You can Be Mu'ādh!
Muādh bin Jabal (ra) said, "The Last thing I
heard the Prophet (sa) say was,
"'Muādh! Treat people well.'"
Our Turn!
On this blessed day, the day of Jumu'a. A
day that has more than 100 virtues, let us
look at our ourselves and find that one
character trait that we know is displeasing
to Allah. At this moment, this second, this
breath, let's dedicate ourselves to Allah
saying,
"Oh Allah! I have (such and such bad
quality). From this moment forward I
promise to try my best and change it for
your sake. Help me, my Lord, to replace it
with what is better and brings me closer to
you. Without your blessing it cannot
happen."
Why This is Important
1) At this moment, the place we are sitting,
the air we are breathing will be witnesses to
our great effort to change.
"On a day in which the earth will unload her
contents."
Imagine this second, the room you are in,
the desk you are sitting at, the computer
you are staring at saying, "I was there when
he/she changed and came back to You!"
2) This moment will bring good to our
community and bring us near to Allah. Allah
says, "Allah will not change a people until
they change themselves." By changing
ourselves, we bring good to everyone around
us!
3) This moment will bring us closer to the
Prophet (sa) who said,
"The closest of you to me in the Hereafter
are the best in character."
Finally, let us imagine that we are Mu'ādh,
hearing the Prophet (sa) say these golden
words. When we act upon them and live
them, we experience a drop of what it must
have felt like!
May Allah bless us to improve our character
and draw nearer to him. Wishing you all a
wonderful weekend.

"But, this dark place is not the end. Remember that the darkness of night precedes the dawn. And as long as your heart still beats, this is not the death of it. You don’t have to die here. Sometimes, the ocean floor is only a stop on the journey. And it is when you are at this lowest point, that you are faced with a choice. You can stay there at the bottom, until you drown. Or you can gather pearls and rise back up—stronger from the swim, and richer from the jewels.": - An Extract from *Reclaim your heart- By Yasmin Mogahed*

‘Surround yourself with people who not only make you think good of yourself, but who also make you think good of your Lord. Negative people make you think that your faults define you and that God Himself defines you likewise—and that He is “lying in wait” to punish you for the slightest deviation from His path. But God is Merciful and Forgiving to all who turn to Him. If you fall, He lifts you up. If you deviate, He guides you aright…so long as you want to be lifted, and so long as you want to be guided. How then can we look at fellow believers, regardless of how “flawed” they appear in our eyes, and tell them anything different? The answer can only be the state of our own hearts.’
— from the journal of Umm Zakiyyah
