Taqwa is not only in our manners..Taqwa is not about looking islamic...Taqwa is not about sporting a beard or wearing a Hijab...Taqwa is not appearance
BUT
Taqwa is when you miss a single prayer, you feel uneasy the whole day...
Taqwa is when you speak a lie , your instinct feels bad..
Taqwa is the guilt that follows when u hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly, Taqwa is the shame and regret that follows a sin you did knowing fully well about it's stand in the sight of Allah,
Taqwa is when you cannot sleep the whole night after disobeying or disrespecting your parents
Taqwa is to cry in the depths of night fearing none but the one above the Arsh. Taqwa is the fear that refrains us from sinning even when we are alone and nobody is looking...
Taqwa is the guts and the will to please Allah, even when the whole world is hell bent on displeasing Him...
Taqwa is to wear that beard and Hijab for the sole reason of pleasing Our Rabb and to keep it as per sunnah....
Taqwa is to stay happy and smiling even after knowing this world is a prison for believers...
Taqwa is the good manners and character that loving and fearing Allah brings in us...
Taqwa is the struggle to better yourself according to Islam with each passing day...
Taqwa is not only about rising in deen, it is more about falling but again rising up and never letting go...
Taqwa IS ALL ABOUT WHAT LIES IN THE HEART
And if this heart is filled with proper Taqwa, then actions automatically follow...And the sweetness of these actions are so much better..Alhamdulillah
REMINDER!!!
A match is 90 minutes
A tv series is 60 minutes
A movie is 180 minutes
Salat is 5 minutes
Jahannam forever
Jannat forever
Be smart to contemplate:
300 friends on whatsapp.
80 on the phone
50 friends in the neighbourhood.
In times of need 1 Friend
Funeral, family only
In the grave, alone
don't be surprised this is life.
Verily only your salat will benefit you.
If you find dust on your Mushaf.
Weep for yourself
For whoever stopped reading Qur'an
For 3 days
-
Is called quitter
NB: You are not forced to share.
But as Allah SWT says:
Remind, for reminder benefits the believers
Strange world:
Janazah after janazah as storms. Death after death
So and so died in car crash. Others from disease
Others walking and fell dead
All of them left life behind
And we buried them
Surely my day and your day will come.
You who delay tawbah for you are young.
Sorry it's not written on the graveyard FOR THE OLD ONLY
Life is only 3 days long:
Yesterday - Lived and never comes back
Today - We live and wont last
Tomorrow - we don't know where we will be.
So greet. Forgive and be charitable
For me, you and them will all leave...
Oh Allah we ask you a good ending. Grant us jannah. Protect us from jahannam. Ameen
Brother/sister, if you grow up doing something you will die doing it and if you die doing something you will be resurrected doing it.
If you read this post and you gained, it's reward... and if you share it, you spread it benefits.
Interesting stuff:
Streets - Busy
Market - Busy
Bank - Busy
University - Busy
Cafe - Busy
Restaurant - Busy
Stadium - Busy
Masajid -Empty
My advice is ensure you read the Quran everyday even if it's a verse may Allah reward us abundantly Ameen.
Allah sees you sharing it.
Oh Allah whoever sends out bestow on him your bounties from where he doesn't expect and doesn't know. Ameen!

Amin
