“Take advantage of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you become occupied, and your life before your death.”

To Allah we belong and to Allah we return. Our reality is what is in this picture. Nothing will help us down there except our deeds. Certainly a wake up call. Strange but true, we ignore the most certain thing which is definitely coming for every person - Death!

“KULLU NAFSIN ZAIQATUL MAUT”

May Allah have mercy on us and lighten our graves with the light of Jannah!

Allahuma Ameen..

The door of success has been closed.

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:04:32 -0500

Shaqeeq Ibn Ibraheem said:

“The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things:
Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allaah instead of thanking Allaah for them,
their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,
the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,
the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,
the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,and
the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it.”

THINK ABOUT IT. MAKE SENSE.

The Most Foolish Ones.

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:35:00 -0500

A boy said to his father: “I saw a girl and I want to marry her. She is very beautiful and has gorgeous eyes.

The father answered his son: Of course son, let’s ask for her hand in marriage.” When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son: “You don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on, someone like me.”……

The boy was surprised by the attitude of his father and he told him : “She will marry me, not you”. They started to fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem.

When they told their story to the police officer, he told them:”Bring the girl, so we can ask her about her opinion about this. ” When the officer saw the beauty of the girl, he said to the boy and his father:”You both don’t deserve her, she needs someone who has prestige like me.” The three men started a fight and decided to go to the minister to solve their problem.

When the minister saw the girl, he said: “She deserves to be married with a minister like me”.

The prince heard about their problem and calls them all to help them solve it but when he saw the girl he said: “This girl will marry me”. All the five men started to fight.

Finally, the girl said “I have the solution! I will start to run and whoever catches me first, he will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister and the prince started to run to catch her. Suddenly all the five men fell into a deep hole.

The girl looked to them from the top and she said “Did you know who I am?” I am the Dunya /THE LIFE!! People want to run after me, they are racing to have me. By doing that, they forget their hereafter life.Surely, those who chase me to have me are the most foolish ones.

O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah.(Quran# 31:33)

Dear Heart,

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:09:42 -0500

God’s favor comes unexpectedly, but only to an alert heart.Put not your hope in people, for you will be wounded.Put your hope in God, so that you may be delivered.

Dear Heart,

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:08:38 -0500

If u don’t have the strength, don’t wear the cloth of love,
For if you do, then don’t moan about the disaster.
The cloth will eventually burn, and you ‘ll have to bear the pain in silence.
What’s venom now will be the juice of life hereafter.

Dear Heart,

If you sit amongst thorns and don’t choose to pick flowers all day from the garden, then what can I do?
His face lights the whole world, but if you can’t see it and enlighten yourself, then what can I do?

Cleanliness is from Faith.

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:05:31 -0500

Cleanliness does not last, that’s why we brush our teeth and take shower everyday. The same goes for our hearts, we have to pray, remember Allah, recite the Quran and repent to Allah on a regular basis.

The heart is the part of the body, which Allah has favored over all other parts. It is the place of Iman, the place by which the correctness of deeds is judged. So there is no other faculty in the human body and existence that a believer should more concerned about. Woe to those whose hearts hear the Qur’an and they do not become fearful and humbled as a result of it.~Dr.Bilal

We all commit sins. That is certain. But the choice is in us- should we follow the footsteps of the one who repented and became a prophet, or follow the one who refused…and became forever cursed?

-by Mufti Ismail Menk

We are taught that as the days, weeks, months and years pass we are in fact drawing closer to meeting our Maker. So rather than party through the night, sin and become unmindful of the fact that we are losing time as the clock ticks, we should be preparing for the day we shall leave the world for good. All the glitter and glamour, beauty and wealth of this world shall be left behind as well as our loved ones. Every minute brings us closer to this reality. Those who become unmindful of this and choose to rebel or transgress have none other than themselves to blame. An intelligent person prepares for that day by developing the best possible link with His Maker, being kind to fellow human beings and improving in every way as the days pass. Let us not forget that life is but a test for the believers. The eternal bliss is yet to come! May the Almighty grant us success, make us an asset to those we interact with, pardon us & grant us the loftiest ranks of paradise without reckoning. Aameen

An Atheist v/s An Imam

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:36:00 -0500

Atheist: Can your Lord fit the entire universe into an egg without making the egg any bigger and the universe any smaller?

Imam Jafar As-Sadiq: I would like you to look at the sky, and at that bird in the sky, and at that tree, and at all those people who have gathered around us and now look at me.

Atheist: I see them all.

Imam Jafar As-Sadiq: If Allah can fit all of those things inside the tiny pupil of your eye, do you think that he cannot fit the universe into an egg?

Beauty of sacrifice.

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:30:00 -0500

Many years ago, Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) made a choice. He loved his son. But His love for Almighty Allah(swt) was even more. The commandment came to sacrifice his son, but it wasn’t his son that was slaughtered. It was his attachment. It was his attachment to anything that could compete with his love for God.

And the beauty of such a sacrifice is this: Once you let go off your attachment, what you love will be given back to you—now in a purer and better form.

So let us ask ourselves in these beautiful days of sacrifice, which attachments should we need to slaughter?
