JUMUAH MUBARAK!!!

Asalaamualikum wa rag matullaah hi wa barakatu

 

 i trust all is well?...

 

 

Jumuah Mubarak on this great day... the sky is blue... and the mountain is... well there... which is good thing...

just imagine one day you wake up ... and theres no mountain!!!

 

WOW... for any who lives in CT you will know what a shock that wOULD be... and we just haveta ask ourselves...

 

" then which of your favours of your LORD shalL ye deny?"

 

... THE AMAZING RACE

A FEW WEEKS AGAO I TOOK PART IN A RACE... it saw us driving all over the Western cape from Tygervalley to milnerton to a race...  CT etc... it was great fun...

 

Teams had to complete certain tasks much like the HIT TV show ... and would receive points for the position they arrived at each task and the time it took to complete a particular task ... the higher you finish the more points you score... but theri were BONUS POINTS ON OFFER ... the less time spent on a task and completing a task BETTER earned you more points. 

 

througout the day we had arrrived at each taskmore or less in 5th or 6th position... and By the end of the day we had resigned ourselves to having finished 5th or 6th ... HOWEVER TO OUR GREAT SURPISE... we actually ended 3rd... OVERJOYED and CONTENT with the result... we scratched our heads... and the only reason we could come up with how we ended higher than other teams who had finished before us had to be as result of the BONUS POINTS we collected along the way... awesome... ABSOLUTELY! 

 

it just goes to show that if you concentrate on doing things properly ... and focus on quality over quanitity then a nice surprise certainly awaits you... and THE BONUS POINTS ... do add up... 

 

Talking about favours... Aint Ramadaan just one great big FAVOUR? i was thinking about the other day... HOW GREAT IS OUR RABB ... this month is so awesome that it was made a fard for us... and yet Allah swt makes obtaining the benefits of this month easier for us... think about it... would we in any other month of the year even contemplate fasting for 29 or so days? Would we? 

 

Probably not.. and therein lies the bueaty of this month ... Allah swt ... makes the rewards so easy... eg. if you dont know already any sunnah act done in this month is transformed and its reward is that of a fard... ALLAH Hu akbar! How MERCiFUL is our RABB? So if we greet our brother/ mothers/ wives with a smile ... BONUS!!! 

 

having listenined to the many scholars this month ... i have realised that ONE COULD SAY THAT this is a month of BONUS POINTS ...    everything good we do ... every ibaada we perform sincerely for the Sake of Allah swt ... is multiplied... and recorded and locked away for us... ALLAH hu akbar... 

 

BONUS POINTS ARE ON OFFER ... during this month.. and as the month slowly comes to end... our ibaada should be sharply increasing becuase the best is one its way.. or occured last evening... ALLAH KNOWS BEST.... LAYLA TUL QADR...

 

we should the seek it in the ODD eveninings of the last 10 days our Beloved Proophet (SAW) has told us... A NIGHT GREATER THAN A 1000 MONTHS ... WHAT i understand is that the night of Lailatul Qadr is the most blessed night in any year and should we miss out on it we may be missing out on the great benefits on offer...AND IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THat we spend these last few days in supplication... and standing in Thajjud prayers... dovoting our time and SLEEP... in the remembrance of Allah SWT...

 

 AND JUST IMAGINE.. on the day when we are all gahtered and acounted... on the day when our books are handed to us... just imagine how overjoyed we will be to receive our books in our right hand... imagine how AWESOMe we will feel if our heightened efforts over the next few days could result in us obtaining Allah swt's Mercy... JUST imagine...

 

WE SHOULD ALL HOPE IN THE MERCY OF OUR LORD...

 

in closing...

It has also been reported by Aishah (Ra): "The Messenger of Allah SAW used to exert more (in worship) on the last ten than on other nights." {Muslim}

 

... if the Honourable Prophet did so... i think we all know what we should do.

 

think ponder. reflect.

 

AND MAy ALLAh SWT GUIDE AND PROTECT US ALL...

 

PEACE. LOVe. and a dozen or so feta cheees and spinach samoosas... mmh:-)
