Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Do No Evil, And Excel In Goodness

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Allah shows mercy to whomever He wills. You can't break your way to Allah. You can't break down the wall to Allah. If Allah chooses someone for His mercy, it is not because of who you are, it is because of how good Allah is.

يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

"For His Mercy He specially chooses whom He pleases; for Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded."

(Qur'an AleImran 3:74)

Allah tells us His mercy is near to those who excel in goodness and He does not like those who do mischief on this earth. So fear Him and do not do anything which would not be pleasing to Him, and constantly turn to Him and call upon Him with humility and earnestness.

When we call upon Allah, we must avoid any arrogance or show or any vanity of requests or words. If excess is condemned in all things, it is especially worthy of condemnation when we go humbly before our Lord, the Omnipotent, Who knows all.

ٱدْعُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًۭا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَٰحِهَا وَٱدْعُوهُ خَوْفًۭا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

"Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for God loves not those who trespass beyond bounds. Do no mischief on the earth, after it has been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts.) Verily the Mercy of Allah is near to those who excel in goodness."

(Qur'an Al-'Araf 7:55-56)

May Allah rain His Mercy on the Ummah of Muhammad, Allah bless him and grant him peace. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. JazakAllahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
