Knowledge and Faith

Knowledge and Faith


We ask Allah, most high, to grant us knowledge and faith – they are the greatest and highest of the gifts of the Most Merciful. These people are the best of the best, the very core. They are the ones qualified for the high levels and lofty statuses.

Imam Ibn all Qayyim (rahimahu Allah) said: "The best that the souls have acquired, and that the hearts have obtained, and that with which the slave has attained prestige in this world and the hereafter – is knowledge and faith. And for that, the Exalted has linked them in His saying: 'And those who have been bestowed with knowledge and faith will say: Indeed, you have stayed according to the Decree of Allah, until the Day of Resurrection.' [Ar-Room:56] And His saying: 'Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe (have faith), and those of you who have been granted knowledge.' [Al-Mujadilah:11]"

Do good deeds


Rasul Allah's (s.a.w) said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah's is the most regular and constant even though it were little."

when unpleasant things happen

we shouldn't be worried when unpleasant things happen because they are taking us to Jannah... because the road to Jannah is covered with all unpleasant things and our test is to just keep doing sabr and gladly look forward to a most pleasant end where all these "pains" will appear as meaningless. So the thing to be worried about is our reaction to the unpleasant situations... is it according to Allah's pleasure or not... this is what is important.

May you have likewise

Prophet (s w s) said, 'The Dua of a person for his Muslim brother in his absence will be answered. At his head there is an angel, and every time he prays for him for something good, the angel who has been appointed to be with him, says, 'Ameen, may you have likewise.'
(Saheeh Muslim and Sunan Ibn Majah, narrated by Abu Dardaa')

Love for Allah (swt)

"Love for Allahu ta'ala is of two types: fard and non-fard. With the fard love, one obeys His orders, abstains from prohibitions and resigns oneself to His qada' and qadar. Committing harams and not performing fards are indications of slackness in this love. The non-fard love makes one perform naafila (the supererogatory) and abstain from mushtabihat. A hadith qudsi reported by Al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Huraira (radi-Allahu ta'ala 'anh) says, 'Allahu ta'ala declared, "My human servants cannot approach Me through anything as close as they approach Me through the fard. If My human creatures do the supererogatory 'ibadat, I like them so much that they hear with Me, see with Me, hold everything with Me and walk with Me, and I give them whatever they ask of Me. If they trust in Me, I protect them." ('Abd al-Ghani an-Nabulusi quotes al-Imam al-Qastalani as writing in Al-mawahib al-ladunniyyah,)
