Abu Na’eem reported: Ash-Shafi’ee, may Allah have mercy on him, said,
“I never debated anyone except that I would love for him to be reconciled, to be satisfied, and to be helped and for him to be in the care of Allah and His protection. And I never debated with anyone except that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue.”

May Allah protect the believers and grant ease to our brothers and sisters in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Burma--all over the world. Ameen.
Many of us have lost loved ones-but we all face death. O Allah, forgive us, have mercy upon us and unite us with the companions. In learning about death, we are able to face the reality of this world: it will end. We live now for the akhirah, so we can set our priorities straight iA. May Allah bless those who share these videos and the knowledge bestowed upon us by Allah. Ameen. gemsofjannahWhen my heart, my attention and my focus drifts away from Allah, a sense of suffocation elopes me. Every action done, every moment spent feels as though there is no purpose in it. With pursed lips, I try my utmost hardest to call Your name, but Rabbi, Ya Rabbi I feel so very ashamed. -
Here I am, calling unto You, whilst all this time has passed by in Your neglect. I've been using the days You have given me, busy and preoccupied, but my heart and mind hasn't really settled with You. But that's what I want, that's where I want to be, just somewhere close to You, in a shelter called Your mercy. - But Your mercy is here now, it's pouring down from the Heavens, and I can do nothing but turn my heart's gaze towards You. Shower me with Your mercy, pour down upon me Your forgiveness, and accept me in to the Heavens without account. For surely I desire to be amongst those whom You grant entry to. - Rabbi, my tongue has become heavy, due to the absence of Your glorification and praise flowing off of it. My heart has become dark, filled with melancholy due to the presence of everything but Your illuminating light. My finger tips numb and cold, without the energy that sprints through my veins when I engage in Your remembrance. Rabbi, my body is but flesh with no life and soul when I wander through the streets umindful of You. But when I find You, and I realise that You're still waiting for me, my heart erupts with sheer joy. My eyes flow with tears of grief and regret, because You love me even when I dont deserve to be loved. My desire is to be close to You, and it's a battle I endure every day. My heart longs for Your company, whilst my Nafs desires the world. But I've got to keep on fighting because I know that this is but a test of the world, a test of my faith. - Remember us in your duaas during the blessed rainfall.😊 - This is so beautiful:
- Because I want my eyes to see someone special, someone halal, knowing that he/she is my gift from Allāh. - Because I want someone who loves Allāh and loves me because he/she loves Allāh. - Because I want somebody to share my happiness and praise Allāh with me, someone to cry my tears with me and make du’ā with me and someone to love and love Allāh with me. - Because I want to have children of my own to love and care and share with a gift from Allāh. - Because I want to share Allāh’s beautiful creations and praise His name with someone who Allāh has fated to be with me since before I was born. - Because verily, with a halal partner, my life and everything I do with my spouse will be halal in the eyes of Allāh completing half my Deen. - Because I am a gift from Allāh to someone, and I want to let him/her feel Allāh’s love through me. gemsofjannah - You and I walk this path called life, every day is different, and we take different routes along the way, but we admire what we see, we are amazed by the beautiful things which surround us. The adornment of the sky, how lonely it would be and how bare it would look if it wasn't accompanied by the glistening stars which dazzle the onlookers. How bereft would the wolves be, if they could no longer howl at the grandeur of the moon, whilst the stars linger around its gleaming elegance. Elegant because it makes no noise, yet grabs the eyes and attention of all the passers by. -
We're awe inspired by the trees, and all the pictures they paint with the beautiful colours in their leaves. Our hearts are strung along, by the peace of the sea, and the loving manner through which the waves collide against one another, declaring the fact that no matter how often they are separated, they'll drift towards one another again. This is the beauty which dazzles us, tempts us even. It lures us in, it makes us love this world and its inhabitants too, but sometimes it lures us in and we fall in to it deeply, crushing our inner selves in the process. Thus we get hurt, and it hurts awfully. So much so that we can't sleep at night. But it was our mistake, our error which brought us in to such a predicament. We brought it upon ourselves. And this is why pain cures us. Because we realise we weren't supposed to lose our balance. We realise that we were meant to remain grounded. So then we try again. We try to maintain our balance. All along Allah is watching us, waiting for us to succeed. Because this pain is meant to define us in the best way possible, to elaborate on how the believer can take an ugly situation, and turn it in to a beautiful piece of art. And that's why the believer is beautiful. And his relationship with Allah is beautiful. Because Allah wants the best for His servants. - Any pain you feel, be it physical, emotional, mental, let it be a means of pondering and realising that perhaps something needs to change in your life, perhaps you need to repent over an error you have made. Try it, and then see if the pain ceases. |
