Let's Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) -- Transformation

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam

Islam is a great blessing for those who know and understand it. Islam is not there to burden you. But it takes knowledge to realize this. Once you get your two feet standing in the middle of the religion, you will find that this religion is easy and each routine becomes easier and easier and you will do more and more. But you cannot be lazy.  

The practical injunctions are a large part of Islam. Religion is meant to lead to a transformation in a human being whereby he is no longer chained to what other people are chained to of lusts, desires, laziness, or what people think. He has a much higher purpose and reflected in this person. He become a man of God.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalaam gives us things to do. Through these actions, among them reading Surah Al Kahf every Friday, transformation takes place. Such a person if he asks Allah for something, Allah will give it to him. Why? Because Allah loves him.

It maybe difficult to read more than a few pages at first, or to keep it up every Friday, but you force yourself to do it and don't procrastinate. Proscrastination is one of the entrances of shaytan. Close that door and read it right now. 

The first stage in the path towards Allah is to force yourself and bring yourself to do those actions which you know that Allah wants you to do.

Whether we act upon the Sunnah knowing the benefit or not, we should strive to do what we know. This religion is all about obedience to the Almighty. And through obedience to Him, we enjoy the closeness to our Lord.

So strive to continue the Friday tradition from the Sunnah of His beloved Messenger sallallahu alayhi wassallam, until you die. Don't let shaytan whisper to you otherwise. Don't let shaytan take you away from your opportunity to be loved by Allah.

May Allah grant us steadfastness and consistency in worship of Him. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
