THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 18th day of Swafar 1444AH. (Wednesday, 14th of September 2022).

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IN LIFE. Bismillaah.

As Muslims, our ultimate goal should be to attain the Pleasure of ALLAH (SWT) by: 

1. Directing our sincere devotion to HIM alone. 

2. Achieving the true following of HIS messenger, Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam hoping for Jannat by ALLAH'S mercy. 

In saheeh Bukhari, we read that,

Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (r.a) relates that the Prophet said: "Allah, the Lord of Honour and Glory, will call the inmates of Paradise, 'O Residents of Paradise!' They 

will respond, 'Here we are, our Lord, and all good is in Your Hands. HE will ask them: 'Are you now pleased?' They will answer: 'Why should we not be pleased, our Lord? 

When You have bestowed upon us such bounties which You have not bestowed on any of Your other creation. HE will then say to them: 'Shall I not bestow upon you something even better than that?' The inhabitants of Paradise will inquire: 'What could be better than that?' ALLAH will say, 'I bestow upon you MY Pleasure and shall never be displeased with you. Allahu Akbar. 

With this and many of such promises from ALLAH in the Quran, why do we want to gain paradise but not willing to accept ALLAH'S test on us through difficulties? Paradise is not cheap my dear so let's be patient through tough times and stick to ALLAH'S rules regardless of the difficulties we face. Always ask yourself this question! DO I DESERVE ALLAH'S PARADISE? Then strive to earn it through your ways of life by studying the Quran and Sunnah. May ALLAH aid us through our efforts in seeking His Paradise. Aameen.
