This World Isn't Permanent. These Worries Aren't Permanent. These Moments Of Happiness Aren't Permanent.

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.

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

"Truthfulness is a trust, lying is treachery"

—Abu Bakr Siddiq رضي الله عنه

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.

The 6 Fears Of A True Believer

Uthman رضي الله عنه said,

The first : is that Allah the Exalted will take away his iman (faith);

the second : is that the angels will write down things that will expose him on the Day of judgement,

the third :  is that Satan will render his actions void,

the fourth : is that the Angel of Death will take his soul when he is in a state of heedlessness.

the fifth : is that the dunya will delude him and make him work for other than the Hereafter.

And the sixth : is that his family and children will preoccupy him such that he neglects the remembrance of Allah the Exalted.”

- [Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani in, ‘Preparing For The Day Of Judgement’, Chapter 5: “Counsel In Sixes”, Qt.(5)]

“The religion itself is entirely good character, so whoever surpasses you in character has surpassed you in religion."
