THE TREASURES FROM BENEATH THE THRONE

"On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray: ) “Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You laid on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith." (Surah 2: 285-286)

These 2 priceless verses from the Quran would hardly take 10 minutes to memorize off by-heart, but it will fill your life with goodness, both in this world and the Aakhira, In sha Allah. 

1. It is reported on the authority of Ibn Mas’ud from Rasoolillah Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam that he said: “Whoever recited the last two verses of Suratul Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.” [Bukhari]

2. It is reported on the authority of Abu Dharr that he said: “Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam said: “I was given the final verses of Surath Al-Baqarah from a treasure trove beneath the Throne; no Prophet before me was given them.” (Ahmad)


3. On the authority of ‘Abdullah, it is reported that: “When Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam was taken on a journey (to the seven heavens), he arrived at Sidrat al-Muntaha- a tree in the seventh Heaven and it is at the entrance to the seventh. All things which ascend from the earth stop and are held there as do all things which descend from above (It is with regard to this that).

Allah (SWT) said: “Behold! the Lote tree was shrouded with that which shrouds.” (Qur’an 53: 16) He (the narrator) said: “It (that which shrouded the tree) was (a covering of) golden butterflies.” He further added: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) was given three things: He was given five prayers, he was given the concluding verses of Surat Al-Baqarah and forgiveness of sins for those (of his community) who do not associate partners with Allah (SWT).” (Muslim)

4. It is reported from ‘Uqbah Ibn ‘Amir Al-Juhani (RA) that he said that Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam said: “Recite the last two verses from Surat Al-Baqarah, for I was given them from a treasure trove beneath the Throne” (Ahmad)

5. It is reported on the authority of Hudhaifah that Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam said: “We have been favoured over the rest of mankind with three things: I was given these verses from the end of Surat Al- Baqarah from a house of treasure located beneath the Throne: None before me has been given them, and they will not be given to anyone after me.” (Narrated by Ibn Mardawaih)

6. It is reported on the authority of ‘Ali (RA) that he said: “I do not consider it fitting for anyone who has understood Islam to sleep (at night) until he has recited AyatAl- Kursi-and the ending of Surat Al-Baqarah, for they are a gift to your Prophet Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam from the treasure which lies beneath the Throne.” (Narrated by Ibn Mardawaih)

7. It is reported on the authority of An-Nu’man Ibn Basheer from the Prophet Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam that he said: “Verily, Allah (SWT) wrote something two thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, then He (SWT) sent down from it two verses with which He (SWT) sealed (ended) Surat Al-Baqarah (the cow), and if they are not recited in any house for three nights, Satan approaches it.”
(Al-Hakim narrated it thus, and declared it authentic in accordance with the conditions of acceptance applied by Muslim)

8. It is reported from Sa’eed and Ibn ‘Abbas that they said that the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam used to laugh when he read the last verses of Surat Al Baqarah and Ayat Al- Kursi and he would say: “Verily, they are both from the treasure of Allah (SWT), which lies beneath the Throne.” And when he recited: “Whoever does evil will be recompensed accordingly.” (Qur’an 4: 123) And: (And that man will have nothing except what he strives for and that [the fruit of] his striving will be seen, then will he be rewarded with a reward complete.) (Qur’an 53: 39-41), then he would sit back, at ease.” (Narrated by Ibn Mardawaih)

9. It is reported from M’aqal Ibn Yasar that he said: The Messenger of Allah Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam said: “I was given Fatihat al Kitab and the closing (verses) of Surat Al-Baqarah from beneath the Throne…” (Narrated by Ibn Mardawaih)

10. It is reported on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that when Jibreel was sitting with the Prophet (SAW) he heard the sound of a door opening above and he raised his eyes to the heavens and said: “This is a door which has opened in the heavens which has never been opened before.” And an angel descended from it and came to the Prophet Sallalahu Aalaihi Wasallam  and said: “I bring you the good tidings of two Lights which have been given to you and no Prophet before you has ever received them: Fatihat al Kitaba and the final verses of Surat Al-Baqarah; you shall not recite a single letter from them except that it (the reward of the recitation) will be given to you.” (Narrated by Ibn Abi Laila)

Every bit of knowledge comes with a responsibility, so make sure that you share the virtues of the last 2 verses of Surah Baqarah with your family and friends. May the Love, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be forever in your lives!

JOURNEY TOWARDS PEACE & SELF RESPECT

GUEST POST : Sister Ayesha's amazing Niqab story:

I started wearing Niqab when I was 16 years old. In the beginning, my parents were very happy.When I decided, by the Grace of Almighty Allah, to observe Niqab (Pardha) from all non-mahrams in my family as well, my whole family- parents,uncle & aunts suddenly turned against me.They tried to convince me that it is very difficult, and you can’t become a doctor & no one would like to marry you.

I like to mention here that I live in Islamic country. My aunts thought that I did it just to stay away from the family.But Allhamdullilah, Allah gave me courage to stand against all these hardships. Still my family has the same thinking about my Niqab but I don’t care. I only care about Who gave me hope when everyone left me. 

I got engaged 2 years back. But my in-laws keep on humiliating my Niqab. I keep quite but Allhamdullilah, I decided to end up this proposal for Sake Of Allah. Allhamdullilah, I am doctor now. I graduated from top merit university of Pakistan. I must say that I am not hardworking, but it just possible because of Allah’s Mercy. 

Allhamdullilah, now has been 9 years and I must say it's a great blessing indeed! It's a pride of a Muslim woman.
I like to share this that whenever I get stuck in a difficult situation, and I feel like it's difficult to face people, I offer 2 rakats Salat e Hajat, and Allhamdullilah everything settles down.

I also like to mention here that in my medical school, one of my professors insulted me in front of the entire class just because of my Niqab. On many occasions in my med school, I faced humiliation but these hardships strengthen your Eman.

My family still asks me why I can’t leave my Niqab for few months so that I could get married & then follow it. But I simply refused. I have strong Faith every thing will be fine one day, Inshallah.

May Allah help us in every difficulty of life & strengthen our Eman. We are here in this world for a test of our faith. In this world, it's not only all about blessings but also hardships which are just a test of our faith & we'll get rewarded in Jannah, InshAllah :) 

In short, what matters for a Muslim is Allah. If we have a strong a bond with Allah, this temporary world & its hardship doesn't matter at all :)

A MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN PICTURES UPLOADED ONLINE

Bismillahi Rahman ar-Raheem

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.” [Quran, 24:30]

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty….” [Quran 24: 31]

It's a bit disappointing to see people (men and women) having their pictures on the web. Particularly as profile pictures on social networking sites.

Be completely honest with yourself: Why do you want your picture displayed for everyone to see? Do you honestly think that it's an Islamic thing to do? On Twitter and Facebook especially, where people can get familiar with others very, very soon and the main reason behind intermixing is by the profile pictures. It's obvious that the picture you'd want to upload is one of the best shot you have of yourself and there's obviously going to be a possibility of strangers being attracted to your picture and if they do, you are responsible for their sinning too.

Islam has asked both men and women to lower their gazes & having pictures of yourself displayed is certainly not going to help others lower their gaze, and if they are attracted to your picture, it might be something Allah will be angry about. None of us would obviously want to be the reason behind Allah wrath, may Allah save us!

Sisters who have their pictures uploaded: It's a terribly dangerous thing to do. You have absolutely no idea how many feeling you may be arousing in the hearts of strangers. You are accountable for them seeing your pictures too. Do you think it's worth any risk?

Brothers who have their pictures uploaded: Women have eyes too, so they could obviously get attracted to you. In not having your picture displayed, you are in fact helping women to lower their gazes too.

Our Prophet Muhammad Sallalahi Alaihi Wasallam has said: "The Zina of the eye is the (lustful) look'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Again, actions depend on their intentions, so do it solely for the purpose of pleasing Allah and make the intention right now that you are going to take off any pictures you have uploaded and Allah will undoubtedly make your task easier for you, In sha Allah.

Remember that doing something even after knowing it's wrong is a mighty sin. Please take this bit of advice. It won't be difficult. After all, what is the point of having your pictures displayed for everyone to see? We all have to maintain modesty as much as we can, shouldn't we? This is a massive step towards the modesty of us, and modesty of all the Muslims too, In sha Allah.

Please share this message because if this is going to bring about a change in someone, you will be rewarded for it too by Allah's Grace. Knowledge is something that should be passed on, so please do let others know about this too.

May Allah accept all of us and give us the strength to control our desires and show us a clear distinction between what is right and wrong... Aameen!

If any one does a righteous deed, it is for the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against his own soul. In the end will you all be brought back to your Lord.” [Qur’an 45:15]

A SPECIAL MESSAGE ON WORLD HIJAB DAY

It's good to see a World Hijab Day, and it's good to see so many Muslims (and non-muslims) supporting this day. Although I'd rather there be no single or specific day to support the rights of Hijabi women all around the world, I must say that keeping out at least one day from the calendar for supporting Muslim women's right is to be lauded, particularly with all the hatred and prejudice that we Muslims have to suffer at the hands of Islamaphobes. 

We Muslim women wear the Hijab-both because it's a command and obligation upon us and also because we want to wear it and because we love wearing it. This in itself should be a sufficient reason for the Hijab haters to let us and our Hijab be, but no. They wouldn't rest until they see us taking our Hijabs off. But know this- We Muslim women in the Hijab wouldn't rest until we wear the Hijab without any harassment or abuse. You can try all you can to deprive us of our rights to wear the Hijab but we will not give in. We will fight for our Hijab, our need to wear it and our rights to observe it. Whatever you call our Hijab- be it oppression, subjugation, male-domination or whatever other baseless reasons you put forward to support your blatant attacks on the Hijab, you can never, ever take away our love for the Hijab and our pride in wearing it. 

Dear Hijab haters: It's not the Hijab that has oppressed us- it's your hatred towards it, your efforts in banning it and the abuse we Hijabis have to suffer at the hands of Islamaphobes that has oppressed us. Our Hijab hasn't cut us away from the world, it's you who have. Imposing bans, fines, prison sentences all for the crime of wearing an extra bit of cloth? How can you ever term as something oppression by judging it by merely a cloth on the head? Listen here: We Muslims are NOT oppressed by the Hijab. We are only liberated by it. If you have an ounce of consideration for the rights of women, please let us and our Hijab be.

Dear Hijabis: Be proud of yourself. You're doing what Allah has asked you to do. Don't let those Hijab haters get the better of you. Let them throw whatever insults they want at you- bear it patiently, for Allah with you. Even if the entire nation gets together to harm you with something, they wouldn't be able to do it without the leave of Allah and if Allah wants to protect you, even the whole nation cannot lay so much as a finger on you. You're wearing the Hijab because Allah has asked you to, so Allah WILL protect you from all sides. Have faith in Him. When Allah is with you, no one can harm you. 

So let us all stand together on this day, the World Hijab Day and always to stand up for our Hijab- our obligation, our rights, our liberation and our pride. Let us stand together and show the world that we WANT to wear the Hijab and all the attacks put forward by the Hijab haters is NOT going to deter us from our willingness to do what Allah want us to do. Let's show the world that we are all proud Hijabis and let us stand tall and proud as modest Islamic women fulfilling the command ordained by Allah. Now, go show the world that you are a Hijabi!

INTERVIEW: FROM FASHION MODEL TO MODEST MUSLIMAH

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

It's been a long time since I last blogged, but here goes a lovely interview with Sister Kasiya Higgins. This should have been put up on the blog even before Ramadhan, but I was a bit busy afterwards. Here's the interview anyway. May Allah make us all benefit from it, In Sha Allah!

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR LIFE BEFORE ISLAM

My life before Islam, was a life without purpose, chasing Dunya, and living a illusion. I was Christian, but wasn't really a practicing Christian since my 15 years old. I had my belief in Almighty God, but I was not satisfied with the answers I got,  priests used to tell me - you know, it's fine, don't worry, when you older you will understand; but as I grow I still couldn't understand. I wasn't satisfied and the all explanation of the Christianity belief was so confusing and just not enough and not rational to me, so I put it behind me, and from time to time when I remember, I used to say a word to God, before I fall asleep at night. And that was it. My life was full of Dua's that wasn't answered, but I was too blind to note that a statue or a cross obviously can't do a thing for me. 
I left home with 17 for traveling out of my country. Went to Milan, China and then Indonesia in a space of 1 year, and was in Jakarta where my life started changing. My heart was urging something, and I felt so lost and empty inside and I used to think of all the blessing I've got but I weren't satisfied because still there was some important thing that was not there. I realized I wasn't praying, I had nothing, no purpose, nobody to cry to, and I realized I needed God and I also realized that I didn't really know what was my belief. 
I was against religion, for me it was a thing used on people's mind to control them but then I came to know that a religion teaches you to reach God. I surrounded myself with Muslims, my boyfriend at that time reverted, and I came to see so much things, and understand so much, and I got so much love and understanding, and patience from Muslim people, who welcomed me in their houses not pointing fingers or judging me, such good and honorable character, and at same time I came to know the right belief in the oneness of Allah - which was choking because everything I had believed was a lie - and I realized that Allah has chosen ME, out of so much people in ignorance, He, the Lord of mankind and jinn and all that exist, allowed me to see the truth and called me to the religion He perfected Himself. 
Finally one day I decided to change, my Muslim family arranged everything, and Alhamdulilah I took my Shahada, 5 days after been a Muslim, I got married to my beloved, having the parents of our Muslim family, and the oldest brother and sister representing my parents and my husband's parents. And since then Alhamdulilah we striving together to became better as person and as Muslims.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO ACCEPT ISLAM?

What inspired me was the message itself, the Oneness of Allah; and the character of a true Muslim  the love, the patience, the understanding, the support I got from them. I also wanted to have my heart in peace, and a purpose of life, something to relief my grief and anxiety, and you can only have it if you have Allah. AllahHu Akbar.

WHAT IS THE GREATEST CHANGE YOU SEE IN YOURSELF AFTER YOU ACCEPTED ISLAM?

The greatest thing I see in myself after reverting to Islam, is that I strive each day to be better, to have self-control, to be grateful, to understand that nothing is going to happen if is not Allah's Will, and Allah has a reason behind every thing He does, and that He will not give you something you not able to handle, and besides it all, He is there 24/7 to listen to you, AND to answer you. He will either say yes or give you something better, and He will give it to you when it's best for you. You only have to try to respond to Him, be obedient for your own good and safety, seek work and the bounty of Allah, make the effort and keep dutiful to Him, and He will give you everything and pay you in full for every deed, even though He doesn't need you. Subahan'Allah. The best thing in been a Muslim is that makes you want to be better and strive for a good character.

ANY TIPS/ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO ANYONE OUT THERE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN ISLAM BUT ARE AFRAID OF ACCEPTING IT?

It's not easy to give advice but, if you are really thinking to change, it's because your heart is telling you that you need Allah in your life, and you can only have Allah if you listen to Him and embrace Islam. If you are thinking of changing it's because you believe in Almighty God, Who created you. You fear people, but what can they do for you when you have the Lord, your Creator by your side, calling you, choosing you to be on the right Path. You really have nothing to fear. Know that difficulties will come and will hurt you, but it's worth because Allah sees it all and He will reward you for obeying Him. He will comfort you, and in the end of all, everything you fear will perish and Allah is the only One to remain and the only One Who can be there for you.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST VERSE OF THE QURAN YOU READ AND HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU?

I don't really remember because I started reading the Qur'an from cover to cover and was a very high English so I could only understand the main message of the Qur'an. But the one real open eyener for me is: "Know that the life of this world is only but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. (It is) as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers - evil doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasures (for the believers good-doers). And the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." Surah 57. Al- Hadid verse 20

A WORD OF ADVICE AND CONSOLATION TO NEW REVERTS TO ISLAM

The greatest consolation for a revert is the Promise of Allah. He forgives you, He helps you, and He rewards you. People will judge and hurt you, and the oppression of your family really gets you and puts you down. They say and do things that tear your heart in pieces and specially because they are deprived of Allah's message makes your more sad and hurt inside your heart, but it will calm down. They can do nothing - you just have to give it sometime and they will carry on with their lives and get used to the fact that no matter what they don't have a say in your decision. It's hard but Allah makes easy for those He wants, for those Who striving for His sake. Allah doesn't let any deed go wasted. Just believe Him, seek His help, trust Him and things will naturally fall into its right place.


ANY ADVICE FOR SISTERS WHO DON'T WEAR THE HIJAAB YET?

First of all Hijaab is a command. You must make Dua to Allah put it into your heart and make it easy for you, and make the intention to start wearing it. Things does get time to change, you must change gradually so you won't get tired and leave it all behind. If you accepted and you claim to believe, know that Allah only tell you to do it because He is the All-Wise. The Hijaab is your protection from evil, protection from harm by sick minds of man out there, and it's a great gift from Allah.
Alhamdulilah it was something much great for me, and it does not deprive you of having a social life. You can start cutting off the use of short and tight clothes, if you cannot start wearing full Hijaab at once, make a change, start wearing long shirts, with not so tight jeans, cover yourself with long and loose pants and long skirts, long sleeves shirts, and then you try the Hijaab on, then you move on to a Hijaab and Abaya. And change your behavior also if you have male friends - don't shake hands or give hugs, don't talk with them for long and unnecessary things, don't keep on chatting to them on your phone or social pages as twitter and facebook, start lowering your gaze. That's how I made my change, slowly but surely. In the process, keep making Dua and intention, and your mind will naturally start to set up on that way In Shaa Allah and then when you get into Hijaab, ask Allah to straighten your heart to be obedient to Him and allow you to keep on doing it all.

WHAT IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF "FREEDOM OF WOMEN" AND IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU THINK MUSLIM WOMEN ARE MOST LIBERATED?

The real definition of 'Freedom of woman' is to go wherever she wants, without being annoyed by strange men, have the rights to study, have the right to work if she wants, have the right to earn her money and do whatever she wants with it, have the right to been supported and protected, and the greatest freedom is to cover yourself knowing that you ARE beautiful and you don't have to prove it to people. You are covered BECAUSE you are beautiful, and you want to protect yourself from envy, jealousy and physical and emotional abuse by other people. That's the real freedom, people must deal with your brain, and not with your look, and that is so beautiful Subahan'Allah.

HOW TO BENEFIT IN RAMADHAN EVEN DURING MENSES

Dear sisters, don't feel sad or deprived if you are unable to pray or fast during the month of Ramadhan. Realize that Allaah has decreed for all women to have menses. It's not just you. All women have to go through this. And when the time for it comes, it comes. 
Dear sister, never forget that Islaam means submission....submission to Allaah and His rules. Submitting to His rules IS Ibaadah. And it was Allaah Who ordered you to stop praying and fasting in the first place. So when you give up praying or fasting during your menses, realize that you are obeying Allaah and worshipping Him by submitting to His Orders. Realize that not praying or fasting during your menses is Ibaadah itself.

1. Read the meanings and tafseer of the Qur'aan:

Pick up a good tafseer of the Qur'aan and read it. There is no Tahaarah required for it. Reflect on the words of your Rabb, ponder over the meanings and understand what Allaah is saying to us. These ayaat,my sister, are not there just for us to read; rather to interact with them, and implement them in our lives. Allaah says:"(This is a) Book that We have sent down to you, full of blessings, so that they may ponder over its aayaat, and that those of understanding may remember."[Surah Saad:29]
 
2. Listening to the Qur'aan:

There's nothing like listening to a beautiful recitation of the Qur'aan, especially at times when you are feeling down, such as because of your period. It fills the heart with such tranquility, such peace that no words can describe. It increases Imaan and brings you great rewards since listening to the Qur'aan with an attentive heart is an act of Ibaadah in itself.

3. Do a lot of Dhikr:

Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allaah, when you are on your period and when you are not. There is nothing like it. It is one of the most beloved deeds to Allaah and His Messenger (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) and gets you tremendous rewards. And yet, it's so easy, Alhamdulillaah.

The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said:"The uttering of the words: "Subhaan Allaah, Alhamdulillaah, La ilaha illAllaah and Allaahu Akbar' is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.''(Muslim)
 
4. Make lots and lots of Dua:

Ramadhaan is the month of blessings, mercy and forgiveness. He is the Giver and we are in desperate, desperate need of His Mercy, His Kindness, His Blessings and His Forgiveness.
So go ahead and make dua, lots and lots of it; for dua is one of the best acts of Ibaadah.
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said, “Dua is ‘Ibaadah (worship).” (Tirmidhi-saheeh by Albaani).

5. Do plenty of Istighfaar:

My sister, Ramadhaan is THE month of repentance.
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said: "Jibreel said to me, `May he be destroyed, the person who Ramadan comes and his sins are not forgiven,' and I said, Ameen'....." (Saheeh al-Jaami')

Subhaan Allaah! What better a chance to have your sins forgiven than this? Now is your chance. The gates of Jannah are open and the gates of Hell are shut, and the sinners’ repentance to Allaah is accepted. So don't let this chance go by just because you are on your menses. Make sincere repentance to Allaah
 
6. Send blessings upon the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam):

Send blessings upon the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) in abundance as this is one of the greatest means of having duas answered, and is a great way of earning rewards from Allaah
"Allaah and His angels praise and venerate the Prophet (Muhammad). O you who believe! Praise and venerate him (Muhammad) and pronounce peace upon him in abundance." (al-Ahzaab:56).”

7. Thank Allaah:

All Praise is due to Allaah Alone, Who gives His sinful slaves a chance to earn multiple rewards, have their sins forgiven and their duas accepted.  It is He Who made you Muslim, enabled you to live to witness Ramadhaan and Who give you the opportunity to worship Him. And even having your period is a reason for you to give thanks to Him.
 
8. Seek knowledge:

Seeking Islaamic knowledge is one of the best forms of Ibaadah and a great source of blessings and rewards. It is the way that leads to Jannah. The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said:
"He who embarks on the path of seeking knowledge, Allah will ease for him the way to paradise." (Muslim)
 
9. Give charity:Ibn Abbas RA said: “The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) was the most generous of the people, and he used to be even more so in the month of Ramadan....he would be more generous than a swift wind (bringing rain).”(Bukhaari)

So give and give and give for the sake of Allaah during this month.
 
10. Do all kinds of good deeds:

Ibaadah just isn't about praying and fasting. It's also about how you deal with people and doing all kinds of good deeds. So you can earn rewards and worship Allaah in your menses by serving your parents, keeping up the ties of kinship, being kind to everyone, giving dawah, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong,
etc. etc.


Hope this helped and make the best of these remaining few days and do not let shaythan confuse you or make you feel inferior in good deeds because you are on your menses for this is a way of him stopping you from pleasing Allah. Please remember me in your dua's to.

And Allah knows best in all matters 

INSPIRATION FROM THE QURAN

I read this post online, and it really goes on to say how beautiful the Quran is. It's a complete guide... a way of life! Subhanallah!

The Qur'an adjusted your voice by saying: “and lower your voice”. It controlled the pace that you walk in by saying “And be moderate in your walking”. It managed what you look at by saying “And strain not your eyes”. It controlled your hearing by saying “and spy not”. The Qur'an controlled your diet by saying “eat and drink but waste not by extravagance”. Such a book can easily manage your whole life and make you the happiest person on Earth. Give it a chance and you will see!
