THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 20th day of Ramadhan, 1445AH (Saturday 30th March 2024). LET'S KEEP STRIVING AND BE STEADFAST TILL END OF RAMADHAN. Bismillah.

ALLAH says in Qur'an 29:6

وَمَن جَاهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ

And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, ALLAH stands not in need of any of the creatures.

Then ALLAH tells us that even though HE has no need from HIS creatures, HE is kind and generous to us. HE will still give to those who believe and do righteous deeds the best of rewards, which is that HE will expiate for them their bad deeds, and will reward them according to the best deeds that they did. HE will accept the fewest good deeds and in return for one good deed will give anything between ten rewards and seven hundred, but for every bad deed, He will give only one evil merit, or even that HE may overlook and forgive. ALLAHU AKBAR. 

This is like the Ayah,

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَـعِفْهَا وَيُوْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

Surely, ALLAH wrongs not even the weight of a speck of dust, but if there is any good, HE doubles it and gives from HIMSELF a great reward. (4:40). 

This is also like the Ayah,

مَّنْ عَمِلَ صَـلِحاً فَلِنَفْسِهِ

Whosoever does righteous good deed, it is for himself. (41:46).

Let's strive hard in these last few days and give Sadaqah as much as possible. 

 May ALLAH accept our little efforts and grant us the best in dunya and Aakhira. Aameen.
