Islam

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without stopping to pray.

As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.

Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you.

I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life. With all of the good times we've had .. We have been watching dirty movies, cursing people, out partying, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, indulging in fornication, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults and those in leadership position, NO respect for the mosque, bad attitudes: SURELY you don't want to give all this up.

Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.

All you have to do is smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and listen to and dance to the top 10 jams. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, ask forgiveness from Him, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you...... IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR GOD.

Quran [14:22] : " And Satan will say when the matter is decided ( The Disbelievers entered the hell ) : "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

Rabbana la tuzigh quloobanabaAAda ith hadaytana wahab lana min ladunkarahmatan innaka anta alwahhabu (MEANING): "Our Lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure." [3:8]

Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands, announced his new
discovery about the effect of reading the Quran and repeating the
word ALLAH both on patients and on normal persons. The Dutch
professor

confirms his discovery with studies and research applied on many
patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were
non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to
pronounce the word "ALLAH" clearly; the result was great,
particularly on those who suffer from dejection and tension. Al
Watan, a Saudi daily reported that the psychologist was quoted to
say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Quran
regularly could protect themselves from psychological diseases.

The psychologist explained how each letter in the word
"ALLAH"
affects healing of psychological diseases. He pointed out in his
research that pronouncing the first letter in the word
"ALLAH"
which
is the letter
(A), released from the respiratory system, controls breathing. He
added that pronouncing the velar consonant (L) in the Arabic way,
with the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the jaw
producing

a short pause and then repeating the same pause

constantly, relaxes the aspiration.
Also, pronouncing the last letter which is the letter (H) makes a
contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this contact
controls the heartbeat.

What is exciting in the study is that this psychologist is a
non-Muslim, but interested in Islamic sciences and searching for
the secrets of the Holy Quran. Allah, The Great and Glorious, says, We
will show them Our signs in the universe and in their own selves,
until it becomes manifest to (remember me in ur Dua) ALLAHU AKBAR
Allah is great
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute) All you have to do is the following: You simply say "A
prayer" for the person that sent you this message. Next, you send this message to everyone you know.
In a while, more people will have prayed for you and you would have
obtained a lot of people praying for others. Next, stop and think
and appreciate Allah's power in your life, for doing what you know is
pleasing to him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions.
Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of
you."
If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if you believe.

"Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior.
Allah keeps me going day and night. Without Allah, I am no one.
But
with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength."
This is a simple test. If you love Allah and you are not ashamed of
all the great things that he has done for you, send this to
everyone
you know, May Allah help u to succeed...Ameen

O Allah! With Your Power we have come to the morning, with Your Power we come to the evening, with Your Power we live, and we die, and to You will we return.

Here are 11 pieces of advice to help you in winning others hearts.

1. Smile:
It is the first arrow and the fastest of them all. It is like the salt for food. It is also regarded as a kind of worship and alms-giving as mentioned in Hadith "Smiling at your brother's face is as charity (Sadaqa)". Sahaabah reported about the Prophet (Peace be up on him) saying that they had never seen someone smile at the other's face more then as the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) used to do.

2. Be always the one, who initiates greetings:
This arrow is the one that lets you to be in the inner most depths of the others hearts. This arrow needs a skilful shooter. The needed skills are the hearty smile, the warm shaking of hands and the friendly welcoming to the other. Being successfully achieved, such kinds of skills are going to be rewarded, referring to the Hadith: "In greetings, the better is one, who initiates greeting the other".

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) said: "Do not ever waste your good deeds, even by meeting your brother with a frowning face." He said also: "Shaking hands removes hatred and exchanging presents enhances love and ends enmity."

3. The Presents:
It has a strange charming affection that captivates all senses. Hence, exchanging presents and gifts in different occasions is a pleasant habit however gifts should be within one's tolerable expenses. Prophet (Peace be up on him) told us that giving presents increases love among Muslims.

4. Be silent..Just speak in what benefits:
Loud voice and chattering are bad merits. You have to be sweet-worded, tender in expressing yourself. Concerning this merit, The Prophet (Peace be up on him) said "The good word is a charity (is a Sadaqa)." If the good word has its own magic in winning the hearts of your enemies how powerfully it would work then with your brothers' hearts!!

Prophet's (Peace be up on him) said: "Nobility of manners and taciturnity are the best of manners that people are ever characterized by."

5. Be a good listener:
It is to listen patiently and never interrupt the speaker, as the Prophet (Peace be up on him) never interrupted a speaker till he ended his speech. And he who fights for this merit gains others love and admiration, whilst on the contrary is the one who chatters and interrupts the other.

6. Appearance and dressing well:
You have to be careful with your appearance so as to be neat, well-dressed. The Prophet (Peace be up on him) says that Allah (Saw) loves beauty to be in every thing.

7. Being in others favour and helping them:
Good treatment you classifies you as an obedient, beloved slave of Allah (Saw) as the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on him) says: "The more you are in (real) favour of others, the more you are beloved by Allah (Saw) " as Allah (Saw) says in the Quran: "
And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah (Saw) and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah (Saw) love those, who do good" (2:195)

8. Being Generous:
Offering money is the key for most of the closed doors that hinder you from reaching others hearts, especially in these days. Some people behave stingily as if they see the ghost of poverty waiting to attack them once they think about being generous in offering money i.e. not the behaviour of the Muslim.

9. To have a good opinion of others and to give them an excuse:
Keeping an eye on others behaviour is a bad merit that blocks your way to their hearts. On the contrary is to have a good opinion of them. So, try hard to give your brothers the excuse as much as you can. Allah (Saw) told us that if some one hurt others then he or she would have to ask for forgiveness from the person as well as from Allah (Saw) in order to compensate the mistake.

10. Express your feelings instantly:
If you loved someone or felt good feelings about them, don't wait, just tell them at once. Regarding this, the Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "If you felt the brotherly love of Islam towards any, you should immediately go and tell him about your feelings." He added "It is the way relations are to be strongly indicated". Such love is to be blessed by Allah (Saw) , if it is purely for Allah (Saw) 's sake, not for any other personal affairs such as seeking high position, money, fame etc. Unless this love is for Allah's (Saw) sake, it is a fruitless kind of brotherhood then.

Moreover, Allah (Saw) says: "Friends on that Day will be enemies one to another, except Al Muttaqoon (i.e. those who have strong faith and deeds)." (43:67)

11. Sociability:
It is the art of being social. Here, a kind of misconception could exist between sociability and hypocrisy. Could you differentiate between the two meanings?

The difference between hypocrisy and sociability is that sociability is a desirable legal behaviour in order to improve either life on earth or religion or so as to improve both by sacrificing the worldly affairs, while hypocrisy aims at sacrificing religion for the sake of the worldly affairs.

The Prophet (Peace be up on him) said: "Being sociable is as alms-giving."
