Dear Brothers & Sisters,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ To The Muslim Ummah... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I pray you woke up this morning with a big smile on your face.

Prayed al-Fajr and read your Qur'aan to start your day. I hope your breakfast was warm and tasted healthy and you are smiling with contentment, and family members wished each other a cheery good morning ... and peace in your abode. I Pray today, is filled with lovely surprises and friends call you just to say 'Salaam' . . . and your loved ones tell you ..... 'we are praying for you'. I Pray you feel on top of the world with a spring in your step all the time thinking of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala's Gracious and Merciful Blessings upon you ..........

I Pray everything goes your way. Inshallaah everything is well with your world, a place for everything and everything in it's place .......... I Pray you enjoy all you do ... in complimenting Islam by the way you feel when you read the Holy Qur'aan and benefit from Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala's teaching to your heart's content ......

I also Pray, Inshallah that ........... If you have a bad day at work, be thankful to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. Appreciate that you have a job. Some people don't. When you pay your bills, be thankful you can pay them. If you see a gray hair, be thankful. Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who wish they had hair on their head ...........

When you find yourself waiting in line or the recipient of poor service, be thankful.Many don't have services. Think about the people who have no food to eat and are hungry all the time .......... When you realise how much work it is to take care of a house, be thankful you have a home. Think about those who are homeless and wish they had a home to take care of ..........

When you feel like complaining because you have to walk a long distance from your car, be thankful . Think of what it would be like not to be able to walk! If you get irritated by other people's anger, apathy, ignorance, bitterness, or insecurities, be thankful. Things could be worse. You could be one of them! When you think everything in your world is terrible, and you want to give up, think of the people who have been told they only have a certain amount of time to live. They don't want to give up.

So, I Pray you have a perfect day . . . and that every day is just as wonderful in it's own way, and in shaa'Allaah you will be blessed with all you prayed for yourself . . . and those dear and close to you. I Pray that your Iman is firm and true ... and at the end of each day, to thank Allaah Almighty for all His Blessings and Mercies, but most of all to ...........
~ be thankful for Allah Ta'aala's Presence in your life ~ Waking up this morning, being alive ... is Allah Ta'aala's blessing to you. ~ Alhamdulillah ~ May Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala's Blessings and Grace surround you with happiness, peace, harmony, contentment, prosperity and good health and the Noor of the Holy Qur'aan fill your heart and soul. May the Truth of Islam bring unity in our Ummah and may peace in this world prevail.

May Allaah Ta'aala accept your siyaam, qiyaam and ibaadahs. This is my du'aa for all of you always ~ Aameen

Have a blessed day of Jummah!

Never Look Down On Anybody
Unless You Are Helping Them Up

Don't Get Too Attached

When I describe it, you'll be able to visualize it. I'm certainly not the first person who has observed it. But there is a lesson in it we both may have overlooked. There are some children on a beach. They're playing at the edge of the water. Giggling. Building sand castles. They seem so intent on the project. You get amused at how meticulous and careful they are with crumbly corners and tiny turrets. The looks on their faces as they screw their mouths around and stick out their tongues in earnest concentration are priceless. Then a big wave starts to close in! But the kids don't panic. They do the strangest thing. They jump to their feet, scream with excitement, and watch the waves wash away their creations. There is no hysteria. No sadness. No bitterness. Even little children know the fate that awaits sandcastles. So they are neither shocked nor angry when the tide comes in.

You and I should be so wise. The stuff of this world is about as permanent as sandcastles on a beach. Yet we get so caught up in it, defensive over it, and depressed over the loss of it. But Allah (swt) didn't create you for this world. Your destiny is not bound up in cash and bonds, land and houses, monuments and fame. Living to be a hundred years old is far less important than living well - Even if for a relatively short time. Beautifying your body is not nearly as urgent as living with a pure heart before Allah (swt).

Children know that their castles in the sand are brief joys destined to be taken away by an incoming tide. So they don't fret as the waves approach. They typically watch their creations get swept away without shedding tears.Everything about this life is so transient. The incoming wave of our mortality is going to sweep it all away.

Like sandcastles at the edge of the ocean, nothing we do for the sake of this world can survive. Only what you do here for eternity will last. Only the treasures you send ahead will escape corruption.What would the loss of your job or business do to you? What if your house were to go up in smoke tonight? What if a pain sent you to the doctor and led to the discovery that you have only a few weeks to live? These things really do happen to people, you know. We are all vulnerable. We are all quite mortal. Everything about our existence here is about as enduring as sandcastles.Life is Allah (swt)'s gift. Revel in every good thing. Enjoy your castles in the sand. Just be careful not to let yourself get unduly attached to any of them

Oh Allah, grant my friends and family what I wish for myself...

Jummah Dawns Upon Us

As-Salaamu-Alaikum

A little about the History of Jummah:

Friday prayers are mandatory for Muslims. Muslims prepare for Friday prayers like its a day of Eid or great Happiness. A happiness so profound that Jews and Christians cant even imagine on Saturdays and Sundays, their holy days. But why is Friday so Special?
O

f all the days of the week, the day of Jummah was chosen by Allah to be the greatest and the most special for Muslims. "O you who believe! When the call for Salaah is made on al -Jummah. hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave trading aside. That is better for you, if only you knew." [62:9] Some Ahadiths about Friday - Easy to remember and to share with others: Al-Jummah used to be called "Urubah". It was later renamed to "Al-Jummah", which in Arabic means "the day of gathering" because the body of Adam (a.s) was gathered (created) on this day. Allah guided all Muslims to hold their gatherings on Jummah before and after the Hijrah.

Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) said: Those before us were misled from al-Jummah. The Jews had Saturday and the Christians had Sunday.Then Allah guided us to al-Jummah, preceding Saturday and Sunday, as will be the case with the Muslims on the Final Day, when they will precede the Jews and Christians. We are the last of the People in the world and the first to be dealt with on the day of Judgment." (Muslim) Meaning: Their cases will be settled first in the court of Allah Subhana Talaa and non believers will have to wait and bear the hardships of the Day of Judgment for a very long time.

Kindly remember the Ummah of Nabi (saw), our Marhoomeen, the sick, weak, oppressed as well as my family & the sender in your Dua'as likewise we will do the same, Inshallah!
