FIRST REMINDER. Wednesday. 26th day of SAFAR. ALLAH'S BLESSINGS VS SATAN'S BLESSINGS. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Our beloved Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said in his farewell Hajj: “Wherever and in whatever circumstances you are, fear Allah.” [Narrated by Imam Tirmidhi]. Fearing Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) logically entails fearing to disobey Him. The advantage of obeying Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) extends to both this world and the Hereafter. Allah's says in the holy Quran; “And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.” [Surah at-Talaaq, Ayat 2-3]. There is something very serious that we ignore in life and that's the fact that whatever Allah provide to HIS creation as blessings, Satan also provide it's opposite towards disobedience. Example Allah and HIS Messenger has commanded and encouraged us to earn the halaal way so that Allah will bless the little we earn into something that will benefit us into happiness in this life and the hereafter but Satan also has encouraged some to earn the haraam way such as through gambling, stealing, interest based earnings or transactions such as loans with interest regardless of where you live, no excuse of non Islamic bank, selling haraam stuff, earning through fornication and adultery etc but unfortunately you find some Muslims eagerly following these haraam satanic means with excuse of there are no jobs etc. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyah says: “Just as righteousness brings about sustenance, the abandonment of righteousness causes poverty. There is nothing which can bring about sustenance like the abandonment of sins.” [Al-Jawab Al-Kafi]. To be continued in Shaa Allah. We ask Allah to have mercy on all of us and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
