Among The Best Ummah

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

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well

Out of Allah's infinite mercy, He has created us as part of the best and most honored nation ever to inhabit the earth. We are also the last and final nation until Judgment Day.

"You are the best Ummah singled out for mankind: you enjoin what is right (ma'ruf), forbid what is wrong (munkar), and believe in Allah." Qur'an AleImran 3:110

The head and the highest ma’ruf is the belief in Allah and the rest of the pillars of Islam. The head of the munkaraat (plural of munkar) and its most evil manifestation is kufr in all its forms. We must avoid the munkar, deter others from it and warn others from falling into it.
But, knowledge precedes action. Before we can enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, we must acquire knowledge on what is right and what is wrong. Then only then we can call others to abide by the ma’ruf and abstain from the munkar.

So, it is imperative that we seek knowledge of this religion so we can fulfill the condition of being the best Ummah.

Qatadah, Allah be pleased with him, said, “We were told that Umar ibn Al-Khattab, Allah be pleased with him, recited this verse during a Hajj that he performed, when he saw that the people were rushing. He then said, "Whoever likes to be among this (praised) Ummah, let him fulfill the condition that Allah set in this Ayah (3:110)."

Aren't you among this best and honored Ummah?

And Allah knows best.

Why Are You Not Happy?

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

If you are not happy with your life, know that because you are far away from Allah. Allah is the source of happiness. If we were to know Allah in the way that we are supposed to know Him, we wouldn't have the time to think about other than Him--that includes things that bother some or most people. Your Lord is always there and He is watching. So we should find happiness in that, that we are not alone. Why then are we mad at people who do us wrong, why then we want to get even, why then we hold grudges and "kill" ourselves over it--when they cheated you, or lied to you, or even beat you up. They are wronging themselves more and you should be sorry for them--for they can be the bankrupt in the Day of Judgment. If you cannot thank Allah for what they did to you, be patient and the reward is tremendous for you. Allah is with the patient.

May Allah not leave us alone even for a blink of an eye and makes us among the patient. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
