No person who loves Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) can be completely unaffected by the insults towards the Prophet (pbuh), by the way that the Prophet (pbuh)’s been drawn, ridiculed, portrayed, particularly in the Western image to look like what the Muslim man is being molded to be…..
When he’s (saw) being insulted, your raw emotion tells you to respond in a certain way.
When a person defends the Prophet (pbuh), not just any angel would come and support them, but maybe Jibreel (pbuh) as well because that’s what caused Jibreel to come in the life of Hassan ibn Thabit (r).
If defending your brother, in his absence, with his honor, causes an angel to defend you and protect you, what then does that mean when we defend the Prophet (pbuh) intelligently, intellectually, emotionally, without becoming who they want us to become, and demonstrating, in the process of defending the Prophet (pbuh), the character of the Prophet (pbuh), even in that defense, so that we don’t submit to that horrific image that they’ve painted of him (pbuh).
When we spend we should not be giving that which we would not like to receive. What this means is when you’re giving people charity, don’t give them such food or such clothing or such items that you yourself would not take. This is a strict instruction from Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.
Remember the charity a point that we forget, it is for Allah. It’s just that Allah has put a poor person to collect it on His behalf SubhanAllah SubhanAllah, think about it.
So give in a good cause, search for those who are in need, for indeed by reaching out to them, You will achieve a lot of goodness. So they thank Allah by praying for you too.
Be conscious of the day that you’re going to return to Allah at all times.
Your greatest test of humility and honor is going to come when you meet someone who has absolutely none of those things.
Husnul Khuluq, of good character is how a person deals with someone with …. bad character, the prohet (saw) was sitting with Abu Bakr radiallahu anhum and a man started to insult the prophet (saw) and insult Abu Bakr (ra). now the prophet (saw) was doing what he always did Which was responding with patience, the prophet (saw) did not entertain the insult in any way whatsoever And he definitely did not respond in like manner.
Abu bakr (ra) loved the prophet (saw) more than he loved himself is witnessing those insults and finally he can’t hold himself and he responds. As soon as he responds the prophet (saw) gets up and he leaves.
The prophet (saw) is sitting and Abu bakr (ra) comes to him and he says o messenger of Allah, is it something that I did and the prophet (Saw) said that when we were sitting there before we were responding Allah has sent an angel from the heaven said to us and then as soon as you started to respond the said to us and then as soon as you started to respond the angel left. Devil came and sat in its place.
That’s why the prophet (saw) said that strength is not in how you overcome. Another person, strength is actually in how you overcome yourself.
How would you expect the mercy of Allah when you are merciless!
————————-
If Allah is encouraging you to forgive others, you need to know that it will help you health-wise as well. It will be holistically beneficial when you release things.
The more difficult it is to forgive, the greater the reward of forgiving and the more likelihood of you achieving the Forgiveness of Allah.
When we say Ramadan is a month of Mercy, a month of forgiveness. We start off with ourselves being merciful and that is a point many people miss. People think when we say Ramadan is a month of mercy and forgiveness. It is only to achieve the mercy and forgiveness of Allah not realizing that to get that mercy and that forgiveness, you have to be merciful yourself, and you have to forgive yourself meaning you have to learn to forgive others.
The Prophet Muhammed (saw) says Allah does not have mercy upon the one who doesn’t have mercy on the rest of mankind, on the people.
Don’t make a mistake, be merciful and Allah will be even more merciful.
Allah is telling all of mankind worship your Lord the One Who made you, surely He who made you is the One you’re going to return to.
We would only be able to achieve comfort in times of Crisis if we developed the correct relationship with Allah. It is Allah who is showing us His power the helplessness of man And this is why if you take a look at mankind no matter what we have, it is always Nothing compared to what Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala Owns. He owns not only us but whatever we own is also owned by Allah. It’s amazing.
Allah forgives him for indeed Allah is At Tawwab and Ar-Rahim. These two qualities again bring about comfort in times of Crisis. Allah calls himself At Tawwab who it means one who keeps on forgiving; He forgives again and again and so on. So this is Allah has quality. He doesn’t just forgive one time. Never lose Hope in the mercy of Allah. You will feel the comfort.
He is the oft-forgiving, r-rahim the especially merciful. We are all searching for Comfort. These are difficult times, but we must know that when we turn to Allah in forgiveness, and we repent to Allah He will open the doors of Mercy for all of us.
To seek forgiveness is actually the key to the door of the goodness that Allah has kept for you. May we be from among those who can repent. For indeed, It is through repentance that we will achieve comfort.
When we start anything in the name of Allah automatically, we have a sense of comfort. Allah chooses to two of His qualities that He wanted to be repeated again and again,
Those whose tongues are moist in the remembrance of Allah, declaring His praised and His greatness. They will never go wrong.
You could have anything but if you are astray, you’ve lost. You could have anything but if you’ve earned the anger of Allah, you’ve lost what do we want? The mercy of Allah, never let shaitaan overtake you by making you think that you are too far from the mercy of Allah (swt)
This will definitely be a unique Ramadan one to be remembered.
We do know that Allah is the most merciful, the most kind, the most generous, the most compassionate, the most forgiving the most beneficent, Allah is the Healer, he is the curer, he is the sustainer, He is the provider, he is the protector, he Is the curer, may Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala grant us all cure.
Every time there is something that happens that brings us closer to Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala. It is indeed a blessing of Allah. It is indeed a sign of the mercy of Allah and His love for us. May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala Love us.
We have to have hope, we have to instil hope, we have to believe in the mercy of Allah. It’s a unique Ramadan, Ramadan wherein we will be able to participate online more than ever before.
So start selecting what you’d like to do in the month of Ramadan, start setting your timetable, the lessons that you will engage in, the online correction of your recitation, the online learning expanding of your knowledge of the Quran the tafseer, the rulings the regulations that of the Sunnah, the Hadith of the Prophet (saw), the rules and regulations of your religion.
let’s not waste our time engaging in that which is futile and at times even destructive.
There are numerous narrations about simple people in society that had very simple duas that People might have mocked or found to be very rudimentary, but they were actually very special, right, and they spoke to the beauty of the hearts of those whose tongues would Express those simple forms of dua .
Islam is not an elitist religion. Islam is accessible to the Bedouin and it’s accessible to the king. It’s accessible to people across their socioeconomic status, because we all supplicate the same God, we all have the same mechanism for supplicating that one God.
No one has a shorter ladder to him, right? It’s just there, Allahumma oh Allah! and once you say oh Allah then all of us are in the same plane when we say o Allah O My Lord, right, and just call upon him in that way.
