Wheres my money gone?

20 04 2008

..Is what you may be asking when you give money feesabililah [for the sake of Allah] for charity. Many a time, you’re sitting there thinking, I just gave my money, now wheres my reward. Humans want immediate results. But know Oh Muslims, for those who are patient, you shall have every single penny you ever spent feesabililah paid back not only in full, but also many times over insha’Allah.

مَّن ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً وَاللّهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَبْسُطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

Allah [subhanahu wa ta3la] says in Surah Baqarah, verse 245: Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return.

Imagine that, the best investment in the world, guaranteed returns and profit. You dont need to be the best business person in the world to make a deal with Allah SWT…*smiles*



The Sunnah, the Better

6 04 2008

Well everyone knows the importance of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] and how we as Muslims, we follow the Quran and the Sunnah. But how many of us truly try to implement the Sunnah?

The Messenger of Allah [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] said in his last sermon: I leave behind me two things. You will never go astray if you hold fast to them: The Qur’an and my Sunnah.

Even in our daily lives, we can do the most simple of actions, actions that every single one of us do, and every human does but if we do it with the right intention to please Allah and to follow the sunnah in these actions we can get rewarded insha’Allah. Simple everday actions such a saying the correct duas and eating with right hand, entering with right foot etc. subhanAllah Allah [aza wajal] has made the religion and the sunnah so beautiful *smiles
