Todays Reflection [Ayah 6 Surah Al-Fatiha]

                Ω±Ω‡Ω’Ψ―ΩΩ†ΩŽΨ§ Ω±Ω„Ψ΅Ω‘ΩΨ±ΩŽΩ°Ψ·ΩŽ ٱلْمُسْΨͺΩŽΩ‚ΩΩŠΩ…ΩŽ
Is guidance in our hands? Is guidance granted simply by fate? What does it mean that guidance is only from Allah?What do we, the servants of Allah need to do to be amongst the guided ones?

Allah Allmighty decreed stones to be lifeless and plants to be given life only halfway, whilst animals get to enjoy life with no intellect when compared to us humans who have been created with such beauty and honoured and blessed with a mind, conscience , body and soul, making us rank the top amongst the creatures of the Earth.
   
Allah made some commands and put some prohibitions in front of him.He gave man the free will to abide by these orders and prohibitions - Why? Allah wished to give us (his obedient servants) higher degrees than angels and also grant us eternal bliss. So seek  the guidance as only from our Rabb,  so we can lead straight to jannah without any deviations. And remember we are not asking guidance only for us but when we say ihdinaa it means we are making dua for every one around us, our family, our friends and all of the muslim ummah.SubhanAllah how beautiful is our religion.

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...

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 ...

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...
