As-Sajdah 32:17
فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أُخْفِىَ لَهُم مِّن قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e., satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.

means, no one knows the vastness of what Allah has concealed for them of everlasting joy in Paradise and delights such as no one has ever seen. Because they conceal their good deeds, Allah conceals the reward for them, a fitting reward which will suit their deeds.

Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said: 'I have prepared for My pious slaves things which have never been seen by an eye, nor heard by an ear, or (even) imagined by a human being.' "

It was also reported from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said:
"Whoever enters Paradise, will enjoy a life of luxury and never feel deprivation, his clothes will never wear out, his youth will never fade. In Paradise there is what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and has never crossed the mind of man". {Muslim}

Allah commands His servants who believe in Him and have faith in His Messenger to implement all of Islam's legislation and law, to adhere to all of its commandments, as much as they can, and to refrain from all of its prohibitions.

Meaning perform the acts of worship and avoid what Satan commands you to do. This is because:
"He (Shaytan) commands you only what is evil and Fahishah (sinful), and that you should say about Allah what you know not." (2:169)

This Season, we ask to fast from;
💙Fast from All that Allah does not love for us.
💙Fast from Thinking that we know when Allah alone is the Knower.
💙Fast from Thinking negatively of anyone.
💙Fast from All forms of manipulations and strategies.
💙Fast from All our bad habits and reactions.
💙Fast from Obsession.
💙Fast from Despair.
💙Fast from Selfishness and Self-centred behaviour.
💙Fast from Seeing reality only from our own point of view.
💙Fast from Relying on anything or anyone other than Allah.
💙Fast from Thinking that we have any existence seperate from Allah.

MY TWO BEAUTIFUL WISHES.

It has always been my wish to fulfill three things before l leave Dunya. And among them are the two most important things. Memorizing the book of Allah and visiting the house of Allah. I became teary listening to the most beautiful lecture about them.

Dear, l have had beautiful stories of some beautiful women who had memorized the Quran in their old age. Some are enrolled as we speak. They do not care the number of years it will take them. It took some of them six to eight years to fulfill this dream. But, they were determined and they know the reward lies with Allah. I think they were able to be strong and focused because they love Allah and they love the book of Allah. They have Dunyah in their hands and not their hearts.

For me, l realized l had shifted my energy to my children. I didn't want those who had become hafiz/hafizah among them to forget it. So, l am extremely on top of their Murajah. And l haven't stopped to put my energy into the rest of them. I am working hard to have the third onboard. So, l am struggling myself. Though, l have a very beautiful teacher who never leaves me alone. But, l kinda lose track many times. From work; to house chores, and every other thing mother does. I learn from the lecture about dedication. At least 30-40 minutes a day should be set aside for it. One can memorize two-three verses depending on how long they are. I feel like sharing these with you. Perhaps, we are both struggling and with the same challenges. If you are not married or you do not have any children, yet. Please, take all the opportunities. You wouldn't ever regret what you do. Let me add this prayer. Oh Allah! Make the path to memorize your book and implement all lessons therein easy for me and others in my shoe. Ya Rabbal 'Al'aameen.

Have you been in my shoe before? Or are we currently on the same boat? How do you fulfill this beautiful dream?

Dear teenage muslim/muslimah,

When Allaah guides you and you suddenly go home with more understanding, some parents will be happy but not too happy. They will be impressed, but also distressed. They will love you more, but they may express their love in a weird way...

They will be happy that you have chosen to be "closer to God", but they will be afraid that you have "gone too far". They will love your newfound love for the deen, but they may not love your appearance (hijab, beards, et al). They would say, "wear your hijab, but not niqab", "keep your beard, but trim it a little", "go to halqah, but don't come and preach to us"...

Such parents need time. They need your patience. They need your love. If they hate you, love them. If they frown at you, smile at them. If they frustrate you, be kind to them. If they victimize you, pray for them. Don't feel bad, feel happy that you are making a good history and setting a precedence for generations yet to come.

Don't make the mistake of running away prematurely. I used the word prematurely because, running away may turn out to be a last resort when your life and sanity become insecure. But in most cases, you won't need to run. Dear sister, don't take to social media for refuge. There are people parading themselves as "Abu Superman" but they have nothing to offer you except to take advantage of you - emotional entanglement, forced marriage, premarital s*x, and the list goes on and on...

Ask Allaah to guide you through this trying period. Ask Him to keep your heart firm and strong. Look out for red flags when you associate with any group - avoid anyone or anything that looks suspicious or doubtful. The religion is completely clear and easy. Don't let anyone push you to extremism in deen. Be calm and soft in speech. Be pleasant and exemplary in character.

With patience and prayers, your parents will come to love you for the religion you have embraced. Your face will start to brighten with your beard. Your beauty will start to radiate through your hijab. Those who mocked you would come back to seek your friendship. Those who disowned you would come back to seek your help.

"... So be patient. Indeed the promise of Allaah is true." (Qur'an chapter 30 verse 60)

THE SERVANT'S HUMBLE NEED FOR GUIDANCE

As salaam alaykum waramotullahi wabarakatuh dear sisters in Islam
All praises, adorations and gratitude belong to Almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) with salutations to the noblest of mankind, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the prophet, his entire household, his companions and those who follow the path he laid till the day of judgement. Aameen

Verily the blessing of a man lies in his teaching of goodness wherever he may be and his giving of advice to everyone he meets.
Allaah, the Exalted said, informing about al-Maseeh (i.e., Jesus) (Alayhi-salaatu was-salaam)

'And He made me blessed wherever I may be'. [Soorah Maryam (19):31].
Meaning, "A teacher of goodness, a caller to Allaah, one who reminds (others) of Him and who exhorts them to His obedience".
So this is from the blessing of a man.

When it is known that guiding people, teaching them and advising them opens up a door of guidance for an individual -since the reward for an action is its like - every time he guides someone and teaches him, then Allaah will (further) guide him and teach him.
Therefore, he will become a guide and guided, as occurs in the supplication of the Messenger of Allaah which has been reported by at-Tirmidhee and others,

"O Allaah, beautify us with the adornment of eemaan, make us guides (for others), guided, not astray, leading others astray, peaceful to Your close friends (awliyaa), warring with Your enemies. With Your love do we love those who love You and with Your enmity do we show enmity to those who oppose You."

As for those who have been favoured (by Allaah), they are the ones to whom Allaah has been bountiful by granting them the realisation of the truth in terms of knowledge, in complying with it and preferring it as a mode of conduct over whatever is besides it. These are the ones who are upon the path of safety and those besides them are upon the path of destruction.

For this reason Allaah, free from all imperfection, has ordered that we say numerous times, in the day and night:

"Guide us upon the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians)". [Soorah al-Faatihah (1):6-7].

The servant is in the greatest need of being knowledgeable of what will benefit him in this life and the hereafter, that he prefers and chooses what benefits him and avoids what harms him. By both of these things he is guided to the Straight Way.

If the knowledge of this passes him by he will be treading the path of those who are astray. If his desiring it (i.e., the truth) and following it is lost, he will be treading the path of those upon whom is (Allaah's) anger.

By this (explanation) you will realise the extent and scope of this mighty supplication, the intense need for it and the dependence of the happiness of this life and the hereafter upon it....

TO BE CONTINUED!
