May we be sacrificed upon them that their shins would swell due to worshipping at nights but the amount of their worship would not reduce. The only desire those sacred personalities held was to value the rest of their life and better their afterlife by performing virtuous deeds.

Alas! Majority of people do not care about their afterlife nowadays. They remain engaged in all sorts of sins all day long. When the night falls, they start committing sins again and fall asleep heedlessly committing sins. May Allah Almighty bestow mercy upon us.

Dear Islamic sisters! Some Islamic sisters are wasting the precious moments of their life in disobedience to Allah Almighty and useless activities. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘اِحْرِصْ عَلٰی مَایَنْفَعُکَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللّٰہِ وَلَاتَعْجَزْ’ i.e. ‘have greed for what will benefit you and seek help from Allah Almighty, do not lose heart.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1098, Hadees 2664)

Under this Hadees, ‘Allamah Sharf-ud-Deen Nawavi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: ‘Be extremely greedy in worshipping Allah Almighty and also keep greed of being rewarded over it. However, rather than believing in your efforts to perform worship, seek help from Allah Almighty.’ (Sharh Navawi, Juz 16, vol. 16/8, pp. 215) 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Wealth is a test

O devotees of Rasool! Remember! Abundance of wealth at times also becomes a test for a man. However, the difficulties one had to go through to earn it are normally ignored. People always remain engaged in thinking about earning worldly wealth. They come up with different ideas day and night in regard to how to earn wealth abundantly even if they are to adopt Haraam means to earn it. All they care about is just to earn wealth. Doesn’t matter where it comes from and how is it earned.
