MESSAGE OF DAY

“And on that Day, you will most surely be questioned as to all the favours (bestowed on you).” (102:8)

The flames of Hellfire are set alight with the evil states and character traits of human beings, while the gardens of Paradise blossom with the noble qualities and conduct of human beings. Imam Shafi’i

There is a polish for everything that removes the rust; the polish for the heart is remembrance of Allah. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

‘Ali, may Allah be well-pleased with him, states: “Whosoever sends one hundred blessings and salutations to our Prophet on Fridays, they appear on the Day of Judgement with a beautiful and luminous countenance and people ask one another in envy, “What was the deed that this person performed?”

How excellent is the hadith of the Prophet when he said: “None of you becomes true Muslim unless he desires for his fellow Muslim what he desires for himself!” Al-Bukhari, Imaan 7, Hadith no: 12.

The measure of true richness is not abundance of wealth and an inflated wallet, but is contentment and spending from the heart.

True believers never overlook the following reality: “There is reckoning for the religiously permissible and punishment for the prohibited.”

The highest prices are paid for the sake of love. The degree to which we love something is measured with our level of sacrifice and the risks we take in its cause.

“Lovers have heartaches that can’t be cured by drugs, or sleep, or games, but only by seeing their Beloved.” Mawlana Jalaladdin  Rumi

Abu Hāzim said: “I found the whole world in two things: the first is my sustenance and the second is the sustenance of another person. My sustenance will catch me even if I rode the wind and flew away. And if I tried to take someone else’s sustenance, even if I rode the wind after it, I would never be able to catch it.”

If you see something you do not like in your brother try to find excuses for him, from one to seventy. If you cannot find an excuse, say, ‘There might be an excuse, but I don’t know it.’ Jafar As-Sadiq

True talent and health is knowing how to be patient in prosperity.

Even if you were to become like a bow from performing the prayer and like a nail from fasting, Allah will not accept that worship so long as you do not avoid the prohibited as well as doubtful things.

Ibn Ata said concerning obedience to the rules of etiquette: “Whoever adopts the etiquette of the people of pure heart, his carpet is the carpet of blessings. Whoever adopts the etiquette of the friends of Allah, his carpet is a carpet reflecting the spiritual states of friendship with Allah. Whoever adopts the etiquette of the prophets, his carpet is the carpet of intimacy with Allah. And, whoever is barren of good etiquette, he is deprived of all good things.”

True contemplation begins at the point of intersection of reason inspired by revelation and a  spiritually refined heart.
