Jumuaah Mubarak

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?
Ad-Duha

A beautiful, succinct reminder of the perseverence our beloved Messenger of Allaah (SAW) that I came across recently:

What comes to a person in his or her life, however difficult it may be, perhaps will help a person move closer to God when the response is right: And it could be that you dislike something though it is good for you. And God knows, and you do not know(Quran, 2:216). Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said that if a person is tested with a tribulation, he will find a blessing, for the tribulation could have been worse; it was in worldy matters and not in spiritual ones and came in the finite world and not the infinite one. All these are reasons to thank God even for tribulations.

It is important to look at the life of the Prophet (SAW) and know that no once faced greater tribulation. The Prohpet (SAW) lived to see all of his children buried, except for Fatima. How many people experience this in their lifetime? Out of six children, he saw five of them perish. His father died before his birth. His mother died when he was just a boy. His guardian grandfather then died. When he recieved his calling, he saw his people turn against him with vehemence and brutality. People who had once honoured him, now slandered him, calling him a madman, liar and sorceror. The stalked him and threw stones at him until he bled. They boycotted him and composed stinging invectives against him. He lost his closest friend and relatives, like Hamza (RA) who was killed on the battlefield. His beloved wife, Khadija, after 25 years of blissful marriage, died during the Prophet's most difficult moment. Abu Talib, his protecting uncle, also died. The Prophet (SAW) was the target of 13 assassination attempts. How many people have faced all of that? Not once in a single hadith is there a complaint from him - except when beseeching his Lord.

THE HOUR OF NEED

The hour of need
is the hour of need.
It is not the hour of play,
nor the hour of joy,
nor the hour of comfort.
It is the hour of need.

The hour of need
is the hour of need.
It is not a day,
nor a week,
nor a month.
It is an hour.

The hour of need
is a window of opportunity.
It is longer than a minute,
but shorter than a day.
If you wait too long,
the window will shut,
and the opportunity will be lost.

The hour of need
is the hour of need.
If you wait too long,
you will miss the hour
and there may no longer be a need ..

Jumuaah Mubarak

If my thanking God for His blessings is a blessing,
then I must thank Him in the same measure again.
How can one thank Him save by His grace as time goes on, and life goes by?
If a good thing comes, I rejoice heartily;
if a bad one comes, I recieve a reward.
In both cases He gives me a gift too large
for the minds of men, and the land and sea.

Composed by Mahmud al-Warraq (according to Ibn Abi'l - Dunya)
