You Have Time
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuLlah wa barakaatuh.
Trust that you're good, striving and thriving.
This weekend , I did a little experiment that you can listen to it below:
Can you believe that combined together, these three statements are only 9 seconds!!!!! Individually, the difference between each of them is less than 3 seconds! Subhannallah! Imagine missing out on 30 good deeds because of 3 seconds? Ahhhhhhh!
'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum (May peace be upon you). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ten (meaning the man had earned the merit of ten good deeds)." Another one came and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (May peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah)." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Twenty." A third one came and said: "As-Salamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu (May peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings)." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Thirty."
This is not only about that this Hadith, it is also about all the other rewards we can gain with a few extra seconds or minutes. I drew up a table to show you some:
Don’t let your Nafs or Shaytan remind you of your never-ending to-do list.
Don’t get stuck in rush mode, you have the time to do these acts, you do. We kuku do not know which act will get us into Jannah!
May we not be amongst those who missed out because they were in a RUSH!
Mini-Task: Make a list of beneficial acts that you will do today, stick them up where you can see them and get someone to hold you accountable.
REFLECTION OF THE WEEK
Let the occasion be right!
Allah has blessed us with the ability to communicate. Humans are distinct in this sense as we can communicate in a more sophisticated manner than the rest of creation. We are able to express the depths and full breadth of our emotions, thoughts, and feelings such as empathy, joy, anger, and frustration. We even have the ability to generate new words when the current dictionary does not lend itself to the specific intended meaning or when a new reality emerges, a new word is created. The word "selfie," for instance, appeared in November 2013, and gained such prominence that the Oxford English Dictionary chose it as its Word of the Year!- Hammad Fahim
Please keep our brothers and sisters in Morroco in your duas. Please pray for Rizq, Shi’fa and peace for them. Please also spread the word and support them with your funds, This is a link to a variety of campaigns on launch good that you can choose from.
I have not finished watching this but it is on my watchlist. It is timely and I really do enjoy podcasts by Ustadh AbdeRahman!May Allah bless him always.
Till Next Week, Insha Allah
We leave you in Allah’s care,
One of us at Ibadahplug
