Slmz...

 

its cold... its snowing... and yet the sun shines as if its summer.

i trust all is well.. and that the WORLD CUP is treating you good...

despite their loss... BAFANA BAFANA is still my team ...

and the sounds of the VUVUzela still echoes thru the land...

 

JUMUAH MUBARAK TO YOU ALL!!!

 

I trust that you are well and all is fine... that life goes on and our drive to attain Allah's swt's pleasure is still as strong as ever.

 

 

sO A COUPLE OF BRitish TOURIST are driving around the Western Cape Peninsula taking a break bwtween games at the world cup when a old lady in the touring party comes  up to the driver of the bus and gives him sum peanuts. she sits down and after a few more minutes she gets up and gives him more peanuts. the grateful driver says thank you and eats the peanuts. The old lady repeats this generosity a few more times and after the 5th such time the driver turns to the lady and asks: " tell me lady why did you buy the peanuts when all you are doing is giving it away?"

The lady replies: " well young man... i dont have any teeth and can only have the chocolate!"

 

heheheeh.... lol:-)

 

 

FEEL IT! IT IS HERE....

 

Any ways.. with all this world cup GEES... everybody is so eager for the games.. and preparing for it well in advance ... and trying their best to get site of some of the WORLD CLASS players on view... all in a bid to say... i was there!!! mANY HAVE HOPES OF MEETING THE PLAYERS WHILST OTHERS WILL BE CONTENT ON JUST WATCHING THE FOOTBALL...

 i realised that even for the most stuanch of us...  its very easy to get distracted from the our duties we owe to the Creator...

and whilst i was reciting quraan this morning i realised something when i happened accross this verse... which puts everything into perspective...

[Surah Kahf: 110]

" Say (O Muhammad ): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God i.e. Allah). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord."

and then i read a Hadith that goes... whoever loves or longs to meet his Creator then know that Allah swt longs to meet that person. And whoever does not LONG TO meet his CReator then Allah swt does not long to meet that person.

 

Thus whenever we are presented with an oppertunity to do good i.e. perform salaah ( when the Waqt (time) is in , to do righteous goods, greet each other,  etc. we should FEEL it. and say It is here.

and perhaps if we develop a GEES for doing good... then in this way we can a pave a way towards Allah swt for ourselves.  

 

This is but my mere opinion... and what do i know... for Allah swt knows BEST!

 

PS: I MAKE DUA ALLAH SWT MAKES US OF THOSE WHO LONG TO MEET HIM.
