Self Realization

هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ - 61:9

It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it Ibn ’Umar (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 

“He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them.”

Mohammad (pbuh) was raised the best nation for mankind. The nation he raised cannot be led by others than his followers. Therefore, Muslim is not allowed to imitate non-Muslim in the religious-based habits, customs or festivals.

1. The prohibited imitation of non-Muslims.
2. The necessity of recognizing others and the benefit of participation.
3. Halloween is a celebration with pagan roots.
4. Do you exchange what is better for what is worse ?

The Harvest of Sadaqah ( Charity )

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ - 2:276

Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who gives in charity the value of a date which he legally earned, and Allah accepts only that which is pure, Allah accepts it with His Right Hand and fosters it for him, as one of you fosters his mare, until it becomes like a mountain." [Al- Bukhari and Muslim]

1. Giving charity will multiply your rewards.
2. It is a way to wipe out the believers sins.
3. The believer will be shaded by his sadaqah on the Day of Judgement.
4. The angels offer prayers on behalf of the Mutasaddiq ( charity giver ).
5. Successful is the one who got protected from the stinginess of his own soul.

Patience in the life of the prophet (pbuh)

“Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) as did the Messengers of strong will …”46:35

Patience is the essence of every and each good behavior.  A believer can not be truthful, obedient or merciful in the absence of patience.

Therefore, the prophet (pbuh) stated: 

“And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience." Sahih al-Bukhari

1. Mohammad (pbuh) was the best to endure patience and forebear the harm.
2. The death of his beloved wife Khadejah and caring uncle Abu Taleb.
3. The loss of his children in his life.
4. The restless life that he (pbuh) lived.

Jannah ( the Glorious Commodity of the Lord )

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one day to his Companions: 

‘Who will strive hard with sincerity for Paradise? For there is nothing like Paradise. By the Lord of the Ka’bah, it is sparkling light, sweet basil waving in the breeze, a lofty palace, a flowing river, abundant ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and many fine garments, in a palace of eternal abode, in ease and luxury, in beautiful, strongly-built, lofty houses.’ They said: ‘We will strive hard for it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Say: In sha’ Allah (if Allah wills).’ Then he mentioned Jihad ( striving for the sake of Allah ) and encouraged them to engage in it.” Sunan Ibn Majah- Book of Zuhd. 

1. Muslim should seek Allah’s satisfaction and ask him Jannah all the times.
2. The description of Jannah.
3. Believers will see Allah in paradise with their eyes.
4. What did paradise say after being ordered to speak?

The Strictness of our Hearts

The prophet (pbuh) stated that: “Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoil the whole body gets spoil and that is the heart.”

The heart occupies a great and eminent position in Islam. It’s the storehouse for Tawheed and Ikhlas ( Islamic Monotheism and Sincerity).

Bakr bin Abdullah al-Muzani Said: “ Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, didn't precede the companions by much prayers or additional fasting only but a well established thing (faith) in his heart.

1. Heart is the master of the limbs.
2. The ailments and the cures of the harsh hearts.
