THOUGHTS OF A BELIEVER

In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Assalamualaikum to all,

Having been blessed with so many things within a day or a week is a miracle and Alhamdulillah for that! 30th of September was one of my most favorite day i would say because of being able to really live as a Muslim within a day not worrying about those around you but your family .

Alhamdullilah i was given that opportunity by Allah SWT to live a day in a Muslim environment. You might be already thinking what am i rambling about but i was here in IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) for two days and MashaAllah! Great day and experience. Being able to sit with sisters, talking about Islam,being a Muslim well, i dont get this opportunity everyday.

You know the saying that goes your friends are who you are, being with the sisters here really lifted my imaan for that particular day! a million thanks to Allah SWT and sister Samira, Abeer and Anis for their lovely hospitality and love. i couldn't ask for more! in fact i wanted to stay over as long as i could. 

i have believed this one thing all my life living as a Muslim, da'wah is done through the actions of a Muslim itself than going on preaching about what Islam is and what's haram and halal. i see this in many of my closest friends and Alhamdulillah with this girls. We had a great time talking and sharing, praying jemaah together, eating and sleeping and Alhamdulillah such a blessing :) i really hope to be given the opportunity again inshaAllah.

Waalaikummusalam warahmatullah ~

Assalamualaikum to all,

I was reading this article from The Ideal Muslimah page in facebook and i thought this advice might be a great use for all of us. A person was asking about how to lift up his/her iman when he/she thought that they have followed everything right but still are not satisfied with the level of their iman. This is for us who wants to do extra :)….


1 – We advise you to read Qur’aan a great deal, listen to its recitation and ponder the meanings of what you read and listen to, as much as you can. If you find anything difficult to understand then ask the scholars in your country or write to other Sunni scholars for advice.

We also advise you to remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr) with the dhikrs narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth, such as “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (there is no god except Allaah)”, “Subhaan-Allaah wa’l-hamdu Lillaah wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah and Allaah is Most Great)”, and so on. For more information on this see al-Kalim al-Tayyib by Ibn Taymiyah; al-Waabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim; Riyaadh al-Saaliheen [available in English]; al-Adhkaar al-Nawawiyyah by Imaam al-Nawawi, and so on.

Remembering Allaah (dhikr) increases faith and brings peace of mind. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest” [al-Ra’d 13:28]

Regularly perform acts of worship such as prayer, fasting and the other pillars of Islam, whilst hoping for the mercy of Allaah and putting your trust in Him in all your affairs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The believers are only those who, when Allaah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur’aan) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone);

Who perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑ Salaah) and spend out of that We have provided them.

It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise).” [al-Anfaal 8:2]


2 – Faith is also increased by obeying Allaah, and it decreases when one disobeys Him. So adhere to doing that which Allaah has enjoined such as performing the prayers on time in congregation in the mosque, praying zakaah willingly to purify yourself of sin and show compassion towards the poor and needy, sitting with good and righteous people so that they will help you to apply sharee’ah and guide you to that which will bring you happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.

Avoid the followers of bid’ah and sinners, lest they tempt you and weaken your resolve to do good.

Do a lot of voluntary good actions, turn to Allaah, and ask Him for strength.

If you do that, Allaah will increase you in faith and you will make up for lost time, and Allaah will increase you in goodness and steadfastness in adhering to Islam.

Assalamualaikum to all,

I was reading through this article in Facebook yesterday and i just thought to share it with you guys~

When Mu’min enters into Jannah, it will be announced:-

You will remain healthy forever, disease will never come.
…You will remain alive for ever, death will never come.
You will remain in bounties which will never be finished.
Jannat is made with bricks of gold and silver, Its cement is of perfumed musk. Its chips are pearls and Yaqoot.Its sand is Zafraan.

There are eight doors of Jannah. these are eight grades of Jannat :

i) Jannatul Mava
ii) Darul Maqaam
iii) Darul Salaam
iv) Darul Khuld
v) Jannat-ul-Adan
vi) Jannat-ul-Naeem
vii) Jannat-ul-Kasif
viii) Jannat-ul-Firdous


Food of Jannah

They will eat foods and fruits continuously up to 40 years. Every bowl will have a new taste. They will take eructation which will digest the food and there will be perfumed sweating for the digestion of water. There will be no urine and stool.


Garden of Jannat

There will be gardens in Jannah. Every garden will have the length of about 100 years journey. The shadow of these gardens will be very dense.

Their plants will be free of thorns. The size of their leaves will be equal to ears of elephants. Their fruits will be hanging in rows.

Jannatul Mava is in the lowest, Jannat-ul-Adan is the middle and Jannat-ul- Firdous is on the highest. Those who-love each other for the sake of Allah, will get a pillar of Yaqoot, on which there will be seventy thousand (70,000) rooms. These will shine for the residents of Jannah as the sun shines for the residents of Duniya.

There will be rooms in Jannah in such a way that every room will have seventy thousands (70,000) dinning sheets. On every dinning sheet 70,000 types of foods will be served.

For their service 80,000 young boys will be moving around looking like beautiful scattered pearls.
One bunch of dates will be equal to the length of 12 arms. The size of a date will be equal to the big pitcher. These will be whiter than milk, sweater than honey and softer than butter and free from seeds. The stem of these plants will be made up of gold and silver.

There will also be gardens of grapes. The bunches of grapes will be very big. The size of a single grape will be equal to a big pitcher (pot). Someone asked, Ya Rasulullah Sallalahu alaihi wasallam: will it be sufficient for me and my family. It was answered, it will be sufficient for you and your whole tribe.


The Dresses of Jannat

The dress of Jannah will be very beautiful. One will wear 70 dresses at a time.

These will be very fine, delicate, weightless, having different colors.

These dresses will be so fine that the body even the heart will be visible. And the waves of love in the hearts will also be visible. These dresses will never become old, never be dirty and will never tear.

There will be four canals in every Jannah. They are of water, milk, honey and Sharabun Tahoora. There will also be three fountains in Jannah. (i) Kafoor. (ii) Zanjabeel. (iii) Tasneem


Qualities of People of Jannah

In Jannah, height of every Mo’min, will be equal to the height of Hazrat Adam Alaihissalaam = 60 arms (90 feet).

Beauty will be like that of Hazrat Yousuf Alaihissalaam

Age of youth will be like that of Hazrat Esa Alaihissalaam (30-33 years).

Sweetness of voice will be like that of Hazrat Dawud Alaihissalaam.

Tolerance will be like that of Hazrat Yaqoob Alaihissalaam

Patience will be like that of Hazrat Ayyub Alaihissalaam.

Habits will be like that of Sayyadina Muhammad Sallalahu alaihi wasallam.

If a person makes Du’a for Jannah three times, Jannah requests Allah

that O, Allah; make his entry into Jannah. And if a person makes Du’a

for safety from Jahannum three times, the Jahannnum requests Allah that, O, Allah; save him from Jahannum.

Lovely right? let us all set our goal there and achieve it.

Assalamualaikum to all,

I wonder why are we lacking in this :(

Why do we have to do segregation among human when Allah wants us to unite.

Our Prophet S.A.W is the perfect example of human kind when it comes to peace and spreading love without even looking at another human’s background.

I hear Muslim’s say and talk about da’wah but what they do is to speak out loud the greatness of Islam and not by their act. Islam doesn’t ask us to segregate our other brothers and sisters in fact by showing them love and treating them kindly, they will start to realize how wonderful Islam is. That is how i discovered Islam, learned about it and started to love it. All by the act of my wonderful friends around me.

So brothers and sisters, let us learn how to be patient and spread love as how our Prophet S.A.W has teach us. InshaAllah by Allah’s grace we will be strong.

Waalaikummusalam warahmatullah ~
