Hadith

Narrated by Hazrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ud : Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, “He who repents of a sin is like him who has committed no sin.” ~ Al-Tirmidhi

…

Important aspects discussed in this Hadith :

• Turning towards Allah in humility, after having disobeyed Him or transgressed His limits.

•  Making Sincere Repentance (Taubah)

…

3 Necessary Steps which Complete the Acceptance of One’s Taubah with regard to Huququllah :

• Leaving the sin immediately.

• Feeling ashamed/regretful/remorseful over having committed the sin.

• Making a firm intention not to commit the sin again.

However, if, after some time, a person (who has made a firm resolution never to go back to the sin), suddenly slips and finds himself committing the sin again, then Sincere Taubah (repentance and forgiveness) should be sought again.. … Allah Ta’ala is Ghafurur Raheem (Most Forgiving, Most Merciful). He will Forgive!

When A Loss Occurs …

bismillahh

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere, Who say, when afflicted with calamity: “To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return” Surah Al-Baqarah 2:155/156

 

 ….  

In this world we may claim ownership, but in reality, everything belongs to Allah. Whatever Allah gives us, belongs to Him. Whatever Allah takes away, belongs to Him. Our lives, wealth, children, material possessions, all belong to Allah.

Everything has a fixed time and when its time expires, it returns to Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala.

We have to repeatedly remind ourselves, that we will go from this world taking nothing of the material possessions of this ephemeral world. We will depart with our hands bare!

The Believers will be Granted Light (Noor) on the Day of Qiyaamah

bismillahh

“On the Day when you will see the believing men and the believing women- their Light running in front of them and to their right hands, (it will be said to them): “Good News for you this Day! Gardens beneath which rivers flow! to dwell therein for ever! This is indeed the highest Achievement!” – Surah Al-Hadid 57:12

…

In Surah Al-Hadid, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala discusses, the condition of the believers and the hypocrites on the day of Qiyamah. He consoles and comforts the believing men and the believing woman, by bestowing them with glad tidings of immense Noor (light/effulgence) whilst the hypocrites shall remain in total darkness and chastisement, separated from the believers.

The intensity of the light that each Mu’min will have, will depend on the amount of A’maal-e Saalihah (good deeds) he or she has done in this world. The more A’maal e Saalihah you do in this world, the more greater and stronger will be your light on the day of Qiyamah.
