How Do You Wish To Be Remembered?

Many have walked the face of the earth and are being remembered for either their good or evil. How do you wish to be remembered after death?

Are you among those who will do anything and everything to have this dunya and his totally indifferent to the provisions of the Hereafter?

Do you wish to be remembered as that handsome young man whose got wealth or do you wish to be remembered as a humble pious man?

Oh my sisters, do you wish to be remembered as that young seductive lady whose beauty was a subject of discussion or do you wish to be remembered as a pious, modest successful woman?

Are you the type that yearns for positive change and will work towards it by exemplifying it or do you just use such slogans with evil intentions to gain fame and popularity?

Hear this out: Whether we obey Allaah or choose not to, we gonna die one day and the world will not come to a standstill but it will amplify our goods or evils.

If it is your desire to please Allaah, then the presence of the kings and the rulers and the wealthy will not affect your taqwa.

Do you wish to be recognized as a celebrity without beauty and wealth? Then hold deen firmly and the angels will announce your piety.

Ya akhi wa ya ukhti? What are we? Who are we? What is our drive in life? What do we hope for when we die and what are we doing to achieve this hope?

Don't mortgage your Hereafter for a miserable price, the world and it's beauty is something that's perishable. Jannah is a non perishable good.

How do we treat those under our employment? Today we might the boss but we never can tell the heights Allaah is gonna take them tomorrow. 

The testimony of those under our employment in regards to our character is a true reflection of who we are. They gonna tell the world who we are when we die.

Imam Shafi'i said: "Some have died but their good character has kept them alive while others are still alive but their evil character has killed them."

Think and ponder over the reality of this world and you will come to the sudden realization that nothing is worth achieving if Taqwa (piety) is relegated to the tail end.

May our Kind and Generous Allaah unite us in Jannatul firdaus.

Insecurity and Its Causes

Amazing is the temperamant of an average man today, he is in need of Allaah and yet reluctant to move toward Him because his hope is in others.

There's no security in a friend who gives not sincere advice.

There's no security in an enemy whose hostility never ceases. And I ask how can you feel secured from sins if you obey Satan?

There's no security in a soul that's inclined to evil.

There's no security in human opinions, analogy, and discretion where Qur'an and Sunnah are abandoned.

There's no security when people's natures are corrupted, their hearts darkened, their understandings are confused and minds distorted.

There's no security when innovated matters (bid'ah) replace Prophetic traditions.

There's no security when nationalism, tribalism, class-ism replace the common fraternity of eeman among the Ummah.

There's no security when we start seeing good people as evil and evil people as good.

There's no security when knowledge is replaced with mere information.

There's no security when lies substitute truthfulness.

There's no security when those sitting beside the kings and the rulers flatter them instead of advising them.

There's no security when injustice has murdered and buried justice.

Evil has appeared on land and on sea because of the injustice of the wicked, evil doers.

Rapid decline in blessings, good deeds, the beasts have become powerless, life has become corrupted because of the wickedness of the wrong doers

The angels recording our deeds are inundated with the records of our evil deeds and wickedness of the wrong doers.

Atrocities have become supreme and piety is frowned at.

The last hour is fast approaching and man is heedless, consumed by material acquisition.

Man is boastful, competing with one another in amassing more and more and he's forgotten his Allaah.

The time to reflect upon the reality of Taqwa is now. REPENT NOW BEFORE YOUR SOUL BIDS YOU FAREWELL.

Is it the End?

Abdullah, a voice in me calls out, "What are you doing in this world wasting your time by not worshipping Allah mindfully?"

And I started thinking about that life after death and I asked my fake eeman: "How I'm I gonna fare before Allah?" It's so scary.

Each time I try to understand the benefits of dying a sinner, I fail miserably because there's none.

The thought of the situation of many now gone whom I once shared joys and sadness of life with makes me re-orient most of my thought pattern.

Remembering that family member and a friend that once spoke to me and now even the echoes of their voices has faded away, lost in the haystack of oblivion.

I fear the day my loved ones will hastily lower me in my grave and nay, neither shall they see what I will see nor hear what I will hear.

Days and lives have passed, memories established and on to Allah is my and your onward journey.

Get prepared before you are prepared for funeral.

Make Your Hay While The Sun Shines!

A wise man said: "The sea of pleasures may drown its owner and the swimmer fears to open his eyes under the water." In essence, just like a swimmer closes his eyes under the water as he enjoys swimming so is a man drowning in the sea of lusts.

Buy for yourself Paradise (through doing good deeds) while there is still a market(life) and you have the ability to buy (stregth and wealth).

Don't mortgage your Hereafter for a miserable price. Everything of this worldly life will lose its beauty. Nothing is permanent.

Allaah refers to the Day of Judgment as Yaumu at-Taghaabun (the day of mutual loss and gain-Loss for the disbelievers gain for the believers).

Nuh (AS) preached for close to a thousand years ending up with less than 10 followers for this Islam you are joking with today.

Ibrahim (AS) was thrown into the Fire because of this Islam you are treating with low interest. Can't you ponder?

Ismael (AS) was on the verge of being slaughtered for this Islam you don't wanna sacrifice your luxury for. Can't you talk to your soul?

Yusuf (AS) was sold for a cheap price and imprisoned for several years. All for this Islam.

Zachariya was sawed in half for this Islam. Can't you see that you haven't yet made any sacrifice for Islam?

Yahya (John) suffered distress because of this Islam.

Isah (Jesus) Was persecuted and rejected by the Jews for this Islam.

Muhammad (p) suffered poverty, persecution, exile, social and economic boycoot, wars, harms, all for this Islam. And you say you wanna enjoy your life?

If you do not work hard and face difficulties along your way in seeking glory, you will never taste honor and relief when you attain victory.

He who finds delight with people by advising and guiding them, cannot have more delight except in their company.

Much love from Abdullah Musa Abdul.

May Allaah unite us in Jannatul Firdaus.

Monitoring Our Hearts II!

Goodness is deeply rooted in our ability to know that whatever Allaah has willed will happen and whatever he does not will, will not happen.

Allaah will help us according to our intentions, persistence, desires and how much evil we avoid for His sake.

Success comes to those who supplicate Allaah, praise Him and resort to Him at all times.

The more cruel your heart is the more remote it is from Allaah, and the softer your heart the closer it is to Allaah.

Excessive food, sleep, talk, and socializing will increase the cruelty of your heart, hence do the opposite of these things.

If you want your heart to be pure you MUST prefer Allaah over and above everything, foremost of which is your desires.

The most tender, firm and pure hearts are those most beloved to Allaah for they are the vessels of true knowledge.

A heart that busies itself with worldly things will not have time to think about Allaah's Words.

If you would think about Allaah's Words and Verses, He would return your hearts with wisdom, benefits and knowledge.

If you allow complacency to grip your ego because of your apparent good deeds, you will become careless about Allaah&ruination will set in.

Starve your heart of the negative pleasures of this worldly life and Allaah will feed your heart with the positive pleasure of the Hereafter.

A sick heart gets cured when it seeks for Allaah's forgiveness and protection.

A rusty heart gets polished by remembering Allaah. Allaah's remembrance transcends beyond words, we have to internalize them.

A naked heart must cover its nakedness with piety, otherwise you and the custodians of nudity are the same.

A hungry and thirsty heart must nourish itself with knowledge, love, trust, and serving Allaah.

Trusting in Allaah, strengthens our eeman and makes us feel contented with what Allaah has decreed for us.

May Allaah guide us.
