The one who created your heart- ALLAH, can also fix it.

TRIP TO THE MALL

Assalamualikum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktahu.. Hope you are all doing well by the mercy and grace of ALLAH.

One of the beauties of being a Muslim, that I recently discovered is, When ALLAH guides us, instills love for him and fear of him, we remember him, his greatness, his bounty now and then (not just limited to prayer time)

One such remembrance and realisation hit me today, as I went with my family to a Mall near by…Now when I futher explain what I felt, It is not with an intention to look down upon others who have a certain interest. So please be mindful..

So this happened that, I was walking past different stores. The branded ones, ofcourse. And looking at all the luxury they offer, it dint instill any interest or want for them in me.. Subhanallah. To me, ALLAH made me perceive them like, just a bag or a jwellery or a dress.

No offense, but we do see people who live for such high end brands. I don’t say that if you have the money or it’s your liking to save and buy, is wrong. It’s definitely one’s money and decision to try n buy. But to some People, that I have come across, they get so much into brands that, they aren’t grateful for what they have.. Subhanallah..They envy others lifestyle and forget the blessings they have.

Such dreams and desires, may never take a place in our hearts, that kills our connection with Allah, that destroys our aim and efforts towards a successful Aqira, that makes us ungrateful to the blessings we have and forgetful of Allah’s favours on us Aameen.

Another thought that crossed my head was that, so much the world has to offer and then one day we will leave everything behind. On the day of judgement, even this place (mall) where I’m standing today, will be turned into dust, a plain ground where everyone will stand before ALLAH for their account.

In such little moments when ALLAH helps us to remember him, it’s indeed a blessing. In such little moments when ALLAH helps us to remember that, one day all of us will perish and be held accountable, then, it’s indeed a blessing. In such little moments when ALLAH protects your heart from falling in love with this world and distraction, it is Indeed a blessing. ALHAMDULILAHI RABBIL ALAMEEN

And in midst all the luxury, I saw the biggest luxury ALLAH has chosen me for. And that is, His Guidance. I turned around and looked at my family, Another huge blessing. Alhamdulilah.

In the end, we all had an ice-cream alhamdulilah and came back home. All we need to do is think on this that, We can be putting so much time and effort for acquiring a particular degree, job, status, or anything related to worldly benefit, which isn’t bad. But in this run, we need to question ourselves that, Are we giving the same effort in achieving the benefit of the hereafter (i.e. To make ALLAH happy, earn his forgiveness and Jannah) which is eternal, unlike the benefit of the world.

May Allah protect us and save us from being disobedient, to forget him, and to go astray and guide us to lead a life that makes him happy and attain his forgiveness and jannah aameen.. Jazakallah khair, fiamaanillah 💗

Importance of islamic education

Assalamuwalaikum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktahu..I hope ur doing well in the best state of imaan and health..In the hustle and bustle of life, somewhere, I believe we lost our true purpose. Unfortunately we are so busy for gaining high scores degree jobs etc, we rarely pay attention to our DQ (DEEN QUOTIENT)..I won’t say it’s harmful to pursue ur goals and career. Infact, it is indeed a rewarding act alhamdulilah..But forgetting Aqira, not learning & practicing deen is extremely damaging..

Sadly, we as muslims have become the kind of thinkers that gaining knowledge of Deen is only the duty of Maulana, hafiz , aalima, muftis etc..And we think that basics of Islam is Islam itself..May Allah forgive us aameen..

It saddens my heart to see and realise even for myself that we know bunch and bundles of songs but how many surahs do we know? We wakeup for meetings in the morning for gyming, we even wakeup our children for school..and sadly we don’t wakeup for fajar..We don’t miss our classes but we are okay with missing salah.. We are so lenient and ungrateful for blessing of Islam that we even drop our Ramadan fasts bcz we have exam or other irrelevant reasons.

We need to understand that learning deen, and spreading the same how much ever u can, teaching your children deen, prioritising deen, balancing both deen and duniya is important….If we don’t take our blessing of Islam, blessing of right guidance seriously, how will our future generations appreciate the same? How will our future generations stay away from the fitnah? We cannot protect our children ourselves from fitnah and sins..We are all bound to face it..Only by help of Allah and learning, educating deen we can do our best to stay away from sins and fitnah in shaa ALLAH.

Learning deen is all about priorities…Start with basics like once a week..make use of free time..read Qur’an, try to understand and memorise bits of it atleast…read beneficial books and listen beneficial lecture..Take up a course..Create the same environment for your children and families…And remember the first, very first thing that we will be questioned of is our Salah. If we don’t have seriousness of Deen, how will we understand importance of salah? How are we going to face Allah?.. Remember, we aren’t here for dunia we are here for our Aqira..

Be the best practicing muslim as you can..You are not expected by Allah to become perfect but you are expected the best efforts within your capacity…Start now before it’s too late not just for you but also for your coming generations

May allah guide us, help us and protect us aameen.. Jazakallah khair. Barakallahu feekum ✨ fiamaanillah 💗

An open letter to parents and to be parents…

Assalamualikum. Let’s start by making this dua that May Allah make us righteous practicing muslims and our generations to come. Aameen

Being a parent is a huge blessing. Alhamdulilah. But it ALWAYS comes with responsibilities. Many of you may assume that this open letter is by a parent. No. I’m not yet a parent. But growing up in this filthy world I do realise that what’s ahead of me and many of us, is worst yet to come.

I want all the parents or future parents to know that- our parents protected us from this filthy world to a point that, when we saw the world with our eyes, some of us stumbled to wrong and some of us had the ability by the will of ALLAH to fight off the evil. It is very sweet of parents to put us under a safe sanctuary. We, as kids were unaware of the fitnah of this world because Our parents protected us so much (there is nothing wrong with it). But the loop hole which got in was, they never prepared us fully to deal with fitnah by ourselves.

What I mean here is, The times you have grown were different and the times we are growing is different and the generation ahead of us which will grow will be different. Our parents and one day when we become parents as well, will try to protect our kids from falling into trap of Shaitan. But remember, Shaitan and his army, sees us and our children from places we don’t see them. Ask yourself this question- Are you forever going to be with your child, keeping them in a protected sanctuary? No. One day your kids have to explore this world.

Today I see the younger kids infront of me and I pray Allah that ya ALLAH make coming generations from my family and from the ummah righteous. Protect them as we are incapable of doing so. Ya Allah protect us and them from traps of Shaitan and make us steadfast in deen. Aameen.

When I grew up I had decent cartoons to watch ( not all but few) but if you see cartoons of today’s time. It’s all gone to minor form of adult activities. The clothes the so called princess characters wear, the dialogues and what not. Astaghfirulla. They will come for us and for our kids too.

So how do we prepare ourselves and our generations. Many would say we should cut off access from internet, tv etc. But this is not a permanent solution. I want to ask these people who give this opinion that- for how long will you be able to imply this? Once your child is in university, you think they won’t have any access to computers and phones. Leave about University, you think they won’t know all of this in schooling. And you cannot make your child sit in the house, between four walls for the rest of their lives. It’s not a right thing to do. Some may say we will check their phones etc. This is spying. It is sinful. I know many of us be like what is wrong? it’s the protection of own child. This is not protection. You only check a phone when you doubt and when you doubt, you become suspicious. When you become suspicious, you spy. Which is a sin. Then what is the ultimate solution?

I believe the ultimate solution is to incorporate Qur’an and sunnah daily in our lives. Start from you. Give time to learn Qur’an and sunnah. Implement it. Right from young age teach your daughters and sons what Islam is. What is our purpose. Teach both sons and daughters hijab and modesty. As they grow up, speak to them of real issues that happens around that cannot be swept under the rug. For example- when your child (daughter or son ) is a teenager. Talk to them about anger issues, mood swings, partying, dating. These things are very common in our society. Don’t scare them saying if I find you doing this your done in my hands. Instead, speak to them from perspective of Islam- Qur’an and Sunnah. Tell them the reward of not involving in such sins. Tell them how being obedient to Allah is beautiful and not stressing

Coming to us, when you are home. Stop involving in phones. Speak and listen to your child. Ask them what’s going on around in school, college etc. As a child (young child) they are very excited to speak to parents every day and tell them what happened at school. At this age they don’t hesitate in sharing every single detail. But as they grow, have you noticed that your child’s conversation about school or any place reduces. Why? Because we got very busy and we dint listen to them or it’s because when they came and told to us about something they did wrong, we reacted violently. Your violent reaction can be one of the reasons it pushed them away from telling you about things that you should be aware.

We need to change ourselves for the sake of ALLAH in order to have a better generation in shaa ALLAH. You cannot be missing prayers or pray alternative times, read Qur’an or not at all, lie, watching movies, listening music, coming home late nights, not dressing up well ( both men and women), not helping anyone at home, sitting as a punch bag, wrong behaviour with your spouse and family members, smoke etc and expect your children will become pious. How? Children learn what they see. So next time if you see your child using a wrong tone, language or show a improper behaviour. Check yourself and surroundings to understand, where this is coming from, before, hitting your children or scolding them.

Prepare your children for the world they will have to face. You may think that OH my parents never spoke to me of the obvious situations yet, I dint indulge into wrong. So I don’t have to do all this. Let me tell you something, your inability to involve in sins was a mercy from ALLAH. And in a time where you grew in, will not be the same time your kids will grow up. The reality can be swept under the rug but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Change yourself for the sake of ALLAH and not just you, your spouse should contribute as well. Involve your children not by force but by calling out them with love. But before this, we all need to ask Allah for help in our duas. There is a lot In Islam apart from Salah, fasting, zakat, hajj and hijab. We need to learn so much more and implement it in shaa ALLAH and pass on to coming generations.

Lastly, I would advise to take counselling sessions from righteous people that can help in parenting. We are in this life as a test. Don’t be selfish to get yourself passing marks and fail your children by improper parenting. You do so much for your child’s success in this world. You miss your sleep, schedule, work so hard till you are knocked out to provide them best education, other facilities to make them successful and independent in this temporary world. Then, why not keep more efforts to help them become successful in the hereafter? Make independent in deen ( which means help them to learn and practice Islam in a way in shaa ALLAH, that even if you aren’t around them, they stick to what is permissible)

May ALLAH help us and our generations to come, guide us and our generations to come and forgive us and our generations to come.. Aameen

Grieving Hearts

Assalamualikum. For any human it’s easy or say not very difficult to share about their financial problems, health problems. But when it comes to the pain of heart, we hesitate like no other. It’s not easy for us to share this pain that is unseen.

Most of the times, When we do share, we are told that we are complaining too much. Remember to be very careful with words. Someone’s problem be it minor or major may not seem a problem to you at all. But if someone has come to you entrusted, even if you think it’s not a big deal, Don’t shoo them off with harsh words. It’s always the little concerns that become the cloud of sadness.

Remember that a physical wound caused by an arrow or a cut can be healed with time. Can be medicated to avoid further infection. But the wound of the heart caused by words never heals. It gets bitter with time. It makes the heart sour. And this pain not just remains within the heart, it also effects the entire system of human. A kind word or no word won’t harm.

It is evidently agreed by the world that, the time of early morning before dawn, everyone has this phase where they speak their hearts. There are people who are our 3am friends. Don’t we? And who’s the best friend other than ALLAH. Do we realise that this special time is TAHAJJUD. Where ALLAH, The best of healers, The listeners, The one who knows your heart and made you, The one who is the bestest friend among all, is coming to the first heaven, asking if there is anyone to invoke me so I respond to it. Subhanallah ❤️

The king of the kings, the one who can change ur situation within no time is waiting for u to call out. Oh! Grieving Hearts turn to ALLAH.

What more do we want? A very peaceful, secluded time with the creator. Speak to him your heart. He listens like nobody and heals like nobody. He will fix you inch by inch. No matter how far you have been from him. It takes one step only to get back to him.

I know many of us will say how does that work? I can’t tell you how exactly this works but I’m sure it works because that has mended my broken pieces. I won’t say the next day you will feel amazing all good. No. Healing takes time. It happens gradually. But this process does get smoother with ALLAH.

The best companion I had is Qur’an during my difficulties. You and I let the haram get into our hearts which broke us. Now let the permissible (halal) get into the heart and fix, both heart and life.

It is very sweet of our parents and loved ones who protected us to a point that they dint prepare us for the real world. Now that we are facing it, we don’t know how to handle it. Heartbreaks can happen from family, parents, siblings, friends etc. Don’t think you will never deal with a heartbreak. You have to. That’s how the life is. ALLAH mentioned that he will test us. But he also assured us that he won’t be testing us more than what we can take.

We suffer heartbreaks for a longer time, only if, we don’t let go. It’s like your holding on to a rope, it’s cutting your hands, you are bleeding, but you don’t want to leave it because it is with you

Just like a sky has to go, have his own share of Grey’s, blues pinks. We will have our Grey’s blues and pinks too. But that doesn’t mean sun won’t ever rise.

Heartbreaks are not bad at all if you learn a lesson from it. How beautiful is for ALLAH to not let your heart attach to this temporary world. He knows if u fall into the honey trap this world, you will loose your aqirah. So the first step to avoid a heartbreak is to stop hoping perfection from the world and people. And the next is to forgive and let go.

Lastly, to those, whom people look upto to talk. Don’t betray them. Don’t shoo them with rudeness. If they have done wrong, correct them with kindness and love. Anger and hatred creates only gaps and cracks. It does more damage than good.

And for those who are seeking someone to speak to. Run to ALLAH. Spend time with ALLAH by learning understanding Qur’an. Read the sunnah. Know that your a gem. Don’t chain yourself behind one person or a group of people. Speak to someone who is genuinely there for you to listen and advise. Seek medical help if needed.

ALLAH not just wants you to take care of your physical health, he also wants you take care of Emotional and mental health. Don’t ever think it is getting too much on you. Take care of your heart just like you to take care of your studies, work and other things.

A soldier is always placed in the battle, only if, he has the ability to fight. Similarly, your grieving heart is your inner battle. You can get over it. You are a HERO 💟

Fiamaanillah

Duaa: Never underestimate it

Assalamualikum. As a Muslim, we pray, we do our best interms of dhikar, reading and understanding Qur’an, giving sadqa, doing your best in performing rights and responsibilities. Little do we realise that Duaa is also a form of worship. Also little is our practice to ask ALLAH (i.e. make dua)

I won’t lie saying- I always made dua and I have been consistent. Just like any other person, I used to make dua at the time of need. But when I realised the power of dua and beauty of asking ALLAH alone, I decided to ask ALLAH alone and always turn to him first.

There are certain aspects of dua that are beautiful. 1) Dua is heard even if u are in a closed room. Even if the world doesn’t hear it, ALLAH who is above the 7skies is hearing you. Therefore, nothing goes unheard and unknown. 2) ALLAH knows what you are even going to say in dua. He knows how you will frame it. He knows certain things that you hesitate to talk. He is always their to listen to you. ALLAH will never be tired of your repetitive duas. Infact, he is always pleased when you ask Allah time and again. 3) There is never a NO to your dua. ALLAH either gives you what you want or he delays and gives it to you or he gives you something better. But it’s never a no. 4)Reward of unfulfilled dua in aqirah. For example there is a dua you made that wasn’t fulfilled in this world. Don’t worry you will have it in your hereafter. Imagine you made a dua and you even forgot about it with time. And Allah rewards you and you are in shock that even this ALLAH dint let it go. Subhanallah ❤️ no doubt ALLAH is just. 5) ALLAH is too shy to send you empty handed. He is the king of the worlds. Everything that exists belongs to him. He is Al-Ghanni (The self sufficient one) and Al- Mughnee (The enricher). Imagine Allah being shy to send us off with empty hand. Then why are we shy to ask from our creator who doesn’t let us go empty handed.

Now remember that Allah’s timing is perfect. He knows what to give you and when to give you. Many people make dua and loose hope thinking it’s not gonna happen. Remember that disheartening your hope is a whisper of Shaitan. So don’t let that happen.

One of the examples that we can take is from the story of Prophet Moses (alayh salaam). He made the dua, same constant dua for 40 YEARS. If you think of today’s time. It’s someone’s half the age. 40 YEARS! Yet, moosa alayhee salaam never lost hope and he knew that someday ALLAH will grant his dua. And Prophet Moses alayh salaam dua was granted during the time when Pharoah was running behind him and Prophet Moses alayh salaam and his people were stuck between the sea and Pharoah army. Even during such a tensed situation, Prophet Moses alayh salaam said to his people that We have ALLAH he won’t let us down SubhaanAllah..

Another aspect is that to ask ALLAH alone ALWAYS not people not anyone… ALWAYS ALLAH FIRST. It is by Allah the help is going to reach you or me. Depend upon him. Again this can be seen and learnt during the time of Prophet Ibrahim alayh salaam. When he was about to be thrown in the pile of fire, angels descended and asked Prophet Ibrahim alayh salaam that If he needs help. Prophet Ibrahim alysalaam said NO, ALLAH will help me. Subhanallah.. Imagine his age, his situation and people around him thirsty to kill him and his faith in ALLAH.. SubhaanAllah.

There are many examples that prophets and the believers made dua and ALLAH granted them. Remember to ask ALLAH first and ALLAH alone. Also to remain patient with the decree of ALLAH. Trust his plans.

You might ask how did I strengthened myself in making dua. So here are few incidents of my life that strengthened me to make dua and keeping making it. 1) I am someone who had alot of acne issues. No matter what I tried I had problems coming in. So one day I came across a serum which had good feedback. I happened to ask my mom for it and she said no. I was a bit disheartened because I really wanted to give a shot to this. I did understand my mum perspective as well as she was worried that it should not go worse. However, that moment made me turn to ALLAH. I said Allah that ya allah you know my situations. I’m a student I don’t earn that I go myself and get it. Ya ALLAH if this serum has shifa for me (biznillah) then make ways for me to get it. If not, replace it with something that can help me with my acne. You won’t believe, after a week (I believe), my mum herself she came upto me and said- Do you really want to order this serum? If yes I’m placing and order. Subhanallah that’s when I realised that I need to ask ALLAH first to make my ways if it’s beneficial for me. If it’s not beneficial that replace it with what’s good. But ask ALLAH first.

Another incidents were I wanted to buy a make-up since so long and a diary ( I dint make dua for it, It was just a wish in my heart). Even that very thing was heard by ALLAH. ALLAH O Akbar. The very next day my sister took me shopping with her and she bought it for me. It was just a wish that wasn’t even said in the prayer Yet, ALLAH heard and granted. Alhamdulilah ❤️

You might think that’s nothing major. It’s a little thing. But remember, ALLAH opens the heart of a believer with signs that can be small and not great. That’s how ALLAH opens heart of believers who understand. Even in these small signs, there is alot to be thankful and alot to realise that with love, fear, faith and hope in ALLAH, your life will sail smoothly even through the darkest storms.

Relying upon the most perfect

Assalamualikum. We will start by imagining a situation. Imagine that you need assistance in some aspect. It can be interms of medical assistance or financial or any other assistance which you need help for.

You have been given a choice. To choose the best in the profession or some random person from the same field. Who would you choose? I believe you will definitely choose the best one.

If you need a medical help, you will choose the best doctor in the field. If you need a wedding planner, you would choose the best one. If you need a faculty to teach, you would pick the best ones. So on and so forth. We come to a point, you will choose the best one. “THE PERSON”

For something like this, you seek to rely on the best people with complete blind faith and trust. Ask yourself. How much should you be relying upon ALLAH- THE MOST PERFECT.

Now I understand many say yes we do rely on ALLAH alone. Subhanallah ❤️ . But relying upon Allah truly with complete faith and blind trust is known during difficulties. When we are tested by Allah a little bit, we say- Ya ALLAH why me? Do you realise that your questioning the MOST PERFECT ENTITY. THE ONE WHO MADE US. THE ONE WHO LOVES US 70X THAN OUR MOTHERS.

ALLAH won’t test anyone of you more than their capacity and their level of faith. It’s mentioned in the Qur’an and Hadith. When ALLAH knows your capacity, shouldn’t we trust him blindly in our highs and lows.

Another aspect which I have realised that relying upon ALLAH emotionally is also important. Sometimes we don’t get the opportunity to learn to process our emotions well and correct due to which we harm ourselves mentally. Even I learnt this very hard way.

Direct both your happy and difficult emotions to ALLAH first. If he can put you in a situation, he can also get you through it. I have seen many people completely rely their emotions on people. People are imperfect. And that’s where the problem arises.

There is no harm in hoping from people, expecting something from them. Harm is when you start believing that they won’t hurt you. They won’t do a mistake. How can they not? They are all humans. Humans aren’t perfect. Having hopes is no problem but having hopes to a point that you expect perfection from them is a problem. Sometimes the person you hope with, acts in a way that is not wrong but it might not be approved by you. For example- If your friend had to cancel a plan due to some work. You cannot get mad and sad because they failed you on this.

Hope from a human but not to a point that if they turn you down (they can be wrong here as well, it doesn’t always have to be you) it should not shatter and shut your system down. Stay connected to a human but remain attached to ALLAH alone. I know many of you won’t agree to this let me explain you further.

Connecting is like a phone signal. Even if the phone signal isn’t that strong still you will be able to access your phone and call your friends & family. There will be days where there is a strong connection and a weak connection between two people. But that doesn’t shut you up or the other person completely. Whereas, Attachment is like the battery of your phone. If battery doesn’t work no matter how good is your phone it won’t work at all.

Therefore, if you attach your heart to any imperfect being it will hurt you and rip you off from within. Whereas, if you attach your heart and soul to ALLAH- THE MOST PERFECT, neither will he let you down nor will he leave you alone. With him, nothing is lost and with him even the lost is found. Also, when you rely upon ALLAH emotionally, no matter who does what, who say what, ALLAH will protect your heart in a way that it won’t bother you much

ALLAH has created hearts. If you are looking to seek love and hope from anyone. Make dua to ALLAH first. Speak to him. Tell ALLAH that- Ya ALLAH! Don’t let my heart break because of imperfect people. Save me from those who potrays to be good infront of me and has evil intentions behind me. O ALLAH, instill love, respect affection and love towards me in the hearts of my family and friends and wherever I go.

Rely upon the most perfect- ALLAH and even the imperfect human hearts will be diverted towards you with all goodness in shaa ALLAH

Fiamaanillah 💗

Knowing ALLAH

Assalamualikum. If I were to ever ask you or anybody that whose love is the most profound one? Many of us would say parents or spouse, children or friends or any other person from friends or family

But the only profound and perfect love that exists is love of ALLAH. As a beginner to this journey how do you understand Allah and his love?….This is a step by step forever journey. The more you know Allah’s love for you, the more you get attached to Allah and become obedient. One of the easiest way to get to know Allah for anyone is to read his attributes.

ALLAH has 99 names. Each name is unique and deep. If you look at their meanings closely, you understand that most of the names convey the meaning of mercy and love. And remember when you read and understand them, know that your reading the most perfect entity attributes.

We can start by learning the 2 most read names that is AR RAHMAAN AND AR RAHEEM. Arabic language is so beautiful that you cannot translate these words or most words into English or any other language that can convey it’s 100% meaning.

If you translate these names, it means merciful. But let me explain you how different and deep they are in meaning. Rahmaan and Raheem come from the root word “RAHM” which means womb. If you think of a mother, when she conceives, the child is being nurtured by Allah. She doesn’t know if it’s a male of a female neither she knows it’s color, it’s form etc. Yet, a mother is in complete love with the baby that’s being conceived.

When you relate this to the attribute of Ar rahmaan and ar raheem. You understand what importance it hold and conveys a deep meaning. From the word of Rahmaan and Raheem, ALLAH gave the name to a womb RAHM so that we understand the deep love care and protection of mother towards the baby. This also depicts that ALLAH, from the very beginning of our lives till the end and even in the hereafter shall take care of us. We always need him.

Coming to the name of Ar rahmaan it means All merciful. Which means that no matter who you are- A muslim or a non muslim, an animal or bird etc. ALLAH is merciful towards you. His mercy encompasses every creation and his mercy is above his anger. Even the tiniest ant, ALLAH hasn’t left it alone. He provides, nurtures, protects and the cycle of life goes on.

And coming to the name Ar raheem. This name means Specially merciful. This is specifically to the believers of Islam. Subhanallah ❤️ how beautiful is to use both of Allah’s attributes to call out to him. This is like an extra added mercy towards us. ALLAH is already All merciful to everyone. But to a believer he is also specifically or specially merciful. Isn’t it like a privilege a believer enjoys?

Imagine your travelling in an economy class. But because you have been an amazing and kind traveller you are being upgraded for free to business class. It feels so amazing to enjoy a privilege for just being a favourite traveller by the airline. Or let’s just say, there is a very important person who is your favourite- A VIP. Who holds amazing power and is wanted by everyone. Everyone wants to meet and talk to them. Among the crowd you have been picked up. Doesn’t this feel like a dream come true?

ALLAH is the kings of the kings. The most special one. Imagine you as a believer, ALLAH is being specifically, specially merciful to you because of your sincere faith in him. Think of it, his love is 70 times more than a mother. We cannot measure the extent of a mother love. Imagine it by 70 times. And you as a believer is being benefitted by Allah’s mercy and his special mercy for you.

Analyse your life and ask yourself. When Allah is giving you this amount of love and mercy, what is your response and how much you should be taking it? How intense must be our efforts to gain Allah’s love every single day? We do so much to gain extra love of our parents, spouse, children, family and friends. How much extra and sincere must be your effort to gain Allah’s love which is easy and most profound.

Love of Allah is like a deep ocean. One who dips into it finds pearls and jewels. But the question is , are you ready to swim and explore?

Journey to find love of ALLAH

Assalamualikum. As young girl and every other kid had been told by our elders that- Hey if you don’t do this or do something in particular, ALLAH will be upset with you.

It is true that we have to both love and fear ALLAH. But interms of loving Allah and understanding his love for us is somewhere we failed ourselves.

A general human tendency is that when we know someone or try to know someone we tend to love them even more. For example- As a child, a baby, you don’t know your parents. You are with them. But as you grow up, you see your parents love you, take care of you, buy you what you want but they also sometimes, get a little strict to correct our behaviour for our own good. Whatever happens with our parents, we still love them with all our heart.

Similarly, as a believer why haven’t we learnt about Allah? We know he is with us but the effort to know his love for us faded with time and responsibilities of this world. Therefore, to understand his love for us and build your love for Allah we need to learn about him. We can understand his love for us by looking around. We sin yet he gave us all his blessings. Blessings of life, Blessing of proper functioning body, Blessing of food and water, Blessing of loved ones, Blessing of what we wish for.. subhanallah..Had a human being upset with us they wouldn’t even bother to ask us. But look at love of Allah, he watches us sin. He knows our sins more than we do. If people today knew our sins they wouldn’t even come close to us. Yet, ALLAH showers his blessings, mercy and love to us every single second of our lives.
