It is easy to love our Creator...just think about all the blessings He gives us..ability to breath, speak, feel, things we take for granted every single day. Subhan'Allah! If it was not for Allahs Mercy I would not be able to even write this message, a message that I sincerly hope will with Allah's help get to you in order to reflect over all the blessings, and feel sincere gratitude. Elhamdulillah.

We ask Allah swt to give us things, to provide us with this and that all the time. And we get almost everything we ask for. The few things we don't get, Allah swt provide us with something even better then that we asked for in the first place. Subhan'Allah this is our Lord, the Most Merciful, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim. And how could we not love Him, how could we not be grateful? So for the sake of this beautiful love always do good and encourage other to do so (a reminder to myself first and foremost). 

 

 

And what about fear..If you sincerly love someone, you fear of loosing the one you love, you don't want to dissapoint or do harm to that person, am I right? How then about the fear for our Lord!? If we love Allah swt most, we don't want to do things that He dissaproves! We should not do things He dissaproves, our actions should reflect our love for Him. If we fear Allah, then we should stay away from bad actions and encourage others to stay away from them too (a reminder to myself first and foremost). 

 

And hope..Allah swt says in the Quran: Say: "O My servants who have transgressed against your own souls: do not despair of God's mercy,for God forgives all sins. It is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." We should never lose hope, only the disbelievers lose hope in the Mercy of Allah! This is our Lord, the most Comapssionate, the most Merciful, the Almighty One. How could you not worship Him, how could you not love him!? Subhan'Allah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

How often do you think about all the blessings Allah has bestowed upon you? The answer on this question is not that often, am I right? Instead, we more often think about things we don't have or want to have. And when we do think about these things, we get sad or bitter. "Why can he/she or them have that and not me, I deserve it more." Sounds familiar? 

Instead of wasting precious time and giving the shaytan opportunity to misguide you, you should remember Allahs favors upon you and be grateful! You can be truly happy only when you appriciate Allah's gifts.

(a reminder to myself first and foremost)

 

Remember that Allah reminds us: “And whatever good thing you enjoy, it is from Allah. Then, when misfortune reaches you, you cry out to Him for help.” [Sūrah al-Nahl: 53] 

 

 

 

Attend gatherings where Allah is praised, gatherings that will strenghten your iman. There are times when our iman is strong and times when our iman gets weak. In both cases we should put our trust in the Almighty, seek guidance and ask Him to make us of the patient and grateful ones. May Allah make us of those who He will shade with His shade on a Day when there is no shade but His. Amin!

 

 

No matter how big you think your sin is, remember that Allahs mercy is bigger. We all make mistakes, we sin, and we regret. Allah loves those who regret and ask for forgiveness! So dear brother and sister repent to Allah, Our Lord, the most Merciful and Forgiving! And as you wish Allah to forgive you, you should forgive others! Islam is about forgiveness, caring and humanity, let us remind one another about that as often we can!

 

 

"Repentance is the most noble and beloved form of obedience in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala.He loves those who repent and it is because of His love for His creation that He tests them with sins so that He may shower His blessings and favours upon them after they repent" (Imaam Ibn Qayyim rahmatullahi alaihe)

 

 

 

 

There are times when you're not really sure if you are making the right decision. There are several people involved, several things you have to take into an account.. the list continues..

 

We know that it is almost impossible to satisfy everyone, so at some time point we have to stop trying to do so. Listen to your inner voice, it is there for some reason! And if you always put Allah first and put your trust in Him, you will not fail! He is our Creator and He knows what is best for us! 

 

 

 

 

It is sad how we can so easly judge others just because we heard something that maybe is not even truth. Who are we to judge, who are we to talk about someone and think that we know the best!? Who gives us the right to do so? Our tounge can be our worst enemy, so choose your words wisely!

 

We want Allah to have mercy upon us and forgive us, but we have such a hard time forgiving eachother. Why is that so? You would like to be forgiven when you sin and fail Allah, so why wouldn't you wish the same for your brother!? We all make mistakes, and instead of judging one another, we should be helping and forgiving! We should strive to help eachother to be better muslims, we should be mirrors to one another!

 

 

"A mirror doesn't show you that you are worse than you actually are NOR better than you actually are. The mirror will show you what is good. It won't hit you or beat you. It won't force you to change rather leave the choice to you."

 

 

Take the first step and create a brighter future for yourself. Your faith will go up and down, but you stay patient and consistent. Allah is always there and will be, He is our Lord and our Guide. Turn to Allah and you will be saved in sha'Allah!

Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an: "When my servants ask you concerning me, ( tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me." [2:186].

So call on Allah because He will never fail to help you. Alhamdulillah!

 

Wherever I am, in every thought,

I feel Your love and mercy, I know You are near.

You opened my eyes, You helped me see clear,

ar-Rahman, ar-Rahem.

 

How blessed I feel that You choosed me,

that You showed me the Right path,

praise belongs to You my Lord,

ar-Rahman, ar-Rahem.

 

I always try to do my best in everything I do,

in order to please You and earn Your mercy.

Cause every little thing I do You see,

ar-Rahman, ar-Rahem.

 

At times I feel weak, but I always remember that

You are near, watching after me.

Forgivness and comfort from You I seek,

ar-Rahman, ar-Rahem.

 

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Keep us on the right path. Amin!

 

 

 

 Every time I observe the creation, I am amazed! It is so perfect and beautiful, that it takes my breath away. I am not questioning its perfection, I mean how could I, when the Almighty, the Perfect One, our Lord created it. I cannot even describe the feeling of pleasure and joy that fills my heart when I think about Lord of Heavens and Earth, the Almighty One. "So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators." (Sura Al- Mu’minun, vers 14)

 

Think carefully about this world, its beauty and its perfection, and then try to imagine Paradise, subhan’Allah. It is not the easiest thing to do, is it?

 

When you observe the most beautiful places all over the world, that amazes people over and over again, it is difficult to even think that something more beautiful could exist. But dear sister and brother, it does! We cannot even compare dunya to what the Almighty have prepared for us in Paradise, in sha’Allah! “Then did you think that We created you uselessly (without any purpose) and that to Us you would not be returned?" (Sura Al- Mu’minun, vers 115)

 

Think and reflect carefully, and then hold that thought. Ask yourself if this world, where you only should see yourself as a traveler passing through, compared to the world hereafter is better. Never forget that “to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return!” What are you striving for, dunya or akhirat?

 

All the blessings our Lord has given us, everything that He provided us with, and still we don’t appreciate it, we don’t cherish it the way we should! Cherish every second in your life as if it could be your last. Be thankful, please your Lord and turn to Him before you return to Him! (It will be said to some) O' you serene soul! "Come back to your Lord well- pleased (with Him) and well- pleasing (Him)," (Sura Al- Fajr, verses 27 and 28)

 

Always remember Allah, be grateful and you will succeed insha’Allah! “Successful indeed are the believers”. ( Sura Al- Mu’minun, vers 1)
