Indeed, We created humans in the best form. But We will reduce them to the lowest of the low ˹in Hell˺, except those who believe and do good—they will have a never-ending reward. Now, what makes you deny the ˹final˺ Judgment?
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah . He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
Aku ingin hubunganku seperti kedua orang tuaku, yg selalu bangun di sepertiga malam terakhir lalu membangunkan satu sama lain untuk kemudian melakukan sholat malam bersama-sama. Sederhana tetapi merupakan pemandangan sangat amat romantis yg pernah kulihat seumur hidupku..
{The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be!" - and it is.}
Thinking about this ayah today. Wondering and marveling over how everything, every single thing, from the tiniest grain of sand to the largest of planets, is in His hands. He made them. He commanded them to be, and they were.
All my worries and plans seem silly and trivial in the face of His utter, complete, all-encompassing greatness. How could I ever think I could plan my life and make my stupid little schedules without seeking his guidance and depending on his strength? Did I not know how horribly weak I was? Did I really think I could muster up enough “self-confidence” and “discipline” and “motivation” all on my own, and then “make my dreams come true”?
Since when am I the one who decides and decrees? Since when am I the one who wields the power to make my dreams come true? Me, who can’t even go two nights without sleep? Me, who needs food and water regularly to live? Me, small, weak, and fragile me.
I am nothing without Him. I would never be here if He hadn’t commanded me to be. Every cell in my body is in His hands.
Ya Allah, forgive my arrogance, my ignorance, my naivety. Ya Allah, I lean on you for every beat of my heart. Forgive me.
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you ˹all˺ on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”
Tawheed is to knowing, believing, declaring, obeying the oneness and uniqueness of Allah. The Oneness of Allah i.e. Tawheed consists of three parts. (i) Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Lordship). (ii) Tawheed al-Asma-Was-Sifat (Maintaining the Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes). (iii) Tawheed al-Ibadah (maintaining unity of worship). Allah is the only 'true Lord'. In all matters related to Allah, Allah is One, Sole, Final, Perfect and without partners. He has no peer or equivalent. Allah is to be known by His most beautiful Names and Perfect Attributes. From the first man and the first Prophet Adam (a.s.) to the last Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the basic call of all prophets and messengers was 'La ilaha illAllah' (there is no 'true God' but Allah). Namely: 'La Ilaha IllAllah Adamu Shafiullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Nuhun Naziullah'', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Ibrahim Khalilullah', 'La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah'.
Tawheed - The first call of the Messengers Rejecting Taghut is the root of Tawheed.
URGENT: PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE TO HELP AYA AND MOHAMMED EVACUATE GAZA
They are very close to reaching the short term goal of €14,000! Please donate so that they may meet it soon, and the complete funding of €20,000.
Below is a message from Aya, describing her story in Gaza.
Hi everyone, this is Mohammed and this is Ayah. We're reaching out to you today because we need your help rebuilding our lives in Gaza.
Me and Aya were recently engaged July last year and we were planning to have our wedding in February as a ceremony of our love.
As many of you know, the recent conflict caused a lot of devastation here. Our home were we supposed to get married was unfortunately damaged in the bombings, leaving us with nothing.
At the beginning of the war I had to flee the fighting early on, searching for safety for me and my family. It wasn't the first time we had to run for our lives. We were forced to leave everything behind and make the difficult journey south, Me and Mohammed stayed apart for three months as he stayed in the north.
While I tried to stay strong and hold onto our home in the north, the situation became unbearable. First I flee my home for another one seeking safety, then the army got into the place we flee to, I was arrested and tortured by the occupying army.
For 20 days I didn’t know anything about Mohammed, with all my trials to contact ICRC, I wasn’t to able to get any info about Mohammed’s place.
After 20 days I was released in Rafah, where Aya have been displaced and we were blessed to gather after months of being apart, I was tortured and humiliated for this period, and now I am apart from my mother and sisters who are still in the north.
We turn to you asking for your support, ple donate and help spreading the word, we’re trying to help our family to flee out of this horrible conflict and securing a safe place to live temporarily and secure basic necessities.
Our GFM is a supporting funding to what we have, the amount in need for s much more, even the smallest contribution will make a huge difference for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion and support.
Again, your support is necessary so that Aya and her fiancee can stay safe. Every day that passes, the situation becomes more dangerous. Any donation counts, please give what you have to spare.
Quantity isn't as beloved to Allah as quality is. Thats why He made Surah al Ikhlas eqivalent to one third of the Quran. So this Ramadan, don't over burden youself with lots and lots of worship that tires you out and secretly makes you wish Ramadan was over. Pick one or two good deeds for extra worship and do them wholeheartedly, every day. Read a few pages of the Quran. Read the translation of a few ayahs. Pray two rakah of tahajjud. Give a few dollars in charity. Help your family. Be kind. No matter how "small" the deed is–Be sincere and consistent.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.” [Ibn Majah]💌🌙
