Golden Words!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu,

I really love this hadeeth:

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah, the Almighty, says: `Whosoever does a good deed, will have (reward) ten times like it and I add more; and whosoever does an evil, will have the punishment like it or I will forgive (him); and whosoever approaches Me by one span, I will approach him by one cubit; and whosoever approaches Me by one cubit, I approach him by one fathom, and whosoever comes to Me walking, I go to him running; and whosoever meets Me with an earth-load of sins without associating anything with Me, I meet him with forgiveness like that". [Muslim]

Other words of wisdom:

Tears shed for Allah t3ala are priceless. They wash sins just like water clears dust! A tear that is not for the sake of Allah t3ala will dry out, but a tear shed while seeking Alla t3ala's forgiveness and love, will purify the soul and attain inner peace. May Allah t3ala make our tears a means of paradise, and may he dry them with his mercy for indeed Allah t3ala is the most merciful!

A blessing that is enjoyed with gratitude never ends, and a blessing that is rejected with complaints never remains. Therefore be grateful of your blessings and be patient of every hardship. Thank Allah t3ala that he has blessed you with everything, and thank him that he has tried you with trials as a means of forgiveness and guidance. Indeed with Allah t3ala everything is a blessing; SubhanAllah t3ala!

"Don't lose yourself trying to hold on to something that takes you away from Allah t3ala!

Man feels sad when he does not acquire what was not destined for him, but delights at earning what would not have missed him. You, Abdullah, should feel delight for what you have performed for your Hereafter, grieve for the part of your life you wasted, and feel disinterest in whatever splendor you acquire in this life. Dedicate your vitality at what will come after death (ie. deeds that will grant you Allah t3ala’s Mercy). —’Ali b. Abi Tālib radhiyallahu t3ala anhu in a letter to ’Abdullah ibn. ‘Abbas radhiyallahi t3ala anhu

Hadhrat Sa3d ubnu Mu3aaz Radhiyallahi t3ala anhu and his grave.

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu,
~*~ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ~*~

Hadhrat Jabir Radhiyallahu t3ala anhu narrarates that when the (famous Ansari sahabi) Sa3d ubnu Muaz (radhiyallahu t3ala anhu) passed away, we went to his janazah with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, so after the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam lead the prayer, and we let him in the grave and covered it all up, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam started to say "Subhanallah,Subhanallah", so we too started to read subhanallah. Then he started to recite "ALLAHU akbar, ALLAHU akbar", so we did just as he did, then later the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was asked what what was the reason of the extra zikr today? He replied: The grave of this pious person became narrow and tight, and started contracting him, until ALLAH t3ala has removed the pain and narrowness of the grave and made it wide. 

Commentary: Sa3d ubnu Muaz radhiyallahu t3ala anhu was one of the famous and best companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam:

1) He took part in Gajwah Badr

2) 70,000 angels took part in his janazah

3) The doors of heaven were opened for him.

4) The throne of ALLAH t3ala was shaken by his death.

5) He passed away on the chest of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

6) The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam himself dug his grave.

7) Every time his grave was hit by a shovel while digging, a perfumed scent was released.

8) The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said this about the decision he made about banu Quraizah: "Oh Saad, The decision you made, ALLAH t3ala has made the same decision in the skies.

9) When a perfumed scent came out of his grave, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would say: "How beautiful is the smell of a humans grave."

10) In the room Saad radhiyallahu t3ala anhu passed away, it was so filled with angels that one of them had to move its wing, to make space for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to sit.

11) When his janazah was picked up, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said: the angels are holding is body.

The leader of Dawmatul Jandal wore a beautiful "jubbah" of silk to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallams majlis, the companions had never seen such an expensive, beautiful. and valuable jubbah, so they kept on touching it and expressing their shock over its quality. When the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam saw the sahabas reaction, he said: "Are you very fond of this jubbah? Hadhrat Sa3d radhiyallahu t3ala anhus handkerchief in jannah is a lot better, softer and beautiful than this.

 (Saheeh Muslim, sunan nasaaii, jami3-ut-tirmizi)

(I translated this from Bikhre Moti)

There is a huge lesson for us in this story. After the high standard of such a pious sahabi, he had pain in his grave (but it was removed by ALLAH t3ala right away), who are we? Who do we think we are, and

What do we expect?

Ash3aar

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu,
These are some ash3aar I wrote:
             

لا تيئس يا أيها الانسان                             إن الدنيا دار البلاء

يبسط لك الورود اليوم                                و يرميك بالاشواك غداً

 سواء عليك صبرت أم جزعت                      مهما فعلت لابد أن تبتلى

فكن لربك شاكراً على كل حال                   في البلاء و الرخاء

ولا تنس أن ربك معك أبداً                           وأنه أعلم بما أصابك

فتوكل عليه و أترك الشكوى                       وتذكر أنه لا يصيبك البلاء

إلا لحكمة لا يعلمها إلا الله                         فاصبر عسى أن تنفرج

Translation: "Dont loose hope in ALLAH t3ala, Verily this world is a place full of hardships. It spread for you a bed of roses today, and tomorrow it will throw thorns at you. It does not make a difference if you cry or have patience, both ways, you will have hardships. So praise your lord in all conditions, in happiness, and sadness, blessing and and hardships, and Do not forget that ALLAH t3ala is always with you, and he knows better what you are going through. So, trust him, and stop complaining, and remember no one goes through a hardship but for some wisdom which no one but ALLAH t3ala knows. Be patient, and soon your harship will be raised."

It's never too late!

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu!

How suddenly does the world change the moment the moon is seen on the night of Eid. Just as if someone
has electrified everyone, people go from saints to party animals, from The Holy Quran to novels, from the musalla to the bed, from praying to watching movies, from making dua to gossipping, from not eating to eating haraam. The masajid are crying, the masaahif are catching dust, and the oceans, earth, skies are pleading to ALLAH to let them destroy his sinful creation! Was that the purpose of Ramdhan? To worship ALLAH t3ala to the fullest for just one month, and make eid in the rest of the year? To forget him the moment we hear "tomorrow is eid"? If not, then what was the purpose of Ramadhan? It was to change our ways forever, to forget the world, and remember ALLAH t3ala our creator! To bring the love of praying, reading the holy quran, crying in front of him at nights, doing continues zikr, fasting as nawafil into our hearts, and throwing away love of everything else! It was a golden chance to collect as many good deeds possible while they were given out for free, to recognize and build a relationship with The Almighty ALLAH t3ala, and to correct our ways, and stand firm on the straight path! If you were not able to succeed then...No Problem! It never is too late!

 Stand up now! Go in front of ALLAH t3ala, and cry your heart out! Tell him you made a mistake, Shaytaan led you astray! Your back, and your ready! You want to love ALLAH t3ala again, you want him and his worship in your life again! I'm pretty sure what his answer will be, He will welcome you with happiness, and open up his arms for you! Remember his door is the only door which is open 24/7, and no one is EVER rejected on his door! Ask, try it! Ask for anything, you shall be granted! If not now, in the future, or maybe in Jannah!
Wake up! You don't have much time less, malakul mawt is right behind you! It maybe anytime soon when your soul shall be taken away from you, then you will regret forever and ever, but you still have time! Make up for your wrong ways now! Ask ALLAH t3ala for forgiveness, and bring back the person you were during Ramadhan, and if you weren't a good person then Ramadhan, its alright, prepare for the next Ramadhan, change yourself now and remember its never too late!

شكرا يا الله

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu,

Just a poem I wrote:

There are times when I wonder

what would I do if I didnt have Islam

how lucky I am, I cant even imagine

never did I ask, or plead to you

but you still made me blessed

with the greatest gift ever

if compared to blooming roses

or valuable pearls, never can they

reach the status of this great blessing

one who has not a single thing in this world

but has the pride of being a muslim

is far more blessed than one who

has all the wealth in the world

but lacks the gift of imaan

oh my dear fellow muslim

never look down upon yourself

as you have such a great treasure

that nothing in the whole universe

can be compared to its greatness

praise ALLAH for making you a muslim

and cherishing your hearts forever with iman
