.....ALLAH KNOWS, WHILE YOU KNOW NOT.

So and so is disobeying Allah and Allah gave him so many blessings and I am obedient to Allah but he is not giving me?

A question that could cross your mind!!

I have the answer for you today

If you understood the Qura’an you won’t have asked such a question even within yourself!!.

Fer3oun was not even believing in Allah and he had all the money and the richness of the world and Our beloved Prophet Mohammad Peace be upon him (the most obedient to Allah) used to wrap his stomach with a piece of cloth and a rock out of hanger!!

I will give you a very simple example that will make you understand the theory behind this.

Picture a little child seeing some colorful medication pills and wanting to play with them thinking they are sweets….her parents see her and take them away from her……why?

Don’t they love her? Why not give her what she wants?

They do love her so much more than anything in this world, but if they let her, she might eat them and harm herself or die……..

They know the danger of those pills……she doesn’t ………because they love her….they wont let her

Wa LeLLAH al Mathal Al A3laa……sometimes, you think something is khair for you and you wonder why Allah is not granting it to you? But because he loves you, he wants the best for you….as the case of the parents with their child and more.

Allah SWT says in Surat Al Baqarah: (But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not) 2:216

Focus on this part: (Allah Knows, while you know not)

Read the Qura’an with understanding, your life will change to the better.

The other person whom you see disobaying Allah and still Allah gives them…..its either Allah SWT wants to fulfill them in this dunia so they have nothing in Akherah left in their account of good or it is a test to see how they will react to his blessings and in both cases, you don’t want to be in their shoes…..Allah SWT has a hikmah in everything he does.

Be content with what Allah gives you and make dua. If he gives you be happy and if he doesn’t….be happier

One of the Salaf said: I ask Allah and pray…..if he gives me what I prayed for, I become happy once and if he doesn’t I become happy 10 times….because the first one was my choice but the second one is his choice Subhanahu wa Ta’ala

That is why our beloved Prophet PBUH taught us to pray istikharah on every little thing….so that we seek Allah’s advice and help as he is the most knowledgable and he will give us only what is khair.

Smile and be happy…..Allah loves you

Laylatul Qadr,Is it gone or do i still have a chance??

Assalam Aleikum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatouh my dears.

Laylatul Qadr, is it gone or do I still have a chance? 

This is the night we are all waiting for and hoping to catch while we are in Qeyaam and in Ta3a. Let’s consider these simple points Baraka Allah feekoum: 

1) Laylatul Qadr could be on a witr or a shaf3 night, even though the Prophet PBUH said: seek it in the witr but he also said seek it in the last 10 days and he did not exclude the shaf3 nights. Therefore, we should work hard in all the remaining nights.

2) One of the signs of laylatul Qadr, the believers will feel sakeena (calmness) in their heart. 

3) It might rain a little 

4) As we said before, in these last days, work harder, do more ibadaat. If you were doing thikr in a certain number, double it. If you are reading Quran, double the amount and focus on the meaning, don't just rush to finish the juzu. Also please don't waste your time in the kitchen or in iftaar parties....wallahi you don't know how much you are missing. 

5) Qeyamulail......Qeyamulail......Qeyamulail, is the best ibadah during Ramadan and after Ramadan so please make sure you don't miss it, even if you will sleep a little during the day or early in the night, sleep with the neyya to have strength to do Qeyamulail and in shaa Allah your hassanat meter will be counting even when you are sleeping and put an alarm and wake up fresh and strive. 

6) Always remember Allah sees what is in your heart and he sees how much you are working hard and he is the most generous. 

7) Even if you missed laylatul Qadr and may be it passed, you still have a chance to be exempted from Hell fire and never touch it. Because the Prophet PBUH said: إن لله عتقاء في كل يوم وليلة 

Translation: There are in the month of Ramadhan in every day and night those to whom Allah grants freedom from the Fire, and there is for every Muslim an supplication which he can make and will be granted.” [al-Bazzaar, Ahmad, Saheeh] And do you know what freedom from Hell fire is? It means you will never ever touch hell fire in shaa Allah. How? What if I sin after Ramadan? Allah SWT will make your heart attached to him, he will make you enjoy doing good deeds and even if you sin, you will not be sinning major sins and you will always repent because he will give you Tawfeeq and keep you steady until you meet him Subhanahu wa ta’ala. 

Another hadith of the Prophet PBUH: إن لله عند كل فطر عتقاء Translation: Allah grants freedom from hell fire at the time of breaking fast. Subhana Allah, when you are tired, hungry, thirsty and hopeful that he accepted your fast….how beautiful is that. Finally I tell you my dears, keep striving and Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala can see what is in your heart and he is the most Merciful, the ever Merciful. May Allah grant us all freedom from hell fire Ameen.
