[dhikrullah.com] - Reminding because it benefits the believers!

How many times have we thought of doing a good deed but then canceled or changed our mind simply because it seems like its not worth it. Or the hassle is too long for something so “minor” when we could spend our time doing a bigger deed when more often than not, we don’t even end up doing anyway

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: the Messenger of Allah [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] said:

“Do not disdain a good deed, (no matter how small it may seem) even if it is your meeting with your (Muslim) brother with a cheerful face.”

A deed may seem so small and insignificant in our eyes, however in the sight of Allah, it may be something great. No matter how small it seems, even if it seems like its just part of our habits, we should still continue to do it, because if done for the sake of Allah, who knows what blessings lie in it. Although that shampoo advert may make no sense because like whats shampoo and dandruff got to do with being worth it, but anyways, lets forget head and shoulders for now. Whenever you think of doing any deed, however small it may seem, hurry to do it..because its worth it *smiles*

A long long time ago in a blessed land far far away..an ayah was revealed. Just like every ayah, not only does it apply to the past, but also to the present and the future aswell.. The slave of Allah is in need of something and who has the ablility to grant anyone anything except the lord of the worlds, Allah aza wajal? We ask, Allah gives. Thats like a dream come true. Allah [aza wajal] says in Surah Baqarah, verse 186:

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ

And if My servants ask you about Me - indeed, I am near;

[click here to listen to Mohammed Luhaydan reciting this ayah]

Allah [aza wajal] hears our supplication and we do not need anyone to deliver the message.Even though Allah [subhanahu wa ta3la] is above the heavens, in terms of us calling onto him and making dua..Allah is always near even if we think we are in a galaxy far far away *smiles*

Everyone strives to be the best at everything they do and even if we dont, we all should. And what more important matter is there to be the best then in the deen of Allah [aza wajal]. People measure being the best in different ways and have their own idea of what it means to be the best but the Messenger of Allah [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] said:

Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent

In order for us to be the best not just from amongst the believers but from amongst the whole of mankind then we should constantly repent and repent. Its so simple since everyone already sins, the hard bit is already done, all we have to do is repent and ask for Allah forgiveness. Its not hard really, repent and turn back to Allah in order to be the best *smiles*

Sometimes when things aren’t going to plan and when we have this life vision in front of us and have our life planned. Suddenly it gets turned on its head and you’re left thinking “eh how did that happen?” *scratch* Then we should know that as much as we plan, Allah [aza wajal] has already planned it for us..

Abdullah bin. ‘Amr al-’As [radiAllahu anhu] reported: I heard Allah’s Messenger [salAllahu alayhi wa salam] as saying:

Allah ordained the matters of the creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, as His Throne was upon water [saheeh Muslim]

subhanAllah a whole 50,000 years. Not even 50,000 years from now but a big fat five zero thousand years before creation. When suddenly a gift comes from the sky and you thought there was no way out, and Allah [aza wajal] blesses you with something you could only dream of then it was in your qadr. And if things dont work out as you wished then dont worry about it, sit back, relax and know that its already written *smiles*
