PEARLS OF WISDOM
‘A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement’… (Quran 2:263)
Every breath is a gift from God. Be grateful to the Creator Whose blessings you cannot count. ‘And if ye would count the favours of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo, Allah is indeed Forgiving, Merciful.’ … (Quran 16:18).
Be humble and down to earth. A branch of tree bearing fruit bends down. Arrogance is cursed. Allah says: ‘And walk not in the earth exultant. Lo, you cannot rend the earth, nor can you stretch to the heights of the hills.’ … (Quran 17:37).
Be ready to give service. What we do for others counts most in life. You dosomething for somebody today and somebody will do something for you tomorrow. ‘Therefore remember me, I will remember you. Give thanks to Me, and reject not Me.’… (Quran 2:152).
If you see someone without a smile, give him/her one of yours. The magic about the smile is that when you give it to others, you don’t lose it. It’s ‘sadakah’, meaning you’ll get reward from Allah for that. And smiling faces look beautiful too!
Do not under-estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring – all of which have the potential to turn a life around. And it’s all ‘sadakah’ bringing you reward in the Hereafter.
Become a ‘people’s person’. Be genuinely interested in people. If you try, you can like everybody and everybody will like you. It helps in fulfilling the obligations of ‘Haqooq-ul-Ibaad’. And again you will get reward for that in the Hereafter. Remember: ‘Lo, Allah loves not such as are proud and boastful.’ … (Quran 4:36).
Call people by name as it pleases them. The sweetest music to anyone’s ears is the sound of his/her own name. Allah loves to be called by the best of names and the same goes for His masterpiece creation. And you’ll get reward for that in the Hereafter.
Learn to understand first and to be understood second. It helps in developing tolerance and mutual understanding. Allah loves those who love His creation. This is a great quality of ‘akhlaaq-i-Islami’ that will bring you reward in the Hereafter.
Allah has blessed humans with intelligence. Keep thinking positive. Life ends when you stop Thinking. Hope ends when you stop Believing. Love ends when you stop Caring. And friendship ends when you stop Sharing. Positive thinking, believing, caring and sharing – all parts of the character of a Muslim – will bring you reward in the Hereafter.
Every adversity, every situation, every issue, every pain and every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to life. There is a lesson for us in each one of them and that should be considered a blessing. Remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining. Allah says: ‘Allah would make the burden light for you, for man was created weak.’ … (Quran 4:28).
Believe in your dreams. Every great success started with a small dream. When you find a dream inside you, don’t ever let it go; for dreams are the tiny seeds from which the big beautiful tomorrows grow, provided you nourish them with sincerity, hardwork and honesty of purpose.
Live a modest and simple life. There is beauty in simplicity. Allah says: ‘Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo, the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.’ … (Quran 31:19).
Put a smile on your face now. It is ‘sadakah’ and you will get reward for that in the Hereafter. Why worry and have wrinkles when you can smile and have dimples? People would like you.
Be happy. I used to say that it is easy to be mad and hard to be glad. But one Darvish corrected me and said: It’s hard to be mad and it’s easy to be glad. Don’t be cruel to yourself. Try to be happy. Live without stress.That’s the best recipé for a healthy body and a healthy mind.
Don’t rush. Take your time. Easy does it. Rushing is Devil’s quality. Haste creates waste. Most of the things done in a hurry are not quality and need to be redone. When you are rushing, you are risking everything, even your life.
Live in truth and with truth. Truth is divine and will always lead you out of misery. It saves you from troubles. Honesty is the best policy, we all know that. Allah says: ‘Confound not truth with falsehood, nor knowingly conceal the truth.’ (Quran 2:42).
Be humane and treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.
‘Allah loves those whose deeds are good.’ … (Quran 3:148).
May the rest of the day be the best of your day. Have a nice evening and remember me in your prayers, please. God bless you.
