Speck-ofdust - Servant Of Allah

وَلَوْلَاۤ اِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوْهُ قُلْتُمْ مَّا يَكُوْنُ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَا ۖ سُبْحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيْمٌ

"If only you had said upon hearing it, “How can we speak about such a thing! Glory be to You ˹O Lord˺! This is a heinous slander!"

[24:16]

This goes to any negative thing we hear or say about people! Negativity doesn't have to come in categories. To put it simply, it is a plague which erases your good deeds instantly. So why plunge into gossiping and backbiting when it's gonna hurt you both in dunya and aakhirah. How can you face Allāh ﷻ? Why even bother discussing people? As said, "Great minds discuss ideas" , so instead of stockpiling sins, we should aspire to discuss Allāh ﷻ, His gifted Deen, Jannah and Hereafter, Dreams, Goals, informative knowledge, food for thoughts, new ideas, about your day, your reflections etc. If this job seems arduous, then embrace silence. A golden key to unlock every door of possible rewards.

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.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and the hope of reward will be forgiven his previous sins.”

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1641

Now who doesn't want their sins to be forgiven? To be one of the residents of Jannah. To reside under the shadows of trees, to enjoy the flowing rivers. For us to attain the biggest success of this world and the Hereafter which is undoubtedly Jannah, it is essential to work for it. This longanimity of fasts, insatiable thirst, will all be rewarded in the best way possible. May Allāh ﷻ allow us to be the one entering "Rayyan" —one of the eight gates of Heaven for the people who observed fasts only for the sake of Allāh ﷻ.

😭😭😭

Sometimes I fear that I haven’t sacrificed enough for the deen, when I hear stories of brothers and sisters who left everything in the dunyah for Allah’s pleasure and reward, they turned a blind eye on everything and focused on one goal, The paradise Allah has prepared for the righteous… I fear that the promises I made to my righteous friends to meet in Jannah will never come true, and they’ll wait for me there but not find me, I fear that once my actions are weighed, my neglect overpowers my counted good deeds, which I don’t even know if Allah has accepted from me… I fear that my intentions were never pure and any act of worship I believe was for Allah, I made it instead for the sake of fame and prestige, I’m scared of always being happy and always getting what I desire, what if this a punishment from Allah with which he distracts me from his worship and attaches me to the worship of myself ? I fear Allah and his punishment, but then I remember that as big as my fear is, so is my hope for his mercy and reward, for Allah’s mercy overpowers his anger… oh Allah grant us a death worthy of a sincere pious believer with your mercy, even though we’re far from that, for you are the all merciful upon your lowly servants.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

"There is no day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the angels, saying: What do these want?"

—Sahih Muslim 1348
