Day 25 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. May today be a day where we renew our intention to make good deeds in order to get Allah's blessing. I found the following infographic about the 6 Good Deeds to Paradise that I would like to share together with you.

Today new task is to be truthful when you speak because it is part of a Muslim's faith to speak the truth and to say things that bring about benefit to others. When we have nothing beneficial to say, silence is golden. Allah says: “O you who believe! Fear Allah and speak a word that is right. He will set right for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great achievement.” [ Sûrah al-Ahzâb : 70-71]

O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds.

Day 24 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. How do feel today? Do you know that there is an easy way to feel happy in this world? The secret is to forgive other people who have wronged you!

Today new task is to forgive other people because when you forgive, your heart begins to heal, your back straightens up, your eyes clear so that you can see the road ahead. Anger is a spiritual sickness; but when you forgive you live. It doesn’t matter if the other person deserves forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself.

“Hold to forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant.” (Qur’an, 7: 199)

As-salam alaykum. May Allah SWT forgive us for our past sins and for the days to come. Did you know that there is one simple but hard to do task which we can implement in order to feel the sweetness of Iman?

 

Today new task is to lower your gaze because lowering one’s gaze is one of the most important things that a Muslim should do to protect himself from the punishment of Allah. Every sincere Muslim should spare no pains in this regard and should take practical steps to guard his gaze and overcome his weakness. Read twenty tips for lowering the gaze by Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid.

Day 20 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. How are you doing today? Do you feel sufficient today? If yes, you should thank Allah SWT for giving us so many favours (blessings) that we are not able to count them all. He provides us with good health, and intellect with which to think; eyes with which to see; ears with which to hear. He also supplies us with food and drink. It is through His favour that we may be healed when we are ill. We should always feel thankful for the blessings of Allah and praise and thank Him.

Our Prophet said: "Whoever is satisfied with food and drink and praises Allah for His blessings, Allah will certainly reward him for his thanks as surely as He gives the fasting man a reward for his fasting, because Allah appreciates the good deeds of His servants and He loves them to show their gratitude."

Today new task is to say thanks to Allah for everything because to give thanks to Allah for His blessings is itself a Blessing which is bestowed upon a believer only. A believer will thank Allah for everything and in every situation, so thanking Allah will become a blessing itself. Let’s Say Alhamdulillah in every situation. InshaAllah.

Day 19 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. Do you know that there is a simple way to get 2,500 good deeds per day? Our Prophet SAW said: 'There are two qualities, no Muslim man acquires them but he will enter Paradise, and they are simple and easy. He should glorify Allaah (say Subhaan Allaah) ten times immediately after each prayer, and praise Him (say Al-hamdu Lillaah) ten times and magnify Him (say Allaahu akbar) ten times.

 

' I saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) counting this on his fingers. He said: 'That makes one hundred and fifty on the tongue, and one thousand five hundred (hasanaat) in the scales. Each of three phrases repeated ten times makes thirty; multiplied by the number of daily prayers, which is five, makes one hundred and fifty. Each of these good deeds of the tongue will be rewarded with ten hasanaat which will be added to the total of good deeds to be weighed in the balance or scales on the Day of Judgement.

When you go to bed, glorify Him and praise Him and magnify Him one hundred times: (33 times Subhaan Allaah, 33 times Al-hamdu Lillaah, 34 times Allaahu Akbar) that will be one hundred on the tongue and a thousand in the scales.

Today new task is to say 33 times Subhaan Allaah, 33 times Al-hamdu Lillaah, 34 times Allaahu Akbar after salaah and before go to sleep because Allah's messenger (SAW) said: "Is anyone of you incapable of earning 1000 Hasanah (rewards) in a day?" Someone from his gathering asked, "how can anyone of us earn 1000 Hasanah?" He (SAW) said "Glorify Allah 100 times & 1000 Hasanah will be written for you, or 1000 sins will be wiped away". Saying "SubhanAllah" x100 is enough to get 1000 good deeds written, or 1000 sins wiped out (Sahih Muslim 4/2073).

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. Jumma Mubarak. May Allah SWT blessed us today and accept our previous deeds.

 

Today new task is to Respect for your Neighbours because Allah informed us that neighbours are important segments in the society. Without having good neighbours, people will have a difficult and a miserable life. Accordingly Allah (swt) informed us to look after the neighbours, to take care of them, to keep good relations and to make sure that we have good neighbours. In taking care of neighbours, Allah SWT associated them with categories of parents, relatives, orphans, poor and needy. In Surah An-Nisa' (The Women) Allah says:

"Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and what your right hands posses: for God loves not the arrogant, the vainglorious."  [4:36]

Day 16 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. Do you feel jealous or sad when seeing other Muslim brothers live happily than you? Then beware! Every Muslim is obliged to love for his brother what he loves for himself of good things, and to hate for his brother what he hates for himself of bad things. This does not mean that he cannot like for himself what he likes for others. If he sees that his brother has something that he does not, and he wishes that he had it too, this is ghibtah (envy that is free from malice); if he wishes that the blessing would be taken away from them, this is called hasad (destructive jealousy).

Today new task is to overcome jealousy because jealousy is a disease of the heart. In order to overcome jealousy, first of all, we must remember that it is Haram and it displeases Allah. A jealous person is a sick person and he/she must try to get rid of this sickness. One action that helps overcome jealousy is that if you feel jealous of some person, try to do good to that person, especially in the matter in which you feel jealous of him. For example if you feel jealous of a person’s good reputation, try to praise him more. If your jealousy tells you to harm some person or to wish him/her bad things, try to do good, show more kindness, give some gifts and try to make that person happy. It is not easy, but do this to please Allah. You will avoid a sin and at the same time make your heart healthy and happy.

It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. Do you have any difficulties lately? Will you be glad if other Muslims care to help you in solving or reducing your problems?

Today new task is to help others because doing service for humanity is one of the greatest ways we can show our devotion to Allah. Allah likes it so much when we help others that He forgives us our sins for something as simple as moving some thorns out of the path where people walk. Abû Hurayrah quotes the Prophet SAW as saying: “A man was going on his way when he saw brambles in the path. He moved these out of the way. Allah so esteemed his virtuous act that He granted him forgiveness." [Sahih Muslim]

Allah SWT grants His forgiveness to those who sacrifice of themselves to help the victims of misfortune. Allah does not only grant forgiveness for those who engage in such virtuous deeds, but in His infinite mercy, he makes their account easy on the Day of Judgment.

Day 14 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. Hope your day today is full with happiness and smiling. Today new task is to keep smiling because it is Sunnah.

According to Islam, smiling is charity. If you are unable to give charity with money and materials then you should simply smile. Prophet Muhammad SAW reported to have said: "There is no person who does not have the obligation of (doing) charity every day that the sun rises." And he added: "And your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, your removing of stones and thorns from people's paths is charity, and your guiding a man gone astray in the world is charity for you."

And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.

Sahih International

Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. How are you today? May Allah SWT accept our sacrifice during this month. Love is among the most exalted of human feelings. When this love revolves around Almighty Allah and forms the basis for our interpersonal relationships, many problems can be weathered and great fruits can be harvested for both the individual and society as a whole. The Qur’an and Sunnah often speak about the noble status of those whom Allah graces to possess such love.




To Love for the Sake of Allah SWT

Today new task is to renew our love to someone  for the sake of Allah. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet SAW said, Allah will ask on the Day of Judgment: “Where are those who loved each other for the sake of My glory? Today, on a day when there is no shade but Mine, I shall shade them with My shade.” (Muslim)

"To love for the sake of Allah" means loving someone, not for any worldly gain, but because he/she is more religious and pious or he/she is very learned in Islam knowledge or is busy in serving other people because it is commanded by Allah, e.g. one's parents.

Optimism and Hope from Allah

Today new task is to be optimistic towards Allah SWT. Besides fear of Allah, we must be expecting good from Him. Abu Hurairah has quoted our Prophet SAW saying, “Hoping for good is also an act of worship of Allah.” (Tirmidhi and Hakim)

In a hadith, our blessed Prophet has quoted the Divine words, “I am what my bondsman thinks of Me, and where he remembers Me, there I am with him.” (Bukhari and Muslim). The right way is to try to improve ourselves and to balance Allah's fear and good hopes from Him.

As-salam alaykum. Happy good weekend. Hope you are doing well this week. If you are not feeling good because someone else is ruining your mood or something is not happening for you, then be patience!

Be Patience

Today new task is to be patience. Productive Muslim wrote, sometimes in life, hardships befall us. It sometimes feels like difficulties add up on one another and the light at the end of the tunnel, is merely a mirage. So how do we maintain our productivity during times of tribulation? As Muslims, we should know that they are part of our life in the dunya and we should be prepared to behave in the best way in such times. Allah SWT has been exceptionally merciful as to provide us with tips to remain steadfast in times of trial:

“And seek help in patience and As-Salah and truly it is extremely heavy and hard except for humbly submissive [to Allah]”[Quran chapter 2, Verse 45].

Good Intention (Niyyah)

Today new task is to correct our intention in every action that we performed daily. From the Islam point of view, niyyah means “Decision to fulfill a duty to obey Allah’s commands and seek His consent only.”. It looks simple, but if you make niyyah for your action then it will be rewarded by Allah SWT.

Seeking forgiveness from Allah Almighty

Today new task is to seek forgiveness from Allah SWT on a daily basis. We all make mistakes everyday whether we realized it or not. Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “The children of Adam are all profuse wrongdoers, but the best of the profuse wrongdoers are those who repent” (Tirmidhi). He also said, “Whoever seeks Allah’s pardon, Allah makes for him a way out of all tight corners, removes all his worries, and grants him sustenance from sources he had never imagined” (Abu Dawud). We can start by repeating the Arabic words astaghfirullah, meaning "I seek forgiveness from Allah" ten times (10X) after salah prayer. You can also istighfar at any times when you remember in a day.

As Salam. Glory and Praise be to Allah the Almighty. How's is your Iman today? Keep doing whatever good deeds you have been working on lately. Today new task is quite simple but require a lot of determination to do it.

As-salamu alaykum

As-salam alaykum (السلام عليكم) is an Arabic greeting often used by Muslims around the world. It nearly translates to "peace be upon you", but is often considered the equivalent to "hello" or "good day" in English. The standard response to the greeting is Wa alaykumu s-salam. A more formal reply, "wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh," meaning "may peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you," may be used to be more courteous, as the Qur'an commands, in Sura 4, verse 86:

"When a greeting is offered, you answer it with an even better greeting, or (at least) with its like. Allah keeps account of all things."

Giving Salam is a Sunnah. Your task is to give Salam when you meet other Muslim brothers around you. Give Salam also when you want to leave them.
