In the Name of Allah, Praise is due to Him, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, and Companions. To Continue�.My fellow Muslims� I
ask Allah (may He be Exalted) to render us of those who are dear to
Him, and help us to remember, thank, and worship Him the way that
pleases Him, He is the Only One Who is able to do this. My Beloved, Days
are passing so quickly, and we suddenly found ourselves coming to the
end of these blessed days. Though, we still have the chance, as we are
about to receive the greatest days of these ten, the day of `Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) and the day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijjah) having all our hearts with the pilgrims while fulfilling their rights. So, don�t forget this Dua`a� (supplication) �O� Allah! We have been withheld by an excuse so don�t prevent us the reward�. O�
Allah! Make the hereafter our main concern. Don�t render the worldly
life our main goal. Make all our goals revolve around achieving Your
Contentment. Render us more earnest to You, make us long for A�arfah
and pilgrimage, and bestow upon us with going their next year by virtue
of Your Grace, O You the Most Bountiful!. My beloved, Let us enter the paradise of �Having Good faith in Allah� As
it is, by Allah, one of the greatest paradises. Whoever enters this
paradise will be quenched from thirst before even the day of
�Tarwiyah� and will be pleased even before the day of �`Eid� in this
eternal happiness; when one knows his Lord , seeks His Love, be bashful
from His Generosity, and finds hiself flying in the sky of knowing
Allah. View
this quote, write your comment, and describe to me how would you feel
regarding it as these two men feel it. Then by Allah perform
�Sujud� (Prostration) of thankfulness that we have Allah as our Lord,
and that these are His Attributes. While you are prostrating, weep on
what you have committed, ask Allah�s Forgiveness, renew your
repentance, prolong this Sujud with supplication, talk to Him from you
heart, and do that while being bashful and humble. Listen with your hearts to what Bilal Ibn Sa�d said in �Al-Helya (226/5)� He
said: Allah orders to release two men from hellfire, he said: so they
get out with their cuffs and chains; and stand before Allah�s Hands. He the Al-Mighty says: how did you find your destiny and fate? They say: the worst destiny and most evil fate. He
the Al-Mighty says: that�s because of what your hands have earned, and
I am not to aggrieve any of my slaves. And He orders angles to get them
back into hellfire. One
of them walks with his cuffs and chains till he reaches it, but the
other keeps looking around (as if he�s looking for something) Thus
He the Al-Mighty orders the angles to get them back to him. He says to
the one who walked with his cuffs and chains till he reached it, why
did you do that and you have already tasted how painful it is. He
answers: I have tasted enough from disobeying you that I will never
expose myself to it again. (
it�s over, he understood the lesson, he knows well the consequences of
disobeying Allah, so he was frightened to disobey him again, till he
threw himself in hellfire, while he knows well what is hell fire. But
disobedience is evil, thus he decided not to do that again. Do we
understand the lesson from now, to protect ourselves from torture?) And he told the one who kept looking around, why did you do that? He
said: that was not my thought of you. He the Al-Mighty said: then what
was your thought of me? He said: I thought that since you let me out of
it, you will never get me back to it. He the Al-mighty said: I am at your thought of me and he ordered (the angles) to drive them to Jannah (paradise). Allahu
Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa Lillahi
Al-Hamd (Praise is due to Allah) , How excellent is our Lord, and How
excellent is He, our Deity which we love and fear. O
Allah, always render us of those who have good faith of You, and do not
let us to be of those who get deceived by Your Forgiveness without
working to acquire it, or those who shall have shallow hopes, who
claim to seek Jannah, but do no pay for it by giving and spending in
Your Cause. Today,
with every act of worship such as Dhikr (remembrance of Allah),
recitation of Qur�an, Sujud, Siyam (Fasting), Qiyam (Night Prayer),
maintaining ties of kinship and striving in all that: remember �The
Paradise of having Good faith in Allah� and cure therewith the sense of
depression which has disturbed our Iman (Faith) by dint of the
advocates of Satan. My beloved� Remember that �wrong not yourselves therein� Remember that this time is the time we can draw nearer to Allah, and He says in Hadith Qudsy (Revelation from Allah in the Prophet's words): �Do not stray far from me�. Remember that : these
are very precious times so don�t just suffice with the least of it,
rather seize the opportunity before they expire. Get to catch what you
have missed, and have good faith, perhaps Allah would revive us once
more, and bestow upon us sound hearts that love and fear Him. The Sunnah of today: Making Takbir on hearing good news: It was narrated on the authority of Abu Sa`id Al-Khudry that he said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: �And
I hope that you would be one fourth of the inmates of Jannah
(Paradise), so we made Takbir, then he said: one third of the inmates
of Jannah, so we made Takbir, then he said: half of the inmates of
Jannah, so we made Takbir� (agreed upon by Al-Bukhary and Muslim). I
think this Sunnah is consistent with the Paradise of (Having Good faith
in Allah), so let�s pronounce a lot of Takbir constantly in response to
the advice of our Prophet (peace be upon him) during these ten days. Of the Du`a� of the righteous who have (good faith): O
Allah! You give me without asking, then how would you prevent me when I
am asking?! O Allah! I ask you to embed your Glory in my heart, and to
let me taste the sweetness of Your Love. Yours, who loves you for the sake of Allah Hany Helmy
