To the emotionally overwhelmed: When others are reading Quran with tears streaming down their face and your tears are pouring down for a completely different reason... When others are praying extra prayers and you're struggling to even pray on time because of your afflictions.. When others are fasting extra fasts and you're struggling to eat less or more because of your depression.. Remember: Taking care of yourself is an act of worship. Doing what you can, in your circumstance, that's an act of worship. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us, 'Indeed, actions are by intention.' (Bukhari) Live your life with mindfulness; that you're eating when others are fasting extra to

I am just amazed by how the Quran encourages us regarding the act of 'giving'. 🔹Giving is the road to 'ٱلْبِرَّ-righteousness'. 🔹 The reward of giving is multiplied. 🔹And best of all Allah will forgive our sins. We should all practice this deed. Because practicing an act makes it your habit. رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ '‏ مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلاَّ عِزًّا وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ ‏'‏ ‏.‏ 'Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another but that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises his status.' Sahih Muslim 258

Abdullah b. Mas‘ood narrates: The Prophet (saws) said: 'Which of you loves the wealth of his heirs more than his own wealth?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there is not a single one of us who doesn’t love his own wealth more.' He said: 'One’s wealth is what he invests [for the afterlife], while whatever he withholds is the wealth of his heirs.' [Authentic: Narrated by al-Bukhari (6442)]

قَرْضاً حَسَناً 'pinjaman yang baik' ~ renungan saya dari peringatan di My QuranTime. Allah Yang Maha Kaya minta saya pinjaman. SubhanAllah. Malu rasa diri ini. Pernah saya lalui insiden bila Mak inginkan sesuatu dan minta saya dahulukan duit saya. Bila Mak bayar balik, dengan muka tebal saya ambil. Astaghfirullah. Saya mohon agar Allah masih beri saya peluang dan kelapangan rezki untuk menebus kelalaian saya pada Mak, aamiin. Sekarang ini, di waktu saudara se Islam kita dalam pelbagai kesusahan, datang berita-berita sumbang yang menyatakan wang yang di infak tidak sampai ke tujuannya. Saya ingatkan diri saya dahulu bahawa niat pertama saya adalah kerana ingin mendapat redha Allah.
