Pushed to Pray
Justify the words
“Whenever you wish to say or write something, think to yourself that I need to present these words in court. If you are able to justify the words, then say them – otherwise, remain silent.”
Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani
Value Ilm
There are two ways of recognizing how to value and appreciate ilm,
(1) Become a seeker of knowledge (taalibe ilm).
(2) Do not restrict this knowledge to knowing only.
Mufti Mohammed Shafi (r.a.)
Pleasing Allah – Recite Qur’an
“The author of a book would be pleased to see you reading it and would pay attention to you. The Glorious Qur’an is the book of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ, He turns towards the one who recites it and becomes pleased with him.”
Hazrat Maulāna Ashraf ʿAlī Thānwī رحمه الله
Balance in Love & Hate
Sayyiduna Umar (RA)
“Do not let your love be obsessive and do not let your hatred be destructive; When you love, do not go to a level of obsession as a child does with the things he loves, and when you hate, do not hate in such way that you want your opponent to be destroyed.
Allah’s Love & Mercy
Allah still loves and shows mercy to those who disobey Him, so imagine how much He loves those who obey Him.
Increase in Seeking Forgiveness
“Increase in seeking forgiveness in your homes, at your tables, on your pathways, in the marketplaces and in your gatherings and wherever you may be, for you do not know when the blessings/forgiveness of Allah will descend.”
Hasan Al Basri (Rahimahullah) [Shu’abul Iman: 647]
Good Teachers
Worshipping all year round
Businesses thrive in the holidays but they are still open all year round, as they need to earn a living.
Muslims thrive in Ramadan but they still worship all year round, as they need to earn Jannah.
Shaykh Dawood Seedat
