MESSAGE OF DAY

Do not think about how small the sin is, but think about who you have just disobeyed. Bilal bin Sa’d

The true owner of forgiveness is Allah. The people can forgive only commensurate to the love of Allah in their hearts.

Death is a door; behind it is a birth to eternity. Just as you see the sun to set, contemplate its rebirth also.

The most important task falling to a believer is to display in their own person the elevated character acquired from the practice of Allah’s Messenger.

Shaykh Sa’di states: “Who brings the faults of another to you and enumerates them will undoubtedly carry your faults to others.”

‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: “Putting someone under obligation (for an act of kindness) destroys goodness, exaggeration extinguishes truth, and breaking one’s word draws the anger of the Creator and the created.”

Imam Shafi’i states: “The affinity of the people of the world is enough to debilitate a man of sound health.”

May our God protect us all from such heedlessness.

The worst thing is for a person to seek refuge in Allah’s attributes the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate, and the All-Forgiving, when they themselves are not on the path of Allah.

The true jewel, which makes a person human, is good character.

One who belittles their fellow believer actually belittles themselves in the eyes of God. Thus, a believer must never look down on another.

When disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return. (Baqarah, 156)

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) has said: “I am the result of the prayer of my father Ibrahîm, the good tidings of my brother Jesus, and the dream of my mother Amina”  (Ahmad, V, 262; Hakim, II, 453.)

Shaykh Sa’di states: “A miserly person accumulates riches in difficulty, hides it in avarice and departs from it in longing.”

Shaykh Sa’di states: “Each of you who are bearers of your own faults ought not to blame others for their shortcomings.”
