Excellence Is Never An Accident. It Is Always The Result Of High Intention, Sincere Effort, And Intelligent

‘Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives; choice, not chance, determines your destiny.’

– Aristotle

May this auspicious occasion of Eid bring us nothing but abundance of blessings, prosperity and love. May Allāh ﷻ accept our prayers, sacrifices and reward it immensely. This day marks a day of gratitude, reflection and celebration and I pray that Allāh ﷻ guide us with His light throughout this ephemeral journey in this dunya. May Allāh ﷻ shower his choicest blessings on us and our families—strengthening the bond of love and admiration. Praying for the best outcomes in our endeavors with the mercy of Allāh ﷻ. Let this Eid be a reminder for us to keep our Iman steadfast on Deen and allow us to follow the footsteps of Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s) with respect to his unwavering faith in Allāh Almighty. May Allāh ﷻ gift us Jannah. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Eid Mubarak everyone!

Remember me in your prayers

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ"‏ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ ‏"‏ يَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ ‏.‏ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ‏"‏ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ ‏"‏

“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1727

This world isn't permanent. These worries aren't permanent. These moments of happiness aren't permanent. These sorrows aren't permanent. These achievements aren't permanent. These sicknesses aren't permanent. These failures aren't permanent. Your life isn't permanent. My life isn't permanent.

You know what is permanent? The unlimited mercy of Allāh ﷻ. The Throne of Allāh ﷻ. The Forgiving attribute of Allāh ﷻ. The immeasurable love of Allāh ﷻ. That out of all the creation of this universe, we are his favorites. That we are created in our best mould by the One and Only Fashioner. Al Mussawir.

So, close that distance between your face and the ground and completely submit yourself into His ﷻ will and decree. Your life is going to change for the best. And In Sha Allah, your Hereafter will thank you for this change.

Narrated by Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

—Sahih al-Bukhari 7405
