What He values

At times,
when we start pondering on how complicated and worthy our lives have become, stuffed with unanimous responsibilities and work loads, bright with the various colours we try to fill it up with,
lets just keep in mind, does Allah value them?

Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.
For You are the Almighty

Of time and its complexities.

Can $70.00 dollars buy a week??


Ya Allah.These weaknesses, strengthen me with them.

And when Musa met Harun.

Who was Harun AS? And who was he to Musa AS?
Many authorities agree, that the prophet Musa and prophet Harun where brothers. Blood brothers.
And when Musa AS was given the mission to meet Fir'aun..
this time to stop his ignorance, to spread the truth, to end his cruel reign, to remind him of who he really was in front of Allah..

"Go to Fir'aun! Verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience, and has behaved as an arrogant, and as a tyrant)."

Musa asked Allah that his dear beloved brother..Harun, would be with him, so that things would be much smoother for him. Musa said..

"O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness). And ease my task for me. And make loose the knot (the defect) from my tongue, (remove the incorrectness from my speech). That they understand my speech, And appoint for me a helper from my family, Harun, my brother; Increase my strength with him, And let him share my task (of conveying Allah's Message and Prophethood), That we may glorify You much, And remember You much, Verily! You are of us Ever a Well-Seer."

MasyaAllah..those words.."Harun, my brother; Increase my strength with him"
think about it for a moment..
When we're alone and in much need of company, aren't the ones closest to us; the ones we love the most, considered the strongest support we could have.
Just imagine, when you're in the heat of exams, and stress starts building up..
who do you call?? your parents rite!!
erk..no?? ahh, then there's something wrong there mate..

So the point here is Musa asked for Harun, because he really needed Harun, and for him Harun was the best support he need. And surely Musa loved Harun.
So now, if WE were like Musa, how much effort have we put in ensuring that the ones closest to us share our understandings, feel what we feel, know our tasks and ready to support us.
Believe me, those closest to us, those who once grew along with us, would be the most supportive when they understand.
So look around you, family, friends, classmates, roommates, work buddies, those that you love, they are really just waiting for you to tell them, its just that you never did. And pray, do pray. Ask that Allah shows them the way..because there is no one who knows better than Allah


Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.
For You are the Almighty

It all starts with something small.

These sins, they always start as something small..then comes the ignorance of letting it grow, feeling that its harmless. And then you stop moving. You feel useless. You give up. Futur

Ibn Mas'ud once said:
A faajir sees his sin like a fly, thinks he can wave it away, anytime.
A mukmin sees his sin like a mountain, fearing it as though it will crash on him, anytime.
Fear your sins, no matter how small it is.

Ya Allah.Strengthen me.Guide me from this rest

Incapable

This's gonna be brief, coz though everything's settled, i' ve actually assigned some house tasks for myself to be done, so im not gonna waste time thinking for what to write.

But there is this thing that i really want to share, it was picked up from a conversation with my mom.
She said;
Remember, Allah says in the Quran:

"Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity"

 

Now for what reasons this ayah was lined out to me is not to be shared, but what this ayah is about will be.
So as i started pondering on this verse, i came across some things people questioned. Things like;
Whatever the difficulties come on me, i have to bear it?
Because it was fated onto me?
Because though it is such a burden, it is within my capacity?
Can't run away from fate?

Now i know, everyone would have passed through a time when hale and storms brewed in their hearts, it is undeniable. Even if you look at the happiest man on earth (though i don't think one was ever elected), he would still have gone through hardships in life. It is unavoidable. The fitrah of us humans.

But the extent of the hardships? That is subjective. Some are tested with hardships their whole life, some for a day, some for months. But wherever there is hardship, there is always happiness that would come following. This sequence is actually a reminder. A reminder that Allah wants us to benefit this ease for good before it gets hard, as said by our beloved prophet pbuh:

"Take advantage of five before five: your life before your death, your health before your illness, your free time before becoming busy, your youth before your old age and your wealth before your poverty."

Sorry, but that was kinda out of topic, but if ur interested, ive already posted it once a time ago here.

Whatever the hardships are, no matter how hard you are tested, you would know that u are always capable of going through it. Or would i? Could i just keep saying its possible? That i'm fine? That i could go through it?

For example, something you worked on for years, ended with nothing. 

Can you just keep saying, 'owh its fine, im good.' Im sure you would be cryin your hearts out. YEARS paid for nothing. Nothing.

Now this is a test on you. 

Now this is within your capacity. 

Now this was fated on you.

WHAT? So why did i even start if it was gonna end like this? Fated? Isn't it too much? And if i just can't stand it, where does 'within you capacity' come in?

So what does 'la yukallifullaha nafsan illa wus'aha' really mean??

Now, now..be brief..i said it was gonna be brief, but somehow in tryin to build the atmosphere and understanding of the situation i bragged quite alot didn't i. So i apologise, and the answer will be brief.

There's two things i understood from this verse that would fade all doubts.

1) Fate is, to do it, and ask that Allah makes good out of it. If it turns out bad, then He knew it would turn out bad. If it went good, He knew too. Me? I just did it, because i didn't.

2) Within our capacity, is never what we thought was our capacity. We knew nothing about ourselves. Our capacities, capabilities, limits. He knew. Not us. Him. So if He says it is within capacity, then it sure is.

Just believe, because He knows us.

P/S: These tests, they make us stronger. We'll surely pass, if only we tried to see.

Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.
For You are the Almighty

This sickness. May it be for forgiveness.
Ya Allah guide me, guide me, guide me.
