Todays Reflection - [Ayah 5 Surah Al Fatiha ]

Ψ₯ΩΩŠΩ‘ΩŽΨ§ΩƒΩŽ Ω†ΩŽΨΉΩ’Ψ¨ΩΨ―Ω وَΨ₯ΩΩŠΩ‘ΩŽΨ§ΩƒΩŽ Ω†ΩŽΨ³Ω’ΨͺΩŽΨΉΩΩŠΩ†Ω


You alone do we worship and to you alone do we turn for help

This ayah is so deep in meaning SubhanAllah and even a beginner in Islam can relate to this ayah very frequently. It is declaring the foundation of Islam (monotheism) where we do not worship or associate any partner with Allah. We only fear and hope from him. Our reliance is completely and solely on Allah alone. We seek only his pleasure when we do something and that turns into Ibadah (worship). Relying on Allah firmly is an act of worship in itself. Although it is easier said than done especially during times of difficulties, we need to again turn to Him if we find it difficult to have patience and rely on him. May Allah(SWT) grant us that strength and steadfastness to rely only upon him and not lose hope. Ask him for your guidance, forgiveness, mercy, health, sustenance and the best of gifts, Jannah.


Everyone who asks Him will be granted. Knock on Allahs door constantly as he loves those who ask him always. Allah is shy to turn his slave away empty handed when he asks ( Tirmidhi), hence beg of him alone as dua is the weapon of a believer. He is Ar Razaq (The provider) and Al Wahhab(The bestower). As a believer we believe that whatever condition we are in is a manifestation of Allah's will and He only wills that which is beneficial for us. Seeking his help and making dua for everything in the aakhirah (afterlife) and Dunya (worldly) is a part of the sunnah and it has been said in a hadith narrated in Tirmidhi that "Dua can change destiny". We ask Allah to grant us with the best of the Dunya and the hereafter. Ameen

If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)

  Ω„ΩŽΨ¦ΩΩ† Ψ΄ΩŽΩƒΩŽΨ±Ψͺُم Ω„ΩŽΨ£ΩŽΨ²ΩŠΨ―ΩŽΩ†Ω‘ΩŽΩƒΩΩ… If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)   SubhanAllah such a beautiful ayah. In our day to day life, usually what happens when we do some one a favor, we expect them to thank us and appreciate us but when it comes to the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us we seldom thank Allah. Allah blesses us abundantly and when we thank him sincerely for even a few of his blessing , he increases it ( gives us barakah) in it. How amazing is that? If you want barakah in any thing at all, just thank Allah constantly. Expecting appreciation and gratefulness  from people will only lead us to depression and ill feeling towards others. This is one of the biggest test for us, Allah test every human being by blessing him as He mentions in this ayah(27: 40) β€œβ€¦This is by the grace of my Lord! – to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ...

He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.

  He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother. (Bukhari & Muslim) This, very simple Hadith, has so much weight. Pleasing our parents does not only bring happiness to us in this duniya but also gives us great rewards in the aakhira. Pleasing parents requires constant hard work just as our parents worked hard day and night to raise us. These days we love our personal space so much that we get upset when our parents demand some time of ours or some help from us and we get irritated if this happens often. Just imagine how much time we took from their life? And now when it is time to repay a little we move back. Such is our generation. Our parents were our way to this duniya and our way to jannah. Give them attention, time, respect them, be kind to them, make them happy ,do the things they like together (even if it is drinking morning tea with them ) it means a lot to them. Make a schedule and take out some time for them even if you are far a...

Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: β€œThe Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: β€œ Part of the perfection of a person’s Islam is his leaving that which is of no concern to him ” A hasan hadith. Recorded by at-Tirmidhi and others in that fashion. This hadith nurtures a person to have proper manners and etiquettes especially when it comes to other people's affairs. Personal and private matters of our muslim brothers and sisters is not our concern unless and until a person is found committing a sin upon which it becomes incumbent upon us as a muslim to correct that person in a gentle and polite way or if the opposite person asks us for advise then it becomes his right that we guide him according to the Quran and Sunnah. But otherwise we meddle in other people's affairs for no reason. We ask a couple about when they are going to have a baby. We interfere into private lives when they never asked us to. We advise when...
