Gets me everytime..

Sahaba: Why are you crying, oh Messenger of Allah?

Prophet: I miss my brothers..

Sahaba: Are we not your brothers, oh Messenger of Allah?

Prophet: No, you are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me and they believe in me without seeing me.

My heart always feels at ease when I remember that God judges us by our intentions, not by other people’s thoughts and judgement.

By @thedaiegraphy "Keampunan Ilahi atau Maghfirah adalah nikmat illahi yg amat bernilai. Maghfirah adalah anugerah ilahi yg tidak ada tolak bandingnya dlm kehidupan manusia. Tanpa keampunan Ilahi nescaya setiap insan pasti akan merasai azab seksa & kemurkaan Allah swt. Tambahan pula, setiap manusia tidak kira siapa pun dia, tidak terlepas drpd dosa & kesalahan. Allah sentiasa menyeru manusia beriman supaya mencari & menjejaki keampunan Allah. Dlm al-Quran. Allah memerintahkan umat Islam supaya bersegera & bersaing utk merebut keampunan Allah spt firman Allah: Berlumbalah kamu utk mendpt keampunan Tuhan kamu & syurga yg luasnya seluas langit & bumi, yg disediakan bagi org yg beriman kpd Allah & RasulNya; itulah kurniaan Allah; diberikan kpd sesiapa yg dikehendaki; & Allah mempunyai kurnia yg besar. (Al-Hadid: 20) Al-Quran menyebut bahawa keampunan itu sentiasa dikaitkan dgn syurga, bermakna org memperoleh keampunan Allah. berarti dia memperoleh syurga. Setiap Muslim wajib mencari keampunan Ilahi dlm setiap detik kehidupannya. Rasulullah s.a.w mengajar umatnya perbanyakkan istighfar dlm usaha utk mengejar keampunan Allah. Rasulullah sendiri beristighfar tidak kurang daripada 70 hingga 100 kali sehari semalam. Jika Rasulullah yg maksum beristighfar pd setiap hari & malam sekurang-kurangnya 70 kali, maka manusia yg tidak maksum ini & tidak pula dpt mengelakkan diri drpd buruan dosa, amat wajarlah beristighfar lebih daripada 70 kali berbanding dgn Rasulullah. Keampunan Ilahi hanya blh diraih dgn mendekatkan diri ke Hadrat Allah melalui ibadah & amalan salih. ________________________________________ Teruskan menyokong kami dengan cara : 1.Repost gambar first post atau mana-mana saja post di profil ig kami. 2.Gunakan hashtag official kami iaitu #thedaiegraphy di setiap post anda.

Do not love the one who doesn’t love Allah. If they can leave Allah, they will leave you.

وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ وَلِيًّا وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ نَصِيرًا And Allah is sufficient as a friend, and Allah is sufficient as a helper.

Qur’an (4:45)

When I was little I picked up a flower and put it in a vase. After a few days, it died. I asked my mom why and she said: “You can’t force a flower to thrive somewhere it doesn’t belong to.” And now I have realized that people are like that too.

If there is a contribution that Muslim westerners can bring to their respective societies, it is surely that of reconciliation. Confident in convictions, frank and rigorous in their critical outlook, armed with a broader understanding of Western societies, of their values, their history and their aspirations, they are ideally placed to engage their fellow citizens in reconciling these societies with their own ideals.

Bismillah wasSalatu was Salaamu ‘ala Rasoolillah – With the Name of Allah, I begin by invoking Divine Greetings and Peace upon the Messenger of Allah. Shireen, my daughter, you are now 4 years old. Omar, my son, you are now three years old. Adam, my son, you are now 7 weeks old My children, know that I and your mother love you.  We agree on these words of advice to you.  I pray that these words will be a part of you as long as you may live. My children, there is only One God.  All that exists belongs to Him as He is the Originator of all.  He, subhanahu, aloneis worthy of worship and all other deities are to be shunned. Laa illah illa Allah. He, the Mighty and the Majestic, is the Creator of all things big and small.  Out of nothing, He, subhanahu (Most Glorious), made everything. He has knowledge of all things, not even a leaf flutters to the ground without His foreknowledge of its descent.  He, subhanahu, knows what was, what is, what will be, and what would be even though it will never come into reality.  He is the Provider for all. None can gain what He has not set. None can push back what He has brought forth.  Allah is arRahman arRaheem – The Merciful to All, the Especially Merciful to those who distinguish themselves in obedience to Him.  Do not join anything with Him in that which Only He deserves. My children, establish your prayers regularly and with humility. Nothing in your life is more important than your salah.  Prayer is your connection to Allah.  Insha Allah, I will teach you what to say and the Qur’an to recite in your prayers. I will teach you the times and the rules and regulations. I will enforce it upon you by praying with you, and behind you as you mature. I will remind you often of its importance and form so as to remind myself of it.  There will be times when your faith fails and your salah begins to slip away from you.  Return to Allah quickly and make up that which you miss.  I pray for your success in this. My children, feel the hunger and thirst of others.  Wealth, health, prosperity are all governed by the Decree of Allah.  If we are prosperous now, we thank and praise Allah.  Tomorrow may not be the same as today.  If you are less fortunate in days to come, be patient and equally thank Allah and praise Him.  Put your trust in Allah and work hard as taught to us by His Messenger (s).  To avert poverty give to others from the bounties bestowed upon you by Allah, treat your mother well, and spend your money in that which is permitted.  Give loans to those who ask, and repay quickly those you owe.  All the while, be content with the meagre and generous with your excess.  Speak well of Allah’s Grace upon you and be charitable to your neighbours, family and community.  Ask forgiveness from those you harm and repent to Allah.  If all you have is but a single meal and your neighbour hungers, split it in half. That, my children, is prosperity. My children, seek knowledge and find ways to apply it. Learn something about everything. Familiarise yourself with all the sciences that surround us in life and the things you encounter regularly. All the while search for something you seek to know everything about and delve deeply into it.  Knowledge is a torch that illuminates your path. It is power.  Develop a love for solving problems, unravelling mathematics and appreciating literature.  The more you read the better.  I pray that Allah grants me life to instruct you in the Qur’an – the Sacred Truth.  Its message is peace, its words are holy and its script is revered.  I will read with you, for many years the Qur’an, page by page, ayah by ayah, and word by word, insha Allah.  It is through the Qur’an that you must view the world.  It will lead you upon the straight path that has been tread upon by the virtuous.  The limits you set for yourself and the boundaries I will establish are that of the Qur’an.  The Qur’an is Truth. My children, as you mature you will come to realise that life is not easy and Allah will test you every so often.  The more you read of the life of the Messenger Muhammed (s) and seek to follow his tradition of life, the more resilient you will be in the face of adversity.  Any kind of hardship you can envision and pray to never face was shouldered by him, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, simultaneously.  He experienced, in his 63 years of blessed life more tribulation than a cohort.  He, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, was an orphan, a widower, battle scarred, and unjustly outcast.  He outlived many of his children and buried some of his grandchildren.  His uncle, the Mercy of Allah be upon him, was martyred and his body desecrated.  He, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, was defamed, mocked, lied to and about.  He was poisoned, stoned, and had to witness his companions tortured on account of their faith in his Message, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim. My children, know that your faith in Allah must manifest itself in your character. Tawheed builds Character.  Speak the truth always, even if against yourself. Avert your eyes from immorality, pornography and junk TV.  Keep your chastity and guard yourself from any stage of sexual immorality. Know that a friend is a window to your soul.  Follow your heart and be true to your firasah (instint).  Be just, firm and gentle in your dealings.  When you are hurt, recover quickly and thank Allah for the difficulty that extinguishes sin.  When you are well and all seems to be at peace, be vigilant and anticipate a brewing storm. When you err, repent to Allah and seek not to conceal it from me by lying or deception.  The greatest lessons you will learn will be through your naive misjudgement of peoples’ character, your over confidence and because you did not heed our advice as your parents.  When you err, we are there. As bad as you may think it is and as embarrassing as you may find it, step up to me and I will run over to you.  Know that you are brothers and sisters to one another. If your cousin slights one of you, it is as if he slighted all of you. Together you must remain as one. My children, if pushed, push back harder.  In life you must hit back.  Let no one assume you weak on account of your spiritual inner peace. Learn to negotiate and compromise and dialogue while attaining your objective.  Violence is not a solution.  Peace does not mean fragility. Be sturdy, humble, durable and reflective. My children, remember that your mother carried you and sustained you in her own body. For nine months she protected you and nurtured you.  She loved you with an amazing intensity all throughout.  The day of your birth and all that days that followed have only increased that love.  Your illness is our illness, your success is our success.  Know my children that I possess nothing of the dunya that is equal to you.  I love you and will continue to love you as long as I live.  Eventually, insha Allah, you will have children of your own.  Make sure you write them a letter. I ask Allah to grant me life, health and ability to educate you as my father and mother educated me.  I ask Allah to put love in your hearts for humanity and to use you in the assistance of others. I ask Allah to protect you and honour you with al-Qur’an. I ask Allah to increase your rizq, lifespan and allow you happiness in this dunya and in the akhira.

To my future child. I love u

[farrazakaria]

Not a good Muslim. Little to no imaan. Or I can at least tell. I'm not mean to others but inside i feel like a munafiq. Any advice? Jazakallah

Assalamu Alaikum WarahmatullahiWabarakatuhu,

Our eman is not constant.So when we have stronger connection with Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala, it’s easierfor us to fight with the desires and whispers of shaitan but when we have weakconnection, it become difficult to fight. Strive to get closer to AllahSubhanahu wa ta’ala and ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala to give us sincerity inour worship and make us fall in love with him and don’t get us attach to thisworldly life.

“Truly in the heart there is a void that cannot be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadnessthat can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and beingtrue to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except withlove for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a personwere given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill thisemptiness”(Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah)

Hereare some tips to get closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala that will help you inshaa Allah.

1.If wewant to get closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, we have to fulfill ourobligatory duties and follows the command of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and hismessenger (peace be upon him) wholeheartedly.

2.BeingGod conscious, always keep in mind that whatever we do, we have to beaccountable to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and He’s watching us all the time.

3.Wheneverwe do a good work, always make the intention that you are doing this to pleaseAllah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

4.Bethankful to Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala in every situation and be happy with theAllah decree.

5.Tryto do dhikr all the time, it will make us closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

Followingare some dhikr that we can do all the time:

1. Asthaghfirullah2. Subhaanallah3. Alhamdulillah4. Allahu Akbar5. Laa ilaaha illallah6. LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH-HIL ALIYYIL ADHEEM7. Asthaghfirullah-halladhee Laa ilaaha illa-huwal Hayyul Qayyuumu Wa athoobuIlayOrAsthaghfirullah8. SUB-HAAN’ALLAAHi WA BI-HAM’DIHI SUB-HAAN’ALLAH-IL ADHEEM OrSUB-HAAN’ALLAAHiWA BI-HAM’DIHI9. Subhāna-llāhi, wa-l-hamdu li-llāhi, wa lā ilāha illā-llāhu, wa-llāhu akbar.Wa lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-aliyyi-l-azīm10. Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamduyuhyi wa yumītu wa huwa ḥayyu-llā yamūtu abadan abada, ḏū-l-jalāli wa-l-ikrām,biyadihi-l-khayr, wa huwa alā kulli Shay-in qadīrOrLaa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay-in qadeerWe should also recite much of durood e Ibrahim which is the durood that isrecited towards the end of Salaah. Or the shortest durood is: SallallahuAlayhi Wasallim

6. Duaand Repentence:

Almighty Allah says in the Qur’an: ”Whenmy servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). Ilisten to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me.” [2:186] The place of Dua is so high in front of Allah, that the Prophet (SallallahuAlayhi Wasallim) has said: ”Nothing is more honourable to Allah the MostHigh than Dua.”[Sahihal-Jami` no.5268]. Allah loves repentance & loves those who turn to him in sincererepentance: Truly Allah loves those who turn [to Him] in repentance… (Qur’an 2:222)Narrated ‘Ubaadah that theMessenger of Allah said, “Whoever seeks forgiveness forthe believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed forEACH believing man and believing woman.” (Tabarrani) Subhanallah this deed can be done in EVERY dua and can you imagine how manyrewards can be gained for each and every Muslim you make dua for from Adamalayhis ‘salam until now and the last Muslim on earth. This is the easiest wayto earn rewards that go into the billions and the more you make these dua’sthen the more your good deed account will get filled!

7. Have friends that make you close to Allah Subhanahu wata’ala, not those whose company make you forget Allah.

8. Turn to Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala for every little problemand ask for his help.

Listento Islamic lectures, fix your prayers and try to do dhikr it will help in shaaAllah. I hope it will be helpful. May Allah guide us to the straight path.

Ameen

Narrated Anas radi Allahu anhu: The Prophet salal laho aliehi wasalam said, “Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle salal laho aliehi wasalam becomes dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah’s sake. 3. Who hates to revert to disbelief as he hates to be thrown into the fire.

Our Nafs (soul/desires) can be on one of three levels: (From lowest to highest) 1. Nafs Ammarrah Bi Soo - Desires that call towards evil 2. Nafs Al-Lawwaamah - A soul that feels guilty 3. Nafs Al-Mutma’innah - A soul in a state of inner peace We must avoid the lowest level, and strive all our lives to try and reach the highest level.

'Alī b. Abī Ṭālib رضي الله عنه reported: The wife of al-Waleed b. 'Uqbah came to the Prophet ﷺ and she complained to him saying, “O Messenger of Allāh! Indeed, al-Waleed has beaten me!” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Say to him: he (ﷺ) has protected me.” She did not stay but for a while...
