MESSAGE OF DAY

Fasting must be observed for the sake of Allah. The entire reward of a fast that is undertaken merely for the purpose of such material objections as resting the stomach or losing weight, will be lost.

Piety and righteousness is the door of nearness to Allah. One must never leave this door, so as to lead a life with peace of mind and heart, without being swept up in the tides of life.

Junayd al-Baghdadi states: “Thankfulness is that you should not be disobedient through whatever bounties Allah Almighty has blessed you with, and that you should not render these bounties a source of disobedience.”

One who feels compassion is generous, is humble, is a person of service and possesses conscience.

One who feels compassion is generous, is humble, is a person of service and possesses conscience.

Being able to feel compassion is a Divine grace, for feeling compassion is the product of mercy.

Sins are the veils intervening between the servant and their Lord.

While using one’s life and wealth generously in the way of Allah brings the servant close to Allah, using these purely for the carnal self pulls a person away from Him.

Happy Hijri new Year all muslims around the world

Shaykh Sa’di states: “A liberal person who eats and bestows is better than a worshipper who performs the supererogatory fast and withholds from others.”

The servant cannot attain true belief and the true path without raising their love for Allah above their love for all other than Him.

We must never forget our Lord, for a heart that is with Allah is not deceived by fleeting mirages. No one can pierce a heart invoking the name of Allah.

Shaykh Sa’di states: “It is better to be an ignorant poor fellow then a learned man who is not abstemious; Because the former loses the way by his blindness, while the latter falls into a well with both eyes open.”

Abu Musa, may Allah be well pleased with him, had asked: “Messenger of Allah, whose Islam is best?” He said, “The one from whose tongue and hands the Muslims are safe.” (Bukhari, Iman, 4, 5, Riqaq 26; Muslim, Iman 64, 65)

It is essential that we overcome Satan, our greatest enemy in the worldly trial, at each and every moment with our deeds of righteousness.
