put your spirits to rest with thought-provoking words of wisdom, for spirits weary just as bodies do.”

Let us take care not to mix the unlawful into our earnings, and to eat of the lawful. The lawful provides the servant with vigour, while unlawful and doubtful morsels give heedlessness.

‘Uthman, may Allah be well pleased with him, says, “Do whatever deeds of righteousness you can before death strikes.”
