1.Many a time, when exams are just around the corner, I used to find
myself turning to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala more than any other time of
the year (excluding Ramadan, Eid, etc.). My Du’as were increasing in
sincerity, in humility and they came wholeheartedly. However, I saw this
as a problem of mine. How I only turned to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala
whenever problems and worldly matters arise.
Subhan’Allah. When I first read this following Ayah, it brought me to tears:
“And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or
sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he
passes on his way as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched
him! Thus it seems fair to the Musrifoon that which they used to do.” (Qur’an: Surah Yunus, verse 12)
I pray that none of us are put into this category.
2. If you can’t seem to get anything in life right, at least get your
salaahs in order. Pray them on time, pray them with khushoo, pray them
with sincerity, pray each of them as if they were your last. Never
neglect your salaah because once the salaah is gone, there is absolutely
nothing left.
3.On the day of judgement, everyone will be running screaming “Nafsi,
nafsi!” or “Myself, myself!” you will look at your mother, brother,
sister, father, daughter, son etc… and not care what happens to them.
You will only be worried about yourself and what you did. Even the
Prophets will be worried about themselves and they were the best of
mankind. Yet, in this life the only thing we worry about is what
everyone else is doing with their lives and what they are doing wrong.
We worry so much about our neighbor’s hijab or our friend’s way of
praying that we start neglecting our own souls. Advising someone or
telling them what is right/wrong is our duty as a Muslim but attacking
someone, back biting or looking down on someone is against the very
teachings of our Prophet (saws). I see it so much on this website
especially, Muslims that think that they’ve found the perfect path and
can now look down on other Muslims that are still struggling. But they
want to help (I have flaws but yours are worse, let me guide you) by
publicly humiliating you or condemning your actions as though they have
the power to do so as a mere human being just like the rest of us.
It’s like 2 gardeners that both have weeds but one has more than the
other so the gardener with less weeds decides to constantly complain
about the other’s garden and criticize how many weeds that gardener has.
Then one day the other gardener slowly begins picking the weeds in his
yard while the other gardener looks over the fence chastising him for
moving so slowly and taking his time weeding his garden. When he finally
finishes, he goes inside and the other gardener has nothing left to do
but turn around and face his garden which has completely overgrown
itself from lack of attention while he was busy minding the business of
the garden next door.
Don’t allow your ego overtake you and cause you to ignore the state of your own heart and soul.
4. And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men).
5.
“O son of Adam, so long as you call
upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I
shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of
the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive
you.”
