THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 20th day of Zul Hijjah 1439, (Friday 31st August 2018). HOW TO BALANCE THE USAGE OF THE MIND, BODY AND SOUL TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL END. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from our topic yesterday; The Holy Quran describes the human soul in these beautiful words: [Ash-Shams, 91:7-10] “By the Soul and the proportion and order given to it; and its enlightenment as to its wrong and right; Truly he succeeds that purifies it, and he fails that corrupts it.” My dear respected Brothers and Sisters, if we follow the natural inclination of our soul, constantly seeking unity with ALLAH, yearning to return to Him and earnestly seeking HIS good pleasure, then we will bring some order and proportion to our lives. This is the big challenge we face. And, it’s not only seeking balance, order and proportion in our own lives, but bringing something of this beauty and grace, this serenity, this sakina(tranquility), into the lives of our families, our communities and the world beyond. It begins with us, within ourselves. We have to rediscover that little bit of heaven that ALLAH breathed into us, even before we took our own first breath of fresh air in the physical world. We need to explore the nature of the Ruuh, the soul, the ‘breath of Allah’ within us, try to understand its needs, try to understand how every thought we think and every action we make has an impact on our soul. Our soul will be our crown witness on the Day of Judgement. We must learn how to purify it and not to corrupt it. In Sura Nisa, 4:111 we read: “And if anyone earns sin, he earns it against his own soul: for ALLAH is full of knowledge and wisdom.! Every time we commit a shameful deed, we do not only harm others, we also harm ourselves. That’s why the Holy Quran frequently uses the term, “O you who have sinned against your own souls…” This clearly tell us that our disobedience and rebellion against ALLAH inflicts harm on ourselves. It also implies that in its natural state, the human soul is pure. There is no blemish, no stain of ‘original sin.’ ALLAH gave us a pure human soul and he expects us to take good care of it. When we die, we must then return it to HIM in the same factory-perfect condition. This is what our whole life’s endeavour is all about. We must learn the knowledge from ALLAH, apply it's teachings in our lives and hope for ALLAHs mercy for the SOUL. These reminders are only to remind us of what we should be knowing anyway, it takes less than 5 minutes to read through and share, be motivated to read them always and remember me in your dua always for life challenges we all face on daily basis. Please remember today is Friday as such we shouldn't forget the etiquettes of each Friday and implement on it towards our own successful life. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannatul Firdaus becomes our final abode_*. Aameen.THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 20th day of Zul Hijjah 1439, (Friday 31st August 2018). *_HOW TO BALANCE THE USAGE OF THE MIND, BODY AND SOUL TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL END_*.
