MESSAGE OF DAY

It is easy to spend in the way of Allah in affluence. For this does not strain the carnal self. That which is difficult is to be generous in times of need. To be able to give from those things that we love in times of prosperity.

Belief arises from affirmation of the Divinely-revealed truths with the heart and declaration with the tongue. Belief is acceptance in advance, not with the mind but with the heart.

18 November 2017
Miserliness is taking refuge in one’s wealth instead of taking refuge in Allah Almighty. It amounts, at a certain point, to one’s idolising their wealth and possessions. While it is Allah Almighty Who bestows that wealth.

Let us offer our Prayer in the consciousness that Allah sees us though we do not see Him, that our Prayer be for us an Ascension.
