THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1440, (Thursday, 29th November, 2018). IF WE WANT ALLAH TO GRANT US ANYTHING, WE MUST APPRECIATE THE LITTLE WE HAVE. Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Our Life as Muslims is a Gift from ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic). We can only polish it with obedience to ALLAH or corrupt it with disobedience. Today before you say an unkind word, Think of someone who can't speak then say Alhamdulillah. Before you complain about the taste of your food to your wife etc, Think of someone who has nothing to eat then say Alhamdulillah. Before you complain about your husband or wife, Think of someone who's crying out to ALLAH for a companion then say Alhamdulillah. Today before you complain about life, Think of someone who died younger than you, healthier than you, wealthier than you etc then say Alhamdulillah. Before you complain about your children, Think of someone who desires children but they're barren. And when you are tired and complain about your job, Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job. Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another person's shortcomings, Remember that not one of us is without sins and we all answerable to one CREATOR, ALLAH so advise him or her with wisdom and patience. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, Put a smile on your face and thank ALLAH you're alive and still around and seek forgiveness because regardless of your condition, someone is worse than you within your community and within your family. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, if you are thankful to ALLAH, HE will increase you in sustenance. Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal. MAY ALLAH (Al-haadi, The Guide) keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
