AQ Reading (8:27,29-30) ~~



Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.


Salam and greetings to all,


Let's do some AQ reading for today.


Surah Al-Anfal -->


27. O you who believe! Do not be unfaithful to Allah and His Messenger, nor betray your trusts(amanah-duties upon you) while you know(of its wrong).

29. O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to) and fear Allah, He will grant you a distinction(between right and wrong) and will rid you of your evil thoughts and deeds, and will forgive you; and Allah is of infinite bounty.

30. And when those disbelievers devise plans against you that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away; they plot, but Allah too plots; and Allah is the best of Plotters(planners).


Wallahu'alam.

IT GOES THE OTHER WAY ROUND~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

IT IS NOT MUSLIMS THAT MAKE ISLAM GREAT, IT IS ISLAM THAT MAKES MUSLIMS GREAT~!!!

GLORY TO ALLAH THE ALMIGHTY. ALLAHU AKHBAR~~

Salam,
Liana

ISLAM -- truly magical & miraculous~


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Salam to everyone and thanks for your precious time to read my average blog,

In today’s battlefield of my blog, I would like to share the feelings poured out by a fellow revert, Abdulmalik Clare(known as Jerome Clare). I’m also taking this opportunity to thank my fellow akhwah for sharing about this with me. May Allah bless him for his good deeds.

Message à        The dunia is a prison for the believer and a paradise for disbeliever. We’re taught to be patient and steadfast and have takwa for Allah, that you might be successful like there’s no end… and Allah S.W.T. said, “say to my servants: Do not despair the mercy of Allah, Allah forgives all sins.” We’re taught these things in the Qur’an. We’re taught them in the sunnah, and we’re taught ‘em by the companions of Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him).  So there’s no end to the encouragement that we’ve been given, there’s no end to it and especially looking at who’s giving you the encouragement? subhanAllah..it’s not just some random people; people get twisted when we think that the AQ is just a book where we read it in a nice voice and we recite it in Ramadhan; however, it’s the kalamullah of Allah, literal speech of Allah. Hence, who better to encourage you than Allah S.W.T. right? Anything you know like being blind, whether you’re in a wheelchair, poverty, whatever your issues happen to be; who’s better at encouragement than Allah? I mean, we can remind you but the source is Allah Taala. Reminders benefit only the believers.

THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, ALLAH PROMISE THOSE PEOPLE PARADISE AND GARDENS UNDER WHICH RIVERS FLOW. THAT IS THE TREMENDOUS VICTORY! There is no victory besides that victory. How it looks doesn’t matter, who cares that people may see them as being defeated, they weren’t defeated, it only looks that way.  No one in Jannah is defeated~ Absolutely nobody~!

Do YOU want to be promised paradise as well? Then, what do you think YOU have to do? Simple as ABC, 2 things à OBEY ALLAH & OBEY HIS MESSENGER~~!!

P/S: Coming from a person who found Islam with His Hidayah (Guidance & Light)~ What mualafs get/feel from/about ISLAM is truly magical & miraculous~

Closure prayer/recital: Allah is He, than whom there is no other God – Who knows all things; both secret and open; Allah Most Gracious, Most Merciful //Allah is He, than whom there is no other God – the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace and Perfection, the Guardian of Faith//The Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: GLORY TO ALLAH~!! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.

Wallahu’alam.

If you love Him~~




Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.


Salam alaik and greetings to all,


"If you love Allah, follow me; then Allah will love you & forgive your sins. Remember, Allah is Most Forgiving & Most Merciful," said Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)



When you look at everything from your Lord,Who created everything,Who befalls tests,that angers your heart and sometimes even excruciating pain,that causes your entire desires to be not within your reach,plus making your life more difficult with hardships,THEN, it's for certain that your heart will be at peace;cos for sure His destinies are not for nothing.

It's not that He doesn't know of your life's 
sufferings,
your disturbed(not at peace) heart; 
BUT maybe THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS, 
because HE KNOWS,
hearts like these are the ones that are highly prone and easier to be intimate(akrab) and close(dekat) to Him. 


SO, PUT YOUR FULL TRUST IN HIM, HAVE FAITH AND DON'T EVER LOSE HOPE~~! ALLAH KNOWS BEST, ALWAYS~~


Wallahu'alam.

Daily AQ Reading (Book/Chapter 7. Al-A'raf)~~


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Salam alaik and greetings to all readers,

Just to share a few verses from the AQ. By reading this post, you’ve done yourself a great deed i.e. “reading” the AQ since these are the interpretations/translation of the words of God. Awesome right?! =)

Here goes:

7:42-43 à but for those who believe and work righteousness (good deeds), no burden do We place on any soul but of which it can bear, - such are the rightful inhabitants of the Heaven, therein to dwell(forever). And We shall remove any lurking sense of injury or whatever rancor and vengeance from their hearts. Rivers flow beneath them and they shall say: “Praise be to God, who has guided us to this felicity. We could never have found true guidance had it not been for the guidance of Allah. Verily, the Messengers of our Lord did bring the truth to us.” Then, it is cried to them – “Behold the Heaven before you! You inherit it for the goodness you have worked and done previously!”

7:45 à Those who would hinder men from the path of Allah and wishes them to go astray, -- they are the disbelievers of the Hereafter and also who denies the Hereafter!

7:51-52 à and those who took their religion as mere amusement and play (as a casual lifestyle/fashion kind of thing – like taking religion for a sport and pastime), and were deceived by the life of the world, -- hence, on the day of Judgment (Kiamat), We shall forget them as how they forgot the meeting of this Day and as they used to deny (reject) Our signs (words of God) that We had certainly sent to them - a Book based on knowledge in which We explained in detail, - a guide and a mercy to all believers.

Alright, that’s it for today before I continue to go on writing anymore. I don’t want to bore my readers with lengthy posts as I know how busy everyone is these days. However, just a piece of advice; no matter how occupied you are, remember Him. Always remember and MAKE TIME FOR HIM as HE MAKES TIME FOR THOSE WHO MADE TIME FOR HIM! And vice versa.

aseef jiddan if I had made any wrong choices of words (please correct me if there’s something utterly wrong. I admit I’m an amateur in Islamic knowledge)

Wallahu’alam.
