with my Lord’s decree).”

It is also reported that Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم  spent ten years of his life in the same woollen robe. Whenever it tore, he would mend it with rope or patch it.^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! You heard how Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم embraced simplicity, willingly endured hunger and thirst, preferred austerity, offered prayers even on freezing winter nights, cried out of fear of Allah Almighty, loved the poor and needy, and remained independent of the wealthy.

Now, let us reflect on our own lives in light of his blessed life:

*     Do we prefer simplicity in our lives?

*     Do we offer prayers diligently in all seasons, whether hot or cold?

*     Have we ever wept out of the fear of Allah?

*     Do we show love and care for the poor and needy?

*     Do we strive to detach ourselves from the love of this transient world?

*     Do we feel a sense of accountability for the Hereafter within ourselves?

May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to evaluate our actions, regularly attend Sunnah-inspired gatherings, and remember the righteous. Through their blessings, may we become practicing.
