Abu`d Darda –
” The complete form of[b] taqwa [/b]is to[b] fear Allaah[/b] so much that
one begins to fear Him [/b]from the[b] potential sin in a mustard seed and
until one leaves what might be halaal in the fear that it could be haraam.”

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
"Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has[b] one[/b] of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.

1. [/b]Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.

[b]2. [/b]Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

[b]3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner."

[Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 33]

The following recitation is only 7mins. 7min is a small time considering the fact we will get the prayer of 70,000 angels.
May Allah give us the blessing to do more Ibadah. Ameen.

[center]"Be content with what you have,
Be satisfied [/b]with your dwelling place to accommodate your enterprise,
[b]Restrain your tongue,
And shed tears of regret regarding past sins you committed knowingly,
and those you do not recognize."
(‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud )[/center]

What i mean is that we should try and live a life that's worthy of emulation, just like the life of the sa'haba. May Allah guide us aright

Ameen.

Ok i understand now what you meant. Yes you are right we should do strive for Allah as much as we can before we die.

Narrated by Hazrat Ibn 'Umar (RA) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
"All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those which are disclosed to the people.
For example a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public,
in the morning he says. "O so-and-so, I did such-and-such evil deed"
[Bukhari Hadith 980 Book 78 Chapter 60]

‎''if the body gets sick, it won't get benefit from food and drink &
so as the heart, when it gets sick because of[b] passion and fancy[/b], it won't get benefit from preachments,
The farthest heart from Allah is the hard heart. If the heart gets hard, the eyes get dry (they don't make tears)''

[Ibn Al - Qayeem]

olawalebab:
My dream in life is to live a life worthy of remembrance. Long after i have gone i'll love people to look back and remember me as someone that impact the world positively.

No offense bro, but this could land us in serious trouble. Never do any good deeds so that people will remember us. Even i didnt know about it until i came accross the following Hadith. Never care what people think about us, only thing that matters is what Allah thinks about us. He looks directly into our hearts.



Abu Hurayrah, who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say,
‘ Verily, the first to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be

  a man who had died as a martyr. He will be brought forward.
Allah will remind him of the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them.
Then He will ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for it?’
The man will reply: `I fought for Your Cause till I was martyred.’
Allah will say: `You have lied. You fought so that people might call you courageous; and they have done so.’
Command will then be issued about him and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.

     Next a man who had acquired and imparted knowledge and read the Qur’an [/b]will be brought forward,
Allah will remind him of the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them.
Then He will ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for it?’
The man will reply: `I acquired knowledge and taught it, and read the Qur’an for Your sake.’
Allah will say to him: `[b]You have lied. You acquired knowledge so that people might call you a learned (man), and you read the Qur’an so that they might call you a reciter, and they have done so.’
Command will then be issued about him, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.

     Next a man whom Allah had made affluent and to whom Allah had given plenty of wealth, will be brought forward,
Allah will remind him of the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them.
He will ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for it?’
The man will reply: `I did not neglect any of the ways You liked wealth to be spend liberally for Your sake’.
Allah will say to him: `You have lied. You did it so that people might call you generous, and they have done so.’
Command will then be issued about him and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.”
[Muslim]



May Allah save us from such weakness of our heart. Ameen.

The moderator, thanks for this thread, i see this thread just like this world. What'll people be saying after we are no more. What bro Olabowale and babs did when they were still active on NL still speak volume of them. What'll people say of us when we too "retire" from NL

Dont worry bro even if people doesn't notice, Allah who knows everything will notice the effort. And it is what matters the most and it is the only thing that matters.

olawalebab:
All the goods Allah enjoin us to do, we are not doing close to it, it's those things he forbid us that we keep doing, yet he still bless us, with all these what he require of us is just thanks. Alhamdulillah

Yes We take a lot of things for granted. We do not appreciate what we already have.
I had heard this in a Friday sermon: Once a person was travelling and came accross a man who was covered with a skin disease like leprosy. Also he has no home or shelter. But when he came close to him he heard him saying 'Alhamdullillah' repeatedly. The traveller asked the man why is he thanking Allah even though his is in a very bad situation. He replied that that town was filled with people who sinned and he is thanking Allah since he is still a Muslim.

Allah is the most Merciful, Alhamdullillah.

“This whole religion (Islam) revolves around knowing the truth and acting by it, and action must be accompanied by patience.”
-IbnTaymiyyah

Jazakallahu Khairan.

It is narrated that, Prophet SAW said :

"Allah is more merciful to us than a devoted mother is to her newborn child."

[Sahîh al-Bukhârî/5999 & Sahîh Muslim/2754]

"Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough."

[Umar Ibn Khataab R.A]
