Assalamoalaikum wr wb!
(If you are reading this now...I mean after a long time..don't worry...it's never too late..we've the time until we're alive...but if you've already got the chance to read this...start from now on...don't wait...for we dont know we'll be living for the next second or not!...continue reading till the end...it's worth...May Allah bless you and reward you for that )
We, Alhumdulilah, believe that Allah is our Lord, our Creator and has the power to do everything..nothing can happen except by His Will.
But ...you know what...I feel our faith is not strong..we say we believe..but we dont imply it!
When you love somebody and trust them a lot you believe that person will help you in every possibly way..and you rely on that person a lot...then when we love Allah, why do we take tensions and worries..
Let us all REALLY love Allah...let us all trust Him completely...Remember, if we love any person, there's no gurantee..you'll love each other always..those who experienced may better understand this! But Allah will never leave you...love Him..When we truly love someone, we do anything for that person...so if we love Allah, then inshaAllah, acting upon His desires will no longer remain a difficult task for us..refraining from a sin will become easier because we'll know Allah won't like it, and we love Him so we gotta avoid that!
Let us have a strong faith that He is always there for us, and it's possible for Him to do everything and anything if He wills! Know that whatever He gives you, or decides for you is better for you, for He knows best! hence be content with everything, for He loves you and will be there for you ALWAYS!
So let this XPF community try this from today for a week and see how our life is changed? Are we any successful to improve ourselves? Share your views here, about what all you were able to change. InshaAllah, from then on, we'll continue to work on this principle.
Are you all READY for this one week campaign??
Let's all hope, to see some change in ourselves!
Post below is you are willing to take part..I'll add up your name
(the rest is shared by 'badrobot14'. Jazak Allah-u-Khairen....may Allah bless you and reward you loads for your efforts!)
Most people obey an authority because of fear, e.g. someone wouldn’t steal because he might be punished by the government… or he stays at office for his shift because else he might get fired, but the best of the Muslims obey Allah because they love doing so! Yes, they do have Taqwa (awareness/fear) of his punishment but they also have hope in his mercy. Scholars sum up the three ingredients of obeying Allah beautifully:
Ibn al-Qayim said: “On his way to Allah, a [believer’s] heart is likened to a bird: love is its head, fear and hope are its wings. Hence, when the head and wings are sound, the bird will perfectly fly; if the head is cut, the bird will die and when it loses the wings, it will be inevitably objected to hunting”.
So the heart obeys Allah in hope of His mercy, in fear of His justice (or punishment) and in His love.
Developing the love of Allah; let’s make this the primary purpose of this week!
You are highly recommended to read the following article:

How can I make my heart love Allah (swt)?
• Read the Qur’an with reflection (preferably after Fajir salah);
• Perform more nawaafil (voluntary acts of worship): “Nothing endears My servant to Me than doing of what I have made obligatory upon him to do. And My servant continues to draw nearer to Me with the supererogatory [nawaafil] so that I shall love him.” [Bukhari]
• Always remember Allah (swt): The righteous used to say that if you awake and sleep remembering Allah (swt), then you awake and sleep without a sin. Not that we will not make mistakes, but sins are erased by constant dhikr; (remembrance of Allah, swt) and good deeds, insha’Allah.
• Choose what Allah (swt) prefers over what you prefer.
