Two heads are better than one.

The Greatest of Losses

knowledgeprecedes:

Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullaah said: “Know that the greatest of losses is for you to be preoccupied with one who will bring you nothing but a loss in your time with Allah –
the Mighty and Majestic – and being cut off from Him, a wasting your
time with the person, a weakening of your energy, and the dispersing
of your resolve. So, if you are tested with this – and you must be
tested with this – deal with him according to how Allah would wish,
and be patient with him as much as possible. Get closer to Allah and
His Pleasure by way of this person, and make your getting together
with him something to benefit from, not something to incur a loss
from. Be with him as if you are a man who is on a road who was stopped
by another man, who then asks you to take him on your journey. Make
sure that you are the one who gives him a ride, and that he is not the
one giving you the ride. If he refuses, and there is nothing to gain
from traveling with him, do not stop for him, bid him farewell, and do
not even turn back to look at him, as he is a highway robber,
regardless of who he really is.
So, save your heart, be wary of how you spend your days and nights,
and do not let the Sun set before you arrive at your destination.”

Dying not in a state of Islam - Reminder

wethemuslims:

Assalamualaykum..

Some people have died while singing songs, while others have died while reciting Qur’an, some people have faced death when a cinema hall catched fire while others faced Malikul Maut in a stampede during Hajj. Different people. Different Actions. Different ways of Dying. Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) said: ” A person dies the way he lives and will be resurrected the way he died.” How would we like to face death? While dancing in a disco or while in sujood in a masjid? While singing songs or reciting Qur’an? When its time the Angel of Death does not wait for us to come out of disco to take our souls. They reach wherever we are and do their task. Lets leave all the acts of Allaah’s disobidience today, from Now itself. Because if our life will be spent in the obidience of Allaah then we will die as an obidient slave InshaAllaah. Lets Wake up before we Never Wake up! Share the powerful reminder!

Teehee.

I’m pathetic.

Of sand and sea.

“Go”, it says. “Go back.” But I refuse. I stand on my feet, keep hold of the orange doughnut encircling me and defy the current, wade further into the blue. It pushes harder. I fall. “GO BACK!” But I won’t. I won’t go back. This isn’t where I belong. I push, I resist, I fight. I aim for the horizon, where the sky and the sea merge. But it is too far. And I am tired. And I am weak. And so I relent. The waves carry me, gently and firmly back to the shore, back to where I began. My eyes never leave the horizon. I head back. But I haven’t given up. I’ll keep on trying. And I will get there. Paradise.

يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلوبنا على دينك

O turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.

Sometimes i feel like want to live in Makkah. Because everytime i see Kabbah and hear Quran recitation and watching people living there in MakkahLive’s Channel on youtube, i feel like im so close with all that. Makkah for me is like a paradise in this world. Oh Allah, give me the opportunity to set my feet to your Holy Land one day, before i come back and see you forever.

What should you do if you want to meet Allah?

wordsofsolace2:

 فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا

“…So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.” (Quran 18:110)
