THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ithnayn 8th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani (Monday 23rd November. 2020).

SOME of THOSE ALLAH LOVE BASED on THE TEXT in the QUR'AN and SUNNAH Continues. Lets read through and aim to be among them. Bismillah

Let's continue from the Reminder yesterday;

7. Those who place their trust and reliance on ALLAH. When you make a decision place your trust in AALLAH because ALLAH loves those who place their trust in HIM. What does it mean to place your trust in ALLAH? It means that you place trust, from your heart, in ALLAH and that HE will give you what is beneficial and protect you. You also believe no one gives; no one withholds no one benefits and no one harms except from ALLAH. The prophet (sallalahu alaiha wa sallam) said “A people will enter paradise and they will have hearts like birds meaning they place their trust in ALLAH just like the bird does. The Prophet explained; if you truly place your trust in ALLAH, HE will provide for you like HE provides for the birds, which leaves the nest in the morning hungry and returns full”.

The story below shows one of the fruits of placing trust in ALLAH. 

Do you remember the incidence when the disbelievers decided to throw Abraham peace be upon him into a huge fire? The fire was so hot that they had to throw him  from a distance but when he was faced with that trial he put his trust in ALLAH and recited the dua HasbunalLah wani'emal waqeel, ALLAH is sufficient for me and HE is the best of protectors. Inside the fire became air conditioned ALLAHU AKBAR. When ALLAH even sent an Angel to ask what he wanted whilst on his way to the fire, he never requested for ALLAH to safe him but for ALLAH to be pleased with him ALLAHU AKBAR. 

8. The person who is just, who is fair. ALLAH says in Qu’ran “ALLAH loves those who are just” What is just? Wherever dispute reaches you, you judge in accordance to the book of ALLAH and the Sunnah. One of the greatest blessings of ALLAH is that HE makes a person just, and the person likes to be just and loves the truth and prefers it over everything else. 

9. The person who repents. ALLAH says in Al- Baqarah “ALLAH loves those who repent and HE loves those who purify themselves.” Ibn ul Qayyim said “Repentance is one of the realities of the religion of Islam” The one who repents is the one who ALLAH loves. Repentance is that you abstain and abandon that which ALLAH dislikes and return to that which ALLAH loves.

10. The person who posses Ihsan. Ihsan can be divided into 2 groups.

· To worship ALLAH as if you see HIM and if you can’t see HIM, know that HE sees you.

· Treating the creation (humans, animals) fairly and properly.

The weak oppressors are those who oppress those weaker than them. If someone wrongs you, find it in yourself to pardon him. An example is in Al Adab al Mufrad (Ibn Kathir), when the companions brought the Jewish woman who tried to poison the prophet (sallalahu alaiha wa sallam), they asked him, “Should we kill her?” The prophet said “No” and he let her go.

If ALLAH loves a person, they will be successful in this life and the hereafter

We Ask ALLAH In That Which HE Loves And Is Pleased With and may HE overlook our mistakes and increase us in knowledge. Aameen.
