THIRD REMINDER. FRIDAY. AIM TO PLEASE ALLAH NOT HIS CREATION. Bit long but contains beautiful story to boost our eemaan in shaa ALLAH. Don't miss reading. BismilLah. Most times many of us will make a grave mistake in trying to achieve something even if it involves disobedience to Allah such as sisters who are trying to find husbands or vise versa. A sister recently said to me, how can I find a brother to marry me if I cover my face and body in public? AstaghfirulLah. Only Allah chooses rightful partners for us. If we choose to find the partner wrongly, sheitan then comes in to choose for us wrongly and that's why the rate of divorce are rampant nowadays. Lets remember what the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He who displeased Allah for seeking the pleasure of people, Allah is displeased with him and those people are also displeased, for pleasing whom he had earned Allah’s displeasure. And he who pleases Allah, although by it he displeased people, Allah is pleased with him, and also those people whom he had displeased for pleasing Allah become pleased with him. Allah makes him splendid and his speech and acts in the eyes of others beautiful.” My dear Sisters, please wear your niqab, stay in your room aside going to Madarasah etc and make Dua to Allah, HE will arrange your husband to find you *No but and No what if* unless if we've lost our eemaan. Have we not read the story of how the Parents of Our Imam Abu Haneefah got married and gave birth to this great Imam? Let me summarise it to boost our eemaan. His father Saabit Ibn Ibrahim was young and learned who was walking around one day and was hungry. He found a fruit which has falling from a tree but the branch of the tree was coming from someone's garden. After eaten this fruit, something prompted him that he has eaten a fruit which does not belong to him so he must find the owner and seek forgiveness as he fear to pay for it on judgement day. He found out that the owner was living in another village far from his village but he had to travel regardless of how far to seek forgiveness Allahu Akbar. He went to find the owner but before the owner can forgive him, he has to fulfill the owner's request to marry his daughter whom he said is Dumb, Blind and Deaf in the room as he is not finding anyone to marry her. If Saabit can marry such sister then his sin for eaten one fruit will then be forgiven SubhaanAllah. Ask yourself this before I continue, if it was you, would you even bother to ask Allah to forgive you left alone to travel to the village to seek forgiveness? The answer is no bcs of our weak eemaan but guess what happened? He was not even allowed to see the girl till after the marriage but because he needed the forgiveness he still agreed to marry her. The Marriage was conducted and during the night he entered his room by saying Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullah even though he was told the sister was Dumb, Blind and Deaf and to his surprise, a beautiful voice answered him Wa Alaikum Salaam Warahmatullah wabarakaatuh my dear husband and stood up from her bed, walked towards her husband to his amazing surprise package of a young beautiful well mannered sister. The wife then explained what her father meant by Deaf Blind and Dumb to him by saying She always had niqab and never looked at a man who is not her relative and no man has seen her. She has never walked to any place aside Madarasah and she has never spoken to a non relative man ALLAHU AKBAR. The first pregnancy of This beautiful marriage became our Imam Abu Haneefah Allahu Akbar. The lessons are clear. Allah dragged Saabit Ibn Ibrahim to meet his wife by inspiring him to eat a fruit which is not for him and by going to seek forgiveness and meeting his wife Allah has arranged for him. Marriage made in Jannat be that isn't it? Let's trust Allah and obey HIM. HE is sufficient for HIS sincere servants. Don't display your beauty online seeking men's attention else you may end up falling in love with Jung brother. Nothing wrong to propose to a brother or sister online after investigating her or his background, you can then exchange photos towards Marriage but let's be mindful. May Allah keep guiding us all and increases us in beneficial knowledge. Aameen.
