Always be grateful to Allah for what you have, both big and small!

Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahu 'anh): The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: “Look to those lower than you, and do not look to those above you, lest you view the favors of Allah (upon you) as trivial.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 42, Number 7070]

Beautiful and true. Nowadays people have a habit of looking at the things they don't have rather then be thankful for what they have.

"Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
2:286

"Do Not Complain Why Allah Does Not Grant Our Wishes Immediately.
Rather Thank Allah That He Does Not Punish Us Immediately For Our Sins.

• How many blind people would pay anything to be able to read the Qurán,
• how many deaf people would pay anything to be able hear the Azaan,
• how many dumb people would pay anything to be able to say the Shahadah,
• how many crippled people would pay anything to walk around the Ka'bah.

► You see; we're very rich, but just not grateful... Alhamdullilah for everything
"And few of My servants are grateful. " [34:13]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Those who spend in causes seeking the pleasure of Allah remain in His shelter. Angels send blessings on them and pray for increase in their wealth.” [Muslim]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) swore that spending for the pleasure of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) did not decrease wealth, rather increased it. When you feel financial hardship, give more in the path of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) to increase your wealth!

"Truly! The Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2) will be amidst Gardens and water-springs (Paradise). "(It will be said to them): 'Enter therein (Paradise), in peace and security.' "And We shall remove from their breasts any sense of injury (that they may have), (So they will be like) brothers facing each other on thrones. "No sense of fatigue shall touch them, nor shall they (ever) be asked to leave it."

Assalamoalaikum!

What Are You Striving for: Dunya or Akhira?

<I'm not posting the entire thing at once, because I don't want it to be left unread if it's long! You may follow the link to read the entire thing. I'll post the next part soon InshaAllah!>



“No, you prefer the life of this world, while the hereafter is better and that which remains” (87: 16-17).

Indeed, the akhirah is better for us; we need to use our time in this dunya to work for it.

So why do we prioritize dunya over Jannah?
1. The Cool Factor

Imagine being denied an eternal life of bliss because…

• You neglect your prayers fearing you may not look “cool” among peers
• You choose not to live according to what the Quran says fearing ridicule or poverty
• You do not wear the hijab and jilbab because it is ‘out of fashion’. Or in some societies, solely wear it for fashion.
• You spend hours listening to music or staring at magazines filled with haram pictures

When we sit down and logically think about it, what are we doing? “Our souls are precious, and can only be equal to the price of Paradise. Therefore, sell them only at that price.”

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

that verse made me shiver!

“This dunya (world) is like a shadow, run after it and you will never be able to catch it, turn your back against it and it has no choice but to follow you” [Ibn Al-Qayyim]

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you." (See Hadith No. 85 Vol 1).

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "(The people of Paradise) will not have differences or hatred among themselves. Their hearts will be as if one heart and they will be glorifying God in the morning and in the evening."

Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Hadith 468


The Prophet also said: "A (tiny spot) in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it."

Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Hadith 473

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.

It is because we are different that each
of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest
to your heart.

Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over ... until the moment
you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect.

It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's
impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love.



The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams is to be without hope.

To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget
where you've been.

But also know where you're going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
every step of the way.

"Whoever fears Allah, Allah will find a way out for him (from every difficulty) and He will provide for him from sources that he could
never have imagined.” [65:2-3

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

“If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham (money), leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.” (Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3634).

JazakAllah Khair!
One thing, The 'fear' mentioned above is not just plain old fear, it has a deeper meaning. The aayah reads "akhiriwaman yattaqi Allaha..." I like translation of "taqwa" as consciousness of Allah or Conscious fear of disobeying Allah...To be cautious.
