OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015: FAILURES
Oh Allah, many times I have failed you.
Yet You continue to have mercy upon me and bless me.
What could I do without You.
Most Gracious. Most Merciful.

FEBRUARY 2014: I Bow Down
I bow down.
Yes I bow down to Allah alone.
He resides in the sky on His Throne.
He listens to my heart as it cries.
I repeatedly say: Ya Jabbar! Ya Allah!
As my Imaan increases, the tests increase.
He reassures me through His verses:
"...Bear with patience whatever befalls you...." (Qur'an 31:17) and "Be not sad, surely Allah is with us." (Qur'an 9:40)
"Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty, ailments and were shaken." (Qur'an 2:214)
My heart is then at peace.

November 2013: Allah – my Creator and everlasting friend.
What is the definition of a true friend?
One who supports you besides Allah and family to the very end.
It is not about having lots of them or just having one.
I was told once that if one has a friend in life from start to
finish, they are a very lucky bun.
A beautiful example can be seen between our Beloved Prophet (SAW) and Abu Bakr (RA)
They went constantly together through thick and fine.
You could sense the true brotherhood they had within.
Abu Bakr even married his daughter to our Beloved Prophet (SAW).
Between them, there was honesty, commitment, true love, brotherhood, manners and many respects.
Today, you will find many friendships that lack these aspects.
But one thing to keep in mind is He who has no one, has Allah, and he who has Allah has everything.
Allah is sufficient, so do not worry about anything.
On the Day of Resurrection, Friends will become foes.
Each person will be worried about their deeds and where one goes.
Create your connection with Allah.
He is waitinf for your friendship and attention towards Him.
He is your Protector, Creator, Witness, Judge, Merciful and aids one to light from dim.
He has the keys to Jannah, if the keys landed with people what would have happen?
Imagine. Think. See the wisdom behind Allah’s commands.
Trust in Allah and carry on your journey and fullfill Allah’s demands.
Try your very best as this life is a test.
It doesn’t matter who stays and who goes, in remembrance of Allah, our hearts will find rest.
