‘Work without Delay’

The Messenger of Allah Hazrat Muhammad (sa) said: ‘There are two blessings concerning which many people are cheated: health and free time.’ [Al-Bukhari]                                                                                                                                                                                *******

‘Embark upon works without delay, being as how there are trials like the portions of the dark night, when a man is a believer in the morning but a scoffer by bedtime, or is a believer one evening but a scoffer the next day. He sells his faith for the sake of something that happens to him.’ 

                                                                                *******  

‘Undertake good works before seven things happen: distracting poverty, corrupting wealth, debilitating illness, befuddling senility, final death, the Dajjaal- and evil is the invisible one who waits and watches- or the Final Hour, which is more calamitous and more painful.’

'Stay Humble for Divine Mercy'

  

No matter how successful you are,

No matter how big your house,

No matter how new your car, or

How big your bank balances is,

Your grave will be the same size

As everyone else's

 

No matter how high up you get,

Never forget where you came from.

So keep your feet firmly on the ground

And stay humble.

 

*****

 

When life is good, pray

When life is hard, pray

Never forget to pray,

 Jazak-Allah Khair

Even if it is a whisper, Allah hears it:

 

‘Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allah knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth.’ (3:30)

Wisdom of the Holy Prophet (sa):

 

 

"God the Most High said: 'O Son of Adam, as long as you call on Me and place your hope in Me, I forgive you what you have done, no matter how much. Son of Adam, even of your sins pile up to the clouds in the sky, if you then call on Me for forgiveness I will forgive you. Son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earth full of sins, yet you meet Me without associating anything with Me,  I will come to you with that much forgiveness'. "

A man came to the Holy Prophet (sa) and said, 

'O Messenger of Allah, indicate to me an action whereby 

when I do so Allah loves me and people like me'  

The Holy Prophet (sa) said: 

'Be disinterested in the world, and Allah will love you. 

Be disinterested in what people have, and people will like you'
