Day 27 Muslim Tasks

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim / بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

As-salam alaykum. How are you today? Do you know about Ikhlaas in doing good deeds? "Ikhlaas is that you do not request anyone to witness your action except Allaah, and that you do not seek anyone to reward you (for it) except Him".

Salamah bin Dinar said, "Hide your good deeds (from the people) just like you hide your evil deeds". (Abu Nu’aym, Bayhaqee) And in a narration in al-Bayhaqee, "Hide your good deed like you hide your evil deed, and do not be amazed with your own action, for you do not know whether you are happy or wretched (in the Hereafter)".

Today new task is to hide your good deed like you hide your evil deed because if a worshiper does a deed with the goal of having people see it, and he remains with this evil intention, then his deed is disgraced, and he commits minor shirk, and he runs the risk of it leading him to major shirk.

Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful.

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]

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.

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]

And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."

They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise."

Day 15 Muslim Tasks

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.

Who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.

How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.

As-salam alaykum. Happy Eid. May Allah SWT accept our deeds for today. Do you know why Muslims perform Pilgrimage (Hajj)? Then try to understand their purpose by watching the following video.

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.

O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -

[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him].
