بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Life is temporary . The hereafter is everlasting
The believers conduct themselves in ways to please Allah and hope for Paradise by His Mercy .
Pleasing Allah is the only right measure of all thought , speech and action .
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
"Surely my prayer , my sacrifice , my life , my death , are all for Allah . The Lord of the Worlds "
Muslims begin all acts by saying "Bismillah" ( In the name of Allah)
Muslims justify their actions as "Fisabilillah" (In the cause of Allah) kinda related to Jihad .
We serves good to people in order to deserves good from Allah . only seek rewards from The Lord not from others.
one thing should bare in mind:
we cannot know whether our deeds pleasing Allah because He know the best , He is The Almighty .
What kind of intentions will Allah accept ?
" Allah is pure and good , He accepts only what is pure and good "
[sahih muslim]
Intentions are good when they conform what are permitted (halal) and prohibited (haram) in the Quran and Sunnah.
They are pure when the aim is solely to please Allah Most High.
PURITY OF INTENTION (IKHLAS AN-NIYYAT) is a matter of heart .
everything started with niat.
قُلْ إِن تُخْفُواْ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ أَوْ
تُبْدُوهُ يَعْلَمْهُ اللّهُ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي
الأرْضِ وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Whether ye hide what is in your
hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the
heavens, and what is on earth. And Allah has power over all things.
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
As for those who strive in Our
way, We will certainly take them onto Our paths, and indeed Allah is
with those who are good in deeds.
Attaining the purity of intentions , it is a gift from Allah .
Subhanallah
We can and must prepare ourselves to obtain this gift.
Allah does not guide one who is liar , and a disbeliever because Islam clarified and guides to the truth.
" Truthfulness leads to righteousness , and righteousness leads to Heavens "
Rasulullah said : " Allah is truly pleased with a servant eating a meal and thanking Him for it and having a drink and thanking for Him for it "
(sahih muslim)
The best protection against evil whispers , is to seek refuge in Allah through constant remembrance .
Zikrullah.
Let us be truthful , grateful . May Allah be pleased with us .
Amin .
Alhamdulillah ala nikmatan lil alamin .
