I ask: _"Why was I tested?"_ see what Quran says-

I ask: _"Why was I tested?"_

Quraan answers: *“Do men think that they will be left alone saying, ’We believe’, and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.” [29:2-3]*

I ask: _"Why could I never get what I want?"_

Quraan answers: *“It is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing, which is bad for you. But Allah knows, while you know not.” [2:216]*

I ask: _"Why was I burdened this way?"_

Quraan answers: *“Allah does not place a burden to a soul greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns.” [2:286]*

And, *“So verily, with every difficulty there is relief: (repeated) Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.” [94:5-6]*

I ask: _"Why do I lose hope?"_

Quraan answers: *“So lose not heart, nor fall into despair…” [3:139]*

I ask: _"How can I face it?"_

Quraan answers: *“O you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; compete in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah that you may prosper.” [3:200]*

And, *“And seek (Allah’s) help with patience, perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard, except to those who bring a humbly submissive (to Allah).” [2:45]*

I ask: _"What do I get for all these?"_

Quraan answers: *“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and properties (in exchange) for that they will have the garden (of Paradise)…” [9:111]*

I ask: _"To whom can I depend?"_

Quraan answers: *“(Allah) suffices me: there is no god but He: On Him is my trust-He the Lord of the Throne (of Glory) Supreme.” [9:129]*

I always say: _"But I can’t take it anymore!"_

Quraan answers: *“…and never give up hope of Allah’s Soothing Mercy; truly No one despairs of Allah’s Soothing Mercy. except Those who have no faith.” [12:87]*

And, *“Despairs not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives All sins for He is Often-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [39:53]*

Rasoolullah's ﷺ Shoes and Leather Socks:

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground. (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger. (Shamaail Tirmidhi) Hazrat Anas (Radiallahhu’ anhu) narrates that from the sunnah is that one should remove his shoes and place them to the left side when sitting. (Mishkaat) Sourc...

Understand prayers we offer:

Fard : obligatory prayer Sunnah : Prophet's tradition Wajib: obligatory prayer (Denying a Fard makes one a non-Muslim but denying a Wajib makes one a sinner. One must make up any missed Fard or Wajib prayers.) Nafl : voluntary prayer And again how sunnah is divided: The sunnah are again divided into Sunnah Muakkadah and Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah. Sunnah Muakkadah: means an act that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, always used to do. These rakats must be offered. (However if missed, there is no makeup or qada for it). Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah: are sunnahs that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to leave sometimes without any reason. These are not obligatory. Thanks for reading. I felt many of us have lack of clarity on this basic concept of Namaz we offer. Jazakallah hu khair. Source: Received as whatsaap message. Republished in this blog.

Have we ever thought about kind of friends and companions we have: Glance through this friendship test-

Does your friends have this qualities ; 4 QUALITIES OF A RIGHTEOUS FRIEND 1. When you see them, they remind you of Allah. 2. When you sit with them, it increases your Imaan. 3. When they speak to you, it increases your knowledge of deen. 4. When you see their actions, you remember the Akhirah. What does Quran say : “Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous” {Surat Az-Zukhruf, 43:67} What do pious people say ; ❝There is nothing that corrupts a person or rectifies him more than [his] companion.❞ - Sufyan al-Thawri رحمه الله ❝Companionship with good people leads to beneficial knowledge, virtuous manners and righteous deeds, whilst companionship with bad people prevents one from all of this.❞ - Imaam as-Sa’dee ( رحمه الله) “Bahjatul-Abraar” p. 226 ❝Have lots of belie...

So be patient with beautiful patience:

#Sabr-#Patience وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ✨ *"And be patient for the sake of your Lord."*♥ -[Al Qur'an, 74:7] It ain't easy, to always keep your train of thoughts to be positive, vibrant and happy. Rather it's takes humongous effort from your side. The effort to believe that Allah isn't restraining something you desire except to direct you to a greater path of excellence. The effort to believe with all your heart that, Yes! Allah Subawanata'ala, who named Himself- Al Wadood, The Most Loving, does love "you". He loves you with all your imperfections, unless we too constantly purify ourselves for His sake. It takes a real believer of faith to acknowledge his shortcomings, own up for it, and pick himself up from the downtrodden shackles of life, be embarked with goodness, and then make revolution to happen. Patience is a virtue, that's bitter than bitte...

WE ARE 100% ON DUTY:

CAN A MUSLIM DRINK ALCOHOL? When a European Airline was initially launched, a PRACTICING MUSLIM gentleman was traveling in the first class section. An air hostess approached him with a complimentary drink, this was an alcoholic drink, but the man politely refused. The air hostess returned but this time brought the drink on a platter, designed to appeal and impress. However, the MUSLIM man again politely refused, explaining he doesn't drink alcohol. The air hostess was concerned and informed the manager. The manager approached the man with another platter, now designed with flowers. He questioned, “Is there something wrong with our service? Please enjoy the drink, it is a complimentary offer.” The man replied, “I am a MUSLIM and I do not drink alcohol? The manager still insisted that the man take the drink. Then, the MUSLIM proposed that the manager should give the drink to the pilot first. The manager stated, “How can the pilot drink alcoho...

The test of patience and Prophet Ayyoob (عليه السلام)

A piece of advice to our brothers and sisters especially in these times, read and ponder over the story of Prophet Ayyoob (عليه السلام). He had good health, big family, then he was tried with sickness and poverty for 18 years! And the loss of his family except his wife. "And (remember) Ayyoob, when he cried to his Lord: "Verily, distress has seized me,& You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy. So We responded to him & removed what afflicted him of adversity." (21:83) He called upon his Lord directly and His Kind Lord answered him. Allaah تعالى described His noble Prophet- Ayyoob (عليه السلام) in His saying: إِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ صَابِرًا ۚ نِّعْمَ الْعَبْدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ "Truly! We found him patient. How excellent (a) slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)!" (38:44) Imām 'Abdur Rahmān As-Sa'dee (رحمه الله) mentioned, ..."Ayyoob (عليه السلام) became an example for the patient ones, a co...

What is the secret of your religiousness?

Someone asked *Hassan Al Basri:* *"What is the secret of your religiousness?"* He replied : "I understood 4 things: 1. I understood that *my RIZQ cannot be taken by anyone, so my heart became content.* 2. I understood that *no one can do my actions (worship) for me, so I started doing them myself.* 3. I understood that *Allah is watching me, so I became ashamed to do wrong.* 4. I understood that *death is waiting for me, so I started to prepare for my meeting with Allah."* May Allah grant us this understanding, and the ability to act, أمين ‏يا رب العالمين Ameen ya rabbul alameen.

Rizq is only from Allah (S.W.T):

A man is absent from his work one day & during that day his boss realises how much work he does, so decides to increase his pay. On pay day when he receives more money the man doesn't say anything. A few days later he is absent again & the boss is angry & decides to cut his pay. When he gets less money on pay day he again quietly takes the money without saying anything. The boss asks him the reason & he says the first time I was absent I was blessed with a child & when u increased my salary I realised that he brought his rizq with him The second time I lost my mother & when u decreased my salary I knew she took her rizq with her. He said why should I argue when اللّه Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has taken responsibility on Himself to provide rizq for everyone. Nabi SallAllahu aliyhi wasallam said (PBUH) “If you place your trust completely in Allah, as it ought to be, then surely you will be provided sustenance in the manner that ...
