Some Excellent Reminders - The Mercy Of Allaah & Putting Trust In Allaah

"Never Lose hope in the Mercy of Allaah, verily Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
[Surah Az Zumar 39:53]

- We get very hard on ourselves sometimes. And while there is benefit in taking ourselves to account, the sunshine comes from never losing hope in Allaah's Mercy. Allaah's Mercy and forgiveness is able to encompass whatever you have done.

So knock on that door right now.


"It is part of the Mercy of Allaah that you deal gently with them. Were you severe or harsh-hearted, they would have went away from you: so pass over (their faults), and ask for (Allaah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs (of the moment). Then, when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allaah, certainly, Allaah loves those who put their trust (in Him)."
[Surah Ali Imran 3:159]

- It is not the snake bite that kills, it's the venom that flows through the blood. The antidote is forgiving people. Don't let anger rent space in your mind and heart. Forgive and pass over people's faults.


"Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allaah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and in Allaah must Believers place their trust."
[Surah At Taubah 9:51]

- Whatever tests you are going through today, Allaah knows it. He is your protector. Turn to Allaah in submission and worship, placing your trust in Him, and watch what happens!


"One day Allaah's Messenger (saw) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, "Why don't you tie down your camel?" The Bedouin answered, "I placed my trust in Allaah." At that, the Prophet (salallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, "Tie your camel and place your trust in Allaah"
[Tirmidhi]

- Placing trust in Allaah means doing everything that is NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS! <--that's a big one. "Your Lord has not forsaken you; nor does he ever turn away from you. The life to come is far better for you than this present life; you will be delighted at what your Lord will give you. When you were an orphan, did he not enrich you?"
[Surah Adh Dhuha 93:3-6]

- In our daily struggles, focusing on the life to come and what we need to prepare for it today will bring the richness to our lives that we are all seeking.

For the next seven days, ask yourself throughout the day, "In the hereafter, will I regret how I spent my day today?"


"O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salaat (the prayer). Truly! Allaah is with As-Saabirun (the patient)."
[Surah Al Baqarah 2:153]

- Life has both ups and downs. If you are in a down turn, Allaah gives you two tools by which you can stay strong: being patient and focusing on your Salaat. The reward: Allaah will be with you!


"And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad salallaahu alayhi wasallam) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright."
[Surah Al Baqarah 2:186]

- Allaah promises to listen to us when we raise our hands in supplication. Too often when we are down or just can't get things done, we suffer in silence, and forget to turn to Allaah in supplication. Not today!


"Whosoever desires (by his deeds) the reward of the Hereafter, We give him increase in his reward, and whosoever desires the reward of this world (by his deeds), We give him thereof (what is decreed for him), and he has no portion in the Hereafter."
[Surah Ash Shura 42:20]

- When you ask people what their number one goal in life is, rarely do you hear the person immediately respond by saying "Pleasing Allaah, Jannat Al-Firdaus - the highest level of Jannah, and being with Rasulullaah (salallaahu alayhi wasallam), in the hereafter." But ... isn't that the correct answer? Let's make it a reality with how we live our lives!


"And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allaah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allaah has set a measure for all things."
[Surah At Talaq 65:2-3]

- Do the right thing, Do what you know is pleasing to Allaah, and SUCCESS will be yours!

Cry out to Allaah and He will surely hear your call, If not the first time, maybe the second or even maybe at the tenth wallahu a'lam it is solely up to Allaah and His Divine Decree when all that your cry for is given or taken from you whether it is best for you, remember to persevere patiently, as indeed Allaah is with those whom are patient! Have full faith in Allaah and you won't be disappointed, for verily for promise of Allaah is true..
