Three Things to Do When We Reach the End of Times

‘There shall come a time upon my Ummah, upon my nation, upon the people who follow me, upon the people who believe in me, they call themselves Muslims and believers, when their prayers are not prayed correctly, and when high buildings spread in every place, when people swear in the name of Allah a lot about everything without fulfilling their oath.’ (Abu Dawud)

 

‘People curse each other a lot. Bribery and adultery prevails. People neglect the Hereafter in order to buy the luxuries of this world in exchange for the Hereafter; so people become materialistic.’

Stars are many,

But the Moon is only the one;

Peoples are many,

But you are only the one

Who believed

in the Divine Manifestation:

The Khalifatullah of this era,

Alhamdulillah.

This Dunyaa,

in which:

 Yusuf was sold for a cheap price,

 Ibrahim was thrown into the fire,

 Musa was accused of sorcery,

And Muhammad was pelted with stones;

Are you waiting for this Dunyaa

To give you a pat on the shoulder;

It didn't even spare the righteous.

Do you ever get emotional when Allah accepts your Duah?

It's not really the acceptance of the Duah that makes you tear up, but the fact that Allah, the King of all Kings, the Greatest, the Creator of everything in this universe and beyond, listens to you...! 

[Standing before God, I feel like], I'm just a tiny little human, insignificant compared to what You have created out there; yet You heard my Duahs, Ya Allah?! Goosebumps!!

Duah to Remove Worry

 

HasbiyAllahu la illaha illa Huwa

Allah is sufficient for me.

There is none worthy of worship but Him

 

Alayhi Tawakkaltu

I have placed my trust in Him

 

Wa Huwa Rabbul Arshil Azeem

He is the Lord of the Majestic Throne.

Hazrat Ibrahim: An 'Ummah'

 

 إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةٗ قَانِتٗا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

 

Indeed Ibrahim was a whole community by himself, obedient to Allah, exclusively devoted to Him. And he was never one of those who associated others with Allah in His Worship. (An-Nahl 16: 121)

Hazrat Ibrahim (as) – Abraham – is considered to be a community (Ummah) and a universe by himself. The question that arises is why Hazrat Ibrahim (as) was granted the title of ‘Ummah’?

Ibrahim (Abraham) was an Ummah i.e. a leader having all the good, righteous qualities of a nation, obedient to Allah, Hanif i.e. being someone who worshipped none but Allah and he was not one of the polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and those who joined partners – false gods – with Allah.
