all...

and may Allah SWt protect our hearts from Hipocrisy and our actions from show... Ameen.

So its been a tumultuos week ( BIG WOrd for the week... i dont really no what it means...hehehe and im sure i've spelt it incorrectly:-) ) ... what with a change in President the politics of our country is well very political... and with the rain continuing to fall ... its wet..very wet... and im told that our roads are in its chops becuase of the rain... try finding one smooth road... aint gonna happen... theirs potholes everywhere... and then i was comforted by the following verses inthe Quraan: Surat A'Rad...

" 12. It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear and as a hope. And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy (with water).) (13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His awe. He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment."

and then all seemed to make sense... yes we are all expecting spring/ summer ... but ALlAH alone is in control of it all and we should see the clouds and rain as signs of ALLah SWt's GLory.. and increase in our belief...

Neverthe less at least this week will end on a high... for its layla tul QADR... the night of power... better than a 1000months... ALLAH hu Akbar!!

So go forth and seek the bounties of your LOrd...

everyCLOUDhasaSILVERlining...

THE thing about laylatul QADR... is ... as great as it is... it also brings with it the realisation that ramadaan is nearing to an end... and that saddens me to a certain extent... for i know that things will change... things always change... it is in our nature as human beings too change... hearts change... minds change... people change... the very arabic word for heart is Qalb... which im am lead to understand means a thing that changes... ( a poor attempt of mine to explain arabic... but please bear with me)... so i guess its our responsibility to manage this change.. and change for the better... and May Allah Guide us all...

but to tell you the truth i am not all that sad this year... i was listening to a learned sheigh the other day and he mentioned that "RAMAdaan is a month of EMpowerment"... " we have had the opperntunity to empower ourselves" ... our bodies... minds... and souls... have been refreshed... By Allah SWT's grace and majesty ... for 29/30 days we have taken control of our naffs...

and proved to ourselves that we can do just about anything... if we have the correct intentions... and if we place our trsust in our RABB.

and then like a lightning bolt out of no where this hadiths appeared before me and Lends to the fact that ALLAH SWT's is the most merciful of those who show mercy and wants to benefit us in every manner and means...

Narrated from
Abu Ayyoob al-Ansaari: "Whoever fasts Ramadaan then
follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be like fasting for
a lifetime." Saheeh Muslim (1164) The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadaan, a month is like ten months, and
fasting six days after al-Fitr will complete the year."
Ahmad (21906)...

Now all your accountants out there do the numbers... and you will see that in effect... what we are told is that if we want to get the reward of fasting the whole year... all we have to do is fast 6 more days... i was never good at maths.. but i think i am correct... lets double check this eqaution:

29/30days + 6days = 3651/4days... am i correct?

ALLah hu Alim...

A silver lining if ever there was one ...

And MAy ALLAH swT gUIDE US ALL... AND GIVE US OF his Mercy ... AND FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS...

think. ponder. reflect.

XBOX: if i have said anything wrong or made a mistake or offended anyone then i ask forgiveness. and if i have said anything beneficial and good then that surely comes from ALLah swt, most high.

BRuda ZAmmo comes home from the Masjied, greets his wife , lifts her up & carries her around the house.
The wife's so surprised & asks smiling, "Did the Imaam speak about how a husband should be with his wife"?
Out of breath the ZAMMO replies, "No, he said we must carry our burdens..." :-)

PEACE. LOve. and well a little more LOVE wont hurt anyone... now will it!
