MESSAGE OF DAY

We are as wealthy as our hearts are generous and merciful and are as poor as our hearts are miserly and merciless.

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)

Prophet (s.a.s) says: “I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day.” (See Abu Dawud, Witr, 26; Ibn Hanbal, Musnad, II, 450)

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.”

Allah will make happy one who makes others happy for His sake.

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.

Shaykh Sa’di says: “All that possesses eye, ear and mouth is not Adam. Many satans there are who appear in the form of the children of Adam. The true Adam is the person with good character. Beauty in countenance and other adornments resemble the fleeting embroideries in the world.”

Serving one’s relatives is by observing the ties of kinship and treating them with kindness.

May Allah Bless our Aid al-Adha Mubarak for all muslims around the World.

‘Allah has created the sheep, has sent the water for it from the sky, and has grown from the earth for it to eat; and yet you slaughter it in the name of another than Allah.’”. (Bukhârî, Manâqıbu’l-Ansâr, 24; Dhabâih, 16)

A life not illuminated with contemplation of death is no different to a dark night of tribulation.

‘Abd Allah ibn Munazil, may his secret be sanctified, says: “Propriety in service is mightier than the service itself.”

Imam Shafi’i states: “You cannot please all the people. See to improving your relations with Allah. Once you have done so, pay no mind to the heedless.”

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.”

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.
