Speak About The Greatness of Allah
Thursday, 10th September 2015
It is only through speaking about the greatness and might of Allah that fear of Him is instilled in the heart. Having full knowledge of His greatness and sanctity has to be acquired before all other deeds and actions. We have not made enough effort in this regard and that is precisely the reason why we flagrantly violent the commands of Allah without batting an eyelash.
Unity
Wednesday: 9th September 2015
A great scholar advised that, there are two qualities that are necessary to maintain unity:
1 - Humility: A person who has humility, will think of himself as Allah's slave, who has no standing and will be happy with howsoever Allah treats him. He will have no expectations from others and therefore no complaints. When there are no complaints there are no disputes.
2 - Selflessness: Be prepared to sacrifice your own comforts to let your fellow muslim brother/sister live in comfort.Give preference to needs and desires over your own.
If we can attain these two qualities - we will definitely be a more united Ummah.
Anger
Monday the 7th of September 2015
When reading the traditions of the Messenger (S.A.W) I find that one of the strongest instructions we have been give is: "Do not get angry". The Messenger repeated these words three time when advising a Sahabi (R.A)
He (S.A.W) also advised us how to deal with anger:
"If one of you becomes angry while standing he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down”[Tirmizi]
“Anger comes from Satan, Satan was created from fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when any of you is angry, he should perform ablution”.[Abu Dawood]
May Allah Ta'ala give us the ability to control our anger!
